The MESSIAH
League
Continued from First Page)

In Every Valley" was beyond any
tenor who has sung here in recent
years, and won applause at every
appearance
The work of Harmonic is constantly
improving, and except for slight
weakness ON the part of the altos
was excellent The soloists remark
ed on the superior quality Of the
work, and said that they had often
heard more pretentous choruses fail
to do so well. The "Hallelujah Cho-
rus and worthy Is The Lamb" show
ed the chorus at its BEST and were
in every way worthy of praise.
The increasing accuracy and strength
Of the orchestra at these concerts is
source of great pleasure, and adds
more than little to the performance
Mr.. Taylor's rendering OF the Pas
toral Symphony on the organ pre-
scented to the Berea audience a new
and delightful feature of the Messiah.
and was In itself one of the most
enjoyable parts of the programme.
Miss Campbell's accompaniment too,
was, as every one expected 1t TO be,
OF the best. Berea has learned to ex-
pect so much from her that 1t will
not be surprised at any excellence
she shows, but on this occasion she
really seemed to surpass herself. No
small part OF the success of the even
ing was due to her.
/ II is pleasing to be able to report
that the audience was more worthy
of this performance than has been the
| the case at any previous Christmas.
Fully a thousand people heard the
music, and the increasing attention
and appreciation showed how Berea's
musical education is progressing. The
1 fund pledged by the citizens TO make
good the cost of the concert viii

tho it has been greatly appreciated
source of strength and comfort &c
the management. While the audience
viii not entirely pay the cost of the
performance. there are some funds
ia the treasury of Harmonic which
viii probably make up the deficit
The smallness of this deficit Il
largely due to the kindness of III,
solodsts. who gave their services anC
splendid voices, a kindness for which
we are glad to be able TO assur,
them, Berea appreciates highly.

LIQUOR LIE NAILED.
Somerset, KY, Dec. 10, 90

Somerset, KY, Dec. 10. %
To the Editor of the Evening Post:
Dear Sir-The business men Of Som
erset respectfully ask you to publish the
facts in regard to our present local
option election.
In the first place the majority was
81 mot so wet. Secondly, the city
has voted dry at least twice, and wet
once before this time. Thirdly, the
vote for a wet town was not by a ma
iority OF the business, as 70 per cent
OF the business men reside In the
First and Second wards, which togeth-
er gave a dry vote OF PIP and a wet
of 126.
The negro voters, of whom we
have 300 in the city, voted 30 per
cent wet.
The nonresident voters, or In other
words, single men who work at the
railroad shops and are here today and
gone tomorrow, almost all voted wet
In other words over so per cent OF the
wet vote pays no property tax at
all and over rs per cent no poll tax
even.
Our police court record shows that
with, as he says. hundreds Of blind
tigers" there have not been over 10
per cent as many arrests for drunk
enness during the three years as there
were while we had nineteen open sa-
looms. When we had nineteen open sa-
looms they We're not regulated, but a
man could get liquor at any time in
the night or on Sunday; and they
sold to minors just the same as to
adults, and to drunkards the same
as to sober men.
The special tax had nothing to do
with the outcome, as most OF the
special tax was paid by people who
voted dry and signers of this state
ment.

WASHINGTON
CONTINUED from Firs, Page

Things do look more hopeful than
they have for some time.
IL is of course certain that Taft
cannot begin to get passed all the
laws that he has asked for. He will
have TO choose a few and center his
force on them. Perhaps he has picked
out the whole list as being all worth
while, and he probably intends 70 get
as many as he can peaceably, and
fight for the rest. II so, the Ameri-
can people will be long time In get
ting information about him on which
to make up their mind as to whether
he is a good successor to Roosevelt.
One thing that Taft has done this
week looks well. He has served not
ice on Cannon that he could not hope
to use the usual pork bar'r' TO help
any of his lame ducks get reelected
Taft does not think we have money
enough for ornamental improve
ments, such as big stone build
ings in little country towns, and orna-
menting muddy creeks with dams and
locks, and so he has announced that
any bill providing for such things
will be promptly and unanimously veto
ed. That means Cannon and Aldrich
have got to hustle and do some pub
lie legislation IL they really want their
friends to greet them in Washington
when the next Congress meets.
The sugar cases are beginning to
attract real interest here since the
conviction of the weighers in Nav
York. 1t is understood that the fell
low that tells the most about who got
the profits of the. stealing, and who
ordered it done, will get the lightest
sentence, and so the officials are
waiting for the information. 1t will
begin coming pretty soon, and then
they will really be in a position to
get the men higher up Some of
these are already finding urgent BUSH
ness calling them abroad. Also, sever
al other sugar companies have been
found TO have stolen from the Custom
by short weight, and have either paid
up, or offered to do so. II is likely
that the investigation and prosecution
will hit not only these sugar companies
but some firm which import other
kinds Of merchandise.

A Cure for All Evils.

In certain parts of Worcestershire
and Stafordshire. in England. the idea
prevails that a silver coin from the
Christmas morning offertory is a SOW
ereign remedy for any III that human
flesh is heir TO. Accordingly, any
householder who happens to have an
ailing child or other person in the
house hies him to the clergyman Of
the parish on Christmas morning, and
asks as a favor a sacrament shilling.
The coin given in exchange has 10 be
obtained by collecting a dozen pennies
from as many different maidens. and
then changing the coppers for a silver
shilling. For this coin the applicant
receives the coveted sacrament shil-
ling, which. on being taken home. Is
hung round the ailing ones neck. and
is popularity supposed to effect a rapid
and complete cure Of the complaint,
no matter what Il may be.
