MUSIC IN IRELAND.
Reports of Progress Not Very En-
couraging.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, November 4.-Speaking at the
annual meeting of the Fels-Cecil. the Rev.
DR.. Mahaffy said that the report of the So
ciety on the progress of music in Ireland
was not SO encouraging as 1t ought to be-
Their first difficulty was the fact that the
Irish were really not a musical nation.
When they went into the country they
never heard national music or any other
music being sung by the people. AS for
the taste Of the city of Dublin 1T was no.
torious that they could get a much larger
and more enthusiastic audience to listen to
Dalfe's Bohemian Girl than to Wagner
'Meistersinger." He would be met by the
statement that there was in Ireland a
splendid body of national airs and a great
body of melody which was not to be ex-
ceeded by that of any other nation of Eu-
rope. His researches had taught him that
this music was extremely old. that the Gel
tic nation not musical. and that a
great body Of these melodies had come
down from the Celtic inhabitants. the Fir
bolgs the Norsemen who invaded the
country some centuries ago. 1t was true
that in Ireland there was the great body
OF song. but that well had run dry and
they did not find now that passionate love
of music among the Irish people.

Fur-Lined Coat and the Imitation.

From the Providence Journal
The precise and high-priced tailor drew a
chalk picture on the customer who was
trying on" stuck three pins in him and
said
THE most radical change in garments
for gentlemen for winter wear this year
will come In the fur-lined overcoat, We
have been driven to 1t by detachable fur
collar which has made its appearance and
which can be fastened on to the permanent
collar of $40 ready-made topcoat in a way
that will puzzle an expert to detect Its on
and off features. OF course that kills the
fur collar for the rich and 'dressy' gentle
man who has genuine fur coat We shall
make the collar of the expensive coat of
the same material as the cloth OF the Coat,
or of velvet. cut a little wider than the
collar of the ordinary coat.
And muffs will not be sewed on the
sleeves of the first-class fur-lined coat this
season. They were always suggestive of the
crushed tragedian.
How will people know that 'dressy' and
wealthy gentlemen have fur-lined coatsY"
inquired the custodian. anxiously.
They will carry them inside out on their
arms. replied the precise tailor.

CoNv1vIAL DRINKING.
Assigned as Prime Cause for Drunken.

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, November 4.-The startling
statement that drunkenness is not aicoho;-
ism and that it has little to do with the
evils Of intemperance is made by the
Lancet.
Cornwall drinking" the Lancet declares,
sis the ordinary cause of drunkenness. and
If the evils of intemperance are to be COM
batted successfully it is vitality necessary
to recognize the distinction between this
mode of drinking and drinking as an aid
to muscular and nervous effort.
This latter mode is the more common
source OF chronic alcoholism, and the form
which mainly is of grave social signifi-
canoe. Convivial drinking, on the other
hand though 1t causes drunkenness, tends
usually to be intermittent, and 1t is there
fore less likely to cause chronic alcoholism.
The mechanic who gets drunk on pay
day, but who, owing to the circumstances in
which he works. cannot have access to
liquor during the hours of labor, runs little
risk of chronic intoxication, but the dock
laborer who works through the day on re-
peated doses Of four ale even though he
were never to get drunk would be likely
to suffer from alcoholic poisoning and its
attendant evils
I'm this country the maximum preya-
great mining districts, Durham Northum-
berland and South Wales. Yet in these dis
tricts there is no corresponding prevalence
of alcoholic disease the various forms
of delinquency that are supposed to be con-
nected with drunkenness.
Durham Is far and away the most
drunken district in England, but the death
rate from chronic alcoholism aKd liver dis
eases does not exceed that in the other
agricultural counties. 1t is the same in
South Wales.
III we recognize that simple drunkenness
plays but a small part in chronic alcohol
ism, that 1t is not a great factor as a cause
o, disease or crime or the other evils that
give to intemperance the Importance Of
social problem, then" adds the Lancet
I'VE shall not expect overmuch from the
early closing of public houses and from
other needed reforms of this sort.
I'VE may also, perhaps, be led to doubt
whether the policy of sending the convivial
drunk to prison and saddiing the COM
munity with his maintenance is the last
word of wisdom"

But this candle will blaze

AT the root Of ali of the American alarms

not surprising that people should grow

and when they note the coercive influence
that can be thus exercised on the public in
some of the most elemental matters which
concern Its welfare Nor is 1t surprising
that capital so organized and straining to

sense of independence of party. But there
are cases in which even the most 'unalter-

facts The President has. owing TO the
exfgencies of American politics, only about
three working years of power before him

is perhaps the largest and most complex
