a quartet in F major by Haydn at the close Of the
programme. and again made the old revelation
that no matter what place in concert scheme is

and puissant a he century ago. Last night
a group OF songs. two by Brahms, one by Rubin

MUSIC
MP. MAHLER,s THIRD CONCERT.

Nj MahIer conducted the sixth of this seasons
Sunday series OF concerts by the symphony So
CIety in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon The
programme consisted Of two Overtures and sym
phony and the music was played without the Gus
tomary intermisson before the more important
numbers.
Without notice TO the public, except the house
bill, the symphony had been changed from Beetho-
vsn's Seventh % the same composers F1fth-proo-
ably because Mr.. Mailer fancied that since Miss
Duncan has taken TO dancing the i major SYM
phony. rather dancing 70 its music more respect
could be shown 10 the composer by the production
OF a work which has not yet been enlisted in the
service Of Terpsichore. The overtures were the
one which Wagner carefully designated 'one to
Faust c'Eine Faust Overture'p and that TO
Weber's "Oberon'
Without presuming to descant in any way by the
remark upon the manner il which the music Of
the concert played. il may be said that the
most remarkable feature Of the afternoon was the
enthusiasm which greeted Mr. Mailer ana al that
he did. Applause almost frenetic filed all the
pauses and endured a long time after the concert
over. As for the Interpretation which the
compositions received, reviewer, mindful Of an
obvious play upon words which is more effective
in German than English. might say that it vas
more melting and exciting than satisfying. There
vas more Crudeuess and tmpurtty Of intonation In
the orchestra than usual and less precision OF at
tack and utteranCe; but it was not always plain
that this the fault Of the players. Mr.. Mailer
conducted at times a. If he were in a highly ner-
and such pace as he set in the allegro
Of the "Oberon overture, for instance. seemed 10
put clarity and reposefulness out Of the question
There temptations a-plenty 10 carp with feat
ures OF his readings, but they were easily put
aside in consideration Of the fact that there was
always something first TO starue. then 10 fascnats
and hold the interest. Perhaps the most notable
Of these the building up of the climax when
comes with the entrance of the finale That, in
deed made the old story sound plausible of how
at a Conservatoire concert in the Habeneck days
one OF Napoleon's veterans was startled by that
tonal thunderclap into throwing his cap into the
air and shouting 'Vive Empereur.

tercessory prayer, and some of these
girls who did not understand English
were praying in English: some of the
girls who did not understand Greek
were praying in Greek; some of them
were praying in Hebrew; some them
were praying in tongues that no man

The above journel further quotes
Mr.. Ellis as suggesting that God Is
revealing himself to the poor and the
ignorant and the heather as he re-
vealed himself on the day of Pente-
cost" This. however, seems to stagger
The Presbyterian Standard, which goes
on to say:
1T was expected of Mr.. Ellis that
he would tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing; but the truth 1t
has been assumed that in all of his
splendid addresses he was speaking
without fear or favor. and giving facts
and impressions free from the colorings
Of prejudice against, or Partially for
the cause of missions. This assump-
ton of his calm. judicial temper has
contributed no little to the profound
impression which he has made. His
hearers and readers have not felt called
upon to make any allowance for the
bias of an advocate. or the enthusiasm
of a devotee. From man to whom
has been accorded such dispassion-
ate judgment the words that we have
quoted are surprising, to say the least
of it.
Surely this is remarkable. While
returned missionaries have been re-
hearsing to US the glory of Gods Won
derful works among the heather, not
one of them, in the ardor of his loftiest
enthusiasm has suggested any recur-
renee of the scenes Of Pentecost. 1t
remained for this unbiased witness,
sent forth by a relentless press to spy
out and report unvarnished facts to
bring back a story far surprising in its
marvel anything that we have hither-
to heard, He has laid the missionaries
in the shade, and made demand on
our faith beyond anything that we
have vet been asked to believe"

EoRERunNERs OF A CEMENT AGE.

The cement users have held a con-
vention in Des Moines this week. Com
paratively speaking they are a new
species but the future is destined to
give them front rank among the class
es that hold conventions in this coun-
try. Already the consumption of ce-
ment in the United States has reached
one barrel per year for every two in
habitants, men, women and children or
two sacks per capita and ten sacks per
family. AS pine timber fast approach
es the vanishing point and lumber
prices soar among the clouds, the peo-
ple have been compelled to turn to &C.
ment.
No longer do we think Of boards or
brick for a sidewalk. a house is no
longer modern without cement for cell
lar floors. Even barns and hog houses
must now have their floors Of cement.
Foundations are being made Of con-
crete instead of stone, railroad bridges
are being built of concrete instead of
steel, and county supervisors will soon
be building highway bridges of con-
crete in place Of steel. Factory build
ings are being built of re-enforced con-
crete. Railroad ties, fence posts, tele-
graph poles, and dock piling are now
made of cement in forms. Dams,
breakwaters and canal locks are made
of concrete Drain tile are now made
of cement because water will seep thru
their porous walls even when the
