LETTER FROM REV. WORK

Dear Register: You will no doubt
be surprised to receive a communica-
ton from me from Hastings, Neb., and
my excuse for writing at this time and

your readers who knew him that Rev.
Friend d. Haner, d. D., who was twice
pastor Of the Presbyterian church of
White, So. Oak, departed this life
January 18th, 1917. Before going to
the hospital some four weeks ago for
two operations, he made certain re-
quests, contingent upon his death; one
OF these was that l should be called to
conduct his funeral. This took place
this afternoon at the First Presbyter-
ian church, at which Rev. DR.. Bean,
the pastor, assisted. Another request
was that his body should be buried at
Gilboa, N. Y. This will be done.
Mr.. Haner made a &C

THE SOCIAL CENTER BILL

To the Legislators of South Dakota:
The social center bill belongs under
the head of welfare legislation. No
lesser authority than South Dakota's
choice for president in the last election
conceded this, while governor of his
state.
When called to speak at the banquet
celebrating the second anniversary Of
the establishment of the social center
at Rochester he said: 81 am more in
terested in what you are doing and
what it stands for than anything else
in the world. You are buttressing the
foundations Of democracy"
But the bill recently passed by the
lower house Of our legislature will not
put South Dakota in the line of pro-
gress in this particular. 1t would
better have been "smothered in COM
mittee;" then no one would be led to
believe that we have adequate legisla-
ton upon this point.
In view Of the fact that the electors
Of this state have never cast but a
small majority Of their potential vote
even at a general election, under the
impetus of state and national issues,
and the personal solicitations of can.
didates, to require a majority Of all
electors in each district to vote for the
measure is to weight the bill with com,
ditions that fore-doom it to defeat.
The way that electors attend (?)

COMING BACK ON THE KICKER

There seems to be a great deal OF
agitation by the Commercial Club
about hiring a City Manager. Perhaps
the city needs a competent City En-,
gineer to look after the public utilities

with reference to these plants, l want
to say that they are all self sustaining
and go a long way towards building
crossings and maintaining streets, etc.
and that the rates charged for water

lower than any city in the state, no,
excepting Sioux Falls. However, the
service might be improved II a compe

only argument advanced in favor of 9

get better service and in the end !,
would save money for the city, thus

Music Of Yesterday
Symphony Society Gives
First of Its Gala Con-
certs at Carnegie

The Symphony Society gave the first
Of two gala concerts yesterday after
noon at Carnegie Hall, the programme
consisting of two works by Beethoven,
the "Eroica" Symphony and the Triple
Concerto for violin, violoncello and
piano. When it is stated that the solo
parts in the concerto were sustained
by Fritz Kreisler, Pablo Casals and
Harold Bauer, it is not necessary to
add that many prospective ticket buy
ers were turned away from the door,
Mr. Damrosch reverences his Beeth-
oven, and his reading Of the "Eroica"
was well thought out, alphabetically
felt and admirably sustained. The bard
has rarely been heard to better sdvan-
tage.
The Triple Concerto is work little
heard, but il is a work which shows US
Beethoven in his most charming and
graceful mood. Three great virtuosi do
not always make for perfect ensem-
BILE, but such was not the case yester-
day with Messrs. Kreisler, Casals and
Bauer. Nothing that these artists
have accomplished bears them greater
credit than the manner in which they
sank their Municipalities in order TO
make for perfect whole. All three,
and Mr.. Damrosch as well, were animal
ed by a splendid unity.
II was performance Of high or
der of beauty. The same programme
will be repeated tomorrow afternoon.

200 Biblical Pilgrims
Parade Fifth Avenue
Actors in Hoboken Passion
Play Invite Cardinal Farley
To Be Their Guest

Fifth Avenue was yesterday startled
by long line of pilgrims seemingly
transported from Biblical times and
dressed in the garb OF the early era.
Their long boards and flowing robes
were in sharp contrast to the passers-
by they encountered. More than 200
money lenders, disciples, kings, Phari-
sees, keepers of the temple and holy
women were in the procession.
A few inquisitive small boys, not
sharing the general awe, called out
questions, but the parade continued its
stately way to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Here the pilgrims halted and said that
they represented the entire cast of
"Veronica's Veil" the passion play now
being put on in St. Joseph's Audito-
rum, in West Hoboken, and that they
had come to ask Cardinal Farley to
witness their production some time
during the Lenten season.
Monsignor Lavelle greeted them, tell
ing them that Cardinal Farley had gone
TO Dunwoodie Seminary, but had lett
an expression of deep interest in Amer
ica's first passion play and promise
to see it soon. ~
The players returned TO west HOBO

of "Veronica's Veil" with W. Bourke

intimate variety. variety invented and

will seat about $50 persons and be so
intimate as to be downright chummy.
And it will be called the Intimate
Theatre.
The plans for the new theatre pro-
vide that almost everything will be in
innate but the prices. Beginning with
an intimate box office man, there will
be intimate ushers and an intimate
promenade, and so on down to one of
the most intimate asbestos curtains
