Cantata.

The large audience, assembled at the

the Cantata, 1.-The Old and New Year.
were enthusiastic in their praise of the
performance which was given by the
young people of Trinity parish, under the
auspices of the Ladies' Association and
The Rector's Aid Society.
The Old Year, admirably impersenated
by Mr. Guy Clagett, was seated in the
centre OF the stage in the first act, his
white locks and trembling voice indicated
that his reign was nearly over. He was
surrounded by the tour seasons, each ap-
propriatelv dressed, Miss Gertrude Gran
ford as Winter, Miss Marie Hill as Spring,
Miss Maud Martin as Summer and Miss
Ella Redmiles as Autumn who in turn
sung a sole to Old Year, while the Months,
Weeks and Hours, represented by the
girls and boys in pleasing costumes in
the rear of the stage joined in the beautl-
full Choruses. The grouping and stage
effect of all those sweet. young faces was
most attractive and the spectacular tab
leau at the close of the first and second
acts were greatly improved by the use OF
celored lights,
During the arrangement Of the tab
leau, The Grave Digger, Mr.. c. G. Gran

The Fate of Cities.

Some ancient cities have disappear
ed. The archaeologist digs through the
sands of the desert, the accumulations
of vegetable mold and the debris of
human habitation in search for the
palaces of great kings, the markets Of
wealthy traders and the homes of a
once numerous people. The massacres
of ancient warfare may explain some
of these dead and buried cities. The
inability of people in early history to
deal with the sanitary problems Of a
congested population may have been q
contributing cause to their destruction.
Cities may have died because their
people could not live. But In most
cases change in the routes of COM
merce will be found to have diverted
the stream of nourishment from a city
and left it to die of starvation. Yet
the Eternal City and Athens, Byzan-
tium, Jerusalem, Antioch and Damas-
Gus illustrate the tenacity Of munich
pal vitality, even though a long sue
cession of centuries brings great
changes in the methods and subjects
and courses of traffic.-Philadelp

REPRESENTATIVE Gardner, of the Second
New Jersey District, chairman of the
House Committee on Labor, has made 8
favorable report on bill providing that
all prison-made goods shall come under
the operation of the laws of the State In
which they are offered for sale, no matter
where they originated.
New Jersey led off about twenty-five
years ago with law restricting the manu-
facture of goods In State prison by con.
vict labor in order to protect the products
of free labor. Other States afterward
passed similar laws. But State cannot
prevent the sale within its limits of goods
made by contract prison labor In States
that have no restrictive laws, and hence
the bill reported by Mr.. Gardner
The New York Sun quotes from an un.
printed report of the Bureau of Labor tc
show that in some trades the prisons have
obtained practical control of the field
The whip and whiplash trade, except in
the buggy whip branch, has been almost
entirely abandoned to the prisons Oh
saddle trees convicts make 80 per cent
Ninety-nine per cent. of the cheapest
grades of kettles, skillets and other store
hollowware are convict made; also in fur

public in the States of their origin, anc
$6,513, 664 were used in public institutions

The effect of this, the House committee
declares in its report, is to drive long es
tablished Industries out of business. Ii

A queer instance of the working of
Herbert Spencer's mind is mentioned
by the two sisters In whose household
he lived. He came to the table one day
absorbed in thinking about some pho
tographs of the nebulae he had just
received:
"As he rose from his chair he stood
for minute gazing with cleaning eyes
into the distance, and then muttered in
disjointed fashion, as If half to him.
self, words to this effect: Thirty mil
lions of suns, each probably having its
own system, and supposing them each
to be the size of pins head they are
fifty miles apartl What does it all
meanY And then, without a pause
and only change of voice, The fluff
still comes out of that cushion, you
know as with a wave of his small,
thin hand toward it he passed rapidly
out of the room, leaving us both be-
wildered by the quickness with which
his mind worked"

sympathy for the Muth family in Phil

But yesterday afternoon Captain Don.

that his parents were wealthy and would
pay large ransom. There is general re-
joicing at the termination of this affair
and the detective force of Philadelphia
are receiving the congratulations and
praise that are justly due them.
