his latest production, and it is pleas
ure to be able to hear number of the
Eileen selections on new Victor Records
for the songs bear the hallmark of
Victor Herbert's melodic genius. And
it is interesting to know that the six
numbers now presented among the list
of new Victor Records for June were
made under the personal direction of
Victor Herbert himself
1t is fitting that John Mccormack
should sing for Victor audiences two
of the Eileen favorites, and he is
equally at home in the remarkable love
song Eileen Alanna, ashore" which
he sings with consummate art, and
ireland, Ny Sireland" on which he
expends all his warm sympathy for the
land of his birth. AS Mccormack has
recently taken the first step toward be-
coming an American citizen, unusual
interest also attaches to another new
record just produced by the great tenor
"a record of the "Star Spangled Ban
ner" which he sings, accompanied by
male chorus, with thrilling effect.
The original Eileen company pre-
sents a dozen of the tuneful numbers
in their two groups of Gems from
Eileen" and two solo records are
sung by members of the Eileen COM
pany. Greek Evans, who has a ring
ing baritone voice, sings drinking
song, Free Trade and Misty Moon"
and "The Irish Have Great Day To-
night" a brilliant, dashing number ex-
folling the Irish in love and war, is
sung by the tenor, Scott Welsh, and
chorus.

Wornout Flags.

vnuL snUuIu De done with an Amer1-
can flag, old, worn out, soiled or tat
tered, that is no longer serviceable as
the national emblem? Should 1t be de-
stroyed? How should 1t be destroyed
without dissertation?
There appears to be no law to point
the way But there is practice. And
the best practice seems to point but
one way. Burn the unserviceable flag.
Perhaps make rite and ceremony or
this destruction by fire.
Total destruction seems the proper
measure, and that is to be accom-
plished conveniently and quickly only
by fire. To bury the flag has been sug-
gested, but it is stated, on the other
hand. that remains may be brought to
light and the method is not considered
good practice.
To throw the discarded flag into the
waste might be considered a desecra-
ton or at least an unpatriotic disregard
of its sacredness. Fire appears the only
sure way of satisfactory destruction.
To apply the flag to any further pur-
pose after its usefulness as a flag has
ended would be considered Dissertation,
even If not punishable by law as pub
lie offense. 1t should never become a
dust rag or a part of patchwork or
serve any other use thereafter, In the
general opinion of those who would
pay it proper honor.
None of the flags whipped to ribbons
in the breeze from the stats over the
treasury building ever has been de
stroyed. They have been carefully
folded and put into storage under the
regime of Chief Clerk Wilmeth. Re
luctant to destroy them, the necessity
may some day confront him as custo
dian of the building, and he will de
stroy them by fire.
In the navy and the coast guard reg
ulations require that useless flags be
destroyed by fire, This regulation is
strictly enforced.-Washingt Star.

tiful love song with perfection of
technique nicely balanced with poeti
cal insight. "Auf Wiedersehnl', a
number from a Viennese operetta, The
Blue Paradise, is a song worthy of the
attention of even so famous a ieder
singer as Julia CUP, and szs renders
it most delightfully."-.
Galli-Curci has proved herself to be
one of the foremost coloratura sopranos
of the age, and in new Victor Record
of "Solvejg's Song" from Peer Gynt
she demonstrates that she is none the
less gifted as a singer of lyric songs.
In offering "Hear Me, Norma one of
the most brilliant duos, in Bellini's opera
of Norma, Gluck and Homer have
chosen an admirable vehicle for a dis
play of their mastery of bel canto, or
beautiful singing as apart from dra-
matte singing. Giovanni Martinell and
Marcel Journet are also heard in duet,
"Matilde, Love Thee" from William
Tell. They make the most of the splen-
did vocal opportunities provided by
Rossini, and the dash and spirit at the
exciting climax are marvellous,

