t WAS GOOD TO
SEEELLEN TERRY

Miss Ellen Terry's lecture on
Shakespeare heroines last night
was enjoyed by large audience.
She described this particular lee
ture as that dealing with the pa
thetic heroines, and treated the
characters of Desdamona, Catherin,
Ophelia. Cordelia, Juliet, Cleopatra
and Lady Macbeth, playing brief H.
Illustrative passages from the parts
of several. Appearing upon vel
vet draped stage, in a beautiful
silvery robe and exhibiting much
of the charm and grace of her IA
miliar stage presence, she afford
ed a pleasant relief from the usual
lecture ordeal.
The text Of the. lecture was clear
and illuminating, the comments
vAlnGbleS and the entire discourse
enriched by the great experiences
and solemn associations of a life
time of study and execution in
high dramatic art. 1t would be diff
fcult for anyone long associated
with Henry Irving not to bring into
ones "reminiscences both color and
feeling. And she is equal to the
occasion, as her splendid magma
tion and fine artistic ideals would
suggest.
Her declaration of fondness for
the character of Cordelia, her def
milton of Cleopatra and her opinion
concerning Catherine of Aragon
were of unusual interest. The act
ing of the snatches from Juliet and
Desdamona and Ophelia were
flashes of pure genius. Perhaps the
greatest single thought in the lee
ture was her suggestion that
Shakespeare did not create charac-
tiers In solid material, all white or
all black, but that in the purity
even. of Juliet and Ophelia there
IL shadow, and in the darkness of
even Cleopatra's passion the light
shines tiNoughs~ Again, too, that
Shakespeare was. above all
drafnatist.

NELSON SAYS
There's NO
GRAFT IN DEAL
People Of North Hill Vigor-
ously Pushing Referen-
dunn Campaign.

Councilman Peter Nelson of the
Fifth ward, father of the infamous
sewer deal, against which referen-
dunn has been started, tried last
night to placate the bitter feeling
against the city government by an
appeal to the voters of the upper
end of the Fourth ward, gathered
at the meeting of the North Hill
Improvement club. Mr.. Nelson was
made the target of some very point
ed and direct questions, some of
which he answered directly and
others parted, during the course of
which explanation Mr.. Nelson re-
marked that II the people thought
there was any graft in the under
taking, let them lay 1t before the
grand jury.
The club unanimously voted to
push the referendum against the
sewer grab: also a petition agreeing
to pay no assessments on the work
unless compelled to by court. Five
thousand copies of circular con-
tanning an appeal to the people of
the north hill were ordered dis
tributed.
Tonight the storm will break
around meeting to be held in the
Hamilton school in Kenwood, cor
ner Standard and Wellesley.

A National Hymn Wanted,

General Horatio G. King writes a
very sensible letter to The New York
Herald reviving the question as to the
making of a national hymn, the words
and music Of which shall be American.
My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and the
Star Spangled Banner" he dismisses
as un-American, both tunes being Eng
lish--the one God Save the King" and
the other an ode to Anacreon," writ
ten by the English composer, DR.. Sam
uel Arnold, about the year 1902. "The
Star Spangled Banner" he points out
moreover. embraces so much of the
gamut as to be impracticable for the
Iuncultivated voice. What the country
needs" General King continues, lis a
mastery, dignifed hymn welded to an
original tune; a fine choral such as
the Russian national hymn, the tone
to be simple and in a small compass
Cess than an octave, so that every
body can sing 1t as they now sing
America to the English choral" The
suggestion is added that a national
competition might achieve the desired
result with the necessary proviso that
the judges shall be restricted in their
decision so that the words shall be
worthy OF the great subject and the
music dignified, melodic and easily
within the capacity of the untutored
singer This idea is a rational one, for,
after all, the assumption that ma
tional hymn must be evolved, like the
folksongs, out of the heart of the peo-
Pile, and cannot be made to order is
not justified by historical facts. The
Russian national hymn. than which
there is none finer, was not spon-
taneous evolution. 1t was ordered by
the car, as he would order a case of
wine or new uniform, and the ma
jestic words and sonorous music were
prepared, delivered and paid for on the
spot. The car knew he had at his
command capable poet and capable
composer and he felt satisfied that he
had only to call for an immortal hymn
and his wish would be fulfilled with
neatness and despatch.
The matter of securing an American
hymn may. then, be regarded as de-
lpending on the presence in the coun-
| try OF just such men as the Russian
ruler had at his beck and call when
Russian hymn was needed. II Gem
eral King or any oth.r authority can

Washington Star: A group of law
yers seated on the terrace Of an At
lantic City hotel, talked about the law.
John G.. Johnson" said a Phila-
delphia lawyer, "can be as eloquent
as the best, but eloquence is only
one small part Of his assets. Learn
ing. wit, satire, comedy-it would
take a dictionary to tell the resources
wherewith Mr. Johnson wins-for he
always wins-his cases.
II assisted him once in a case
where his opponent went IN for pa
thos. The man, in an hours speech
shed tears himself, the client he was
pleading for shed tears, and the wit
nesses on his side ostentatiously
squeezed out tear Or two.
But Mr. johnson spoiled all that
pathos by rising and looking about
him with a chuckle. His hands were
thrust deep in his pockets, and he
said:
"Well, gentlemen, You may as well
understand from the start that / am
not going to bore for water"

INAUGURAL CONCERT.
Rive-King Dedicates New Stone Music
Hall--Gave Musical Treat.

Rive King Dedicates New Stone Music
Hall--Gave Musical Treat.
The concert given last night by
Julie Rive-King served two purpose;
1t was the inaugural which was used
to mark the dedication of the beauti-
| fully appointed new Stone Music hall,
and second it was really the opening
of another music season. The occasion
was suspicious and that fact was en-
phasized by the president of the Bush
& Gerts piano company who happened
! to be in the city and attended the
concert. The gentleman paid a high
compliment to Mr.. Stone. He said
the new music hall was the best
| equipped of its size in the United
| States.
Considering there was another
| prominent attraction in the city Rive
King was greeted by goodIy sized
audience which was enthusiastic and
responsive. The great pianist was as
| sisted by Miss Signe Christie, con-
tralto. The latter was accompanied
| by Miss Carol B. Stanley, both ladies
being members of the faculty of Far
go conservatory.
The programme was rendered with
such consummate skill and exquisite
tone production and perfect technic as
to call forth most vigorous applause.
In the List Rhapsodie depth, breadth
and tone produced and marvellous
technic displayed showed her artistic
mastery of even the heaviest compost
tions, and in her arrangement of the
beautiful La Sclntilla and Blonaise
Heroique she displayed a depth of
musical comprehension, temperament
and feeling to a degree that excited
the warmest plaudits. The pianist
opened the concert with her splendid
Interpretation of sonata by Schu-
NOM and in that perfectly won her
hearers.
Miss Christie appeared twice and
for the first she sang a group of four
German songs very acceptably.
Whether it is wise to make an almost
wholly English speaking audience ac-
cept such an infection, so frequently,
remains to be seen. David Bispham
says it is not. In her last group Miss
Christie was little more merciful,
three out of Eve of her songs were in
the English language.

Boston. Sept. 17,-So many protests,
have been received against Cavalieri's

story Of her treatment of Robert Win

the Boston Opera company is said to
be seriously contemplating the cancel

Boston and they are furious at the
way he has been treated One of them,
who is also heavy stakeholder In the
opera company, declared last night
that il Cavalier sang here he would
cancel his subscription.
IT, like all his friends and his family
