THE LECTURE RECITAL.
Edward Benjamin Perry at the Con-
nreoatiOpal Church December 4.

This uuione combination of the fnnc-
tions of lecturer and concert pianist,
original with Mr.. Perry. is meeting a
general need, and finding universal favor
Throughout the country. Mr.. Perry's
purpo,. in adopting the Lecture-Recital
is two.fold; first, to add to the benefit
derived by students from listening to his
| programs, and second. to popularize the
hes in pilnoforte music with the general
public. The method he employs is to
preface each number of a carefully select
ed program with brief verbal analysis,
calling attention to it's origin, form,
salient characteristics, and descriptive or
emotional significance. The result is,
while giving to music students and
amateurs Information aud suggestions OF
value to them from an educational stand
point, at the same time to render each
composition ineligible and consequently
ENJOYABLE to every listener. even to those
who have not the least technical tr inning
in the art No one who possesses or de.
sizes to ',oseoss any degree OF musical cul-
turp, can afford tn miss the opportunity
of becoming better acquainted with the
masterpieces of the great tone-poets pre-
scented by Mr.. Perry at the Congrega-
tona church, Monday eve. Dec. T.

From q High Authority.

Comptroller CIRCUIT has not heeitated
since ne entered on his present term OF
Office to disagree with Mayor MCCLELLAN
when, in his opinion, the city's chief
executive was in the wrong. His i'm
portant Office affords peculiar oppor-
tunity for the head Of the Finance De-
partment to know how his colleagues in
the municipal government are perform
ing their duties. The Comptroller must
understand what Is going forward in
every department, and why, and how.
Because OF these facts, this passage from
Z public statement addressed to Mr..
MCCLELLAN and issued yesterday by
Mr.. CIRCUIT Is Of particular interest to
the citizens Of New York:
There would seem TO be little doubt that YOU
will receive tho triumphant reelection to which
tho high character Of your administration entities
you, and any service which l can render to that
end can. think, be given as effectively, and will
be given os cordially. whether l am . candidate
or not"
1t is not improper to recall the fact
that the Hon. EDWARD NJ. CIRCUIT, during
the greater part Of the last two years,
has been an adherent Of faction OF the
Democracy opposed to that which has had
the support Of Mr.. MCCLELLAN.

1t is gratifying to hear that the importa-
ton Of frogs into the Hawaiian Islands has
proved to be q success. The islands had
no frogs, they needed them and the demand
has finally created a home supply. Accord
ing to the report OF the Fish Commission
the frogs are multiplying, and 1t may soon
be profitable to catch them for market.
It was not the original purpose, however,
70 eat tho frogs. but to give them a chance
to eat things that we're not desirable to have
around. A certain worm infested the
grass or slime in and about the pools, and
II cattle or sheep swallowed 1t they were
likely to die. 1t was thought also that the
frogs might assist In thinning out some Of
the noxious insects. So some Of the plant
ers persevered in shipping frogs from the
United States. though the island rats de-
clared war on the newcomers and killed
most OF the early importations.
The frogs are now very we'll scattered
over all the islands and are making their
influence felt. They are playing havoc
with some Of the insects; they are reducing
the number Of fukes that decimate the
herds and hocl1s in a most insidious way.
The natives say 1t is good to have frogs
around and they are glad that the little
fellows have taken 30 kindly to the islands.
Perhaps many OF us do not appreciate
the frog as much as he deserves, but We
might feel our loss II he should disappear.

Lipton's Challenge and the Nov
Rule.


Sir THOMAS L1pToN is ready and will
ing to make another attempt to lift tho
Americas Cup. He has written letter
to the New York Yacht Club inquiring
whether it would accept a challenge
under it's new rule OF racing measure
ment The club has answered through
it's secretary that it would decide this
question after receiving the challenge.
Sir THOMAS L1PToN is now chewing the
cud Of reflection and endeavoring to
penetrate to the precise significance Of
this oracular answer.
The New York Yacht Club has for two
or three seasons past been racing under
new rule Of measurement intended to
discourage the construction Of mere
racing machines with exaggerated over
hangs and cumbrous spar plans. 1t has
been demonstrated that under this new
rule sound and wholesome type Of
yacht. fast in light airs and weatherly
in fresh breezes and rufled seas, could
bedeveloped. Other clubs have adopted
the rule, and IL is now in almost general
use among the yacht clubs Of the East
ern seaboard.
Why the New York Yacht Club should
hesitate to announce it's readiness to
defend the America Cup under the new
rule seems inexplicable. The conditions
under which the. nautical battles have
been waged in recent years have caused
much dissat isfaotion, especially In Great

II doubtless WAS taken for granted by
his enemies that, having had no ex-

discharge them successfully. He was
just a straightforward man who loved
his country. That sufiioed.
Suppose that such man as Mr. WIrTE
had been the Cars Ambassador at
Washington during the years imme-
diatsly preceding the outbreak OF the
recent war. In view Of the breadth
and depth Of the impression made by
thu remarkable statesman ON American
public opinion within tho span Of few
weeks, who can doubt that he might
have stayed to considerable extent tho
tide OF popular sentiment that flowed
80 strongly toward Japan? He could
not have altered our conviction that
Japan was right in protesting by force
Of arms against Russia's delay in the
evacuation Of Manchuria, and against
her sneroachments on Corea. Yet, If
such man a. Mr.. WITTE had been here,
to keep alive and fruitful in our hearts
the grateful memory Of past indebted
ness, We should have earnestly deplored
the errors into which the nations old
friend was drifting. and might have
tried our utmost to shield her from the
dismal consequences Of grave mistakes.
Under such circumstances, the Ports

have been called much earlier.

Building estimates by tho Board OF

SO great an increase, and In particular

Mayor MCCLELLAN would have been re-
garded as wild II no had advised the

Since 1900 alone the school registration
has increased by about two hundred
thousand, and II the expenditures on
new school buildings had been increased
by third, even by half, not too much
Of 1t would have been done In the face
of this extraordinary increase In the
demand.
It is a situation OF great difficulty
which has confronted every Mayor dur
ing the period, and IL the growth Of tho
population OF New York continues for
another Ave years at it's present rate 1t
will become more and moro embarrass-
ing. Already tho cost OF free public
education amounts to more than
quarter of the city budget. 1t is an
enormous burden, willingly assumed a.
a principal means Of preserving our
civilization, and no department OF the
municipal government is moro literally
and honestly managed than tho edu-
cational.
When a town grows in population in
five years by from half million to three
quarters OF a million, problems OF the
gravest difficulty confront its municipal
government. The population of the
city of New York is now greater than
that Of the whole Union at it's founda-
ton 1t forms great State in itself.
More pupils are enrolled in its public
schools than in those Of any State In
the Union, with five exceptions only.
Massachusetts, for example, ia cele-
brated for the perfection of its school
system, yet in the New York schools
there will be registered this September
a hundred thousand more pupils than
are enrolled in all the public schools OF
that populous State.