dered by the Victor Concert Orchestra
the Bridal Song" remarkable for its
melodic loneliness, and the serenade In
the Garden"
The six offerings of dance music are
made up equally of fox trots and one
steps. Four of the numbers are played
by Joseph c. Smith and his Orchestra,
and two by the Victor Military Band,
and they will prove most attractive to
those who delight in dancing to good
dance music. The Victor Military Band
also plays two rousing good marches.
1.-THE Boy Scouts of America" in
Sousa's live1iest vein, and the Blue
White March" which has an attractive
solo for the >cornet. Felix Arndt ranks
as one of the most artistic performers
of light piano music, and his record of
''Valse Bleue' is very interesting speci-
men of his great pianistic gifts. He
also plays "Marionette," one of his own
works. The accordion is an instrument
of exceptional musical value in the
hands of Pietro, who plays two
sprightly fox ltrot medleys.
Reinald Werrenrath gives splendid
interpretations of two old English ia
vorites-"Drink to Me Only with Thine
Eyes" and my Lovely Celia"-and two
Irish songs-"What an lrishman Means
by 'Machree';" and a gay and lifting
song entitled Wont Yez Kape Me
Company pare sung by George Mac
Farlane. Olive Kline is heard to- adj
vantage in that brilliant coloratura song
"Lo, Here the Gentle Lark, and the
plantation lullaby song, ma Curly
Headed Babby," with its haunting
soprano, sings Comm Thro' the Rye
in a ways that would be credit to a
Highland lassie, and also gives fine
rendition of Sing Sing Birds on the
Wing"
A fourteen-year child from Brook
1yn High School, Sally Hamlin, recites
two favorite dialect poems of James
Whitcomb Riley-"Our Hired Girl and
"The Raggedy Man"-and they seem
unusually attractive because interpreted
by a real child artist. Harry E.
Humphrey delivers Edwin Markham's
poem, Lincoln, the Great Commoner,"
and Col. R. G. IngersolIs Memorial Day
address, vision of War" with distinc-
ton and clarity of diction; and Ralph
Bingham contributes two excellent num-
bers, Home Run Bills Defense"

month there is variety to choose from
solos, duets, trios, and quartets by
artists who are particularly adept at
singing songs of this character. The
Sterling Trio gives good 'back home"
song, Indiana" and a splendid number
entitled Hawaiian Butterfly" Albert
Campbell and Henry Burr are heard in
three interesting numbers; Charles
Harrison sings charming song of
sentiment, "Would You Take Back the
Love You Gave Me?", and the popular
Mister Butterfly" which is destined to
become still more popular; and there
are about dozen other popular favor
ties, including several from the newest
musical comedy successes.

Current Musical Events

A new Gluck-Zinbalist number is,
"The Minstrel" which has as its theme
the strolling musician, formerly so COM
mon in Europe. The song is somewhat
akin in sentiment to Fiddle and T.
which has proved such a popular Gluck
Zimbalist number, but is even better
music, and in more pathetic strain.
The splendid Largo al Factotum''
from The Barber of Seville is superbly
interpreted by Giuseppe De Luca. He
throws himself into the spirit of this
jovial "tonsorial artist" with zest and
enthusiasm that fairly lift you off your

Race street would also appear, as we
find it mentioned as early as 1746 in a
deed from Nathaniel Thomas to Will
Liam Bubble. In 1855 White and Race
streets were relaid by survey-White
street on pretty much il not exactly
the same lines as at present, excepting
the west end. Race street was at that
time given q width of twelve feet.
have sometimes wondered if it was
not originally open to the creek, some
thing similar to- the bank along the
river at Burlington, only not beautified
as that is. After the stone wall was
built at the intersection of the streams
this bank was reclaimed and the street
put within bounds. / don't think the
name ever fixed itself very strongly in
popular favor. find an attempt made
in 1856 to call it Dobbins Avenue, from
the fact that the street then extended
south to about the present north end of
Michael Woolston's property. l well
remember it closing at that point with
q large farm gate through which you
passed to John Dobbins' house and
barns, which stood on the higher
ground at about Bispham and Budd
streets. White street took its name
from Josiah White. On some old
papers you will find it termed White
Hall street. This was oecasioned bv
Whites house being roughcasted a
very light color, and it being quite
common to term a mans house his
Hall, particularly if he was a man of
standing or means. So the whole COM
bination formed the name White Hall
street, just as in New Amsterdam New
York; Peter Stuyvesant's big white
house suggested the name OF White
Hall street.
II our present Washington street APP
peared at all other than ''the great
road to Philadelphia. it would be as
Reynolds street, after Patrick Rey-
nolds, and not after Washington, then
only 20 years old and unknown out of
Virginia. After the St. Andrews
church people bought land on White
street In l7S5, the name White began
10 wane, until We find it entirely super
seeded by the name of Church street
How the name White street came to be
applied to Race street | do NOT know
unless they felt guilty in giving an.
other name to White, and SO evened
matters up by giving the name to Race
street. About my earliest recollection
Joseph White, an auctioneer, lived on
the west side of the street, which NAV
have had its influence in naming the
street White.
So you see our map of the town in
1852 would not show over six or seven
streets and they of very limited extent.
Concerning the two small streets, Pax
son and Murrell, which came within
the area covered by our map, / am in !
almost entire ignorance, but think it |
quite probable that they are pretty old, !
especially Paxson street, which dates
from 1854 at least, Murrell was there
during the Revolution. Its nickname |
was Potpie alley. Washington
street was not like many of our
streets strictly speaking, laid out, as
