more significant and important texts which are changed with the seasons and bear some direct relation to the day on which the mass is held. But because they have not been written as elaborately by the modern composer we find that they are omitted altogether. In the Gregorian music these are all represented with the importance due to them. "But, above all, it is for the return to the original position of the priest, the celebrant of the mass, as the precentor of the congregation, that we should be thankful to the Gregorian chant. It will make it possible for the people to sing all the music, and we shall have the voice of the priest singing the opening words of the liturgy and the psalms, and the congregation joining him and singing with him the parts of the liturgy that fall to the people."

But the business of dressing if, on this occasion, simple enough, for the apparel donned Is only a single thin shirt and a "linkanm," or short divided skirt.

MYSTERY OF GIRL'S DEATH Killed By Running? In Front Of A Freight Trnin. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Richmond, Jan. 24. W.

L. Price was today held in $300 bond to be present in the Police Court tomorrow morning in connection with the death of Miss Nannie Webster, who was killed by a freight train on the Seaboard Air Line last night. Miss Webster, who was exceedingly pretty, was a waitress in a local restaurant, having come here some months ago from Amelia county. Young Price had been paying her devoted attention. Some of her girl companions say that the dead young woman told them that Price several times threatened to kill her if she did not consent to marry him, and that Christmas Eve, when she opened the window of her bedroom, he was outside with a pistol.

Another circumstance regarded as peculiar is that Price was introduced to the girl under the name of Steinbach. He now explains that'this was a joke, but it seems that Miss Webster thought up to a short time before her death that this was his real name. At the same time tnere is no reason to believe that Trice was responsible for Miss Webster's death. Morris, the watchman at the crossing, is firml of the opinion that she committed suicide, but the testimony of Price and others goes to show that she met her death accidentally, stumbling in front of the engine as she was endeavoring to run across so as to avoid being held up by a long freight train. Price, who came here from Mount Airy, N.

and who is employed as a bookkeeper, said today that there was no quarrel between him and the girl. "We were laughing as we came down the hill to the track," he said. "She stooped under the gate and crossed to the track. It was all over in a moment before I could move toward her." When Price was asked whether he intended to marry the girl, he said he was paying her attention. WEST VIRGINIA APPEALS Number Of Decisions Handed Down By The Supreme Court.

Francis Xavier's. Father Young, musical head of St. Francis Xavier's Church, New York, and professor of music in the Jesuit College, recently put in effect a scheme on which he had been working for six weeks, says the New York Sun. At a vesper service In honor of the fea.st of the Immaculate Virgin the music was of a kind to correspond exactly with the requirements contained in a letter f.f Pius X. There were Gregorian vespers by the boys' choir, polyphonic singing by the men's choir, who chanted two motets, and finally singing of the psalms In Gregorian form by the congregation of 1,200 men.

These wre the alumni of the college who had attended the service. Of course such a special congregation could not always be gathered. Father Young was delighted with the result, for it helped to prove his optimistic theory that American choirs and congregations can be taught to sing the kind of music In which Pope Pius wants to hear, them. Father Youns believes that Gregorian music and congregational singing could be restored to their places in the Roman Catholic Church fully within ten years and partly within five years If this kind of singing were taught in the parochial schools. He has stood for that principle for years and has advocated it with great enthusiasm since Pius expressed his wishes on the subject of ecclesiastical music.

The letter of the commission appointed by Archbishop Farley to decide just what reforms the Pope desired and to make plain the duty of the parishes in this diocese was read in the churches on September 25. It consisted of three parts. The first interpreted the meaning of the Pope's order, the second named the existing abuses which should be abolished, and the third recommended the kind of music to be sud-stltuted for that in use at present. "These recommendations were binding on every parish," Father Young said yesterday, "but I don't believe that they have made any difference in their services. All are required to do so, however, and in every case individual dispensation had to be obtained from the Archbishop.

Some of the churches received permission to wait until December, others until January 1. I know personally of but three parishes in the diocese in which the new rules have been put in practice. They are followed here at St. Francis Xavier's and at our up-town mission and In the Cathedral. "It was impossible for the churches at this season of the year to change their choirs and to get rid, for Instance, of the women singers.

