President Homan, Misunderstanding
 Emmons, the Boston Roosevelt"
 The committee having in charge the arrangements for the Lincoln day dim ner of the Young Mems Republican club is making an effort to get re- sponses in from all those to whom in- vltations have been sent as early as Saturday. The catterer wants to know for how many covers are to be laid, and for this reason an effort is being madeto get the returns in by Satur- day.
 President Franklin L. Homan will be the toastmaster for the dinner which observes the ninety-seventh anniver- sary of the birth of Lincoln, and will make one of those delicious speeches which have attracted attention in the board of aldermen.
 Judge W. H. H. Emmons, who is known as ''the Roosevelt of Boston," promises to givethe club one of his rousing talks, which always provoke applause from audiences which he ad- dresses. Judge Emmons assumged the duties of chairman of the police com mission in Boston under unusual and trying conditions, but he met the emer- gency well, and Governor Bates, who appointed him in the face of strong pressure in favor of other men, has not regetted the selection which he made. Steward Ingham reports a good sale of tickets at the club house, and the committeeis meeting with success from all standpoints

GREAT CAMPANARI SALE.
Seats for Recital Greatly in Demand
 Double Sale To-day Again.

Seats for Recital Greatly in Demand
 Double Sale To-day Again.
 The sale of seats for the Campanari song recital in Woolsey hall tomorrow evening has been the most enthusiastic sale in the record of the series of art it's concerts.
 Both at M. Steinert Sons Co. and at Woolsey hall there were steady streams of buyers, with long waiting lines at different times of the day, the enthusi- asm lasting continuously. Altogether, it was a splendid demonstration, show ing clearly that the engagement of the operatie baritone for a song recital was a popular one.
 Tomorrow the Wooleey hall sale will last from il a. m. to p. m, and from 2 to p. m. At Steinert's the sale will go on unbrokenly all day.
 Plenty of good seats are left in all parts of Woolsey hall, butthey are go- ing fast.
 Campanari will sing at the Metro politan Opera house tonight, and the night after he sings in New Hoven. It was by the merest chance that Dr. Parker secured this much-in-deDiand opera star for recital.
 It is not generally known, perhaps, that Campanari was brought to Amer ica by the management of the Boston Symphony orchestra, where he occupied the chair of solo 'cellist, and also the professorship of the cello in the New England Conservatory of Music i'll Boston. He resigned from both, how ever, after several years, desiring tc devote himself to his vocal art entire ly; and with what splendid results, and with what brilliant success, this great artist and musician appeared in the leading baritone roles at the Metro politan Opera house all who are inter- ested in music and the musical public in general well know. All who have had the good fortune to know him and meet him, admire and love him, by vir- tue of his genial, happy disposition good heart, extremely modest demean- or (so unlike most great singens), al. ways a kind word for everyone, always ready to assist a fellow colleague.

Dean Rogers VIII Preside-COngresS to
 be Urged to Secure International
 Action to Relieve Congo Sufferers.
 Preparations for the mass meeting to be held at s o'clock this evening i'll the United church to consider the barbara ties In the Congo Free State are now complete, and the public is cordially in- vited to attend. Dean Henry Wade Rogers is to preside and the United church quartette is to furnish the mu- sic. The principal speakers will be Rev. J. H. Harris, of England, and Rev. H. L. Johnson, of Boston. Mir Harris, with his wife, resided for years in the Congo and were among the witt nesses examined by the commission ap- pointed by King Leopold when the agi- tation became so intense in Europe that the king was forced to take some ac- tion. The following extracts from Rev. J. H. Harris testimony before the com mission, whose report has recently been made public, will illustrate the awful character of the barbarities perpetrated " the Belgian rubber interests in the 'ongo Free State:
 s'Tl1e woman Baoji, because she wish ed to remain, faithful to her husband, was mutilated. Her footless leg and maimed body testify to the truth of her statement. Her husband told how he was chicotted because he was angry about his wife's mutilation.
 Sixteen Esanger witnesses gave de- tails of how father, mother, son or daughter were killed in cold blood for rubber. The big chief of Bolima placed on the table 11O twigs, each represent ing life for rubber The twigs were of different lengths, representing chiefs, men, women and children. It was horrible story of mutilation, mas sacre and cannibalism. These crimes were committed by those acting under the instructions of white men. The white men, when the fight was over, handed him his corpses and said: Now you will bring in rubber won't you?' to which he replied, Yes The corpses were then cut up and eaten by Mons. Forcie's fighters. A little child was cut in halves and impaled."
 Far away as Is the Congo, it is not so far but what the suffering of its op- pressed people excite the sympathy of the public-spirited residents of our own prosperous city The object of the meeting this evening is to create inter- est in the memorial, now pending in congress, by which our government is urged to secure an international court of inquiry which, it is hoped, may put an end to the barbarities in the mis- named Congo Free State.

In lightness of touch, playful ness of fancy, and certain pleasing addiction to the paradoxical, the two authors, Dr. CroWthers and Dr.. Oliver Wendell Holmes are not unlike" Oth- CT works of Dr. Crowthers are Miss Muffet's Christmas Party" "The End less Life" Qngersoll lectures Harvard, 1905), and "The Pardoner's Wallet" :" very recently issued.

His words are soothing and satisfying, and their charm does not wear away. Dr. Crowthers ap- pearance here as lecturer, will give the many readers of his books and magazine articles the opportunity to see and hear him, and everyone is in- terested in the personality of favor ite author.
