Oscar Seagle. barytone, gave recital
OF songs last evening in the Town Hall.
His programme was chiefly OF lyrics
from the rich repertory OF France. but
the Anal group comprised numbers by
Gatty. II. o. Osgood, Richard Hageman
and Lillian Strickland. Mr.. seasie, who
is an established fayorite In this city,
had a large audience, and his singing
received much and hearty applause.
1t might be profitable to many OF the
thousands of students of vocal art now
laboring here TO listen to the singing OF
Mr.. Seagle. Few artists have such COM
mand of tone and all It's gradations as
ha has. His voice Is not one or pom
derous weight nor of great natural briii-
ianoy. But 1t has a singularly agreeable
quality, light aerial and floating, ana
this is heightened by o skill IN tone
production and III breath manasement
which belong only to an artist OK hne
accomplish
Much of the beauty OF Mr.. Seasie's
delivery rests on his knowledge or heao
tone and his skill In carrying II down
Tar into the medium and blending u
with the lower notes. His diction is
easy ard natural, neat and not over
drawn In the matter of style he Is quito
a master. He sings French songs per-
haps not exactly as a consummate
French chanteur would sing them. but
In a manner which creates charming
Illusion. There are grace and sentiment
In his style and these are what one
finds In most OF the songs.
If Mr. Seagle seems at times to want
deeper notes of emotional utteranoe. one
must remember that the songs do not
possess them. In the eleven French
lyrics on his list not one was without
poetic quality and not one disturbed
the equanimity of the hearers mind.
They commanded ;iniration and LEFT
one unmoved. Mr.. 5 gle could not put
into them what d i'd belong to them.
He sang them beautifully. as beaud-
fully as they We're made. and that is
all that can be expected of any singer.
The accompaniments were well played
by Hector Dansereau.

But If there were such desire
there could be no hope that this
country could collect the total OF It's
war costs or even a respectable part
OF them from Germany or from any
body. Not only are we making no
claim in the way Of reparation pay
ments, but also the desirable terri
tory taken from Germany has been
acquired by mandatory Powers other
than the United States.
All this. it is stoutly maintained by
the defenders OF the Treaty of yer-
sailles and by It's benefciaries, has
been done strictly In accordance with
the provisions of that pact. If SO,
then the only unappropriated privi-
lcge under the treaty is the fright"

OF the League OF Nations for the

Buy American Paintings.
An Artist Points to q Pleasant Form
Of Patriotism.

To THE New YORK HERALD: A noble
amount OF work Is now being done in
the way Of Americanization. There is
however. kind of Americanization
which Is not making the progress IL
should. at least among men and women
in high places.
For instance, wonder how many
paintings by American artists are owned
by our former President and the erst-
while Cabinet and how many are owned
by the present Cabinet and governing Of
fcers or by Senators or Representatives
in Congress or BY Governors OF States
II we gave tithe OF the support to
our school OF painting that Great Brit
ain has given 20 her school we would
be doing something for our talented
people and something for our country.

In the Rain.

From the Kansds City Star
The pavement glistens in the rain
Like long mirror down the street
Tn 1t I see the broken clouds
And lacy treetops weave and meet
I seem to walk among the boughs
And tangled clouds and bits OF Sky;
A lamp post. with It's floating globes,
Across my pathways seems to lie.
A bulbous pirdnest on a limb
The mirrored people passing by
A dog that drips and picks its way
A tall house wall that towers hign
Show in the mirror and are lost;
And with me through the dripping
Goes a long image just like me
That walks the pavement upside down
The pavement glistens In the rain
Like long mirror down the street,
1t is a magic thing to me
Wherein the real and unreal meet
A pathway winding through the oougns
And walls aud gables Of the town.
And funny people like myself
That hurry past me upside down.

