With the exception of Tschaikow-

are better religious chants in ex-
istence than those presented yes
terday. Practically every great Rus
sian composer made his contribution
to that field. There was no reason
why such poor composition as
A. Donizettis Ave Maria" should
have had place on a Russian pro-
gram. Also there are many Russian
dance tunes superior to Fogel's

neither Those Evening Bells" nor

characteristic value. The red lights
featured in the former and the blue

was in no way Objectionable, one
could take exception to the type of

chants, folk songs and fiery dances,
included several cheap ballads.

year against diphtheria, tuberculosis
and typhoid fever-but took a ter
rible beating from measles.
There were 100 fewer cases of
typhoid, 19 fewer OF diphtheria and
292 fewer of tuberculosis than in
1888, a years survey by the State
Department of Health disclosed.
But there were more than $4,000
cases of measles, as compared with
1850 in 1888.
There were nearly $4,000 cases of
sickness from "notiflable" diseases
reported to the department in 1899,
as compared with more than $4,000
in 1888 and $4,000 in 1887.
The increase over last year, DR..
Robert H. Riley, director, said, was
due the periodical epidemics of
measles and "fare-ups of in
