use So quick and effective is its action

THE CRUCIFIXION'
WAS SUNG FRIDAY
Augmented Choir at st. Johns Rem
dered Stalner's Sacred Oratorio
in Splendid Fashion.
rContributed.1

A most beautiful and fitting close
to the solemn services IN commend
ration Of Good Friday was the rendi
ton Of Sir John Stainers sacred ora
torio THE Crucifixion." at st. Johns
Episcopal church Friday evening. II
was sung by an augmented choir Of
thirty-five voices with Mr.. Frank E.
Fuller as orgaaist and director, and
Mr.. VIM. Smith Of Quincy, Mr.. James
Young and Mr.. Alfred Lee Jones az
soloists. The music of the "Crucihx
ion' is deeply religious and peculiarly
impressive. 1t was interpreted in the
real spirit of devotion and with the
simplicity and dignity which is its
only true expression. One of the car.
dinal sins against the canons OF must
cal art is an over-fndulgence in emo.
tional and dramatic expression.
Hamlet's advice to the players Is of
equal value to the musician: use all
gently: for in the very torrent, tenn
pest and, as may say, whirlwind OF
passion you must acquire and beget
a temperance that may give It smooth
ness" This Mr.. Fuller does. He
never rants and the poignant climaxes
of the "Crucifxion" were developed
with restraint and splendid ear for
tonal quality and rythmical value. As
an organist Mr.. Fuller is pre-eminent.
This fact was again demonstrated by
his work Friday His accompani-
ments never dominated and yet they
controlled the chorus and created the
atmosphere for the whole oratorto.
That he was capable, with the made
auate organ at his command, of max
ing one feel SO keenly the mystery
and horror Of the brooding darkness
succeeding the crucifixion speaks vol
urnes for his technical skill and inter
pretive ability. And this, after all, Is
the big thing in his work. When Mr..
Fuller plays he says something This
pre-supposes technic, but it keeps II
in its place as servant instead Of max

ing it master. Mr.. Fuller's musical
feeling and taste is always good and
his style musfcianly.
Mr.. Will Smith who sang the bass
solos Friday evening has voice OF
beautiful quality and considerable
power and range. His dramatic eli.
makes were well brought out and his
enunciation exceptionally good. 1t is
hoped his many friends may hear
him here again.
Mr.. Young sang the difhcult tenor
role with credit His voice was un.
usually clear and lyric in quality, and
his pianissamos well taken and sus-
tanned
The minor solos were very satisfac-
torily done by Mr.. Alfred Lee Jones.
A large congregation was in attend
ance.

REMOVED TO HOSPITAL

| Fred Glasgow, foreman at the Hub
niger starch works, was taken to the
ST. Joseph hospital, suffering from
severe bruises and strains yesterday
morning after he had been pinned I'M
der a three ton oil machine which
broke through the runway on which 1t
was being unloaded from freight
car. The attending physician, DR.. H.
| A. Gray, said last night the exact ex-
tent of his injuries cannot be told
yet. Unless he received serious in
ternal injuries which have not yet de-
veloped, he will recover, the physician
said. Glasgow was resting easily at
the hospital last night.
But for the fact that the weight OF
the machine was partly supported by
one plank SO that it did not rest en-
'tirely upon him, Glasgow would have
been crushed to death. in the belief
of the men who witnessed the acct
dent.
Machine Breaks Through Runway.
The machine was being moved from
the car over an improvised runway OF
two six by six pIanks when the &C
cident happened. One of these planks
gave way under the immense stress
which was brought on 1t, allowing the
machine to topple over on one side.
Glasgow was standing on this side OF
the runway and the machine struck
him, pinning him to the ground un-
derneath 1t.
A large part of the weight Of the
machine was held up by the other
plank, there being a small space be-
tween the lower part of the machine,
under which Glasgow was caught, and
the earth. But for this fact, the man
undoubtedly would have lost his life.
Glasgow was extricated as quickly as
possible by the other workmen pres
ent, and a physician called at once.

Dr. Gray arrived within few morn
ents and made a hasty examination
OF Glasgow before the ambulance ar
rived, and he was removed to the
hospital. It was at first thought that
several of his ribs had been fractured
but a more careful examination made
at the hospital proved this fear to be
unfounded.
Whether or not Glasgow's injuries

j. S. AGRICULTURE IN
PROSPEROUS SHAPE
Secretary Houston in Annual
Report Recommends Legis-
Iation for Benefit of Farmers

Agriculture in the United States has
prospercd during the past eighteen
months. despite the disturbed condition
of the world. according to the annual
report of Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, made public today.
''In some sections the war raging in
Europe has caused severe hardships
and great financial loss" he declares,
while in other sections it's first result
at least has been very considerable
financial gain
The outbreak Of the war found this
country In a peculiarly fortunate agri-
cultural situation. The year 1914 wit
messed an unusually large production Of
u number of staple crops.
The abundant supplies of foodstuffs
made it possible for the country to meet
the greatly increased foreign demand
and still to retain enough AT home to
satisfy the normal domestic needs.
"A comparison OF exports of the year
with those of the preceding year shows
that the exports of horses and mules
increased from 100000 to $1,000, 600,
meats and dairy products from $l46,-
100000 to 500 900 900, wheat land wheat
flour from 3li2 900, 900 to $42S. 900 600. corn
land cornmeaD from S.00o,000 to $50. .Oco,-
900, oats from Sl.WN.OOO to S5I.UO,OOO, and
barley from 100000 to SIS, ,o0000O, while
cotton decreased from S5l0,0D.00O to
S376 900. 600 and tobacco from $54.OD,OO
to sAOO0OO0 These products comprise
nearly ninc-tcnths OF the total agricul-
tural exports"
The Secretary indicated a number of
important measures necessary for the
betterment of agriculture. These meas
ures involve:
Legislation designed to promte the
better handling and storage OF farm
products and the trading on the basis of
fixed grades and standards.
A land-mortgago act.
Assistance to communities near the
national forests in road building aud
similar improvements.
Authority to grant water-power per-
mits within the National Forests 70:
fixed periods.
:. The classified ton of the remaining
public grazing lands to determine
their character and to secure informa =
tion upon which to base plans for
their future improvement and use.
More effective control over the pro-
duction of hog cholera serum.
Provision for a well-ba danced en-
larged program for agricultural re-
search.
The continuance OF appropriations
for the purchase OF forest lands in
the Appalachian and White Mountains
until areas sufficient to be Influential
in protecting those regions are &C
quired.
