coLoR IN Musrc.

What Is to be the end of using such words as '.color' and the like to describe certain effects of music? We read that no one surpasses so-and-so. a musician. in colorlng. that his coloring is superb. masterful. grand. A pianist puts color In her execution. violinist nddles with color. The composer knows what color is of course and the coloring of Wagner Is compared with Verdrs. The Is no reference to the color of the artists skin or oe his hair. The critic is telling as something about music. We saw the other day in high-class weekly periodi- cal an estimate of the music of Richard Strauss. His 'Don Quixote,' we are there told of a musical composition. let the reader memember-"has depth and tenderhess of comedy. ripe and en- frightened htQnanity, vigor and truth of characterization. which are nothing less than Shakespearean." Plain people would call this bosh. For ourselves we can only inquire in an humble spirit how some bars of music can exhibit the spirit of comedy we find in Shakespeare's writ ings. how a rife and enlightened humani- ty, such as Lord Shaftesbury's for ex- ample. can be manifested by orchestral strains and how character, like Sancho Paeaza's for instance, can be expressed by flutes. violins. vlolanchelli. ofoes, horns. bassoons, clarinets, trombones and drums? This speaks ignorance to the music-lover, at least, to the musical critic. He plunders all the arts. poetry, painting, sculpture and architecture for words and images to describe the emo- lions that i'll his bosom when he listens 10 strains he likes. The time is coming when ''color'' will be a mild word in music; all the devotees will understand what it means and they will have gone out in search of new fields of objectives and nouns to conquer. We look to see slse time. when a concerto movement fin Smith'a u4th symphony will be found an exact likeness to the dome of the capitol or may be the spire of St. Johns Church.
 We have known a sonata composed to Rowers's Greek Slave" 4na a cadenza fo q ragged urcMn muaening appl-s while he cast stones in a stream. We are of course fiInging our own musical terms about somewhat loosely. We have no idea what a concerto is. for instance, but we claim the right to blunder about and misuse musical terms in retort upon the swelling. bursting music lover who spews out adjectives of length. breadth and thickness. of height and depth. of every dimension in space. of the moral and the immoral. the true, the beautiful and the good to make you understand whatg Nothing more than that he felt good down to the bottom of his boots.
 Why does not the musical critic in- vent some words to describe his wonder ful sensations and leave alone good old words like. color. that have fixed sensl- ole interpretation. We love music, oI dear. yes. but we believe there Is good deal of humbuggery in many quarters in trying to put this love into words.

NEW YORK'S ACCIDENTS LINER GOES AGROUND AND HAS
 COLLISION.
  Huge Passenger Steamer and the British Troopship Assaye Come Together During Fog in the English Channel.

southamton, March 2O.-The American Line steamship New York, Captain Young. from New York, March 12. for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southamten. met with two mishaps today. grounding off Cape La Hague, France, in the early morning, and later coming into collision in the English Channel with the Penin- sular and Oriental steamship Assaye, un- der contract to the British Government and used as a troop ship. bound for Bonl- bay with 800 troops on board.
 The New York grounded while ap- preaching Cherbourg at 2;So o'clock this morning, during a fog The sea was smooth and the tide was on the flood, and within an hour and half the vessel was fioated without assistance. Her bot tom was damaged, and there was water in the holds. but she was able to pro- ceed.
 During the voyage up the channel. a dense fog descended. When off Hurst Castle, England. the Assaye suddenly ap- peared, and k was found impossible to avoid a collision. The New Yorks bow crashed into the Assayes starboard bow. New York's bowsprit and fgure-head were carried away. and the latter was smashed into fragments.
 There was great excitement on both vessels. The boats of the Assaye were lowered and the troops were mustered, but the bulkhead of the troop ship saved her. Both vessels were able to enter Southamtonp, and the New York was docked at 6:30 o'clock for temporary re- pairs. Nobody was injured. It will be im- possible to estimate the damage to tine New York until she has been put into dry dock.
 It is believed that both vessels have been somewhat seriously injured. An other troop ship will replace the Assaye.

