The Cincinnati Festival

"Cincinnati's twenty-first biennial music festival will open May and will close May g." said an old music lover who recalls the first of the fes- tivals.
 "I seldom missed a Cincinnati fes- tival when Theodore Thomas was liv- ing and directed those great affairs. But I have missed the last two or three biennial events.
 "rhe Cincinnati orchestra of 90 pieces has been engaged for the coming fes- tival and all the numbers on the pro- gramme. both choral and symphonic will be directed by Dr. Ernst Kunwald, the regular director of the symphony orchestra.
 "rhe programmes this year will be of the same general character as those of former years The choral works will include Berliozs celebrated dramatic oratorio, The Damnation of Faust, with which the festival will open. Bach's B minor mass will take up the entire second nights programme. On Friday night Nerdi's Requiem mass will be heard in it's entirety and the feature of the Saturday night pro- gramme will be Beethoven's greatest work, the Ninth symphony-chorus as well as orchestra.
 "Cincinnati is noted for it's famous oratorio chorus of 500 or 500 voices. That organization is said to be in par ticularly fine form this season. Another feature of the festival will be the childrens chorus, which will sing at two matinees and will assist in The Damnation of Faust, and in the B minor mass"

WALKING ON THE TRACKS

From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
 In 1913 there were 497 persons killed and 556 injured while trespassng on the property of the Pennsylvania Rail- road company. Of the number killed 250 were unidentified and most of them were tramps. Against the practice of these gentry in taking to trains or the ties there is little use in protesting, and even with severe application of laws when they are apprehended and getting rid of them. But when it is pointed out that the other 247 who met death were useful citizens, 12 of them women, and that the injured necessarily included large proportion of the same kind the serious loss to the com munity growing out of railroad trespass is apparent.
 In tine long roll of trespassers killed thus last year were farmers, bakers glass workers, carpenters. coachmen fishermen, laborers, millworkers, miners shoemakers, teamsters, coke drawers and people engaged in other vacations It is utterly impracticable for the rail- roads to police the rights of way, and in this age of intelligence it ought not to be necessary to point out the dangers of track walking and train jumping So the slaughter goes on the fault not being with the railroads, but with fool

IDEAL COOKS AND MAIDS

Julius Muller, in an Article in the Gen. tury on the West Indies
 We strolled into a merchants office
 on arrival. and proclaimed that we wanted servants at once We did not know the merchant, but we know the strains that West Indian hospitality will withstand. In half an hour there
 was a little regiment, men and women, before the door. In five minutes the
 merchant had sgnaled out those whom he could recommend. We gave the house keys to the one we hired as cook
 and told her what we wanted for breakfast meaning what is called | luncheon in the north. She trotted off
 to market, followed by the others who
 had been hired-and followed, too, by a
 dozen unhired, who went in the hope
 of discovering some unified position in | the retinue.
 To reach the house after a shopping
 expedition and find the table ready and
 the meal cooking were the least of the travellers surprises
 The hopeful dozen, with some rein forcements, were sitting under the
 mango and poinciana trees in the gar
 den smiling hopefully and pleading, Please, marster" and Good marneen, | Misses In the pantry the butler was
 mixing a planters punch The esti-
 mable creature had borrowed the rum from another household. l am aware l that MT. Sinbad would have worked this | into much more effective climax. But he was strillingiy unhampered by | truth. When one is constrained to tell | only the truth, and the truth is so simple, it must perforce be told simply.

DAWN AT ABINGDON

From The Color of the East" by Eliza
 beth Washburn. published by Stokes
 Slow boats slipped softly up the stream and others still slept with quiet gurgling at their anchors. A craning, swanlIla craft, with high carved beak and out stretched wings, swept swiftly out~to sea with rows of naked brown men bending sharply at the oars Sampans rocked on the rising tide and a gentle stir and stretching from sleep ran up and down the crifmson-running river.
 A bird gushed suddenly a wondrous, liquid song from the low, mist-covered shores. Following came a gentle breeze that rent the fine silver tissues, fippled the stream and showed. very naked and ugly, low. fiat lying town. With the breath came a faint, fine echo of bells- languorous. pausing tones of silver. Then, emerging from the mists and standing high above the level of the brown earth gleamed a bell shaped. divinely pointed thing of gold that quivered dizzily for a moment, then dmmed behind bank of mist.
 Next the sun leaped into the day and struck upon the sense like the sudden clash of metal cymbals. The mists curied instantly and vanished, the shadows with cred under foot and a bare white light trimmed like a knife the ugly outlines oi Rangoon.
 Mind and body cry aloud for shelter in the town. The sun hangs so low-perches in the very branches of the dust-streaked trees It is appalling, and the soul whni- pers at the nearness, the bald intrusion.

