The classical poets, however, rhyme to such an extent that an English ear cannot appreciate It without first realizing what quantity means in Is lo say, without first chanting the verse in its proper time. That is an easy matter for any one who will make the aitempt. The only rule of prosody needed to read Latin JJ-nd Greek verse successfully in Its own melodies is to chant it in its time, look- i for the most and best rhymes for the voice to pause on. This is abso- lutely all the prosody any reader needs. Of course for the poet who makes the verse It is different Recently, at odd times snatched from other work sufficiently arduous, I have made the attempt to examine the leed- Ing Greek and Latin poets, and I have so far succeeded that I can assure the readers of The World that Uie lamp prepared by such great linguists as Ofrimm.

THE OVERTHROW OF LEARNING.

the Goths, our kinsmen, took Some, It was as if- the Tartars of Central Asia should Invade America take New York, so supplanting lizatlon with barbarism that In time all I'lhe terms a.nd definitions of this civili- choug-h still surviving in diction- became meaningless, or nearly so. It Uhus with "quantity" in ipoetry. What did the Goths know of the meaning of the terms in which the science of poetry was expressed for the 'ihlgh intelligence of highly civilized And what, after fifteen hundred iyears, a descendant of these same "Goths, I who had become so far civilized "as to wear clothes and read 'what did or couW know of the (i meaning of these terms, which could only be interpreted to the mind by the iine-ly ear of one educated in 'the harmonies of language. I could do noth ng, and I knew it. In this 1 differed fiom some others.

I re- salized my ignorance, and sought to find i melodies of verse which 1 could see 'from its mere rhythn. must have -ihldden harmonies in it. It Is only as a of thirty years of study that I -have succeeded in the attempt, but I i hive succeeded, and my ear tells me iWlth absolute certainty, that every Greek and Latin poem 1 nave ever reaa, as well as the lyrics of my own Gothic 'ancestors, is written in rhyme. I can In old Latin, In old Greek, In modern Italian and In modern Greek, which are all liquid languages of the most melodious vowel assonances, the voice at once becomes melodious under the Influence of a strong feeling. Rhyme follows rhyme, and assonance assonance, and as the voice is stressed by pitch of passion, rhymes and assonances come out wCiich nre r.i'iden by the natural tone.

To discover to reproduce them In regular order so as to set to Immemorial, un- flying music, the deepest truths of the human heart. Is to maKe undying poetry. The Greek gospels are full of such short poems, written in rhyme under the Influence of this law of language, which is also a law of the human mind. The book of Revelations especially abounds in them, and so do Paul's letters. These appear not only In the Greek I of the New Testament, but in the Italian translation of being sometimes i the conscious, sometimes the unconscious wcrk of the translator There Is a deep meaning In the simile which makes the subject of high or deep emotion "a reed shaken bv the wind!" Such was Rt.

Paul, and my friend Rev. Benjamin Brewster has called my attention to the fact that the thirteenth chapter of the First epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians Is a rhyming poem. Those who determine its measure and chant It will find Its rhymes and assonances more beautiful than they have ever been able to Imagine. I have studied It until I am able to divide It Into Its measures In the Greek, but I will not now trouble your readers with the original.

I will ask them, however, to give their close attention to tihe rhvmes of this translation: ST. PAUL'S POEM ON LOVE.

Tne agreements words in these inflectional languages, til of vowels as they are, are for the part in rhymes.

These rhymes not accidental, but are a part of the of haimony, which has already jeen stated in Thf World. I can Illus- rate this in Latin and English, perhaps, the satisfaction of who are gsirous of learning if not to that of ifeselonal scholars. Thus an umearn- All things it bears; It has all faith: al hopes it shares, nor doth it fail, though railing tongues assail It!

If those who wish to learn the secret or Greek and La-tin verse will give their attention to the words, "Though I were fain of mysteries and prophecies, and though I knew all secrecies." they can readily see the meaning of the first rule of 'v as it develops itself in quan- or time in verse. "Mysteries," "prophecies" and "secrecies are merely assonant when read In recitative. Then they make the rhythm of the sentence.

Chanted they become perfect rhymes, and if the final syllables are properly stressed they will be exceedingly melodious. Another law of classical verse, the most highly important one, is developed In the sentence: "All things it bears- it all hopes it shares, nor fall though railing tongues assail Flumlna Oenstitertnt acnta Dissolve rrlgua LlgTU super foco Large reponens Atque bciilcnltjs Deprome qaadrimiiDi Sabtna menim dicta!

Infinitely superior as St. Paul's verse Is to anything in Homer or any other Hisslcal poet, it is modelled closely on Homer's verse and illustrates the Homeric method, as do Horace and all other classical poets.

Here there are two main series 01 rhymes running through the ode depending on "me" In the first verse and "men- tibus" In the second verse. "Vlro," with which the ode concludes, rhymes with "leo" above It. Tested by 'the presence of Its rhymes of quantity the Horatlan text Is much more correct than that of Catullus, bui the following examples In English wll indicate what Latin texts have suffered by being edited in ignorance of their rhymes of melody: Now mid tho shine of glossy Locks let myrtle green In leafy Fillets mix wltTi the flower that springs On ths freed meadows.

No matter what values are given vowels, these staves when accented properly on the last syllable will be rhymes throughout. The ques- lon of vowel pronunciation does, not igrure unless there is a change of system In the middle of the poem.

