Something Very Worth While
By MRS. J. E. REID

| This school is an asset to the community.
 It not only cares for the negro child, but 1t benefits the housek-epers of this city 1t turns out pupils equipped for servlee~- cooks, seamstresses, washerwomen, gar deners and buffers. Not only makes them
 more competent to make their own hN- ing, to render more intelligent service. but they are taught that they have had the sympathy and even help of the white
 folks, and this goes a long way toward giving better spirit as they go Tor ward to duty. The school is equipped with laundry, manual training room, sewing room, and model kitchen and across the way is a genuine war garden, where the boys do the work. There were two girl graduates srom the domestic science class this term, and they proved their ability to cook and served us splendid dinner on the occasion-a dinner cooked and seasoned perfectly, for Car rie knows truly how to cook the things which mother used to make" and the pupils receive practical training.
 Tuggle institute is the result of negro womans heart and head. She has com bined the two splenddly, and with her own hands has labored side by side with the women of her race. She is to the negro women Of Alabama what Booker T. Washington was to America, an eX- ample of work, and the fufil1ment of an untiring effort to do something worth while for his people. Washington made both money and opportunity, and he spent them well. Tuskegee institute stands splendid monument to a won derful man, the worlds greatest negro Today on Enon Ridge. Tuggle institute
 is struggling for greeat end, the build ing of men and women who will know
 what the world needs, the application of the best that is in each indivcidual We as community are not close enough in
 touch with what our own world is doing.
 We see the casualties in the papers, but
 we do not throw ourselves out enough
 in the byways to see the human work
 shops which are busy day and night.

but also as manager who committed certain acts which, u9der protection of the court, former Judge Seabury described in terms which, did not the statutes of limitations protect MT, Gould, might justify investigation by the grand jury. The language thus used was strong. And it justified the common impression that this contest will be bitterly fought It may ulti- mately result in such judicial action as will cause the removal of MT. Gould as trustee. On the other hand the evil dence may fail to produce a single fact which would justify the terms used by Judge Seabury in describing George Goulds actions, or sufficient to just fly his removal as trustee.
 This sensational outbreak is spoken of by lawyers and by business men as demonstrating the difficulty of so tying up great estate by a trust that ex- tends over long term of years, as to prevent at some time or other serious quarrels, serious accusations, and liti- gation.

An All-Cliopin Programme
Given by Gabrilowitsch

Chopin energies triumphant when
the acid test of programme devoted
wholly to one composer is applied to
his music. Yesterday afternoon, at
Aeolian Hall, Mr.. Gabrilowitsch played
the sonata in B minor, OPP. SO; Twelve
Preludes, the Ballade in G minor and
other shorter pieces. But if an after
noon with Chopin is pure JOY, not
every accomplished pianist is also an
inspired interpreter of his music.
There are some by whom the music is
inflated beyond all proportions in an
effort to be heroic, by others it's poetry
IS reduced to the point of effeminacy.
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch has often shown
himself among most romantic inter
prefers of Chopin. But yesterday his
performance was uneven. Lately he
has displayed a tendency to become a
miniaturist, to abuse exaggerated
pianissimo effects, to lapse into senti-
mentality. In these respects his play
ing was disappointment In the
sonata he was alternately over precious
and curiously explosive, as in the last
movement, which was needlesslv hur-
ried. In the preludes his performance
was less tinged with sentimentality
and there were often admirable mo-
ments. Panists, however, are not ma
chimes and yesterday Nh Gabrilowitsch
was evidently not in the vein. K. W.

ia Refine Fiammette," by
Xavier Leroux, at the Metro
poIitan Opera House
By Grenville Vernon

Signor GATH Casazza's seventh in the
list Of novelties and revivals announced
for this season, Xavier Leroux's "La
Refine Fammette," was produced last
night at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The opera is founded on the play of
Catulle Mendes, which was produced in
Paris in 1889. NJ. Mcndes himself aided
in adapting his words to the music of
NJ. Leroux, and the opera was produced
at the Opera Comique in 1903 with
Miss Mary Garden in the title part.
It's success in Paris was considerable
and it was afterward revived for Nine.
Marguerite Carrie, the wife of the di
rector of the Comique. Its Partisan
success was no doubt partially rcspon-
sible for its choice for the Metropoli-
tan We are to-day allies of France
IN more senses than one, and French
opera, somewhat of a Cinderella in
New York since Oscar Iammecstei
took his ten year vacation, is again
IN high favor. The public, or at least
lls vocal part demands French opera,
and so French opera 1t receives. lii
producing La Refine Fiammette" the
hetropolitan has proved it's sincerity
IN the search for new French works,
and 1T has produced it in q manner
worthy, perhaps more than worthy, Of
lne intrinsic merit of NJ. Leroux's evo-
cation Of the spirit of Italy at the time
Of Luther.
The music of the opera will not de-
tain ua long; it is neo Massenet with
out any Of the spontaneous lyric gift
possessed by the successor Of Gounod
NJ. Lcroux has remembered every
where, from Massenct, from Berlioz,
from Gounod, from half a dozen Ital-
ians The music flows along amid
perfumed banks, shallow, inconse-
qucntial, uninspircd. 1t Is distinctly
music Of the theatre, clcverly made and
httedv lacqucred and painted and
polished. There are charming bits: the
dance OF the pages in the first act,
some Of the choruses behind the
scenes; the composers orchestral
palette Is not without variety Of
colors; ne writes for the voice more
or less effectively. 1t ia the facile
talent Of the boulcyardtc concocting an
amaigam Of whipped cream, perfume,
rouge and glue, which looks very nice
and smells very nice and gives quick
attack 81 artistic Indigestion 1t would
be unkind to continue with NJ. Leroux.

U. S. Objects to Taxes
Government Says Seized Radio
Station Was Oyerxalued

TuCKERTON, N. j., Jan. 25.-The
great naval radio station here, taken
from German control in 1916, is the
subject of a tax reduction appeal by
the government. The county board Of
taxation assessed the plant at 100000.
The Navy Department now asks that
this be reduced to $225OOO.
The county assessors, in assessing the
plant, took into consideration the claims
made by the Germans at the time the
station was built, that it cost "two
milllons. Navy experts now declare
that the two million meant marks. not
dollars, which would make the cost of
the plant little less than 100000.
When the station was seized in the
summer of 1916 and taken over by the
Navy, with guard of 800 marines. \
French company was trying to enforce
IN the courts an alleged contract to
purchase the station for 100000.