Some of Birmingham's Needs

The city commission did a good days work when it concluded an agreement with the railroads and the Sloss-Sheffield company for the con- struction of First avenue viaduct Nothing has been so much needed as that safeguard against life and prop erty.
 And now that the viaduct problem has been solved to the satisfaction of the public, the commissioners should feel happy and be in particularly fine humor for working out other problems that are more or less pressing. It has been seen that the commits sioners can work in harmony. There has been some friction in the past, but there is nothing of the sort worth attention at the present time. No three men will always think alike; but there is no reason why three honest, open minded and representative citi- zens should not be able to agree upon propositions upon which the majority of the people are agreed. Street paw ing work should be pushed. Summer is coming on, and certain things are needed for the health and comfort of the inhabitants and the general inn provement of the city. In the out lying sections as well as in the central part of Birmingham the streets should be kept clean. The thoroughfares in the residence sec- tions as well as in the "downtown" district should be well sprinkled, and vacant lots should be thoroughly drained.
 Then, too, the parks should be kept in perfect order and be made as at tractive as possible. The city is now doing good deal under the head of park improvement, including impor- tant work at the "Zoo," all which is naturally appreciated by the people.
 The City Beautiful has long been hobby of George Ward, now presi- dent of the commissions; and in pro- noting the City Beautiful" cause Commissioners Lane and Weatherly are giving earnest support. Many other things Birmingham needs; but The ge-Herald particularly desires to see the commissioners continue in harmony and do their utmost at all times to make Birmingham a model place to live in and work in. Let the mingham's best year.

THE CAT IN KITTY

Dallas Lore sharp in Atlantic Monthly
 Stroke kitty the wrong way and she spits Yet she sleeps in the kitchen by
 the fire. What of it, The very lap of her mistress has not counted with the cat in her. The cat in kitty is wild to the tip of her twitch tail. Watch
 her-if she hasn't already scratched
 you-as, crouched in the grass, she | makes her way toward some unsus- pecting bird. A shiver runs through you. You can feel her claws-so tiger | like is she. so wild and savage so 1 benton the kill. Or come upon her at dead of night in some empty, dimly , lighted alley. She is on the prowl The light of the narrow, gulch -lik . street falls on her with startling l largeness and marks her silent shadow on the flags. She moves stealthily out | to the corner and, well within the shadows, stops to glance furtively up and down the open cross street. But l the people are all within the shut
 doors. There is no one for her to de- vour

THE CALL TO STAMFORD

From the New York Sun
 Nobody will dispute Robert Mantell's s just criticism of the selection of William F'avershaw to represent the Shakespear- can actors of the United States at the festival to take place this spring at Strat- ford-on-Avon. MT. Faversham has had the most excellent intentions as to the production of the dramas of the Eliza bethan poet. It happens, however. that he has acted only in Julius Caesar" for che season and in -"Othello' for few eks in addition to his appearance on a few ccasions in a performance of "Ro- n1eo and Juliet" designed to appeal to the admirers of Maude Adams.
 Mr. Faversham is no less entitled to this honor on the ground of his nation ality than Robert Mantell and Edward Hugh Sothern, who happened to be born in this country, although his family was English A native American actor de- serving this distinction might be Otis Skinner who has won honor in many roles of the Shakespeare theatre, al- though practical reasony have recently forced him into another line of parts Mr. Skinner is not only an American by birth but has distinguished himself in field which MT Faversham can be said to have barely entered. So much a matter of intention have the latters $ plans in the production of Shakespearean plays been that 1t is not yet possible to sa% what he would have accomplished there, artistic as his ideals were.
 It is characteristic of the strabismic view of other nations concerning any phase of our arts that actors who like MT. Sothern and MT. Mantell and a an earlier period Mr. Skinner. have devot- cd years of their lives to acting Shakes peare, should be passed over in favor of a player who has actually played only in three plays and in at least two of them has not appeared more frequetly than one might count on the fingers of the three other actors mentioned

DOUBLE CENEROtrS

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph
 When Jones called on the Browns with an important message last night he had TO umbrella. It was raining pitehforhs and he was soaked to the skin. Mrs Brown was sympathetic and hospitable.
 q couldn'N dream of letting you SC away like that.' she cried. You must come in and get dry and have some SUD- per.
 Never, demurred Jones. ''I am soaked through and couldn't get dry. And couldn't sit down at your table in these clothes"
 But MT. Brown will lend you suit"
 ''Woludnt do. I'm twice as big a. Brown
 Well, hell lend you two suits. He has a plenty-come in"

Favorable Action Expected

For the past few weeks the eastern railroad companies and business men generally have felt discouraged at the apparent disinclination of the interstate commerce commission to authorize the carriers to advance freight rates , per cent said Charles NJ. Atherton of Phil adelphia, but now the chances seem more favorable Business depression in the east has become acute and public opinion is inslstent that the petition of the carriers be granted by the inter- state commerce commission. The com mission will now lose no time, and it is safe to say that it's action will he in the affirmative. The very day that the commission makes a favorable an- nouncement business will start up with a Whoop."

