Interesting ReTln of the Music 6t tie Synagogue, THE MOST ANCIENT IN THE WORLD. The Vocal Choir. The subject, "Jewish Music," ia one wild in field, difficult of bringing together and of winch is read of in books and nothing ever teen in musical journals. Hut notwithstanding that, the music of the synngopue is the oldest, moat beautiful, most complete nnd authentic of any. Wonderful ia the power which nature has bestowed on the musical tone.

Its influence on the human heart is irresistible. In the exultation of unspeakable joy, when the aoul is bowed down with grief; when hope seems to be irrevocably lost and the storm tossed heart is well nigh foundering on the rock of hark! an old familiar tune strikes the ear, an artless song or simple hymn, and the momentary agitation yields to a transport of delight. Joy and' grief, hope and despair, find an echo in the familiar strains, and revive and restore the spirit to boundless freedom. Neither poetry nor any other plastic art possesses this wonderfully comforting and soothing power over the human heart. At the pressure of overwhelming grief or unspeakable joy, the ear may become senseless to rhythm and rhyme, and the eye be dimmed for the perception of outward beauty, but neither joy nor sorrow can prevent the musical sound from penetrating the very depths of the human heart.

So must the white haired Isrealite of today feel, as he hears a tune taught him peyhtTps three score years ago in his faraway home. The music sang at the synagogue today is, from a musical standpoint, widely correct, but it is not the orthodox Jewish music. Strange, but there seems. to be no record of music sung in the temples years ago, and therefore, it is no wonder. that history knows nothing of the musical activity of the Jews during those distant middle ages.

But we have evidence of its existence in the rich and singularly characteristic synagogue melodies of the Jews, notwithstanding their wealth of harmony and wonderful variety of words, still retain their identity and a onenessa of sentimental prompting. They contain no foreign element; they are purely original, creations of the Jewish characteristic expressions of the mediaeval Jew. These musical creations, though originating in the synagogue, were never confined to its limits. Tiv.y forced their way into the individual life, the family life and into the social life of the Jew. They were his faithful companions wherever he went.

They were transmitted as a sacred hair loom from generation to until a few years ago when music of a more modern style took its place. The musical literature of the synagogue has of late received many additions, the value of which is, to say the least, very questionable. The traditional music of that temple is mote beautiful than anything ever written for centuries past. There is no people in the world that gives in its poetry and song a truer picture of its history than does the Israelite. During the periods when the bright and warm piyff'OT pence the home of the stranger their hearts throb with joy and thcr voices sing out in songs of praise.

But when darkness and persecution, tyra ny and cast their gloom over their babitat.ons then it is that their muffled tones are heard in sombre m.nor melody. The bright and cheerful songs sre as numerous as the mournful ones nnd beside what is very often taken for a minor key is a characteristic Jew.sh mode differing widely from any modern key, just as the old (Jreek males and the modes in which the Christian music was written differ from auy in use today. A step has recently been taken and much discussion occasioned by the suggest on of congregational eiinging in the temple. Music is an important t'aeior in on me service and if such a step be taken, then the congregations will be participants in praise, Instead of silent (and often inattentive) listeners. The unsatisfactory passive attitude which congregations are impelled to maintain during hours of worship, has praver, in plaee of tilling them.

This does not preclude the introduction of music of a more elaborate character, the canter of choir, but we must train the to join the choirs in singing all responsive melodies of "Aids' and the "Old Hundred," but to airs simple and devotional in themselves, and which easily falls into one's ear. Many powerful arguments have been brought in favor of congregational singing in the temple, and before many years will have passed, it is highly probable that the latter mode of singing will have taken the place of choir singing. The choir at the Atlanta synagogue is at present composed of Mr. J. D.

O'Don iielly, organist and director; Miss i beth Keuney, soprano. Mrs. C. 0. Sheridan, contralto, Mr.

William Owens, tenor, Mr. Will Jessup, basso. The sendee throughout is very interesting, but to one Bot acquainted with the form, full of iuvh tery. 1 la bin Reich is the possessor of one of the finest voices in the city.

The concert Monday afternoon was short The nr.diei.ce was composed mostly of hidies, and such being the case, appiaose was not whether for fear of splitting one's gloves, or au unwillingness to waste even so small an amount of energy in this warm weather.

