A Lambs Unpopular BIeat

Even when Lambs frolic, significant
things may happen. When Irving
Berlin sang his song "On to Mexico"
at the Olympic Wednesday night, he
sang it with grace. And it had a lifting,
martial air. Sousa and his musical men
gave it a full Interpretation as a war
song. 1t breathed the spirit OF a patri-
otic prophecy in the lines telling Of
how the Mextcans would have TO run
before US. There was an appea! not
only to patriotism but to national vanity.
But there was only the faintest ripple
Of applause. 1t was impossible not
to think that so good singer, with
such tuneiul piece Of music aud such
fine accompaniment, would have had
a salvo OF applause for other sentiments

Mexicans il we have tor Assuredy
yes. Will we not make them run il we

again. We have no stomach for it;
that's all. The average American

use Of his far greater strength in such
an unequal contest. Fight MeSico3
We will fight any body, if We have to.
But we are not applau5ing lingo songs,
which might lead TO an impression in
Washington that the country is aflame
Tor war for wars sake. There is a
vital distinction in the public mind
which Irving Berlin evidently did not
realize before he made an unfortunate e
selection OF his pretty little tune set
to unpopular words.
Doubtless the piece had met the
same reception earlier and elsewhere.
Americans all think alike in such mat
tiers. But il the singer felt the want OF
enthusiasm TO be want Of patriotism
he must have been thoroughly unde-
ceived only few minutes later, when,
in the finale, the band played Star

aimed not at any body in particular,
but at the world in general. Then the
audience came TO its feet, and its
acclaim almost drowned the braying
horns which played the national anthem.
Wave after wave OF applause swept
over the great audience. Hats and
fans waved and flags fluttered. The
popular heart beat true TO the highes
national feeling for nearly two minutes.

The feeble hand clapping which greet

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-The wealth

the yearly classic to be played at New

season that the elements have OBJ

John j. Gilbride. in his inimitable
manner, sang one of his well-known
selections, and the applause was so
tremendous that he was forced to
sing an encore. Russell's string or
chestra added the necessary musical
element. and their excellent rendition
Of the classical and popular produc-
tons was one OF the most charming
features Of the extremely entertaining
evening.
The Hon. Thomas NJ. Monaghan
was the principal speaker OF the
evening, and was given the greatest
ovation Of all when he stepped to the
platform. In his Characteristic man
ner, Mr.. Monaghan eulogized fratern-
alism, explaining how the knowledge
of parliamentary procedure and the
benefits of.early oratory and debating
proved of inestimable value in City
Council. the local capitol and all
political gatherings. His timely sug-
gestions, appeal for noble manhood,
and complimentary references to past
performances, were enthusiastically
received.
This was the first Of a series of
smokers that Brownson intends to
hold and last nights momentous pro-
gram will be duplicated in the future.
It was one OF the greatest as

from the smiles, approving mods and
remarks that emanated from both the
old guard and the young at the ter

New York Cotton Brokers Get Announcement From
 Liverpool

New York, October 15.--The only fresh developments reported in cotton circles here today, with reference to the liquida- tion of the old contract interests. were cables from Liverpool announcing that the price of January-February there would be reduced to 475d tomorrow and requesting that the margins deposited in local banks be released to Liverpool ac- count.
 According to the original agreement be- tween the two markets, such margins were not to be released until contracts had been actually liquidated, but it was supposed that Liverpool was attempting to collect all funds possible before the termination of the British moratorium on November 4.
 Reports of frost in northwest Texas seemed to attract comparatively little att tention. but local spot dealers said that their offers from the interior were a shade firmer today, particularly from the western belt. owing partly to the reports of progress wfth the proposed $lbo.ooo0oo financing pool.
