REVOLT IN THE CONGO.
Twenty White Men Are Among the Vic
Tins.

Antwerp, Belgium, May 5.-Confrma-
tion of a reported native revolt in the
Portuguese Congo and the killing of 20
white men, including some Protestant
and Catholic missionaries, has been re-
eeived here. Many other missionaries
are said to have fled from the district,
according to dispatches from Bona, Bel
gian Congo. The natives are led by
chief from San Salvador. The governor
of Angola attacked them, but was forced
to retreat, and the natives continued
their march toward the left bank of the
Congo, burning all the stations on their
way and causing the small garrisons
to flee before them. Passengers who
arrived FROM the Congo on board the
steamer Anversville declared that the
situation in the Portuguese colony was
desperate and that the revolt would be
extremely difficult to suppress. They
said the Belgian Congo authorities were
rushing troops to the frontier in order
to prevent the natives from crossing
into Belgian territory and causing ris-
ing there.

Cake Filings That Are Different.

| When it comes to making filling for
| layer cake, perhaps in seven cases out of
l 10, chocolate filing is the one decided
, upon. Now, chocolate layer cake is
| good-very good-and almost everyone
| is fond of it; but it seems a pity to
use it so frequently to the exclusion of
the dozens of other filings which would
provide variety and many of which GER
tainly are Just as easy to make and no
more expensive than the chocolate.
Perhaps one OF the best filings and
one which is sure to please the young
folks, is a marshmallow filling, says the
Pictorial Review. This can be used eth
er for white or a dark cake. Try it
some day on a dark chocolate cake,
baked in layers, or even between the
layers OF an old-fashioned spice cake.
Marshmallow Filling.-Five teaspoons
OF powdered gum arabic, one cup of cold
water, one cup OF pulverized sugar, white
of one egg, one-half teaspoon of vanilla
extract. Dissolve the gum arabic in the
water. Add the sugar and cook over
gentle heat until thick enough to form
a soft ball between the fingers when a
little is dropped into cold water. When
this stage is reached, pour the boiling
mixture over the beaten white of the
egg. Add the favoring, and spread be-
tween the layers of cake, using knife
dipped into hot water to spread it
smoothly.
Raisin Filling.-One cup of granulat-
ed sugar, four tablespoons of water,
white of one egg, two-thirds cup of seed
ed raisins, few drops of almond flavor

THE FIRST WALPURGISNAcHT.
An Analysis of Production to Be Given
by Montpelier Choral Society.

Does the caption arouse curiosity, or
seem meaningless to the casual reader
"These things ought not so to be-" for
though of legendary origin, it suggests
the chief interest of the first concert in
the Montpelier Choral society's approach
}ng May festival. and therefore some
thing very tangible and real in its pres
ent Interpretation.
In the belief that the pleasure of every
person privileged to be in attendance
upon this first Of the festival enter
tainments will be largely enhanced by
some degree of advance familiarity with
the work and its descriptive feature,
and in the hope that an introduction to
its charms may serve to tempt the at
tendance of many who might otherwise
miss rare privilege of musical delight,
brief analysis of "The First Walpur-
gisnacht" is here attempted.
And first--if you would effect the ac-