Their contracts usually end on May 1. Boy choirs capable of 6inging the Gregorian music could not be found. They have to be trained. In the meantime those churches which have received dispensations are all bound In conscience to make their present musical services conform as much as possible with their present facilities to the instructions in the commission's letter." Although there has been little change so far in the character of the liturgical music in the Catholic churches in New York, Father Young believes that the next work of the commission will have its effect in changing the character of the music. It is to compile a species of Index expurgatorius, which will contain the names of all the masses, vespers and offertories which are specifically excluded.

There exists at present a prohibition against certain of the more frivolous and theatrical music, which has not always been observed as strictly in all churches as at St. Francis Xavier's. This list includes masses by Mozart and Haydn, as well as by some of the modern and sentimental Italian composers of music who follow the operatic styles. Even Gounod, who can alternate amorous emotion and ascetic feeling, has been excluded as a whole, although parts of his masses are allowed. "I am very much encouraged by the success I have had with my boys In the parochial school," Father Young said yesterday, "and I am more than ever convinced that every reform desired by the Pope could be brought about if the children were now taught the Gregorian chant in our Catholic schools.

I am not able, however, to make even the authorities share my views on this subject. "The view of most persons is that the ideas of the Holy Father are beyond realization, whereas I know that they could be readily made a part of the church's life if only the singing that he wants to hear were taught to the children when they first enter the schools. "The Pope desires to see congregational singing ultimately restored to its place In the churches, and that will also be possible within 10 years it the authorities can be made to see the importance of introducing the study of music into the parish schools, and where there is no parochial school, by forming choral societies in every parish." Optimistic as Father Young Is, he admits that there are difficulties to be overcome at the outset. "The material is very poor," he said yesterday, "and I have found here in my own school very little to encourage a teacher to begin on. I was glad of that, however, for it showed how much my even under difficulties, could accomplish.

I have taken the boys while they are very young, and before they have acquired many bad faults of speech. Twice a week I give them a lesson of three-quarters of an hour, or that is done by the lady who assists me. She was asked to come up to the Cathedral to help them to introduce the study of Gregorian singing into the parochial school there, but there Is too much to be done down here. "I should never waste five minutes on teaching this singing in the schools if I did not think it is the only means of accomplishing a wonderful result. From class to class, from the time they enter the school, the students can be carried further along In the study of music until in their last years they may be able to learn even the Latin texts of the Psalms and the responses.

Within a decade, If this plan were put into effect, we should not only have all the materials for the choirs, but we should see the prie6ts starting the Psalms and the music of the mass and all the congregations singing together just as they did before the liturgical music became corrupted." Father Young does not contemplate teaching the more ornate music to the choirs at present, although that might come ultimately, once this method of singing has been fully restored. "I should not teach polyphonic singing to the boy choirs," he said, "but simple Gregorian chant in unison. They learn, I find, the diatonic Intervals very easily and have no difficulties with the time. But I would not risk teaching the polyphonic singing, because I do not want to be dependent on one or two boys.v I am aware that to introduce this into all the parochial schools It will, be necessary to have more teachers, and I have already worked out a plan by which enough could be taught to carry the Instruction everywhere. "Every Saturday we could teach here the nuns and priests who are occupied on other days In the schools.

All should attend these instructions. Those who are musical would learn more rapidly than others, but all could get enough knowledge of the music to teach it to their pupils. Those who were needed outside of the city could go to those schools to teach the Gregorian singing In other places until their own teachers were able to come to New York and learn the principles of the chant. "The music of the liturgy is so important to Catholics that it ought to be taught daily in our parochial schools, even If It were necessary to lengthen the hours. If that cannot be done, the lessons should be given at least twice a week and made to last from half to three-quarters of an hour." Father Young believes that the restoration of the Gregorian chant will alone make the relation between the liturgy and the music what it used to be before the conception of the later composers placed a wholly disproportionate importance on the musical part of the services.

"The music accompanying the mass," he said, "bears in a measure the same relation to the liturgy that the score of an opera does to the libretto. They are inseparable, yet one illustrates the other. How all this has changed since the music was made more important than the mass itself may be understood from the importance placed now on the Gloria in Excelsls. It is a part of the liturgy which may be removed, and is, indeed, compulsory only In double parts. But the composers all devoted themselves to the Gloria, making It one of the brilliant numbers of the mass.

Consequently we never find that the Gloria is omitted. "In th? introit and gradual many Oh. you. who gaze on fading sunset skies, With dream enkindled eyes, Aglow with ecstasy, Do not those crystal deeps reveal to you The secret of eternity That in their perishing, frail glory lies The one truth wholly true Though all things perish, Beauty never dies. For Beauty fades not with the fading hour, Nor withers with the flower, Nor passes with the dream Though death should take the whole earth In his net.