"Dulce" and "colleglsse" are perfect rhymes of quantity which are not fully brought out by the arrangement above. The rhyme for "curriculo" may have'been ost through a corruption of the text or Horace may have merely Injected an unrhymlne stave to keep his other rhymes from being vulgarly obtrusive. He has that habit throughout his verses, and it is the very climax of the classic art of poetry. No English writer has attained It. It belongs to the future of English verse, and the practice of It will make a "Metaque," "palmaque" and "evltata" are also highly artistic assonances, as "dulce-de," "pulye" and "calle." SPLIT INTO TWO FACTIOUS.

these facts: That Hurley's books bad will be resumed next been altered and falsided; that the Thursday morning. figures showing the amount of coal supplied had been raised; that false bil were made out which did not appear at all on Hurley's books; that the amount out of which the State was mulcted by these operations added S3 1-3 per cent. to the bills. Major Hurley was questioned about his bills against the State, and Lawyer Corbin put a lot of very leading- questions to him. "Did you know, Mr.

Hurley, that your bookkeeper destroyed cash books?" "I knew nothing at all about it." "Haw did you come to make out your bills for larger amounts than ware called for?" "I never did it" "Did you add nothing for political purposes'?" "I did not, sir." "What did you mean by sayinsr, when the subpoena was served on you. that you were ready for the committee?" "I'm always ready for anything." ALL CLERICAL ERRORS. John A. Fritz now took the stand. He was Hurley's bookkeeper till October, 1891, and now advertises himself as an expert accountant.

"Who gave you Instructions about the making of those bills?" asked Mr. Corbin. "No one." "What did you make your bills out fro-m "From the stubs of the weight books." "Who told you to raise those amounts?" "Nobody." "Who directed you to falsify the books?" "Nobody." "Why did you do it?" "I didn't." "How do you account for the appearance of items in bills which do not appear in the order book or ledger?" "Must have been a clerical error." "Here is one item of 30,000 pounds of coal. Is it by an error that that is not on the books?" "Yes, sir." There are two such items in pne. Both clerical errors?" "Yes, sir." Fritz admitted that he and D'Arcy South Orange, N.

Fritz denied most strenuously, that any altering or correcting had been lone during that examination. SOME CURIOUS FIGURES. Bookeeper D'Arcy said he made out the State House bllla from the ledger. He made the entry in the books first, and sometime later In the day filled in amount, when the drivers should vith the receipt book. Mr.

Corbin said that on March 10 there was an entry of 26,418 pounds, which did not appear on the book. On March 12 a charge to the State of 38.470 )ounds had been raised from 8.470 and later an Item of 2,380 pounds lad been raised to 32,880 pounds. In both cases 30,000 pounds had been added, or an excess charge of 60,000. By an examination of other ntrles all In the same bill, It was shown they were false, and amounted to exactly he excess, amount charged. This bill even charged correctly at the raised weights, would have been $432.

and that was raised to $B69, an Increase of thlrty- flve per cent. It was shown throuuh- 3ut that actual entries were raised by risertlng a figure before the amount ex- ending the account by so many pounds. Erasures were made in every case re- erred -to, and a microscopic examination howed that the erasures had been made within a week. "Yes, there can be no doubt alxiut hose figures having been made re- 3ently," remarked Senator. Daly, the mly Democrat member of.

the commlt- ee, after he had examined the books; Mr. Corbin continued to point out the jvldences of the figures having been al- ered. As an evidence of how reck- essly and clumsily the work had been done, he called attention to one case 'in which an' overcharge to the State of 74.51 was acknowledged on the nowhere did it appear that this had been eotlfled. Item after Item was gone over. ihowlng most palpable changes and 3rasures.

Even the weights on the few ilips found differed, and it was shown hat while Hurley's wagons carried no more than 2,4000 or 2,500 poOnds, that In every instance the State was charged for loads of 3,000 and over. Added to this, columns were erroneously footed, the figure's erased and written over, as wag shown by the fact that the original balances were carried over. D'ARCY FAILS TO EXPLAIN. Bookkeeper D'Arcy was asked If he had any explanation to offer In view of the disclosures. "I can't make any explanation," he said.

"No, I don't believe you can," Chairman Voorhees remarked. "If those things are so," D'Arcy resumed, "they must have been caused by making corrections at the time." "Oh, nonsense!" exclaimed Lawyer Corbin, "You couldn't make errors In every Item." Fritz was recalled to do some explaining. He stuck to his story, however, and had no explanation except "clerical errors." "Do you mean to say that you raised two Items In the same bill 30,000 pounds by a clerical error?" "Yes, sir." The crowd burst out laughing at this. Chairman Voorhees rapped for order. "This exhibition," said he, one calling more pity than laughter.

The papers are returnable on Tuesday. A $1,000 mortgage was given in Augmt, 1887, to Martin Karl. It is charged that President Roeber, of the Board of Trustees, was hanaed $1,000 to pay it ofT.

The Church held a jubilee service to celebrate the eyont, and. In the absence of the pastor, Rev, Henry W. Becker, Deacon Roeber delivered the sermon." When Karl died, two years ago, his widow announced that the mortgage had never been paid. Last January Deacon Edward Savitzkl began an action In the Supreme Court against Roeber to have the mortgage paid. On Feb.

12 Roeber paid the indebtedness. He said that the money had been originally loaned to him by the trustees. The dispute aplit the congregation into two factions. At an excitlmr meeting on Feb. 19 the leaders of the opposition were expelled.

They were Deacon Kieferle, his wife, their son. George, Deacon and Mrs. Savitzki, Maria Huppert, Anna Conrnd and Mlna Brebeck. The trouble continued, and a meeting on March 11 expelled two daughters of Deacon Savitzski and a Jacob Conrad, who had voted against the expulsion of the others. All those who were expelled have joined in the action to be restored to membership.

He made an unfortunate business investment, however, and upon returning to hip trade, found that his eyesight was failing. This made him despondent. When he left home last Friday, however, he was cheerful. He said that he intended to work In' Prns- Park. It is supposed he continued tramp to Coney Island and that he died of heart failure.
