Sunset.

From, the Kansas City Star.
Across the western sky the gold-edged
clouds
Stand, like huge mountains that their
outlines shift,
While in the east a twilight arch appears
And tips with crimson bridal wells that
drift
Across the pale moons face.
The suns last fiery lance now pierces
through ...
The clouds and like mist the twilight
creeps,
Flooding the valleys. climbing to the
hills
Night spreads the couch where weary
Nature sleeps:
The sun has left no trace.
Now, while the bright moon rides mid
starry isles,
And sheds it's borrowed light upon the
earth.
We know the sun has never really set.
But for days death the night would
have no birth
So rule the laws of space.
And when our souls have crossed the
mystic line
Where lie beyond the Blessed Isles OF
Light,
Though we are gone, perhaps our lives
may shed
Some rays to pierce the gloom OF some-
ones night
Till time shall them erase.

Mime. CALI Curci Sings Her Farewell
Brdlike Notes Heard as She Gives Final Concert ol
the Season

Nine. Ameiita Galli-Curci, having
some time ago given her concluding re-
cital at the Hippodrome. gave her final
song concert of the season last evening
in Carnegie Hall. Promises had been
made that the programme would be Of
character different from thatNof the
entertainments further downtown, and
these promises were faithfully observed.
Operatic airs were omitted, but the de-
voted flute continued its services. 1t
was heard in two airs by Bishop. the
Echo Song and "Lo. Here the Gentle
Lark"
The latter stood Mt the end OF the
programme but might well have been
at the beginning as a fitting prelude to
what was to follow, for it was like the
gentle lark that Nine. Galli-Curci sang
her perfectly poised way through list
OF songs, I'm which the name Of Homer
Samuels appeared twice and that of
Fourdrain four times. There was also
a group of bergerettes and pastorals
from the treasury Of the eighteenth CEN
tury. selected and arranged by the In
defatigable Weckerlin.
Though the popular soprano had sung
industriously through a long season Of
opera and concert. her voice was in ex-
cellent condition. The storm and stress
OF "Dinorah" and La Sonnambula"
had in no way impaired its limpidity and
1t flowed peacefully like a woodland
stream. The audience was OF good size.
but there were some unoccupied seats
and no struggle in the lobby for admis-
sion. Homer Samuels, husband Of the
distinguished prima donna, performed
the accompaniments upon pianoforte.

Coal Prices.
Government Fixed Costs Blamed for
the Present Situation.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Noting
Come Down and the intimaton con-
veyed that "war initiation prices still
prevail" would say that the imitation
of coal prices has been pretty thor
oughly eliminated.
Last year, as the records show, while
the company prices were not advanced
above $50 or some such figure for
stove coal. there was independent tom
mage sold in the anthracite market as
high as st4 a ton at the mines. In the
bituminous market large producers were
getting S14 or even SIS a ton. Now the
Independent premium on anthracite is
but nominal. There is probably no coal
being sold a. high as 50 ton at tie
mines. and the soft coal producers who
were selling at high prices last year are
probably glad to take $3.50 now.
So you see defiation has gone far in
the coal trade and the standard prices
which possibly you take exception TO
are based upon such features of freights
and wages established by and under
governmental sanction that they are not
to be lightly set aside.
Certainly In view of the amount OF
tonnage sold daily at or below cost
your suggestion that the public should
disregard Senator Elkins's warning is ill
advised. Those who do not buy early
will regret delay. Il. w. SAwARD.

Hope for Fifth Avenue.
Steps Taken to Eliminate Some oi
the Unnecessary Noises.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In regard
to the letter signed "a Sympathizer'
and entitled Fifth Avenue Din Worse
we desire to say that the Fifth Avenue
Association has for some time past beon
endeavoring to obtain from the Police
Commissioner an ordinance which would
prohibit commercial vehicles on Fifth
avenue south of 105th street during the
night hours.
This application was determined upon
by us after many Investigations had
been made by members of our staff be-
tween the hours OF IL midnight and in
the morning. The Police Commissioner
in cooperation with us and at our re-
quest assigned at different times various
squads of police to prevent this un-
necessary noise and has finally con-
Cured in our views that these vehicles
should be eliminated. Therefore a
proposed ordinance-is now in the hands
of the Corporation Counsel and 1t is
expected that II will be presented by
him to the Board of Aldermen for pas
sage at an early date. We anticipate
that no objections will be raised In CIV
ing the people of this section this much
needed relief.
AS a further aid In reducing unnec-
essary noises, not alone during the
night but also during the day. this as
sociatlon fathered the Simpson-Dono-
hue bill which was passed at the last
session of the Legislature and became
a law on March Is last, and which re-
quires motor vehicles to be provided with
adequate brakes and steering mechan-
Ism and a suitable muffier to prevent
unnecessary noise from exhaust gases
and prohibits the use OF cutouts and
horns or signalling devices making un-
necessarily loud or harsh sounds. This
law has now become one OF the regula-
tions OF the Police Department, and the
Police Commissioner has advised us
that orders have been issued and the
proper steps taken to put an end to
many OF the harsh and unnecessary
noises caused by various types OF horns
or other signalling devices.

Forest Protection Week.

Cooperation with those who are en-

Of an appeal by Secretary Of Agricul-

New York as an Easy Mark.

The untlring Lockwood Committee,
having sent, one group of contractor
crooks to Jail, now throws on the
screen a new and equally interesting
picture of other graft. In this film
the city Is the direct victim.
In the first reel we find contrac-
tor undertaking to build a city hos
pital for $557,00O. He sublets the
contract to others. gathers in $34s, 900
in payments from the city, and then
defaults on the contract
In the second reel this contractor is
observed releasing the sub-contractors
from their obligation. A city official
helps along the game by permitting
the sub-contractors to be released.
The third reel exhibits the default
ing contractor engineering new con-
tract with the city for the completion
of the hospital which he had aban-
doned, doing it in the name of some
body else but arranging to share the
profit to be obtained from the city
through his own default.
The fourth reel shows the same
contractor, after going through the
process of bankruptcy and thinly dis
guising himself under a corporation
name, stepping up and getting large
contracts from city officials who knew
Of his conduct in the hospital affair.
Perhaps they did things little
more roughly in TwEEDs time, but
they did not do them with much more
vicious effect.
Thanks to the Lockwood Commit
tee and its able counsel the Cumber-
land Street Hospital scandal Is one
that will not have TO await investi-
CATION by the legislative committee.
1t has produced the evidence with
which the District Attorney of Kings
county can go straight to work.
The city has had another illustra-
tion of shameful conditions In the
building business and In politics, of
the astuteness of SAM UNTERMyER
and of the need of a general house
cleaning in New York.
