The nature and beneficent activities of this famous old association arc too well known to lovers of music to need any recital here. Hut the nature of this particular concert, reviving as It did In many of the rider gc.

I nnd it purported to represent In revival not only the nctual program of one of the concerts of that sweet singer of he loved memory, hut to show us on the stage in the habit hi which they lived, and more, in the concord of sweet sound which enqh produced, not only Jenny Llnd herself, but Olc Hull, the superb old wizard of the viollu, and the great tenor, Signor Mario, ns well. It was fitting that tho grand orchestra of up word of thirty pieces should be directed by Slgnor Max Htrakosch.-notablo leader and, impresario, and that the whole shmild bo preceded as was eu.stomaiy In the frank old days by one of thoe eloquent nnd flamboyant speeches of mingled wit, simplicity and boastfulncss which made famous tho name of 1.

In n fit that is aspiring constantly to a greater industiial eminence, for exam ple, the question of utilities like light, heat, power and street-car sen ice is a mo-t important one.

THE RICH MAN'S PHILOSOPHY THE benign philanlhrop of Nathan Straus was neer none admirably illustrated than in Ins announ. ement that It Is his ambition to die poor in Txprldly goods but '-ric nnd In good works This phllosopln is coming to be more and more accepted by the rich men of 31. this country, but Mr. Straus has- nn ;dvautage over some of thcni in that 'his entire business life has been (on ductfd on the high phlhiutliropic nnd generous principles which characterize hi recent utteiance. Not nil of out philanthropists can approach the work of aiding' others with hands so clean. Mr, Straus quoted a Hebrew proverb: 'What joii give Iu health Is gold : what you rIto Jn sickness is silver, what you fire after death Is iron, More nnd more our rich men nre converting Iho 'irou" flttp of former times iuto tbus might easily be made to rival the grow ing suburban communities that ndjoin this city on the Pennsylvania side of the ner What is needed is it Dela ware bridge and a boulevard or two in Camden. Hut the tremendous power and potenc which machine lenders dis play at the polls bas neter been appai - , out when aid for the bridge project was lequiied in TietiHui or elsewhere. The antiquated fei ry system remains in the way of Camden's development, firadually the people of the city have come to understand what the dominant political organization ically is. Thej nie reiognizing it clearly ns an agency . that has only an incidental relation to Camden-nn oigaulntion formed and maintained as one of n series of inter- . in liappiuoss I locking machines upon which political ' i leaders depend for control of the state. ' I What the larger machine really stands ; ' for is fairly apparent in the Kuehnle j victory, in n public service commission ' ! under' fire and in a political party drift- ' ing to a dangerous split. A rensserllou of the independent po litical sentiment which, before now, has brought about wholesome revolutions in Camden politics will come before long if signs and omens count for anything. The clean -thinking nnu forward While Director Cienrrd Ilines is explaining that poor railroad service ' is inevitable for a time now that the i government has lelinquishcd the rail- , roads, railroad officials ecrywheie are i explaining thnt tlie government left the l roads In awful shape. As both declara tions arc explnnatoiy, neither side may be accused of "passing the buck,' I The election in Atlantic City might proic that the 'church vote" is not so numetous ns the 'Vnloon vote" if it were not a fact, there ns elsewhere, that there is no such thing ns n "church vote" or a "saloon vote," but simply the votes of men of x-arious affiliations and varying sympathies.