DR.. DUNNEIL, aside from his duties

practically every family. 1t was IN
this way that he met w1LLrAM NJ.

career of both. TWEED was pupil
In the school held at All Saints. To

rectory. 1t isa tradition Of All Saints
that TWEED, although fugitive, at
tended the funeral service OF his
mother in the church. In order that
he might do this the funeral was held
in the middle OF the night. TWEED,
according to tradition. crossed the
East River in q rowboat, slipped into
the. gallery of the church and from
there followed the rites. At the con-
clusion Of the ceremony, seeing an
officer Of the law awaiting him, he es-
capped through window and regained
his hiding place.
Although the locality changed
greatly In character and most of the
families Of his early parishioners
moved away, DIR. DUNNELL remained
up to the time Of his retirement faith
full to his duties at All Saints. 1t
was a pleasing custom In the old
church that members of many Of
these old families to the third or

The Right to Kill the Doomed

A problem Of interest to students
Of ethics and Of law found one Off
cial answer In Belgian court re-
Gently. A girl having shot heiself
in the head, her lover, seeing that
she was dying but in great pain,
killed her and then shot himself. He
recovered and was tried for muir
der. On the testimony OF experts
that the wound inflicted by the girl
herself would have been fatal, the
defendant was acquitted
1t happens that the same problem,
although In a case quite dissimilar,
has been answered in the opposite
way by an American court. 1t was
the case upon which MELVILLE DA-
VISION PosT founded his story OF
'The Man In the Green Hat" A man
mortally wounded by an assassin
drew his pistol and shot himself
through the brain. The assassin was
convicted Of murder in the lower
court, but the verdict was overturned
on appeal, the crux Of the opinion
being as follows:
THE intervening responsible agent
who wrongfully accelerates death is
guilty OF the murder. and not the
one who in.iieted the first injury.
though In itself mortal.
The problem is one that can have
but two possible answers, and here,
in the Belgian and American cases,
we have them both. Very likely there
would be the same division In a dis
pute among the doctors of ethics.

Those Costly "Good Fellows y

The long strong arm OF the Miller
economy plan, which has SO far
brought the State budget about $12,-
100000 below last years expendi-
lures, has had to be, merciless tow
ard even those job holders who might
be called the Benevolent Idle.
Two thousand men, whose only
recommendation for Office was that
they are good fellows" in the sight
Of some political boss, have been
drawing about 100000 a year from
the State. They are of class which
has been so familiar IN politics since
ANDY JACKsoN's time that even the
ordinary reformers have come to
take them for granted. They are
secretaries who never write or read,
superintendents with nothing to over
see, bureau heads without bureaus
The title never matters, so long as
the holder is paid and does not have
to work.
The "good fellows" who have held
these sinecures are TO be separated
from the payroll, thanks to Governor
MILLERs desire to bring the expenses
OF this State back to sanity. The
"good fellows" ought to do well In
other fields A man who is so clever
that he can make great State pay
him for doing nothing ought TO be
able to find an employer who will
compensate such genius when 1t Is
directed into active channels.
No Governor Of New York has ever
before cut down until he touched the
politicians nerves. For that matter.
no President of the United States
has done 1t. No Mayor Of this town,
whether he was Tammany or Fusion,
has done 1t. The "good fellows" of
the preceding administration were
sometimes put out, but other and
more plous or polite good fellows
took their Jobs. The sinecure was
never abolished and 1t always found
an occupant.
What Governor MILLER is doing In
this State may be of interest and
value to the heads of other States
that have suffered from similar para
site diseases Of the payroll. It GER
tainly should attract attention In
Washington. The Federal Govern
ment has been the victim, particu-
larly since the first days Of the war,
OF more good fellow graft than ever
had been visited upon the Treasury.
If the President should direct each
department head and that head In
turn command the chiefs Of his bu-
reaus 10 strike from the payrollS
every Federal employee whose ser
vices are not indispensable to the
Government. what a slaughter and
saving there would be! The cries OF
the fallen job holders and their
aggrieved godfathers would be loud,
but the cheers OF the taxpayers would
drown them.
AS for New York city's civil list,
We can hardly expect the Mayor, the
Comptroller or the Borough Presi.
dents to take pattern after Governor
MILLER. 1t would be a confession
that they had gone more than three
years without doing what they should
have done. But there will be a city
election next fall, and the incoming
Mayor viii have the opportunity tc
clean up the payrolls after the In
spring manner OF the fearless Gov
ernor MILLER.
