Newman, on "Christlanltv and Wnm anhood. To morrow evening, at St. Peter's Episco pal church, Ktate street, near Bond, tho Rev. SENATOR SHERMAN'S FORUM ARTICLE ON THE FINANCES. Allison of Iowa Weighed in tho Balances by the Atlantic The Scotch Element in American Citizenship Notes on Articles in Other Monthlies.

Senator John Sherman's paper entitled "Deficiency of Revenue the Cause of Our Financial 1113" in the April number of the Forum will attract wide attention. His conclusions are colored, naturally, by his political bias in favor of a protective tariff and his predilection for the greenback. He contends that the President and Secretary Carlisle mistake the cause of our present 'financial condition in attributing it to the demand for gold for Vnitcd States notes, and he thinks the facts which he submits in his paper will convince everyone that the true financial policy Is to supply the government with ample means to meet its current expenditures and to pay off each year a portion of the public debt. He criticises the Wilson bill very severely, declares that it has produced a deficiency every hour since its enactment, and attributes our financial ills especially the continued exports of gold largely to its workings. He says that he prefers a Jaw that will impartially protect and encourage all home Industries, and he considers the McKinley law infinitely better than tne Wilson law.

The disposition of silver cer regards the free coinage of silver, however, as a most dangerous policy. The senator concludes his article with an outline of a financial system which in his opinion would make our money the best in the world. President Schur man of Cornell university contributes a paper entitled "Teaching A Trade or a Profession?" He argues forcefully for the placing of teaching on a basis of professional equality with law, theology and medicine, claiming that if this is not done teachers will deteriorate. The paper Is decidedly suggestive and informing. James Bryce, author of "The American Commonwealth," presents the results of his observations of the two Boer republics of South Africa In a paper which is captioned "Two South African Constitutions." He made a scientific study of their workings on the ground.

William Morris, the porn, writing about socialism in England, claims that It is making its way gradually among the English middle and working classes. There is an Interesting addition to the Forum's sketches on reigning European sovereigns In De Fournier's article upon "Francis Joseph and His Realm," which gives an entertaining and instructive glimpse of the emperor's private and public life, and the public questions which vex the government. Rrnndpr Mfh has an interesting essay on pleasing the public taste. Among other papers of special Interest is one by Professor Arthur W. Wright of Yale, or the character and effects of the cathode rays.

Scribner's Magazine. Cosmo Monkhouse's article on the late Lord Deighton is the leading article in the April number of Scribner's Magazine. It is Illustrated with reproductions of several of his most striking pictures. The article was yrit ten before Lord Lelghton's death and he assisted personally in the selection of the pictures, so that we have what he undoubtedly considered most representative of his art. Another article which will attract attention is Henry Norman's paper, "The Quarrel of the lingnsn speaking People.

He is the corres pondent whose dispatches to the London Chronicle from Washington, on the Venezuela matter, produced so profound an impression in England. In this article he gives a very accurate summary of what is believed to be the temper of the English people, and indicates the line along which he thinks the difficulty can be adjusted. Nothing Is further from the desires of the English people than a quarrel with this country. Since the article was written, there has come about a cooler feeling on this side of the sea, and certainly the sound senBe of the United States is as strongly on the side of arbitration as the best thought of England. There is an illustrated article on the cathode rays, which will be found to present the latest conclusions In this unique and interesting discovery.

The article is by Professor Trowbridge of Harvard, who made the first cathode ray photograph in this country. Rufus B. Richardson, director of the American school at Athens, has written a graphic description of the restoration of the Stadion, at Athens, through the generosity of a wealthy Greek. The revival of the Olympian games this coming season gives the article an especial interest. President Andrews' "History of the Last Quarter of a Century" is Concluded; the completed work is to be issued in book form.

