WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF THE WEEK.
Hughes sits Up and Takes Notice

Hughes Sits Up and Takes Notice.
1t is clear that Governor Hughes of New
York is on the point of abandoning his
careless attitude toward the Republican
presidential nomination and will shortly
declare himself as a candidate. He has
replied to the Republican club of the city
of New York, which recently endorsed
him, thanking it for the consideration,
and in answer to the committees inquiry
has fixed Friday of next week as the time
when he will meet the club and make a
definite statement as to his attitude. In
his letter, after saying that he will not
allow other considerations to interfere
with or prejudice his conduct as governor
of New York, he says he cannot fail to
recognize the high honor of tie nomina-
tion, or the obligation of service it would
impose. Governor Hughes utterance next
week Friday evening will be awaited
with interest, as it is expected to out
Governor Hughes has practically ac-
cepted an invitation to attend and ad-
dress meeting of the alumni of Brown
university, his alma mater, at Boston the
latter part of this month or first of Feb
ruary. This is departure from his rule
OF not going outside New York to speak,
and, taken with other things, is accepted
as evidence that Hughes is favorabIy dis
posed toward the movement to nomi-
nate him for the presidency. The Re-
publican city committee, at a stormy
meeting, deferred action on the Hughes
endorsement in a way to show that
Hughes is not the choice of that organiza-
tion. Hughes viii not, it is stated, ac-
cept denomination to the governorship
of New York

With this-"It's making lots OF talk"
And what is talk The breath from lungs
Exhaled by wretched chunks OF clay
Instead of tails, possessing tongues
They love to wag the fivelong day,
And scare the foolish by the shock
OF this-"Its making lots of talk

Victor and his Royal Venetian band
played exquisite music to a scant hundred
in Chandler Music hall Monday night,
but in the afternoon had a more cheerful
reception from a matinee audience of be-
tween two and three hundred. II II
greatly to the credit of the band that the
dispiriting size of the house was not al
lowed to affect its work, and Victor and
his company could be as intent on the ar
tistic rendering OF composition as
though even the walls had ears.
The, overture from William Tell and
the sextette from Lucia DeLsmmermoor,
heard in last seasons program by this
band, were as beautiful as ever, and the
grand musical climaxes had the same
powerful effect. Those bursts OF melody
in which Lutte, harp, sack but and dulci-
mer, or their modern equivalents, seem to
vie with each other in riot of sound, are
rather characteristic of Victor's concerts
and create sort of grand musical tenn
pest that thrills even the imagination.
The soloist, Miss Madeline Lourie, was
a very sweet singer and SO fsvorabIy re-
ceived that she was obliged to double the
number of her selections.
The band spent Sunday in town and
that evening consented to play at the
evening meeting in Bethany church.
Lyman II. Howe's moving pictures at
Chandler Music hall last night justified
their reputation of being the best. Clear
and with the minimum of flicker, they
depicted the hundred wagging tails of a
pack of pointers in the kennels or bark
ing at the heels of q desperate stag, each
wag no doubt being q matter OF special
representation, and the whole effect gave
spectators the impression of following the
chase more actively than from the van
tage point Of an opera house chair.
Victoria falls, the Zambesi river and
the diamond mines OF Africa permitted a
very satisfactory glimpse into Africa, and
the spice OF fun was not wanting in pic
lures humorous rather than farcical. Mr..
Howe is particularly skilful in deepening
the illusion Of his pictures by suggestive
ly accompanying sounds-the barking of
dogs. the swish of water, the clatter OF
the hoofs or the report of guns and blasts,
all precisely timed to strike the ear at the
right moment.
Though the hall was not filed, there
were probably about 400 present and. in
popular phrase, "glad they were there. {"
