Church Choir Reform.

New York, Sept. 25. Women
singers are finally to be excluded
from the choirs of the Roman
Catholic churches of New York,
and the Gregorian chant is to re-
place the more forid music which
has heretofore been part of the
mass. The order making these
changes went forth to the head of
every Roman Catholic church in
the diocese of Archbishop Farley
today.
1t is issued in accordance with
one of the first public instructions
of the new Pope, directing the
correction of abuses which have
crept into the musical part of the
liturgical functions in churches.
In his letter to the heads of the
Roman Catholic churches of his
diocese, Archbishop Farley states
that "the words of the Vicar of
Christ leave no room for doubt as
to the weight of our obligations in
bringing about the needed reforms
in our liturgical chant" !" He adds
that the report of the musical
commission appointed by him
shall form for his diocese the law
relating to music at all liturgical
functions. The report of the
commission is in part as follows:
The music must be such as not
to attract to itself the attention of
the hearers, so as to become
source of distraction from the di-
vine service, to which it must be
entirely subservient as an aid to
devotion; boy choirs must take
the place of soprano and contlalto
singers"
Then follows a long and techni-
cal description of the music to be
eliminated from the churches, af-
ter which comes the statement that
all not of the Roman Catholic
faith are to be denied admission
to the choirs, and "only those are
to be admitted to form part of
the choir of the church who are Of
known piety and probity of life,
and by their modest and devout
bearing, during the liturgical
functions, show that they are
worthy of the holy Office they ex-
ercise. /" rimes-Democrat.

A writer in the Pascagoula
Democrat-Star takes the position
that the present State Legislature
is too large and cumbersome, and
that the membership of the body
should be reduced to about seven
ty EIGHT. He thinks much better
results could be obtained by re-
ducing the membership. OF late
years it has become a common
complaint during the Legislature
that the committees are too large
and unwieldy. Everyone familiar
with legislative machinery knows
that the work of the Legislature
is done by few heads on each
committee. A large body of mem
bers necessitates large committees,
and it is difficult to get large COM
mittees together for work. T. d.

About Carrying Pistols.

| saAsSsse NAAtS jas sSsS1~e
The Picaynne correspondent at
jackson writes the following well
balanced article on pistol carry
ing:
The papers of great many
counties of the State are com
menting on the remarkable small
number of pistols and other weap-
ons usually carried in concealment,
as shown up by the assessment
rolls. In many instances it is said
that the average citizen can count
more pistols owned by parties,
within his own knowledge, than
the assessment rolls show for the
entire county. This remarkable
fact is not due to any desire to
eVade the few cents taxes which
could be collected on a pistol, but
rather indicates that the owners of
such weapons are SO heartily
ashamed of their possession that
they prefer to periure themselves
rather than let it become known
that they own and probably carry
a pistol. It is recognized fact
that the larger percentage of kill
ings is due to the habit of carry
ing pistols, and it is also a recog-
nized fact that the better class of
citizens of the State do not carry
them any more. But it is not es-
pecially gratifying to this class to
feel that they are in measure at
the mercy of the bully who goes
about armed. It is evident that
the present law is not effective,
and there is scarcely legislative
session that does not develop some
effort to make the law more effec-
tive. At one time in the history
of the State the penalty was i'm
prisonment and fine, with no dis
cretion to the trial Judge in fixing
the sentence, except as to the du-
ration of the imprisonment penal
ty. This drastic law was never
enforced, the juries believing that
the penalty was too severe, and in
several instances where conviction
was unavoidable the trial Judge
satisfied the law by imposing lone
hour in the Jail" as the imprison-
ment part of the sentence. This
one hour was, in such cases pleas
antly passed by the defendant in
the sheriff's Office while smoking
a cigar. Some of the leading
thinkers of the State have express
ed themselves as favoring system
under which the carrying of pis-
tolls should be licensed, thus re-
quiring the pistol-toter to wear a
public badge proclaiming to the
community in which he lived that
he had pistol in his hip pocket,
The infant daughter Of the late
/. B. Applewhite died Wednes-
day and on Thursday was laid
away at CaseyvilIe. When this
lovely child was only a few days
old, her mother died; and last
june the father left this little one,
and four others, orphans. Since
that time they have been tenderly
cared for by the fathers brother,
Mr.. R. G. AppIewhite and bis
wife, with whom the remaining
children will continue to make
their home. The little girl who,
was two years of age, is sadly
mourned by the bereaved family
and the sympathy of many friends
goes out to them.

Marine Disasters.

The destruction Of the excursion
steamer General Slceum near He'll Gate
Yesterday and the burning to death and
drowning of nearly one thousand per-
sons. mostly women and children, has
naturally caused many to ask the ques-
ton, Isn't such a catastrophe possible
on the Potomac during the excursion
season? In the summer time steamers
often stagger away from the docks OF
this city with their guards in the water
and with every available foot OF their
decks occupied with human souls.
Should a FIRE break out there is every
reason to believe that half of the pas
sengers would perish. A fire on &
steamboat is one of the most terrible
contingencies imaginable. The inilam-
able nature of the wood work, generally
satuated with oil, renders it highly COM
bustible, and almost before it can be
realized the boat is a roaring mass OF
flames and death to most of the assem-
gers is inevitable. There have been
comparatively few marine horrors here
abonts. Several steamers have been
destroyed by FIRE on the Potomac dur
ing the past third Of century.
All, however, but one we're at their docks
at the time disaster overlook them. The
burning of the river steamer Wawaset,
August s, 1873, was marine horror,
and one long to be remembered. Suisse
quently additional safeguards against
fires were adopted on the different river
boats, but there is eyery reason to believe
that proper precautions are not taken on
excursion steamers where men are smok-
ing and thinking Of everything else save
danger. Many will remember cruel
report which was started in this city in
July. 1876, when canard WAS circulated
to the effect that the excursion steamer
Jane Moseley with six hundred women
and children aboard was burning near
Marshall Hall. People crowded the
wharves and passed through terrible
period of suspense uutil satisfied OF the
safety of the steamer 1t is hoped the
sad fate of the General Slocum will cause
those who own excursion steamers rum
ming on these waters to take due precau-
tons for the safety of passengers, especial
ly against that terrible cOntingency-hre.