In short fiction this number presents two of the most popular American writers. Richard Harding Davis contributes a new Van Bibber story, entitled "Cinderella," which is In his brightest vein, and Joel Chandler Harris writes a story of the siege of Atlanta, entitled "A Baby in the Siese," which is dramatic and full of quaint character. This instalment of Barrie's "Sentimental one of his most humorous efforts an account of a characteristic Thrums holiday, known as "The Muckley." The Atlantic Monthly. The summary of the public record of Senator Allison which is given in the April Atlantic will be read with interest. These essays upon different presidential possibilities, which are given each month in this magazine, are written from an unpartisan standpoint, and are Intended to present the salient characteristics of the men under discussion.

The writer of the article finds that for a man who has been so long In public life his reputation is singularly free from the attacks of scandal mongers. His conduct in debate, his work in committee and his votes are thought to show hlni a man of judicial temper, of moderation and of fullness of knowledge. In a word, the writer regards him as a man of sound head, integrity character, of high principles and possessed of a wide experience. It is not claimed that he Is more than a follower. He is not a leader, and will never pass the point where the danger signal Is flying.

He will prefer to temporize and adjust rather than face emergencies. According to the Atlantic's summary he would be a good pilot for smooth waters, but if a captain should happen to be needed it might be that he would not be the man for the place. Lafca dio Heam contributes an exceedingly interesting article on China and Japan, and the consequences which will flow from the recent war with China. The problem is bound to become of increasing interest as the years go by. The paper on race characteristics in thiB issue' treats of the "Scotch Element in the American People." The paper is by Professor Shaler of Harvard.

He finds that their virtues as well as their vices are those of strong men. Rowland E. Robinson has one of his dainty articles full of the scent of the woodlands. In this instance his theme is "Old Time Sugar Making." and his picture of the maple sugar bush of the old days is true1 to life. Maurice Thompson writes about the birds and the wild life of the great Okefinokee swamp of Georgia.

Dr. T. C. Mendenhall. formerly at the head of the coast survey, contributes an article on the Alaska boundary, which he assisted to determine.

The fiction of the number is led with the first installment of Henry James' new four part story. "The Old Things." which promises to be of exceptional Interest. In the series of articles on education the cause of the public schools is championed by F. W. Atkinson.

The departments present the usual array of interest lug matter. The April Harper. "The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc," which common fame attributes to Mark Twain, are concluded in the April number of Harper, and soon it will be necessary to speak of the book in its concrete form. The comments that have been made upon it during its serial publication will scarcely be appropriate for the bound issue, for it is likely to be subjected to some revision. One critic hits said that "it read like a newspaper story." That is a quality which is not always in place in a novel, however appropriate it may be to some works of fiction.

Doubtless such little slips as that found on page 658 will be corrected.

Books and Bookmen. A problem in naval war tactics was not long ago given out at Woolwich school, Bng land. The problem was how to capture Long Island.

attack taking place. An article by Mr. Richard Harding Davis, published about three years ago, describing the exploring expedition In northeastern, Africa then being carried out by Mr. Will lam Astor Chanler, did much to arouse pub lic interest In the matter. Mr.

Mrs. Miller resides in.

Brooklyn, on Hancock street, and has recently given a series of lectures on her favorite theme in New York. Since the publication of the witty book for young people, entitled "Tommy Toddles," the publishers have been somewhat beset with inquiries in ragard to its authorship. Valued corresponents have taken for granted that It was the work of John Kendrick Bangs, and that "Albert Lee," on the title page, was a pen name, and the question has been asked: "What reason had Mr. Bangs for not claiming It?" It may therefore be stated that Albert Lee Is as certainly a real person as Master Toddles and his adventures among the animals of a Noah's ark are certainly imaginary. The Century company announces for early issue, "The Puppet Booth," twelve plays by Henry B.

Fuller, the author of "With the Procession," which Is said to bo powerful and striking, with a weirdness suggestive of Maeterlinck, but with more humor.

i Mendelssohn violin concerto, the "Frei schueU" overture and the prize song from "The Master Singers;" the Wagner number being after these years of use worthy to pass among the accepted perfections. The only thing that savored of novelty was a set of three Hungarian dances, the paraphrases of Dvorak upon themes by the terrible Brahms, who in this Instance really has somthlng to say and expresses it in action and music instead of mathematics and metaphysics. At, first the orchestra was sluggish and the first two numbers of the symphony were played in a rather mechanical fashion yet it is hard to invest these realisms of Beethoven with high beauty. They verge on Imitation, which Is never art. He gives us the fact where we ki listen for the spirit.