He may not snare the starry gleam. Nor hold the soul of Beauty In his power. Yea, though time's sun should set. And all things perish. Beauty never dies.

Imperishable Beauty trembles through The frailness of the dew; In flickering, white foam, And in the iris of the stormy bow Awhile she dwells and hath her home Beneath our earthly skies of mortal blue. They fade yet this we know Though all things perish, Beauty never dies. For ever fugitive, before our eyes, From form to form she flies We deem her dead when she Doth flash again upon our mazed sight la some new living ecstasy Of bloom, or love lit face, or sunset skies, Or star enchanted night. Though all things perish, Beauty never dies. With her alone is Immortality For yet men reverently Adore within her shrine.

The sole immortal time hath not cast down, She wields a power yet more divine Than when of old she rose from out the sea Of night, with starry crown. Though all things perish, Beauty never dies. London Dailji Xeics. SCIENCE NOTES Cause Of Diphtheria. Diphtheria i3 a widespread disease, which is perhaps more prevalent in large towns than in country districts.

It is to be classed among the infectious fevers, and it certainly is one of the most dangerous of them all. It Is most frequently met with among children, but adults are by no means exempt. The real cause of the disease is now known to be a minute germ somewhat resembling a rod in shape when seen under a very high magnifying power. This germ causes severe inflammation of the lining membrane of the throat, nose, eye, or Indeed of any part of the body with which It comes in contact. It has also the special power of forming a tough and very adherent membrane.

It is this membrane which causes so much of the danger connected with the disease, as it blocks up the windpipe and so prevents the natural ingress and egress of air to and from the chest. The germ of diphtheria Is exceedingly difficult to destroy. It is therefore very virulent, and no ordinary disinfectant has the power of completely exterminating It. This fact must be carefully borne in mind, as on it depends the great importance of exercising the most stringent measures with regard to disinfection, both during the course of and after recovery from an attack of diphtheria. Scotsman.

Better Engineering, On examining the foreign locomotives exhibited at the World's Fair and comparing them with the American engines, the thing that is most noticeable at first is the extreme lightness of the reciprocating and revolving parts. The piston and connecting rods in particular look excessively light in comparison with those we are accustomed to seeing on locomotives of the same size In this country. An investigation, however, ehows that much care and study have been given to making these parts as light as possible, and that metal of the highest strength has been used for the purpose of reducing weight. On the two German locomotives where this lightness is most noticeable, the rods are made from nickel steel having an ultimate tensile strength of over 250,000 pounds per square inch, and the crosshead of cast steel has a proportionately high strength. The detrimental effects of heavy reciprocating parts, which It is impossible to accurately balance at high speeds, is well known by all practical railroad men, and the resulta of their use can be seen on the track us well as on the locomotive Itself.

It is costing a large sura every year to keep up repairs for which the unbalanced weights on a locomotive are chiefly to blame. The German designers have recognised this fault and remedied It as far as possible bv using the very latest and strongest material, but the practice still continues in this country to get strength from slzo instead of from better material, and every heaviest timple engine is worse than the previous one. Railway and Engineering Uevieic. Symptoms Of Diphtheria. The largest number of cases of diphtheria are those in which the back of the throat is affected.

In such cases the disease conies on in a most insidious manner. The patient Is out of sorts and does not care for food. Still he may mot appear to be really 111. There may or may not be slight soreness of the throat, especially on swallowing. These initial symptoms continue for a day or two, and theu the patient becomes restless and feverish.

The pulse becomes rapid and the tongue is covered with a dirty fur. On examination of the throat the tonsils are seen to be red and swollen, while patches of grayish white membrane varying In size and shape are noticed adhering to them. These patches of membrane may also be found on the roof of the mouth and back of the throat. Wherever they occur they are, always characterized by their firm adhesion to the underlying tissues. The glands in the neck may be somewhat enlarged and painful, especially In the severer forms of the disease.

If the case Is untreated the membrane spreads until It invades the lining of the nasal passages and of the windpipe. When the latter becomes involved the patient's voice Is reduced to a- whisper, and the breathing resembles that of croup. Presently he becomes extremely breathless, and the face becomes dusky as the blood is improperly aerated. If the patient is not speedily relieved death will rapidly ensue from suffocation or from heart failure. The Scotsman.