There is an old Latin maxim which, translated means ''the pen is worse than the sword" Bulwer Lytton slightly changes 1t to read:
 Beneath the rule of men entirely great. The pen is mightier than the sword.
 That last line is the way the expres- sion is most usually quoted and referred to. It sounds more satisfactory that way to men of peace and literary tastes. Nevertheless the old Latin form was not so bad. for in certain hands the pen is capable of doing many cruel and grievous things that sword could hardly accom- plish.
 However. 1t was of material things that we started, to speak. and the idea of if was furnished by an item in the New York Press, which contains the assertion that more steel Is used in the manufac. ture of pens than In all the sword and gun factories in the world" That such statement sounds incredible is certainly true. but the Press refers to figures and statistics to prove the truth of the asser. ton and we have no means of disproving 1t. As an evidence of the correctness of the claim the Press tells of one firm of pen manufacturers which uses about 400 tons of fine steel each year. and as this IS but one of the many concerns engaged In the same business 1t can be seen that the total amount used is enormous.
 We have no figures at hand to show no" much steel is used each year in the manufacture fo swords and guns, for they are made in many lands and countries. put when we think that every time one or these weapons Is turned out from the shop the tiny atoms of steel which go to make up the pens outweigh the more bulky sword or gun we can realize that the pen is really the mightiest, even fin the practical and industrial view.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
AdYisea fhl

Advises the Irish to Stay at Home. Special tc the New York Herald.
 Baltimore Cardinal Gibbons and oth- CT Catholic cltrgymen have written let tcrs to the II4sh Immigration Society of land and noS einigrate to the United States, The Cardintl states:--
 know under what circumstances people live in America. My advice to the young men and women Of Ireland is to endeayor to find Q livelihood In their owi, land Ireland Is blessed with a de- lightfui climate, where the great ex- trcme of heat and cold are unknown whereas in the United States these ex- trsmes are very serious drawbacks.
 Any man or woman who could eke out a livelihood at home should take my advice and stay there instead of em- igrating to America to enter on the keen struggle for existence under the trying circumstances that are in progress here.''
 Bishop Ludden, of Syracuse, writes:-- 'All the places are filled, all the offices arc occupied and even e smart young lrishman coming here has Great difficult ty to nnd position and if he ts to get anything toz do 1t must be in the most rnenial, common and laborious occupa- ton. would like my voice and my ad- vice to reach every young man in Ire- land, # he can possibly find a compe- tence and decent way of living at home to stay there"
 Archbishop Keane says:-'Stay at home in Ireland, the land of your birth. You will find plenty there for your en- erg1es to do."
 John Redmond states;--"I have seen the Irish laborer in. the great steel works have seen him working almost like a white slave, stripped almost naked in the furnace. working ten and awelve hours a day and sometimes sixten for a tioiL lar and half. l say the poorest man in Kerry is better of in Ireland than these men in America. When IL Is remembered that a dollar in America will not buy more than twenty-five cents will buy in Ireland you should think whether a dol las and a half day lis worth a day of such clayery."

The Philadelphia Record properly re-

 For the removal of Miss Todd from her position as Postmistress was as dirty a bargain as ever disgraced official action. It was worse than the famous bargain between Blyhl and Black George-be- tween black-ieg and gambler. as one ex- pressed 1t.

lady who was said to be unfriendiy to the Delaware bosses was to be- Delaware's vote for Roosevelt. The price was fixed and 1t has been paid.
 There was time wheh Theodore Roosevelt posed as reforner. Even be- fore he became member of the Civil Service Commission he was credited with being an uncompromising advocate of re- form. He was not President in those days. and perhaps never dreamed of such elevation. There was then no cause for him to play the hypocrite or bargain with . notorious scoundrei for delegates. If he was honest in his professions he is not honest in violating them.
 And the disgusting part of the whole affair Is that the trumped-up charges against Miss Todd were not true. The Civil Service Reform League has investi- gated the charges and finds nothing in them. She was dismissed because SAd dicks demanded it and bargained for 1t. The charges against her were an after thought. to give some color of reason for her removal If 1t had been true that she had spoken against Alice or Addicks 1t would have been no reason for her dismissal. but even that poor excuse isI not left the President and his Postmaster General. The dismissal would have been an act of the lowest partisanship if the charges had been true. As they were not true the act was infinitely more discred- itable. and the League has found no evi- dence to sustain them. It was low piece of work all the way through. and neither the President nor his tools can defend 1t. But he has been paid.