These wild earousals are graphically por-
trayed in Goethe's Faust" In the poem
which Mendelssohn chose to work upon
the author reversed to the origin of these
revels. Goethe evolved the fancy that
on this night the druids retired to the
mountain businesses to celebrate their
rites unmolested by the Christians, sac
complishing their purpose by disguis-
ing their sentinels as demons, who, when
Christians approached, ran through the
woods with torches, clashed their arms,
uttered hideous noises, frightened them
away, leaving the druids free to finish
their sacrifices"
The cantata has for introduction an
orchestral overture in two weird and
rapid movements descriptive of the sea
sonal transition from winter to spring.
The voices are introduced by a tenor
solo and chorus replete with the ex-
uberance of returning springtide and
having its climax in fervently religious
call to the approaching rites.
Enter here an aged woman (aIto), who
dramatically warns the celebrants of APP
preaching catastrophe. A priest (bari-
tone) replies with an exhortation to i'm
mediate rearing of the sacriicial pyre;
to which the druids respond fearlessly.
Scarce more than whispered is the next
chorus of the guards, one guard sug-
gesting the demon-scheme above alluded
to, and finding ready response by the
chorus in one of the most wierdly fam
tastic and imaginative bits of tonal de-
scription in all music creation. 1t is
positively diabolical--so Internal that
the semi-choral hymn to deity. which
follows, introduced by solo bass voice,
comes as a welcome relief.
This inspiring hymn is followed by
the terrified warning of the Christian
guard and the answers of his equally
terrified comrades. Frantic with fear of
the fake-demons they disappear, leav-
ing the druids to resume their rites,
which end with another impressive cho-
raj hymn of praise.
Throughout the work by the orches
tration is of breathless interest and the
successful performance of the vocal parts
cannot fail to suggest the upward prog
ress of the local society in its study of
standard music by the worlds greatest

Washington, May GA determined
fight was launched in the Senate Mon
day to prevent the government from ac-
cepting Rockefeller money to aid in

clared that the money of John d. Rookie

on an amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill, which was pending
when the Senate adjourned for the day,
This amendment, reported by the agri-
cultural committee, proposed an appro-
priation in the House bill for farm dem
onstration and boil weevl work. with a
clause prohibiting contributions to the
fund by individuals or corporations. At
present the general education board, to
which Mr.. Rockefeller has given mill
lions of dollars, pays portion of the
salaries of 600 government employees
engaged in this work. Senator Varda-
man of Mississippi suggested amending
the committee amendment so as to per-
nit corporations in the cotton states to
contribute. This brought from Senator
John Sharp Williams the assertion that
"the Waters Pierce Oil Co. in Texas is
no more respectable than Standard Oil"
Senator Kenyon insisted that the fed
eral government had no right to go into
partnership with Rockefeller. 1T is no
more right for Rockefeller to be pay
ing the employees of the department of
agriculture he said, "than it would be
for him to pay the salaries of the MEM
bers of the supreme court or of the
Senate" Senator MARITIME said he would
be willing to have half the Rockefeller
fortune in building up Virginia. If
Rockefeller had got his money wrongly,
he added there was law to punish
him, but he should not be prevented
from doing good with the money he al
ready possessed. This was in answer
to Senator Lanes remark that "some
folks believe the curse of God is on
every dollar he possesses"

JOKER IN
TRUST BILL
More Extended Liberty for
Various Organi-
cations
COMMITTEE MAKES
NO CORRECTION
Section Seven Is Said to Be
from the Pen Of the
K President

L
Washington, May 6.-What is claimed
to be deliberate confusion in the Clay
ton trust bill, just reported to the House,
was disclosed yesterday from source
close to the committee on Judiciary. The
joker is in section seven, which deals
with labor organizations, and which is
said to have been written by President
Wilson himself. This section is as fol-
lows:
"That nothing contained in the anti
trust laws shall be construed to forbid
the existence and operation of fraternal,
labor, consumers, agricultural or horti-
cultural organizations, orders, or associa-
tions instituted for the purposes OF mu-
tual help, and not having capital stock
or conducted for profit, or to forbid or
restrain individual members of such or
carnations, orders or associations from
carrying out the legitimate objcts there
Of"
| Ii was pointed out to the committee
while it was framing the measure that
either the cor" after the word "agri-
cultural" should come out, or that an
"or" should be inserted after the word
Organizations" so as to make the
clause beginning "or associations instl-
tuted for the purpose" etc, wholly
new classification. The committee, how
ever, refused to make this correction,
possibly for the reason that it was writ
ten at the White House. As it now
stands, lawyers in the House declare
that associations which cannot be de-
clared as "fraternal labor, consumers,
agricultural, or horticultural" will be
given legal status which they have
not previously enjoyed. Such associa-
tions as the National Retail Lumber as
ISOLATION, and others OF like character,
would be benefited by this confusion.
Unless the gag is applied strictly,
section seven will be matter of hot
debate on the floor OF the House.
