comes to relate his matrimonial trou-
bles. They set out on an apparent
hunting expedition. Then is seen the
deceptive nature of his many wives, for
the head eunuch is bribed to open the
three doors of the harem. The eunueh
opens first bronze door, through which
crawl Negroes CARRIED in copper, then
silver door through which creep Ne
groes clothed in silver, and finally
golden door through which comes
Negro attired entirely in gold, the IA
vorite Negro of Zobeide. Zobeide is
the favorite wife of the shah. Revelry
ensues. Pages dance in with platters
of fruit; maidens whisk about in d.
aphanous costumes bearing goblets Of
gold. Suddenly the shah appears. He
waves to his henchmen, whose seimitars
fall among the fleeing Negroes. Even
the wondrous Zobeide dies, embracing
the feet of her master as she expires"
The great Bard Of Avon scorned not
to make the Negro the main theme Of
several of his works. The tragedy of
Othello, the Moor of Venice, is probably
the best known. He has figured men of
color in minor ways in several Of his
other productions. This recognition of
the Negro as theme worthy of roman
tic writing and poetic inspiration by
the great masters of their craft must
necessarily draw our attention toward
it because of the fact that he is usually
regarded with perverse antipathies by
our so-called "modern authors" They
do not consider the Negro as worthy Of
inspiring their inferior genius. They
can only make use of him in a sense of
ridicule. One of the most delicate and
tender tributes to the finer genius of
the Negro which have ever read is
expressed in the lines written by the
English author, Alfred Noyes, in mem
DRY of Samuel Coleridge Taylor, as
follows:
1.-THE spark that falls from heaven not
oft on earth
To human heart this vital spendor
gives;
His was the simple, true immortal birth.
Scholars compose; but-this mans
music lives.
Through him his race a moment lifted
Forests of hands to beauty as in
prayer;
Touched through his lips the sacrament
tai cup,
And then sank baek-benumbed in
our bleak air."
This, of course, is only a part of the
complete poem, which consists of eight
stanzas, each one just as beautiful and
expressive of the wonderful and beau
tiful genius of Taylor as those quoted
here.
Thus We can see that the theme Of
the Negro has served as the inspiration
for much that is beautiful and fine in
art, literature and music. Anton Dvo-
rak, the great Bohemian music master,
used as the basic foundation for his
last, and what some critics consider his
greatest symphony, simple negro melo-
dies. This is his great "symphony in
E Minor, No. 5, Opus s5, From the
New World.''' Concerning the use Of
Negro melodies, or rather themes sug-
gested by Negro melodies, Dvorak made
some interesting statements in q writ.

representatives, OF the companies. some
announcement is expected within a

Conclusion OF am agreemnt has been
held up, 10 was learned yesterday by
difficulties in devising plan for APP
port0ning the stock of the new com
pany. which would have virtually
monopoly OF express business il The
United Slaies. The railroad admins
lration would make a contract with
The single company FOR hauling express
matter. taking approximately half OF
the transportation receipts.
The capitalization of The new COM
pany also Is tho subject of considerable
difference Of opinion. The four leading
companies-Ad0ms, American, Wells
Fargo and SOuthern-claim a physical
valuation of their transportation prop
erty Of approximately S3OWOOOO In
addition several million dollars cash for
operating would be- required. The eX-
press companies ana SoNie IdluNdA du
minslration advisers advocate higher
capitalization, with allowance for good
will and other intangible assets.
The plan for a unified express busi-
ness Is the ouleroWth Of earlier sug-
gestions from ile express companies
that their concerns bc taken over and
operated during the war as the rail-
roads have been. with the guarantee
Of average earnings for the three years
