DR.. KARL MUCK IN
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Washington season Of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra had a brilliant
close yesterday afternoon in the Ma
uonal Theater, as il had a brilliant
opening in November, both under the
baton Of DR.. Karl Muck, Of the Royal
Opera Of Berlin. who was loaned to the
Boston Orchestra for this season.
DR.. Muck has done with the orchestra
what none OF his predecessors have
done He has infused into Il the only
thing it lacked-warm temperament
and sacrificed none OF its perfection OF
ensemble playing. He has also taught
. Washington audiences to enjoy a pro-
gram Of orchestra music without the di-
version and attraction Of a -solCist. He
! has given us two such programs. both
Of which we're entirely appreciated by
the audiences which filed the house
Washington Showed Appreciation.
This dispels the oft-repeated accusa-
tion that Washington has no apprecia-
tion for music Of the highest type DIT
Muck's magnetism and personality were
felt keenly by both audience and play
ers, which made II possible for him to
hold the undivided attention Of these
large audiences from the beginning 10
the end Of the programs.
DR.. Muck's program yesterday WAS a
characteristic one, and included the
Berlioz overture. The Roman Carni-
val;' 'Liszt's Episode No. ,. from
Lenau's Faust" and the Sixth Sym
phony of TschaikowSky. The LisZt
number was a gem, and was eXquisitely
performed, with no predominance OF
anything, and the most perfectly
wrought out crcsendOs and CllmaXes.
TschaikOwsky's Last Work.
The piece de resistance Of the after
noon was, OF course, the symphony.
This was given with something less OF
the usual perfection Of finish in the
first movement. but with so much of
dramatic fire and warmth OF color that
it could easily be forgiven. This last
work Of TschalkOwsIly. completed so
soon before mis- uGtlmely death. is as
full of tragedy rs was his death. and
seems almost forecast OF that sad
end. Particularly is this noticeable In
the last movement and the tragic end
ing OF the work, which almost deD!cts
the last few gasps of humanity 1t is
sincerely TO be hoped the present pros
pect of having DR.. Muck again next
year will develop into a reality

THE STORY.

I T was the proudest moment of Alb
imelech's life. The ambitious
dream of the years before had been
realized. and there he stood, elated
but imperious, before the people Of
Shechem, their acknowledged king.
The sun shone in his strength and
glory, and nature all about seemed
smiling In silent tribute as the sol.
emn procession of the priests OF Baal
had set forth from the temple that
morning and proceeded to the great
oak that stood like giant sentry
upon the knoll just outside the town.
There the priests had chanted their
invocations and had spoken the
words that proclaimed ADimelech
king, at the same time placing upon
him the magnificent and costly ephod
which years before had been made by
Gideon, the father of Abimelech and
which up to the present time had
been treasured in the house of Gideon.
Suddenly as the procession enters
the town voice rings out from the
heights above overlooking the city.

have a striking Illustration Of
the evils resultant from the
poiygamous marriage practices
which had grown up In Israel
through the communicating In
fiuences of the heather nations

Envy, Jealousy, hatred found

the awful crime which the vii

but the natural fruitase Of such

the sons Of different mothers
) should be at variance with one
another; especially so with Alb
imelech, who was evidently
looked down upon and desplsed
by the other 70 sons whose
mothers walked In a higher so
cial and moral sphere than did
the mother Of the former.
How much Of the evil Of the
) world enters through the door
Of the home. n Its atmosphere

sacred relationship of husband

II the social and business cares

the home life, what can be ex-
pected of the young men and

In such homes?

home life becomes tainted
with moral decay and ire
iigion.
. Again In this story of Ablne-
Iech we find illustration Of the
. inevitable outworking Of every
evil life. Evil may seem to
. flourish like a green bay tree
for a time, but never since the
world began has evil been able
to escape its final doom. Not
! a history Of nation or individual
but forcibIy emphasizes the
truth Of the scriptural decIara-
tion: Whatsoever a man SOW
eth that shall he also reap"
AblmeIech planned and plot
ted In the narrowness of his
own evil heart, his vision did
not reach beyond the present
advantage, his ambition grasped
a fleeting power and glory, with
never thought Of what lay be-
yond. He began with the sword
. and he died by the sword. He
left the true God out Of his
. reckoning, and sped on the
way to destruction. The cry Of
lothian from Mount Gerizim
against the evil course Of Alb
; imelech comes ringing down
the ages as Gods unaIterable
} judgment upon evil. For the
AbimeIechs Of evil and those
who make alliance with them
there can be but one warning
note Of Judgment. Fire shall
come out from AbimeIech and
devour the men Of Shechem,
and fire will come out of the
house Of Shechem and devour
AbimeIech. Evil is seIf-destruc-

feeds on elements that event

court He quoted prominent member of the med
ical profession as declaring that experts are con-
scious that the public regards their opinions as
having been purchased by the side for which they
have been summoned, and that neither the court
jury gives them the credit OF being sincere and
unbiased.
Mr.. Southard believes this matter touches the
honor of the medical profession, and he thinks that
profession ought take steps to change the meth
cd of selecting experts. The plan he suggests is
certainly simple and would seem to eliminate the
idea of bias in the matter of professional testimony
He proposes that in cases in which expert tcs-
tmony is desired the experts be agreed upon by the
contending parties and approved by the trial JUS
tce In the event of failure to agree he would have
the selection made by the justice. Compensation
for experts, he suggests, should be determined by
the courts in the same manner as is now provided
for the payment Of masters and auditors.
There is much merit in the plan Mr.. Southard
proposes, and if it could be put in operation it
would probably result in marked lessening of the
number of experts called as witnesses and in a
corresponding increase of confidence in the testi-
mony of those who give testimony.

TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.

The board of aldermen yesterday concurred
with the council In refusing the petition of the
Home Telephone company for permission TO do
business in this city and in granting the Providence
Telephone company an exclusive franchise for six
years.
1t can hardly be said this action was unexpect-
ed in view of the very pronounced vote in the COM
mon council and the known attitude toward the
proposition of several members of the board Of al
dermen. The question invoved.i is difficult one to
solve and one on which there can be an honest diff
ference of opinion.
The city council appears to believe the commu-
nifty will be better served by company enjoying a
monopoly for short term than by permitting a
competing company to enter the field. Material ad-
vantages will come to the users OF telephones and
to the city in the way of increased revenue if the
proposed exclusive franchise is finally approved.
There is no doubt on that point but exclusive fran
chises are not reshed by the people, and their sem
tment on the matter may have something to do in
determining Mayor McCarthy's action in the matter
of approval or dsapproval.

JAPANESE JINGOES

countries, seems to grow In volume ac-
cording TO the distance. 1t Is very much
like the foreign regulations some OF our
politicians suddenly acquire when the ca
BILE ehappens to carry their names. The
electric wires make a good megaphone'
The other day Count Okuma was rep
resented at Toxic as laundering against
the United States because OF the last
Japanese incident In San Francisco. He
personally assured the World that his In
tentions were entirely pacific. the Japan
ese ambassador at Washington quietiy
remarked that Count Okuma Is private
citizen, and Viscdunt Hayashi the for
eign minister, informed the elder states
man that the last San Francisco incident
did not deserve diplomatic attention.
Then Count Itagah was quoted In TO-
kio as declaring that hundreds or war
ships should be assembled in Toxic bay
and that Jauan should confront America
in the attitude of being ready TO meet the
Americans in abttle forthwith If they re-
feet Japans Just demands. Count ltagaki,
like Count Okuma, Is also a private cltl-
zen and without official responsibility;
but when asked by the World IL ne was
correctly quoted, he replies without the
least show of belligerency that there Is
i'no room 10 doubt that America Will be

CLEARING THE WAY.

ANY one of the three reasons Colonel Colt gives
m his letter would be sufficient to justify him in his
withdrawal from the contest for the United States
senatorship He does not desire to prolong the fac
tonal fight in his party by continuing his candi-
Aacy his business associates, he says, advise him
against further effort toward securing election
while his health is such that he could not with pru-
dence engage in the work of another campaign.
This is frank and straightforward decara-
tion the sincerity of which there Is no apparent
reason to doubt. 1t goes far toward helping the
leaders of the Republican party out of the most
rious difficulty with which they called
upon to deal. and it opens the way for a fair and
square decision by the people of the state to their
preference in the matter of senatorial representa-
tion.
If not by direct statement, at least by Inference,
the supporters of former Senator Wetmore have
given the impression that he was ready to withdraw
from the contest providing Colonel Colt would re-
tire Colonel Colt has withdrawn. Will Mr. Wet
more do likewise? Obviously if the statements
made by his supporters during the long-continued
strife were sincere, he can do nothing else. If he
presses his candidacy further it will be only be-
cause his personal ambition overnasters his judg
ment and his sense of political propriety
With both Colt and Wetmore out of the race,
the Republican party ought to see the wisdom of
naming senatorial candidate early enough in the
campaign to give the people of the state an oppor-
tunity to Judge his merits and qualifications in
comparison with those of Colonel Goddard, the
nominee of the reform forces of Rhode Island.
The Democrats and Independents will well
come a straightforward contest on this senatorial
ISSUE because they are confident majority of the
people of the commonwealth will give their support
to Colonel Goddard, for the reason that he stands
for those principles of representative government
and honest political methods which have been long
unknown here on account of the dominance of mis-
chievous and malign political machine.

Even thus early in its deliberations it becomes
evident that The Hague peace congress will take
no definite or effective action in the direction Of
the limiting of ornaments. In this connection,
however it is well to remember that the Liberal
ministry of Great Britain, even at the hazard of
making itself unpopular, threw the weight of its
influence on the side of limitation.
1t may be that the Campbell -Bannerman cab
met believed from the outset that nothing effective
could be done by the congress in the matter of ar
rnainent limitation, but even though that be true,
it is entitled to the credit of having honestly en-
deavored to secure discussion of subject which
in the present temper of civilized nations can have
only the effect of increasing sentiment against bur-
dening peaceful industry with the costly outfits for
war

REGISTER AT ONCE.

Tomorrow will be the last Saturday save one
on which the city hall will be open for registration
purposes. 1t is the old story of thousands Of
men not registered who might have their names
upon the books were reasonable facilities afforded
thern-that is, if the members of the board of can
vassers and registration visited the different Sec
tions Of the city as is done by town and city clerks
in other places in this state
1t is highly important therefore, that as many
citizens as possibly can do so should go to
the city hall between 9 and p. m tomorrow.
Next week will be the final one for registra-
ton and the office of the board of canvassers and
registration will be open the last three nights until
o D. m Present indications are that there will be
heavy enrolment owing to the great interest taken
by citizens in the candidacy of Col Goddard for the
United States senatorship and in the cause of re-
form. There is no doubt the Republican party, not
withstanding the retirement of Col. Colt, remains
much divided, and there is, therefore, the
greater reason for every Democrat and Independent
qualifying himself to strike telling blow in the
contest next November for the restoration Of repre-
sentative government. Delays arc dangerous and
any citizen who spare the time tomorrow to
register should do so in his own interest and in the
interest of real representative government.
