ing to. The Cantata is really
a sacred opera. dealing with
the time Of King Herod and
the birth of Christ. The Choir
consisted of twenty voices and
under the direction OF Prof.
Kirk all parts were ably exc.
cuted. It is a classic affair and
should meet with success
wherever they appear. Mrs
Kinks solo was good and the
duet by Miss Inman and Mr..
Hoffman was equally az good.
Several numbers were applaud
ed until the parts were repeat

Bethlehem Cantata was far
better than we imagined. Come

ssToo lalo."


The summer wind blew softly,
Wide open stood the door
To let the worn old body
Pass through and out once
more;
For the soul had gone before it
To find that distant bourne
From which the weary traveller
Need never more return.
The stalwart son stood gazing
Cpon the placid face,
Which never more should greet
From its accustomed place.
A tremor shook his body
AS tree shakes in a gale,
And meath the suns deep
bronzing
His face was drawn and pale.
"What allied you, dear, to shake
When you looked at father
last?"
Asked the good wife Of her
husband
When the day was overpast.
"His face was sweet and reace.
full;
He blest US ere he died;
WED done our best" "No
more of that"
The farmer roughly cried.
II thought of all the long, long
days
When we'd let him sit alone;
Each of US silent to him
Yes, silent as stone!
Or talking to each other,
Not caring if he heard.
Or answering, if he spoke to US
With a shortly spoken word.
And thought of how he'd thank
as
For every little thing:
If l gave a hand to help him,
How his hand would clasp
and cling!
I'd give the farm-the orchard
The cows, the bees in hive,
Yes, everything that we possess
If he were here, alive.
If l could only open
The door and let him see
The love my heart held fo,
him
Could let him lean on me-!
He never murmured, truly;
But now that he is gone,
/ see we let oar father
Pass down to death alone"

New York, Nov. 30.-While the fur
coated, sable lined Fifth avenue Sat-
urday afternoon crowd were thickest
today, handsomely dressed women halt
ed and rich brokers slowed down their
automobiles to watch curiously a
crowd Of a thousand shabbily dressed
men parade down that thoroughfare Of
wealth, singing the Marseillaise in
three languages.
Arm in arm, in the center of the
crowd, marched two men, Joseph j.

from acquittal from charge of mur-
der by Massachusetts jury. and Will

Men, women and children workers
flung themselves upon Ettor to con-

required all of his strength to keep
the enthusiasts from carrying Ettor
away bodily.

! Ettor on the arrival here, and the men
marched down the avenue to Union
square, where Ettor made two brief
speeches, one in English and another In
Italian.
Thousands heard him.

1T is said that l failed to show a
spirit of gratitude to the courts of
Massachusetts for my acquittal, and
that am not appreciative," said Ettor,
MY reply is that l owe my life to
only one crowd of people in this world
namely, the men, women and chill
dren who dream, hope and aspire as
do. l have no one to thank for my
liberty but the working class. 1t Is
only because the women and children
of the working class took the rings

London, Nov. 30.-Assurances that
Turkey and the Balkan allies will sign

development calculated to improve re-

1t was realized that with the restora-
tion of peace in the Balkans the ques-
tion of each interests claim in Euro
pran peace will become pressing Still,
there will be some degree of certainty
concerning the situation. The vague
nrss of the outlook during the past few
weeks has worried every one and auX-
iety has made the opposing groups
quarrelsome.
Holiday business has suffered
throughout Europe as a result of the
war scare. In the Balkan states this
was to be expected with war actually
on. In Austria, however, Servia was
blamed for it and the irritation felt by
merchants who, with heavy Christmas
stocks on hand and no customers, faced
ruin, seriously aggravated the situation
Russia has suffered in this way nearly
as seriously as Austria and the damage
to German trade was ako considerable
So complete was the business disorgan-
ization that there have already been
many failures and a perfect epidemic of
them was expected when the stricken
traders bills fall due the first of the
