LONDON, Aug. 22.-From a cavalry Of
ficer whom I met yesterday at Client /
obtained some interesting retrospective
details OF the siege Of Lie9e, In the de-
fence OF which his regiment took part.
He said that the attack Of the Germans
on the wire entanglements leading to
the fortress was terrible sight, the
butchery was so !nhuman.
German dead were piled to the height
OF a railway carriage, They came on
in the darkness and when the foremost
rank touched the wire, through which q
strong electric current ran, they shud-
dered convulsively and fell.
Every now and then the powerful
searchllght Of the fort was turned on
the mass Of advancing soldiers and the
men leaped and staggered back, blink
ing as the light swept them. The next
instant rife fire and cannon strewet
them In heaps.

Special cable Despatch 10 THE SrS.


LONDON. Aug. 22.--The EUeninD
STANDARD has a despatch from its Basel
correspondent telling of his observa-
lions In a tour of Alsace from which
he returned Wednesday.
Referring to the descriptions Of the
fighting in Alsace as merely "insignih-
cant encounters between advance
guards" the correspondent says that II
this Is true in a military sense and the
prelimnaries of war produce the ter
rible results he had seen, the disastrous
effects OF the entire war will exceed
the possibilities of human comprehen-
sion.''
At the outset of his trip the corre-
spondent saw old men and boys and
women, from young girls to aged grand
mothers, working side by side in the
fields, unconcernedly gathering the har-
vest. The first sign Of the war that
caught the correspondents attention
was the demolished home OF a Roman
Catholic priest in a village near Rams
bach.
The German authorities, the corre-
spondent continues, jumped to the con-
ciusion that the aged priest who devoted
himself to religious and literary work,
was French secret agent and that he
had been informing the French Of Ger
man military movements. They said he
used carrier pigeons TO send his com
munications to Belfort. The Alsatians
In the village said these accusations
were untrue.

The choir Of the NJ. L. church, un-
der the direction Of Prof. warwas,

tata upon the nativity, composed by
Arthur Miller, In which the composer
has realized to perfection that a beau
tiful and significant thought must be
told in a beautiful and significant man.
ner.
As must always be the case with
modern feelings of old Bible stories, a
considerable portion of the text is
based upon direct s%criptural quotation.
Both the Old and New Testaments are
drawn upon for this purpose, the
former for the utteranoe of prophecy,
the latter for the words If actual mar
ration. Such vital phrases as, "The
voice of one crying In the Wilderness"
and His name shall be called wond-
erful, Counselor. the Prince Of Peace"
as well rs such essential phrases as
l"Glory to God I'm the Highest" Thus,
the verbal material Of the cantata has
qualities to render II Immediately
familiar.
The music IL of a high class; Il
flows along in phrases naturally re-
sponsive to the forms of the verse,
with an unfailing sense of contrast.
Perhaps n of the chief charms of
Christ. the Child" lies in the skill
with which the individual values of
the voices are brought out and main
tanned, the music being not so much
arranged for choral use as conceived
and written for the same. At innumer-
able points, the music is of a character
which will fix It in the minds Of the
listener, but these can scarcely be in
dictated by extract, excepting the
charming Lullaby" with its delicate
setting for the contralto voice repre-
senting an hour of inspiration and will
never fail to touch the sympathy and
understanding of every mothers heart.
Following are the soloists:
Mrs. r. Warwas, soprano; Mrs. II.
r. Wallis, contralto; Mr.. r. Warwas,
tenor; Mr.. S. Baird, baritone; Miss d.

DEVIL DANCERS OF cEYLoN
Natives Have Implicit Faith In Their
Ability to Cure All Forms Of
Disease.

Despite the advance of medicaI
knowledge throughout India, says a.
writer in the Wide World Magazine,
devil dancers are still called into re-
quisition In many parts Of Ceylon for
curing all kinds OF sickness. When a
native is taken i'll his relatives first
apply medical treatment. If, after
some days, this appears to be ineffec-
tive, 1t Is concluded that the sickness
ness Is one incapable Of cure in this
manner, but is caused by some inin-
ical influence, and must therefore
be due to either q glance Of the evil
eye, the action OF demon, or some
evil planetary action. The soothsay.
er Is then sent for, and this worthy.
after examining the patient, names
the demon or spirit responsible for
the malady. An offering is then made
to the demon In the form of food. a
coin, or piece Of cloth. Then fol-
lows the professional dance. carried
out by the, devil dancers. Two men
clad In gorgeous garments and wear.
Ing strange headdresses and masks go
through number of grotesque and
extraordinary evolutions to the beat
ing OF the tomtoms, making weird
noises the while. This is kept up
for hours, sometimes all night, and is
always performed within sight of the
sick person. In the complete cere-
monies Of the demon called Sarnni
Yaka, who causes convulsions, severe
toothache, headache, etc., no fewer
than 80 different masks are worn in
turn by the dancers Curiously
enough, observers state these strange
ceremonies usually have a favorable
effect upon the patients illness.
