PROVISION FOR EX-PRESIDENTS.
Senator Allison Agrees with MIR. Cleveland
on the Subject.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator William b. Allison,
of Iowa. chairman Of the Committee on Appro-
prtations favors action by Congress looking to
the care and support of eX-Presidents OF the
United States. In an interview tonight he re-
ferred recent utterances of former President
Grover Cleveland on the subject and agreed with
him that some provision should be made in this
direction. The matter deserved consideration at
the hands of Congress. he said. and undoubtedly
would receive ii. In the OF Thomas Jefferson,
who died poor, Mr.. Allison said the government
would have done we'll to pay his debts. At pres

WANTS HUGHES AT ALBANY.

7 o the Editor OF
Sir: No one can be more interested In Mr.
IIughess nomination than his friends upstate. with
all regard his strong support in greater New
in other states 1t is the upstate districts
however that feel the need of Mr.. Hughes most
at the helm in Albany. They understand his ef-
forts and reforms to be genuine, and are almost
certain the great Hughes boom originated from a
source which desires, above other things, to get
the Governor away from Albany, even IL he goes
q Presidential candidate In 1903.
Not one of Mr. Hughes's friends upstate would
be so selfish keep him at Albany If the best
interests were for his candidacy for President in
1905 .ur we believe his work at Albany needs him
there until il is completed. He has begun a Work
that we can ill afford to leave for some one less
experienced finish in the several departments,
and after this done his candidacy in 1872 would
come with better feeling TO a great many OF New
York's citizens in accord with his efforts and the
party.
We need a President who Is of Mr.. Hughes's
type and character, but We need Mr.. Hughes at
Albany until the work he has begun is finished

MUSIC.
Concert of the Nesc York ymphony
SOcietY.

AS II to make good the claim that there was
naught of frivolity in the concerts of the New
York Symphony Society, Mr. Walter Damrosch
arranged programme for his eighth subscription
afternoon meeting in Carnegie Hall yesterday cal
culated to test the taste and endurance OF the
most Injured patron of high class orchestral music
First there came the symphony which List called
"A Faust Symphony" (as Wagner called his over
ture on the same subject "A Faust Overture'D;
then Brahms's Rhapsody for alto voice, male
chorus and orchestra on text from Goethes
Journey in the Hartz Mountains, compositon
which. though ranked high among Brahmss works,
makes little popular appeal, and therefore is sell
dom performed. In this piece Nine. Schumann-
Heink sang the solo, and the Schubert Glee Cluo
of Jersey City, Elliot Schenck, director, which had
already taken part, with Mr.. Paul Dufault, IN 'he
chorus mysticus of LISTS symphony. the cnoral
part. Two movements from the concerto for TWO
choirs of wind instruments and a band of strings
by Handel the scene and air "Gerechter Gott!
from Wagners "Rienzi, sung by Nine. Scnu-
mann-Heink: the warning song and love music
adapted for concert performance from the second
act of Tristan und Isolde by Mr.. Damrosch,
and the prelude TO die Meistersinger" made up
the rest of the list 1t will be seen that Nine.
Schumann- Heink bore the brunt OF the afternoons
work and it therefore especially agreeable
to find her in good voice and imbued with n re
dignifed artistic spirit than she is inclined to
show her concert tours. 4 few slips from just
intonation and occasional tendency TO exag-
gerate the pathos of the music We're all the Of
fences that could correctly be charged up against
her; and for th she made amends by the splen-
did opulence of =. : voice and the generosity with
which she threw herself into her large task The
labors which Mr. Damrosch asked his musicians
to perform the most strenuous that he has
demanded of them this season, but they were ad-
mirably performed.
The orchestra is going West concert
tour, and the next Sunday afternoon concert Will
take place January &c. For the concert on Feb
Tuary Mr. Damrosch promises the music of
Tschaikowsky's opera Eugene Onegin.' with the
principal part in the hands of Emilio de Cogorza.
Then will follow the series of Beethoven Perform
ances. which VIII reach their climax in the Bene-
dictus' from the great Mass in D and the choral
symphony in d minor. For these concerts there
will be special 81 ulscrpton.