Examinations And Scholarships. Examinations in science do not find favor with Sir William Ramsay, who spoke on the subject In an address before the recent meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry. "I have often met," he said, "successful investigators who had abstained from circumstance or through choice from taking a degree, but I have more often come dn contact with graduates whose only claim to recognition wire a parrot-like ability to repeat what had 1eeu told them and a knack.in gauging the idiosyncrasies of an examiner." Assistance to deserving students should be granted on some other basis than proficiency in passing examinations. Oue reason for this is that engineering is an applied science In which success depends very largely on Judgment as well as on learning. Molasses Tank Steamers.

Nowadays there are tank steamers plying between Atlantic and the Gulf ports which carry molasses from March to October, and oil the remainder of the year, the molasses being more economically pumped in the warm weather. By bartering down the hatches after discharging a cargo of oil it is possible to thoroughly steam out the hold, and then by scrubbing the tanks the oil can, it is Bald, be completely removed.

"SOUTH AS SECTION APART" Gov. Erazier Says Many So Consider It Advice On Xegro Question.

Nashville, Jan. 24. James B. Frazier was today Inaugurated Governor of Tennessee to serve his second term. The inauguration ceremonies were on a more elaborate scale than any held in recent years, and a great throng of people attended.

The oath was administered by Chief Justice Beard. In his inaugural address Governor Frazier said in part: "The exigencies of the Civil War freed the slave, but the black man remained, and with him a problem unparalleled its difficulties. "The problems of Industrial regeneration and of racial adjustment were laid upon the men of the South, and they were commanded to solve them in peace and honor. To reorganize labor and adjust it to the new conditions of citizenship forced upon the negro and to harmonize two races by nature wholly dissimilar, living on the same soil, beneath the same skies one for a century in slavery to the other and only freed as the sequel to a bloody and desolating war; one of brave, proud and cultured race, the other Ignorant, uneducated, irresponsible, yet each clothed with equal civil and political rights presented problems almost superhuman In their difficulties. "But our people in less than 40 years, with little help and little sympathy from aty source, have almost solved the one problem, and if left undisturbed are hopeful of solving the other.

"The cotton crop of the last year was worth nearly $600,000,000, and our grasses and grains and other farm products much more. This could not have txsen produced by sullen or discontented lab r. vBut, notwithstanding the South's indusr trial resurrection, its progress, its growth and unwavering loyalty, there are those who still pers'st In looking on the South as a section apart, who still prate of Federal election laws applicable only to the South, of reducing Southern representation, and wou! still force upon the South political, If not social, equality of the races. "First of all, let us be patient and keep our heads. Upon the supreme question which touches our racial Integrity and supremacy let us give all mankind to understand that there will be neither compro-.

mise nor shadow of turning, and that the white people of the South must and will preserve that civilization which has made them as a race and a people strong and great."

After his rejection the Commonwealth objected to John M.

Hanna, who was accepted yesterday as a juror. The Commonwealth showed that Mr. Hanna had made a wager on the result of the trial in his place of business. Judge Aiken dismissed him, to which counsel for the defense excepted. This left the panel of yesterday two short, making nine men.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Lynchburg, Jan. 24. Glover Brooks, a 14-year-old white boy, who was stealing a ride on a freight train in the Southern yard here this afternoon, fell under the train and had his left leg mashed off. muscles, which the Nippon trainers value.

The agility of the well taught but slightly built wrestling contortionist Is magical and well nigh Incredible, but long years arc spent in the cultivation of the exuding art in which the eye nnd the perceptive faculties, hs well as the muscular system, are mngnincenl ly trained. The mastering of appetite Is the second stage of juvenile Samurai Instruction. The) stomach has to attend this severe school as well as the muscle. The child Is still very young when his father suddenly one day begins to theorize to him on the probabilities of a time of war. Talking of the contingencies of a campaign, he explains t' at some day, when be is a grown soldier, fighting for the defense of his Emperor, be may be besieged In a fortress without food or drink.

