;not agree with Hobson to be suddenly

' Hobuon -hair, lomcthltit to sav about it

corded and forgotten and soon Hobson
will find some other way of breaking
- into the newspapers. It is to be re
gretted that there is no adequate way
of suppressing self appointed censors,
critics and reformers jot the Hobson,
Carrie Nation and Anthony Comstoek
type. -"Chloroform might do, but it is
rather expensive to-be used, in suffi
cient quantity.
Comrtook's Bebuk.
The would-be-saintly Anthony Corn
stock was sat on hard by Magistrate
Corrlgan the other day. but he is used
to such experiences and has become
'callous (o the most scornful rebukes.
Comstoek had arrested a man because
he had sold a small reproduction or
palottng by a famous Italian artist,
representing a nude woman resting upon
a couch. Magistrate Corrisran acquitted
the prisoner and rebuked Mr. Comstoek
for having arrested- the dealer. "From
Mr. Comstock's action," said the magis
trate "one would believe that When he
' takes a bath It shocks him to look at
himself .-bereft of clothes."
Dr.. Lyman Abbott Is a strong advo
cate of football as a developer of man
liness and courage. In a sermon to
'Yale students the other day, he said,
among other things, "You can't develop
manly courage without facing real
'perils and it is worth all it costs if
It Is necessary In order to get that
'courage. "By real perils" he meant the
perils of the gridiron. Perhaps the
learned gentleman J right, but would1
'4t not -do to use a milder and less deadly
mithod ' to develoo courage among- the
.eoHe-ff Students? Would it not doT to
put the young men to work in a dyna
mite factory, a coal mine under trust
management or, a submarine boat?
MnslOiSnd Quarrels.
The musical 'profession seems to be
a great deal more strenuous than most
people- imagine: There are alwayi
flights and quarrels mong the itausi
cinns and ' Others connected with the
profession. The Metropolitan Opera
house has been the scene of many a
battle royal between the musicians, tho
singers, the managers and the stage
employes and scarcely a week passes
without some little unpleasantness
tvlthln that temple of musical art The
. musical and perhaps racial antagonism
between the representatives oft German
and those of Italian music has been
' the cause of a great deal of trouble
at the Metropolitan. The last tilt took
t ace a few days ago and ended with
the victory of Italian opera as repre
sented by uattt-uasaxxa, now tne sole
managing director of the house. The
Germans, represented by Herr Dippel,
were worsted mot wursiea j.
Some of the society swells among the
regular patrons or the Metropolitan
have expressed the apprehension that
.this victory of the hyphenated manager
would mean the complete abandonment
of Gorman opera- at the Metropolitan.
.That would Indeed mean a great loss,
but not to the social set occupying the
boxes, but to the musical people in the
(top galleries. As to the exclusive set
in , the' boxes, they do not care a rap
for Wagner. They would much rather
Jlsten to ragtime music If it were sung
by high salaried singers of international
fame, or, still better, of international
.notoriety.
f" Wins a Diamond.
Some persons have the most wonder
ful, almost Indecent luck. They fall
into a sewer and are pulled out with
a gold watch and chain in their mouth;
they are laughed at because they bought
"some apparently worthless stock for
30 cents a share and a few days later
tne same stocK leaps up to tu a snare.
TTo that class of favorites of Dame For
tune evidently belongs the shop girl
who was robbed of her week's wages,
amounting to $10 th. other day, while
she was riding home on the B. R. T.
Strange to say, the girl carried her
.wealth in a pocket In the lower part of
'her dress. When she reached home she
found the pocketbook with the $10 gone
and in its place a big $200 diamond,
which had dropped out of the thlefs

The recent dea'tb by suffocation of
two young sisters in a poor lodging
house of the East Side was surrounded
' by unusually pathetic features. The
two girls, one. 17, the other 19 years
fild, came to the United States from
Russia to 'make a living for themselves
and, eventually, to prepare the way for
the emigration of the other members of
their family from Russia.' All day they
worked -In a sweatshop and at night
they studied English and other things.
Var themselves thev spent only enousrh
of their meager earnings to- keep them
alive; the rest they placed in a savings
bank, with a view of sending; for their
folk when their hoard had grown to
adequate proportions. Eagerly ' they
awaited the time when they could bring
about the reunion of the family and at
last they had saved enough for that
purpose. They had written a letter to
helr parents in Moscow, in which they
informed them that the money for their
Journey was ready. It was their in
tention to s6-time, the letter that it
would- reach their parents at Christmas.
The letter was never sent The other
"night one of the girls, before going to
bed. accidentally -turned on the gas in
their room and when they were .found
ia the morning both girls were dead.