hardy folk, who, to save a little time or suit their own notions of conxeni- enee, put themselves in jeopardy.
 One factor initiating against efforts to discourage and punish trespassing Is found among local authorities, and par tioularly. amoIs; those in charge of country finances in some sections. They object to the expense incurred in main- taining prisoners committed for invad- ing railroad property. and thus there is encouraged a feeling that it is per fectly permissible to use the right of way 0 ranything else that is accessible for the accommodation of the public without let or hindrance.
 Possibly when attention is called to the continued and increasing sacrifice of life resulting from these abuses and the consequent economic loss some ad- vance in reducing casualties can be ac- complishsd. The railroads are doing all they can to rid themselves of a nuis- ance which is both cxrensi3e and dis tressing

sional criminal. Ruffo had been in this country only five days when he got into trouble. He was unable to speak English and was sentenced to prison before he realized what was happen ing.
 While Angelo worked for twelve years as assistant to small shop keeper in village outside Naples his brother was passing in and out of American prisons. Angelo had no desire to come to America and was contented with his humble career un- til his brother fled from this country to escape the police. The criminal, whose name is Dominica Ruffo, came to the Italian village and boasted of the prosperity he enjoyed in the United States. By some means he induced Angelo to emigrate to America Five days after the brother arrived Domi- nico took Angelo to Coney Island, where he said job was to be had The "job' was a robbery. Dominica went into a small store, while Angelo waited outside. When Dominica reap peared he was running and said, Come, we must see a man quick. o Angelo began to run too and both were caught by the police.
 In court the heartless Dominico left Angelo to his fate and got off with a suspended sentence. Angelo did not comprehend what was going on. After short trial he was returned to jail and was taken later to Sing Sing. After awhile he learned English and told his story, but it was too late then. He had contracted tuberculosis and when his story was at last be- lieved he was dying.
 It will never be known how many guiltless men suffer through legal blunders, but such cases are not un- common To make matters worse, 1t is usually the poor and ignorant who are victims.

TUscALLOsA AND HER FUTURE

From the Tuscaloosa News.
 An optimistic stafement on Tuscaloosa
 and her future is issued by Howard R. Taylor X Co.,, who have in charge the
 bond issue of the Birmingham Tuscaloosa
 Railway and Utilities company. The
 statement in part follows:
 The United States government. at d
 cost of over $S,00o099, has about com pleted the necessary locks to make the Warrior river navgable throughout the year, which will make freight shipments
 possible by water from Tuscaloosa to the Gulf of Mexico, The Birmingha m -Tusca-
 loosa Railway and Utilities company has
 complete belt railway system in Tus- caloosa and when wharves are built on it's property will be in position to trans fer, not alone the freight originating on it's own system, to water transporta tion,
 but any of the freight handled by the steam railroads in the district. Tuscaloosa has long been the principal jobbing center for the farming and man. ufacturing districts on both sides of the Warrior river.
 Within these districts are produced cot ton iron, coal and timber. Large fields of developed and undeveloped coal and iron ore lands lie to the east and north of the city and will be traversed by the Bir- mingham-Tuscaloosa Railway and Utili- ties companys line to Birmingham. On account of the improvement of the Warrior river, providing cheap water
 transportation, Tuscaloosa is destined to
 become the great shipping point in cen tral Alabama Having all the natural advantages that the city of Birmingham enjoys and the added advantage of an abundance of water and water transpor- tation, it is freely predicted that Tus- caloosa will in the next few weeks show a growth as phenomenal as has taken place in Birmingham.
 According to the city directory, just published, the population has doubled in the past three years, and is now over 1e,o00, about so per cent of which is white.

The Regional Bnalss

T had been thinking that one of the federal reserve banks would be located either in Atlanta or Birming ham; but l am of the opinion now that these cities will have to be satisfied with branches" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 "Atlanta and Birmingham will prob ably be put in different districts. At one time it was thought that Cleve- land would certainly have a federal reserve bank, but financiers seem to think that Cleveland will have branch of the Chicago federal reserve bank
 "A district has been proposed which will take in the southern part of Ohio, all or greater part of Kentucky, the greater part of Tennessee, all of Ala bama and part of Mississippi. If such a district is agreed upon Cincinnati will have the federal reserve bank for this section. New orleans will prob ably be placed in the St. Louis dis trict and Atlanta in an Atlantic coast district with Richmond or Washing ton as the federal reserve bank city. The organization committee will doubt less make it's announcements within the next few days"

kendrick as Engineer

The commission was fortunate in being able to induce former City En- gineer Julian Kendrick to return to his old position, made vacant sometime ago by the resignation of w. G: Kirp- patrick. He will be duly elected at next Tuesdays session.
 MT. Kendrick is one of the foremost civil engineers in this country and has for several years past enjoyed na- tional reputation. His longest experi- ence was in Birmingham as city engi- neer, where he displayed exceptional ability in sewer construction and other sanitary work.
 But his most notable achievement was Jefferson countys great trunk sewer, built according to his plans and under his direct supervision. He was careful estimator of the cost of large operations and when the trunk sewer was completed by the sanitary com mission and turned over to the county an unexpended balance of the appro- priation, amounting to several thou sand dollars, was handed to the board of revenue. In addition to his profes- sional equipment Mir. kendrick is a man of practical business ideas and broad vision.
 He should feel quite at home again in the city hall, for he will have as his
