THE TREND OF THINGS.
Christmas Music.

Christmas music has radically changed
within the last two or three years, and
the overturn in America within the past
ten years has been, it is said, greater
than the most advanced musical optimlsts
dreamed. The change has been for what
musicians call the better and has been
due, in no small measure, to the infiu-
enCe of the American Guild of Organists.
Free recitaIs given in many cities by
guild members have educated the public
taste, and examinations for associates and
felIowships in the guild have been of so
high grade that they have affected

throughout the year.
This year A Sunday and Christmas COM
ing a day apart has had the effect, so
music dealers say, of pushing out the an
them from the public worship of the
church itself and CTOwding in the carol.
Organsts in New York and Boston re-
port that this tendency has been OBJ
served for Years, and that this year, ow-
ing to the dates mentioned, has merely
emphasized and helped on the change.
Organists of the standing of Carl, Hall,
and others report that the day of the
Old-fashioned anthem is about over, and
that the carol is superseding it. Some
carols are new, but even they initiate the

ton. and to some extent in Baltimore and
Washington, is the singing of carols in
the languages IN which written. Former
ly words of carols were translated into
English. but tnis Christmas as not here

likely to hear German and Italian at any
rate The French and Welsh languages

in Protestant churches, these have been

San Francisco. March 2S.-In an eff

companion of Dr. L. c. Chisholm,

Powell, Sheriff Smith of Sonoma coun-
ty today sent a communication to the
authorities of Seymour, Mo-, asking

Blanche Samuels was the maiden name

FIXING THE BLAME.
Officials Are Seeking to Place Respon-
sibility for Saturdays Fire.

New York, March 2S.-Sifting down
the great mass of testimony at their
disposal city and county officials hoped
today to draw closer to the source of
responsibility for Saturdays factory
fire horror in which 142 persons lost
their lives.
Investigations started yesterday by
Fire Marshal Beers and District At
torney Whitman were continued and
in other official quarters the effort
to place the blame was kept up with
undiminished vigor. While officialdom
was struggling with the questions
which are being asked as to the under
lying causes of the disaster. the
mournful task of burying the dead was
continued. Added to the fifty funerals
of yesterday many more were held to-
day. There remain 20 bodies, SO bad
" burned that Identification seems i'm
probable.
Aside from the probe into the
causes of the disaster, architects and
fire experts are engaged today in ex-
animation of existing fire laws with
view to legislation for prevention Of
further horrors.