This is not charaoteris tic of the man, for it occurs only in this sym wt phony, and in but a little of that. If one hear how natural beauty may be told in music, let him listen to the waldweben of "Siegfried" or to the storm In this same symphony, which is, both as a picture and a performance, beyond the. scene by the brook. Without grossness or fury, indeed, with such a temperance as we find in no composer of tho last half century, the circumstance of the tempest is related and in a way that is impressive. The passage of wind and rain, the coming and recession of the thunders, the startling flash of lightning, are suggested instead of copied, and the imagination is not restrained by obvious disparities between the real and the semblant.

There is nothing finer, in its way, in music, than the clearing of the storm, the rumbling off of the thunder, the clear, peaceful song that follows. It Is always as if a veritable air of heaven had passed through the hot room, taking its foulness and bringing scents of fields and a distant warble from tho woods. In playing this storm the orchestra regained the spirit that was expected of it, and through the rest of the evening kept the performance at Its usual standard. The Brahms dances, strange to say, have lost a little of their strength and wlldness under the doctoring of Dr. Dvorak, but perhaps they have gained In acceptance to the popular ear by an increased fluency and smoothness.

Usually it is as well to' let a man speak for himself, if he has anything to say, and while It is legitimate to make orchestral pieces from piano literature, and vice versa, there Is a certain peril In transcriptions, albeit, Brahms has made himself subject to them by doing some transcribing of his own, as In the case of Haydn's "Chorale St. An thonl." The overture to "Der Frelschuetz" was begun in a dragging manner as to tempo, but this is a not infrequent habit with Mr. Paur, as it enables him to heighten contrasts when he enters' the dramatic part of a work. The Mendelssohn concerto, at least the andante and finale the allegro Is better worth while than the finale was played by Mr. Timotheus Adamonski.

who sits just behind kappelmelster Kneisel, looks like a good American and is one of three members of the violin corns that play solos. This artist has a smooth style, not very strong, but highly agreeable, and he plays with feeling, but without excess of sentiment.

The two cozy parlors at 71 Plerrepont street were filled yesterday afternoon, when Wilford Watters gave a musicale. There was a plenty of music lovers and students present, who fully appreciated a well selected and well rendered programme. Mr. Watters possesses a good baritone voice, which he uses with care and discretion. He sang French, German and English songs easily, gracefully and with expression.

Gounod's "Le Vallon" probably illustrated his environment as well as any, though the Moore and Hatton ballads were rendered romantically enough. He was well received. The contributing artists were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schradieck, accomplished musicians, who played among other things a Grieg sonata, for piano and violin, with taste and precision, and Grace Halleck, a precocious piano student of tender years, who rendered the Chopin A fiat ballade with confidence and authority, and a Rubinstein polonaise, glibly and daintily.

Mabel C. Duble made a good accompanist. WISSNER'S NEW WAREROOMS.

In these epistles Miss Alcott chats of her work, her home life, the influences that guided her to literature, her spiritual belief and gives her views upon the immortality of the soul, and refers to spiritualism and kindred topics with delightful frankness.

Ben Davies, the tenor from the other side, who made his first appearance here in grand concert on this occasion, was received with enthusiasm. He Is a solid and satisfactory singer, a stalwart fellow with a manly voice, in spite of its high range, and the bearing of an army officer. The stiffness of his spine makes him bow perky, but that would have been a small matter If he had not been compelled to come out and bow so often. He sings with a pure chest tone that Is nearly even in all its range and that is clear and far carrying in spite of the fact that his voice is not one phenomenal for mere volume. His singing is a lesson in voice management.

He gave the "Deeper and Deeper, Still" with its addendum of "Waft Her, Angels," good, honest old Handel, every line of it, sturdy, musical, free from glm cracks, and afterward sang the prize song with a fine smoothness and expression.