But the applause was suUieieat to show Mr. O'Dounelly tutit he had made good selections, both in his own and the persons by whom her was assisted. Mis.t Liiliau Clarke sang "Heaven Hath Shed a Tear," and as an encore, responded with "Thou Art Like T'uto a irvly Flower." Miss Clarke was for some apupi' of Madame Werner, and has for toe J.ifet few months, been with Mr. Will lam Owens. Miss Clarke's manner is and unaffected, and that is saying io.

This quartet is undoubtedly food when taken as a whole, but only one voice among the that of the basso will stand solo work. It is another case of "united we stand, divided we fall," and the quartet seemed to understand this. It is always pleasant to hear voices ensemble, especially if it be where one fits well with the other, and at times the harmony in this quartet was so perfect that one could imagine it was the music of a single voice. Madame Decca's voice is not so good as her acting. The selections she chose were apropos, and the sineer must have a fine repertoire of songs, if those she sang could be given as a sample.

Mrs. M. F. O'Brien returned to the city a few weeks ago. after having spent two and a half years in New York studying vocal music with Madame Frida de tie belle Ashwortb Mrs.

O'Brien has a courralto voice. It reaches two and a half each note clear and distinct. Mrs. O'Brien is a soulful s'raeer nnd has a way of bringiug out the hidden beauties in any song she may undertake. Her repertoire is large and is composed only of the most beautiful and classic songs.

It is probable that this singer will remain in Atlanta far some time to come, and if so, she will be an acquisition to the world of sung. An Atlanta young lady who has been studying music in Gotham for the past year, is Miss Florence Greene, daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. John M. Greene.

This young lady chose for her teachers one of the finest in New York, namely Madame Adelia Murio Celli, who by the way, was instructor to Emma Juch, Marie Kngle, Amanda Fabris and others of concert fame. Miss Greene was for some time the pnpll of Miss Elizabeth Kinney in this city, and is said to have a clear, sweet high soprano voice. It is probable that the yonng lady will return home in a short while. She will, however, return to New York to continue her studies early in the fall. Miss Ella Powell returned to the.

city on Wednesday after having spent a year and a half studying abroad: Miss Powell's voice was highly cultivated before going to Germany, and she snrely now be a "highly accomplished" singer. For several years this singer filled the position of soprano In tie First Methodist church. She studied with Alfredo Barili in Atlanta and spent yenr in Mew lork, a pupil of Achille Errani.

The Peculiar Accomplishment of a Pittsburgh citizen. From The riusburg Dispatch. Did you ever see a person begin writing a letter at the last period and then write backward nnd finish up at the beginning? That's what Carl Maier can do without the least exertion. It seems iust as easy for him to remsmber the words und of a sentence in reversed order as it is for the ordinary person Xn remember them in their regular order. It is an easy matter for him to think backward and, what is more 'astonishing, he writes upside down.

The letters art. all inverted he looks at them when writing. And again, in performing this feat, which one thinks would require all the power and attention of his brain, he is not disturbed by carrying on a conversation with you no matter how foreign the subject may be. Maier's nee would make one almost believe the theory recently by a scientist how long it may be, after hearing it he will commence and write thi verbatim, starting at the last letter of the last word and finishing it through to the first letter of the first word. It seems to be natural to him to invert his mind in his work, for he never or stops to think, but writes as rapidly as a person writing in the ordinary way.

"I acquired this in a peculiar manner," said Maier. "While I was a clerk in a grocery store jn Saxony I was an ambitious sort of boy and always wanted to do something different from every person else. When the customers came to me for their bills I would place the billhead in an inverted position in front of me and make the bill out backwards, as I have written for you.

Washington, July 14. On the 30th day of June Captain W. M.

Meredith gave up the control of the big bureau of engraving and printing to the successor whom Secretary Carlisle bad appointed and went to Chicago, where be expects to accept an offer maMc to him by the Western Bank Note Engraving Company. He served Just four years to a day and left the bureau ith the good wishes of all who bad Worn associated with him there, and of practically all of, the employes who had worked under his direction. This a particularly good record, since less than two toots sgo Chief Meredith waa embroiled with the Knights of Labor who are employed in Che bureau in a Way that threatened the defeat of Major McKlnley for governor of Ohio, and came very near reseating in handing the bureau over to the direction of the labor unions aad bringing about Captain Meredith's resignation. I asked Captain Meredith just before he left Washington to tell me the inside history of his light with the Knights of Labor. Mliry versions of the difficulty were published at the time, but none of them were authenticated.