The Rev. Robert' 8. McArthur of
the Calvary Baptist church in this city
deserves credit for the good sense he
as displayed in discouraging: the use
of Christmas trees by the members of
bis congregation. - The ministers of, the
country would do well to imitate the
example of Dr. McArthur, not so much
because the Christmas tree la really a
relic of pre-Christian times, but because
their influence might help to some ex

natural when a composer Is giving all
his best efforts to a certain work that It
should be uppermost in his mind, and
being so, that he should speak of it T
And speaking of It the world will hear
of It, for in these days when things

reporters hear of things almost before
they are spoken of.
LONDON NEWS OF
Arthur Alexander
The following clipping from the Mu
sical Courier, written by the London
correspondent, A. T. King, will be of lo
cal Interest. There are many who fol
low Mr. Alexander's career with Inter
est and Portland feels that he is her
own son "making good:"
"Arthur Alexander. an American
tenor, who was heard here last year,
gave a recital at Aeolian hall last Fri
day evening. That Mr. Alexander Is
also an accomplished pianist was shown
by his playing of his own accompani
ments, which gave an additional charm
to his Tendering of his program. The
program was well .arranged to show the
versatility of this singer. 'Where'er
You Walk." 'Caro Mio Ben,rand 'Una Fur.
tlva Lagrlma' for the first group, then
von Fielitz's cycle of ten songs, 'Eil-
Jand'-. a group of five French songs fol
lowed, and there were four English ones
to end the TrecitaL The critic of the
Daily Telegraph said: HIs beautiful
voice has gained greatly In color as
well as in strength, and this, combined
with- amaslng breath control and a high
sense of phrasing, make him a most
interesting singer.' ' The Referee critic
was equally complimentary: Mr. Alex
ander, an American tenor, who delighted
bis audience by the fine quality of his
voice and artistic interpretation of a
collection of songs by various com
posers, with whose intentions he always
seemed to be in sympathy.' During the
past few weeks Mr. Alexander has sung
at many private muslcales, and has
some important bookings for the winter
and summer. With the new Symphony
orchestra he will sing the tentfr part In
Berlioi" Te Deum,' and goes to Paris
with the orchestra to sing in Bantock's
Omar Khayyam,' the first Dart of which
is to be given there. In June. whenJ
ineiius- saw or uh is produced for
the first time, Mr. Alexander la to take
part. The new year will bo an im
portant one for this singer, for early in
January he la to be married to a young
lady , from Portland, Or. The honey

one's optimistic nature good. To t-e
sure, the audience is so much made m
of people who do not often have op
portunity to attend concerts that they
have noiyet learned the value of si
lence. But even -that-you ran br
with patience when you recall that
these concerts are educational and thnt
they are the first lessons to many of
the auditors. , '
The orchestra of 105 pieces Is com
posed almost entirety of amateur play
ers and many of them have never be
fore this year played in an orchestra.
Thus It is a vital good to them. But
the work does not sound distinctly am
ateurish. Mr. Spltmer possesses the
quality of being able to get the best
Out of his young players. More thurv
that he does not essay anything that
Is - beyond them. -The programs - are
good, but modest Last, week's pro-
fram ' was well played from beginning
a end. There were plenty of encores
called for. A laudtbte feature was the
cutting down of the number of solo
ists. Usually an Instructor cannot re
sist the temptation to Introduce as so
loists on such a program all who are
able to squeak an air unsupported. f This
year Mr. Spltsner presented two only
Miss Velross Sharp and Miss Nina
Nicklin. The latter has given solos at
a number of these concerts and ia a
clever young girl. Miss Sharp shows
marked ability. The accompanists were
Miss Dorothy Frazer and Miss Alicia
MacElroy. . ,
Miss Oena Branscombe, head of the
piano department in the Whitman Con
servator of Music and a composer whose
compositions have been recognised by
the best musicians of the country, gave
a composer's recital to a crowded house
In the 'college chapel Friday evening.
She was assisted by Professor A. C.
Jackson baritone. Miss Nina Markley
at the pipe organ. Professor Roy Wil
liams on the violin and Mrs. Henri
Appy, soprano. This was the first
recital of its kind ever given In this
city and was one of the best ever heard
In Walla Walla Miss Branscombe has
shown good taste In the selection of
the poems which she has set to music.
She has gone to the Brownings for
some of her best, such as "Marching
Along." from the Cavalier Tunes," and
the song cycle, "Love In a Life," from
tho Portuguese sonnets. Miss Brans
combe has also written her own words.
One of the most charming numbers of
Friday night's program was "March
Suisse," written only last summer on
the occasion of Miss Branscombe's visit
to Zurich, Switzerland, on the eve of
a great national festival. "March
Suisse" Is a trio for pipe organ, violin
and piano, and was rendered with
charming grace and effectiveness.