And In order to Require adequate powers of endurance every tnia young patriot of Nippon should begin betimes to practice abstiuencc, as if actually undergoing the direct ordeal of war. Now begins a mouth of semi-starvation. Nothing but the smallest quantity of rice that can sustain life is allowed, the only relish added being a few pieces of pickled "dal-kon," a popular kind of radish. But what makes this period of training extra-sever Is that hard exercise Is Imposed, part of the philosophy of the discipline being that a siege is anything but a time of Inaction. "My friend's father," says Adachl Klnnosu-kl, "in the days of this mnde-to ordcr starvation, had him climb a mountain, chop wood, roll the logs and subjected him to all manner of physical exertion.

One day, when he was about 115 years of age, he was sent out upon a long journey. Ills servant accompanied him, and he was allowed to have two bowls of rice, a piece of dried fish nnd two cups of water a day to sustain himself. At one time he was sent to Mount Atngo. He was told to spend 1" days on the mountain, and to sustain him- self with whatever he could find with his own hands." i In facts like these wo discover the rca- son why the Jnpnnese troops were able to tramp such grent distances day after day on the rough, mountainous tracks of Kore.i to deliver three frontal at tacks 011 the semi-permanent fortifications of Llaoyang and to master the complicated and tortuous Manchurlan geography on the ridiculously scant rations of rice, dried fish and a few stray pickled plums. Thirdly comes the discipline of nerve nnd soul.

"I recall," says Kitiuostikl, "how we used to go to nn old deserted hous which stood on the outskirts of the castled town of Kameyama. There was genial gathering of boys, ranging from 7 to HI years of age. An old man, the most wonderful of story-tellers, presided over the gathering. His fund of fearsome ghost stories was inexhaustible. Behind the dilapidated house stretched a bamboo grove in the direction of a moss-eoverod graveyard of an ancient temple.

The old man counted the number of his boy guests and took as many candles Into the graveynr.l. There he lit them and hid them In nil sort of corners among the tombstones. Then he came back to tell the most horrible ghost stories. When the midnight hour came he drew lots, and the boy who drew No. 1 wont through the :too.yard stretch of the thick bamboo grove In the black darkness of midnight to find one of the candles and bring It back.

The nights selected were ill ways stormy. Many night do I remember having waded through the mud of the bamboo forest to pass Into the graveyard. But In more remarkable nnd virile days than ours our sires went through still more trying training, for when they were not quite 10 years old they had to visit, In tb still hours of dark nights, the decapitated heads of criminals exposed on the hlghvn for the ethical education of the passcrsby, nnd they were told to leave a mark upon the scaffold to show that they were not In a hurry to escape from the grim sight." At the beginning of the present war Admiral Togo, in a conversation, said: "I am not a learned scholar, but from my youth up ray masters compelled me to examine and carefully follow the teachings of the School of Yomai. It seems to me that a soldier can derive a great deal of benefit from the School of Yomal." What Is this famous School of Yomal, of which such wonderful things are told by others, as well as Klnnosukl? Itwasslmply the course of soul-training In which multitudes of the soldiers and sailors now at war with Russia graduated. It is the system of the Chinese philosopher Yomal carried out to final Issues.

The fourth step taken by the disciple of the old Samurai traditions Is his Introduction to this school of philosophy. Yomal emphasized above everything else what he styled the "dominant weight of the soul." By this the Japanese understand the poise of nerve that can be sunken by nothing in life or death. The keynote of this strange philosophy Is exactly the opposite of the dominant note In Western atheism, for It is identical with a conviction of absolute deathlessness of the soul. To the Far Eastern mind life Is nothing but one of the many passing expressions of the eternal entity, the "nouinena." Therefore, as Klnnosukl puts It, when you say you have plucked flower or killed a man you have only destroyed one of the countless expressions of the eternity which you have never touched which never can be touched. So there Is uo death to the Nippon warrior, except a phase of sleep.

Vivid Illustrations of this conviction have been supplied during thr present conflict. There lies before uu Japauosa print representing the mootln; under the soa of Admiral MakhnrOiT, who was Wowu up with his ship, and tVwm.iti.lif Utrosc. the hero of the bottling up of Makharoff in Port Arthur, lllrosc, who was Mown to pieces by a Russian shell during his effort, said before he met his titi "It I die this time I shall come back nine times over, until I see this work of mluecompleted." That Is the old Samurai accent, expressing the spirit that flumes In millions of Jnpnnese souls today. It luridly explains why the Russian press, after deriding their foen nt first ns "little brown monkeys," have I changed the epithet 10 "little yellow dev- I Us." jn Afull tliiirttr. Thorough.
