HIGH CLASS
Work BY Chorus And Artists 10 The
Coming Concerts

The only hope by which the Mount
Vernon May Festival can be assured
of their perpetuity rests on the con-
tinued maintenance of superior excel
lence in all the musical work they do.
In order to attain this, a highly eff
cient organization is constantly put
ting forth every effort and sparing no
expense. That results have followed
was shown by the high artistic success
of the last January concert. There
has been nothing but praise from
many sources ever since that event
and the impetus to fine work will show
results in the coming May Festival.
Rehearsals of the chorus are being
held twice week and the difficult
work of Elijah" is being mastered III
way that promises beautiful rendi-
tion of this great oratorio on the ey-
ening of the thirteenth. Each artist
has been carefully selected because of
his especial fitness for the part assum-
GU, ulS ID LiOSL tAuiy 81 III Tue Ease
of Mr.. Douglas Powell, who will sing
the character of the great Elijah. Be
ing man of strong personality and a
finished singer, he VIII give to the part
an authoritative Interpretation in keep
ing with it's importance. There are
few oratorio singers in this country
fully competent for this difficult role.
Powell is one of the few fitted by ma
ture for the part, and the value of his
rendition will be further enhanced.
Another feature which will undoubt.
edly contribute to fine results is the
comprehensive arrangements for re-
hearsals with the artists. By next
Monday evening Mrs Wilbur T. Mills,
the noted organist Of Columbus, will
be with the chorus, the other artists
will arrive very early the following
week ard rehearsaIs will be practical
ly continued from that time on, both
for the artists recital and for Elijah,
Altogether there is fine promise of an
other chapter being added to the mag
nificent success attained by previous
concerts.

WOMEN
To Held A Council In Rome
Next Week

Rome, May 2--Since the first ap-
pearance of women In the field of
politics and social reform there has
never been such demonstration as
that which will take place in Rome
next week, when hundreds of women
of many different nationalities, bound
together by their common interest in
all movements having for their object
the betterment of humanity, will as
semble here to take part in the meet
ing of the International Council OF
Women.
The magnitude OF the organizations
which will participate in the confer
ence is hard to realize, and compared
with their modest beginnings their
growth is little short OF miraculous.
Equal suffrage organizations, temper.
ance societies, educational unions and
reform organizations of many kinds
will be represented. Delegates from
twenty-one countries will be in attend
ance, and the total membership of the
organizations they will represent is
estimated at nearly 100000
Thirty years or more ago such
thing as an international council of
women was unknown. In Europe and
America there were many organiza-
tions of women existing for the pur-
pose of promoting social and other
refrom, but they were entirely dis
tinct from one another and worked
Independently. Even in those days
there were some who dreamed Of link
ing all the societies together in bond
of union, to found one grand nonsect-
arian, nonpartisan and nonsectional
organization to include all movements
designed to better humanity. In 1888.
largely through the efforts of the late
| Susan B. Anthony and other Ameri-
can women leaders, the dream came
true" The international Council of
Women was formed and its success
was assured from the start. Once
every five years since the organization
of the international council the bright
est lights among the women of the
world have come together to review
activities.
The Countess of Aberdeen is the
president of the council and will pre-
side over the sessions to be held here,
beginning next Tuesday Both the
United States and Canada will be
represented by large delegations.
Other countries that will have dele
gates at the council are Great Britain,
Germany, Sweden, Turkey, Bulgaria,
Denmark, Holland, Italy France, Aus
tria, Norway, Belgium, Greece, Aus
tralia, China, India and Japan.
The American delegation is headed
by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw OF Phila-
deiphia, president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion, and Mrs. Kate Waller Bennett of
Virginia, who is president of the Ma
tional Council OF Women of the United
States.
The sessions of the international
council will continue one week. Fore
most among the topics of general in
terest scheduled for consideration are
international peace and arbitration,
the rights Of women to the ballot, the
suppression OF the white slave" traf-
fic, the improvement Of the public
health, the protection of emigrants,
and measures of legislation concern
ing the general welfare of women and
their legal position.

NO LIVING WITHOUT WORK

General" Charles kelley's I. w. W.
march on Washington 1900 strong
from San Francisco ten days ago, has
been dispersed. Only a handful Of ir-
Teconciliables remains in the camp on
the Yolo levee, at Sacramento, to
which the army was driven last
week. The district attorney OF Sac
ramento county announces that Kelley
and his aides will be prosecuted.
Thus it is demonstrated hat the
wilfully idle will not be tolerated.
There is work for everybody. but liv-
ing without work for nobody.
In San Francisco the I. Won't
Work CROWD traded their work tick
cts for booze. In New York they re-
fused to shovel snow and invaded
churches to sleep in the pews and eat
free food. In Chicago they fed on
bounty till a federation Of charity
sifted out of them the few really
needy ones. They frankly said that
they wanted a living without work and
were going to take it. But this
theory of life is repugnant to society
Inc in dealing with it's attempted
practice society resorts to stern legal
measures.
Governor Hiram Johnson Of Califor-
MIA could stand the California army
OF the unemployed" till he came up
against it in Sacramento. Then he ex-
pressed the greatest sympathy for
men who want to work, but added:
For the men who won't work,
which I understand is the principle
with the Industrial Workers Of the
World, I have no sympathy"
Careful inquiry reveals less than
the usual winter number of men who
want work. and municipal and chart
table agencies have more than plenty
for them.

Tho Philippine Policy.

, Reading the report of John G. Cur
tiss, who has just returned from a two
year tour Of the world, as to Philip
pine conditions, one is struck by a
similarity between his conclusions and
those at which Dean-C, Worcester ar
-rives in his book The Philippines, Past
and Present.
Governor Harrison is throwing all
the capable white men out of Office
Mr.. Curtiss said in a speech today be-
for the advertising association Of
commerce, HE is rapidly undoing all
the good that the American occupation
Of the islands has accomplished and
Is getting things ready for a return
to anarchy and s~avagrey."
Writing on the question of Philip
pine independence, Mr.. Worcester re-
marks: "Whtle the Filipinos, have adj
vanced more in the last fifteen years
than during any previous century Of
their history, what they have gained
is by no means ingratned in. their
It is our duty and our privilege to
guide and help them on their way.
We should hold steadily onward, dis
regarding the hostility and the MUIR
muring Of selfish politicians and look
hopefully to the future and substantial
results from the. broad and generous
policy which we have thus far fol-
lowed"
Referring to the policy Of Governor
Harrison which Mr.. Curtiss criticizes,
Worcester says in another part of
the volume-"Let us hope that Presi-
dent Wilson, the titular leader Of the
democratic party and the dispenser of
political patronage, has not entirely
abandoned the Philippines and that in
embarking SO boldly, not to say so
rashly, as he has done, On the policy
Of suddenly giving to the Filipinos a
radical increase in the control which
they are allowed to have over their
own affairs, and Of leaving them sub
s%equently to demonstrate their fitness,
or %unfitness to exercise it he will at
least be hound by the actual results
of an experiment which, as everyone
familiar with local conditions in the
islands well knows, is fraught with
the gravest danger"
