WORLDS CITIES HARD TO KILL.
Rome Twice Burned, Six Times
Starved-Paris' Eight Sieges.

Few of the worlds great cities have
not faced, at one time or another to-
tai destruction. But a city is hard to
kill
Take Rome, for instance. She has
been swept by pestilence no fewer
than ten times She has been twice
burned and six times driven to submis-
sion by starvation. Perhaps 1t is on
account Of her great vitality that she
is called the Eternal city.
Paris has gone through eight sieges,
ten famines, two plaques and one fire
which devastated 1t.
Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
plaques and five sieges. In addition,
she has been ruled by monarchs who
were worse than a plague. Yet Con-
stantinople still flourishes. ~

AT 1885 the vice-president will direct

order of the senate for the Inauguration.
President-elect Taft and other dis
tinguished guests on the floor OF the
senate will occupy about fifteen minutes
in reaching the inaugural stand, but
probably half an hour will be consumed
by the occupants of the galleries in
reaching the stand. According to est-

take the oath of office at about 10 pm.
and that his speech will require about
thirty minutes. ~

CARROLL 'WRIoHT's JEST.

CLARK collsas Prssldsnt Used Mathe's
MATES to End Friction In 4 Choir.
When Colonel Carroll D. Wright
president of Clark college at Worces'
ter. Mass and former United States
labor commissioner, was a young man
he was appointed by the church with
which he was connected chairman OF
the committee on music. He was no
musician. but he was mathematician,
and he used mathematics to direct
music.
he promptly made three Of the com.
mittee members Of the quartet. That
removed the possibility Of friction pe-
tween the committee and the choir
He soon found, however, that there
was some feeling between the con
tralto and the soprano singer. Eltner
was likely to exhibit sensitiveness II
the other seemed to be assigned to
solos the more frequently or more
prominently.
When Easter Sunday came it so hap
pened that the anthem which had been
selected as suitable for the occasion
contained very long soprano solos.
The contralto soloist was plainly dis
concerted. Noting this, the chair
man of the music committee quietly
WHISPERED to her that he had made
an accurate measurement of the num-
Der Of inches Of the soprano part ana
that he would see to 1t before the
month was out that anthems were Sc
lected which not only harmonized with
the religious needs Of the OCCASION
but afforded an equal number OF inches
Of contralto solo. II am not much OF
a musician" Mr.. Wright is said to
have added. "but I am great on fig
ures. You can trust me to equallze
the account to the eighth Of an inch"
This piece Of waggishness, which
naturally put an end to friction IN the
choir, furnished a key to Colonel
wright's success in life. This choir
incident Of his youth epitomizes big
methods in handling all questions.
