Mans Belt Line.

A recent English visitor returned
home and wrote an article for one Of
the British magazines criticizing the
slimness of the waists OF Americas
young men. He expressed fear that
this country was drifting away from
sturdy old physical standards.
Miss AMELIA BINGHAM, in a Phila-
delphia lecture, went the other way.
She declared that men should wear
corsets to avoid slouchiness; trim
ness" she said, "is desirable in men
as we'll as in women"
The English writer was deceived
by the tight belted coats that recently
were in vogue. Miss BINGHAM also
is mistaken. Men with globular out
lines do not need corsets. What they
lack is training. No man who stands
upright and holds his chest out and
his waist in takes on obesity.
A man who keeps trying to fill
out his belt should throw the belt
away and return to suspenders. But
the woman who tells men to wear
corsets is as wrong as the man who
tells women not to.

der the big planet Neptnne and in the
Missouri earthquake before passing
under the big planet Saturn and the
earthquake and volcanic conditions due
about April were predicted in THE

Although nobody has predicted the
exact date and locality OF an earthquake

simple matter to predict earthquake and
volcanic conditions Therefore as the
earth will pass under the biggest planet.

in the boat in volcanic and earthquake
localities, especially between, now and
April z, because Jupiter is being hard

Negro Minstrelsy.
White Performers of Blackface
Comedy Put I'm First Place.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your
correspondent who signs himself Negro"
makes mistake in taking issue with
Herbert s. Renton on the comparative
merits of white men and negroes as
blackface performers.
The greatest and most original negro
delinerator I have ever seen was John
Mulligan, formerly with Hooley's Min
strels In Brooklyn and later with the
San Francisco Minstrels at 5S5 Broad
way. New York. John Hart Of the old
Theatre Comique at 514 Broadway was
another fine performer. The greatest
blackface comedians with plantation
songs and dances were Delehanty and
Hengler. The most interesting acrobatic
song and dance artists were Lamont and
Ducrow, with their real Southern spe-
ciaIty ''The Happy Hottentots." in which
they dressed completely in black tights.
Many more could be mentioned. There
is none on the stage to-day to compare
with them.
There we're a few negro performers,
such as williams and Walker, but they
ought never to be considered the equal of
the large number OF white delineators OF
negro character who had their beginning
with e. p. Christy and his Ministries; he
1t is justly asserted, organized the first
minstrel show in 1s42. They first APP
peared In New York at Palmos Opera
House In Chambers street in 1s46. but It
was at Mechanics Hall. 472 Broadway.
that Christys Minstrels became famous,
appearing there in 1s47 and remaining
until 1854.

ny w. ). HENDERSON.

The program or Italian music which
the Schola Cantorum under Kurt
Schindler's direction offered in Carnegie
Hall last evening consisted OF two of
Verdis four sacred piecese written in
1898, namely, the "Stabat Mater and
the "Te Deum," Ildebrando Pizzettfs
Lament for the Death OF Hyppolitos"
on text by D'Annunzio, and francesca
Malipiero's saint Francis of Assist"
or these the second Verdi piece. and the
Pizzetti composition were new here,
while Malipiero's work was given for
the first time anywhere.
Verdi may be permitted to rest on his
laurels for the moment. The place OF
honor must be accorded to the last
number on the list which addressed
itself to its first public audience. 1t is
divided into four episodes. first, the adj
dress OF ST. Francis to his flock on the
excellence Of poverty; second. the SER
mon to the birds: third, the supper or
st. Francis and st. Chiara, and fourth.
the death of st. Francis.
The text of the first section begins
with the familiar passage from st. Mat
thew containing the words. Sell all that
thou hast and give to the poor" This
passage contains the fundamental doc
trine of the Franciscan order. Then fol-
lows text from the Canzone della Pow
erta Of Jacopo da Todi. The sermon to
the birds and the third scene are from
the "Fioretti'' of st. Francis. The final
scene is taken from the life OF the saint
by Bonaventura. MalipIero told Mr..
SCHNEIDER that he even dreamed of scenic
setting for his work; but that appeared
to be impracticable.

and an orchestra of full modern dimen-

appreciation of the character of his text
determined him to give his music a
medieval color In spite of its modern
apparatus. The melodic substance,
therefore, is created out of the Gre
gorian materials and the harmonies are
rigidly archaic. often barking back to
the style Of the first crude experiments
denominated "Organum" by Hucbald.
1t would be natural to expect that
such work, enjoying its first per-
Torrance, would furnish material for
extended and perhaps even important
comment, but precisely the contrary is
the case. Signor Malipiero's text is i'm
meaSurably better than his music. He
has written much lugubrious declama-
ton for the solo barytone and with this

The chorus had no extraordinary mat
ter to present. unless ono might apply
the term extraordinary to the cries of
alarm uttered when st. Francis was
supposed to be in burning church.
Such music can inspire nothing but re-
gret that choral art has fallen to SO low
an estate in the land OF Carissimi
The orchestra makes a great parade
OF devices in this work, but the melodic
materials which the confusion OF sounds
cannot conceal. are threadbare rem

AS the country gets nearer and
nearer to midnight of tomorrow, the
zero hour when the clock is set for
the nationwide coal strike, some Of
the clouds clear.
JOSEPH p. RYAN, vice-president Of
the International Longshoremen's
Association, says that his union has
not voted against handling foreign
coal coming to our ports during the
strike and that his attitude in the
matter has not yet been determined.
Anyhow, declare the steamship
men, coal carrying ships can be I'M
loaded almost entirely by machinery,
so that it would make little differ
ence whether the longshoremen re-
fused to handle the coal or not, as in
any event few of them would get the
chance to touch 1t.
AS for the union seamen who
would object to transporting foreign
coal in American bottoms, the United
States Shipping Board for one Is not
concerned about that phase OF the
matter, because there are plenty of
It's ships on which prevails the open
shop. There will be American bot
toms, therefore, to bring over the
foreign coal cargoes. although the
British engineers lockout bothers
the English ships.
Meanwhile, checkup OF the sur
plus bituminous coal supply shows
there were 5S,000,000 tons in storage
on March /, with an indicated extra
supply at present to carry the coun-
try for some two months. But that
isn't all the coal ahead Of consumers
after the strike begins. While the
strike is on the 100000 non-unioh
miners of the country will be
turning out the bituminous product
for the railroads and for general in
dustry as they never turned out coal
before.
On the whole, the union coal miners
could hardly go into nationwide
strike under conditions more unfavor-
able to their cause.

active life was an unbroken record
of distinguished public service.
Although EpwARD EvERETr HALE's
other literary productions have been
far reaching in their wholesomely
stimulating influence, none OF them
evoked SO instant and widespread a
response as did that indirect but soul
stirring appeal to national sentiment,
1.-THE Man Without Country" and
none commands to-day the attention
1t receives. Published at the out
break OF the civil war, when faith
in the Republics enduring stability
was shaken to the foundations, this
vivid portrayal Of man banished
from his native land stirred mems
minds as no utterance even of those
stormy days had done before. AS
long as American literature serves
American nationalism "The Man
Without Country" will remain one
of it's classics.
The publication Of this inspired
masterpiece was turning point in
DR.. HALE's life. From that year on
to the end he was national figure.
Then the war came along" said he,
speaking Of 1861, land that brought
me into public life, and / never got
back to parish life again." He died
in harness, for on his death on June
20, 1909. he was the chaplain Of the
United States Senate.