Seated one afternoon in the cool and cosy rooms of the Army and Navy Club, Captain Meredith gave me the story. It has a great interest as a piece of Important po Hfelcal history It has a greater interest as Involving the relation of labor organizations to the government and Its bureaus at Washington. "I want to tell you first," said Captain Meredith, "that that matter has all been set Bled completely and that there Is no difference between me and the Knights of Labor. We are on the pleasantest terms and I leave them as I leave the other employes of the bureau, with the greatest regret. In fact, the parting from those with whom I have for fonr years is the worst part or going out of office.

"I have never fought union men. I am a union printer and always have been. Most of the men employed in the bureau belong to cither the Knights of Labor or the federation of Labor. They have about the same strength. There are about 1,330 employes of the bureau and of these 750 are women.

I do not know whether there Is any organization of women in the Knights of Labor now or not. There was an attempt to organize them at one time I know. Cut of the men all but a few belong to one or the other of the labor organizations. "The trouble between the labor organizations and me grew out of the employment of a negro girl as assistant to one of the The 'VIA printers tlemen, I would advise Is a large number of He refuged to resign and I recommended him for dismissal. Then I ju.sicii.m1 her.

P.ut after waiting for a day or two.

he refused to work. Tlie toaster workman of the district assembly of the Knights of labor came over to the press and toM liira that he need not work with her. The superintendent said that the chief had said that he must work with her. 'Yon ueed not work with said the master workman. The matter reported to me and I suspended the man sad also reccommended the for dismissal for insnbordi natlon.

Altogether I recommended seven for dismissal. the first trouble over the colored girl said to me that the subject seemed to be grow lay the matter before the cabinet. I wag at the white house soon after that and Ualford told me that the president wanted to see me. I went Into his office. 'What is the trouble you are having over at the bureau, captain? said the president.

I told them that it seemed to me that I had thev said.

When Monday came I as press wnere an assigt in printer rafusMl to work with back and screed to aire her a fair which got him Into trouble with Secretary Foster nnd spent an afternoon with him dictating proposals for an adjustment. Secretary Foster sent for me and asked me what I thoagtit of their position. I told him that I could not accept ft.

Bnt they got after him again and finally he wrote a letter agree came out to my house one night aad me: 'Cantaln. am afraid that the secretary' is going to sacrifice you. Now what other position is there that Is equally good that yon would Uke to I told him that there was no other that I thought that I was competent to fill, and that proposed to stand pat an what I had done, that if the secretary agreed to the terms of the committee I would hand in my resignation. The next day I aaw the secretary nnd told the same thing.

Ue said: 'Captain, I've a good mind to take this over to the president. 'I wish you 1 replied. So he took the papers and went over io the white house. When be came back he handed me a paper and asked me if I wonld be willing to agree to the terms which it proposed.

There is one men in the bureau who is a subordinate official, bnt who reports directly to the secretary of the treasury. He is the custodian of tne dies and plates. Mr. Johnston, who has succeeded Captain Meredith as chief of the bureau, held this position for some time before Captain Meredith's reglgna.

Tne fact that the custodian of the dies crd plates reports to the secretary la one of the checks on fraud In the bureau. When yon stop to think the bureau sometimes prints fi, 000,000 of currency in a clay, you begin to realise the possibilities of corruption in the I asked Captain Meredith if there was any chance that a dishonest man could steal from the government or could commit any fraud while holding the 'position of chief of the bureau. "It would not be possible without collusion throughout the entire bureau," said Captain Meredith. "In the first place, the custodian takes a receipt for each die and each plate that leaves his hands and gives a receipt for them when they are returned.

The bureau ts not closed until all of them have been returned to the vaults. Kach piece of steel is reclstered as it is received and a receipt Is given for It when It is taken out for engraving.

IndivldBals do very generally need more money, or Its equivalent, credit But if credit could be re established fae money would promptly be forthcoming. The "everything else" with which we are "more than supplied" would procure it The trouble is that what money we have is not snrely good and known to be good beyond all question.
