Thinks It Is a Duty of Woman, Bather Than Her Bight. Editor of Ths Tribcnb: Sib: Woman is the only worthy Amer ican citizen still deprived of full citizen ship. Not that I have any morbid desire to see petticoats in politics, or women in unwomanly offices. In fact, I bave too high a conception of woman's noble and god-like mission among us, to wish her to aeeoena irom tne appropriate snrine or see tbe prinolple, the sacred balo, dissi pated that should encircle her fair brow. Nevertheless, we need ber purifying In flnencc in politics and we must have it bhe must help ns, Lin the interest of re publicanism, elect the best ana truest men to tbe highest offices. Consequently, 1 approach and advocate woman'a suffrage far mora on these patri otic grounds far more as a civio and moral duty American women owe to their sreat country, tbat our political atmos pbere may become pnrifled than 1 would claim for them extended and special rights as down-trodden citizens of our great re public. Indeed, though unwritten, her rights are observed and ber views, though not promulgated, are respected, wblcb is the crowning glory or our American civil' lzatton. Nevertheless, I bold tbat woman needs more than she probably desires an exten sion of her civil rights. But as I ssy, I appeal more to the American woman's sense of doty to help us regenerate onr corrupt politics by ber enlightened vote. than I would aek her to step fiom the sacred home circle to gain for herself pollt- cal rights and office, from wblcb she nat orally shrinks. And in this I am snre every true woman will understand and ap prove me, Yours very truly, Daniel B. Strong.

Britons Do Not Take Readily to Water Scenes in Westminster Abbey -Basso Burns Discovers the Dust of a Regal Ancestor. Special Correspondence of The 7Vi6ie. London, Sept. 2. n AVING u day or two to spure we L-l rau up t London from where 1 we no on to Card i II' this week. J U Knowing Unit we should have to Hiiuteh ourselves away from the be wilderiuK fairyland at a moiueut's no tiee alter today we made the most or our opportunity, and staitea outwent seeing bright and early this Sunday mornlnx. jarst we went to the Italian Catholic church, here fmioii for its line music, and, us good luck would have it, had the pleasure of hearing Gounod's "Solemn High Muks." very well sung, considering the fact that the soprano was a young man of zU or zi years or age, while the alto loosed even much older, and was a man also. It reminded me very forcibly of the accounts I had read of the Pope's choir at fct. Peter's, Rome, lu which there are also uo female voices, the soprano and alto parts being taken by men as old sometimes as (JO years. I was sitting tlieie enjoying the mu sic, and, of course, listening to the so prano.when.as 1 listened, it grew upon me that some parts of her voiee were very unsympathetic and unieciing. so I looked looked up to see how old or now young she was, or wtiat sortoi a temuerumeut her face might betray, if I could see it, and behold, there was the voice coming from the throat or a very grown up man, and the alto by his slue even older still. However, it was all very fine, and to add to the beauty of it there was full orchestral accompaniment with the organ also. IN WESTMINSTER AH11EY. In the afternoon we mounted a 'bus, and perched up on the outside of it, sailed through the streets at a great rate, down to Westminster abbey, where we walked through the dim, beautiful cloisters until time for after noon service, which we attended. How wonderful It all is! Who cuu help growing poetical over the abbey? We wandered about looking at the in scriptions in the stones in the lioor, and of course, being a Protestant, I was pleased to llnd the graves ot the clnl dren of John Wesley, brother of Charles, in my wandrrini's, while Mr. and Mrs. Burns, being Cut holies, were much interested in a stone over the grave of twenty or more monks burled there in the fourteenth Ci-ntiiry, after the great black plague. The service was beautiiui. iso otner word count describe it. The boy choir here is, of course, Irreproachable, and their sing ing of the serious English anthem music is nothing short ot exquisite, while they iook lor an tne worm iiKe a Hock of little angels, with I heir sweet, serious little fuces, shiuing in the light. We took In the great St. Paul's cath edral In the evening, attending ser vice there. Of course I do not wish to talk like a guide book or rave like a maniac over the churches, but. In truth, they are most beautiful, and St. Paul's cathedral comes after Westmin ster In point of beauty and sliiKinir also. Here again we lis tened to the boy-choir singing for which England has become so famous. It is beautiful and really, exquisitely cornet, but I do uot likfl these bov voices on everv occasion. There is only one word by which to describe this music, and that Is. churchly. They make serious and churchly music, but how J long to hear a woman's exquisite voice in church here. The boy's voice, no mat ter how well trained, has uot that wonderful expres-ion and sympathy and pathos which a woman has. How can it, when be is only a boy, with little or no emotional nature about him? No, I do not lil to hear a boy sing church music. He doesn't meau a word he slugs, nor feel a bit of it, either. He Is a sort of pretty little parrot, mat's an. THE LONPON IUS. We saw other famous churches dur ing the day, attending four sen ic s in all, so our cousclHices are clear on church-going score, tit leuat. What struck me as one of the oddities of London Is that the drivers all drive to the left, on the streets. Instead of the right, as we do at home. Everything Is arranged In that way, aud it is sometimes very confusing to us Amur- leans. I like the London busses very much indeed. You can board tbeiii anywhere, and In summer the nicest places are way up ou top, where there are more seats man mere are insiue, in fact. Seated up there, career ing through the streets at a great rate, looking down into the streets and windows it taises almost no en rt of the imagination to persuade myself that I am on the top of a very swell hour-in-haud instead of a 'bus. The sights are so beautiful that I Immedi ately forget, on taking my place there, that, I naid only tuuoeiieo for it. and as the horses are so far below me that I cannot see them at all, I sometimes come back to myseir from some high flown journey through the air with a start, to hear the conductor or the driver call the name or my destination Another thing I like Very much is that you can see all over town without trying to look through a lot of tele graph and 'phone wires. The air is perfectly devoid of them, even If it is not so guiltless of fogs. They are all underground somewhere, thank good ness. BRITISH BEVERAGES. The people here dr'uk tea. They do not go in for coffee, and Indeed, make it rather poorly, too, buvthetea is on at every meal as regularly as tbe table cloth Itself. I do not admire it much, III Yf crcii noict utaTtuej, c nwubw of that drink. But the most difficult thing to get lsadiln';of water, and when one does get it, it is not cold Thev drink ale. beer, wine, coffee, tea: but water no. It must always be asked for at meals, lr you wish to get It. and then It is luke-warin. The stores here are magnificent and so cheap! This afternoon, during our rambles, we passed through a retail part or tne city, and cnugnt a glimpse of some tailor-made dresses with un commonly oheap labels on them, In a window, we went closer, ana literal ly flattened our American noses against the glass in devouring the beautiful things with our eyes. As I said before, ' it was Sunday, luckily for our purses. Tomorrow I am going to run down to Westminster abbey again, and I want to go by the underground tram way tnis time, to see what it is like. it win be a new sensation, but tbat is nothing over here. New sensations are the order of the day for a green lit tle American like me. SECOND VISIT TO THE ABBEY. Sept. 8. Went to do Westminster abbey this afternoon. I think I saw it all. I am sure I hope I did, for it was certainly enough to see. I 'Was much Interested In the chapel where all the kings and queens are buried, us well us the one in which they are crowned. I looked ut the coronation chairs and all the old swords and shU ldsand such things, but what in- leresied me most was me poets' cor ner, where we saw Chaucer's. Dryden's and Milton's memorials. I liked the bust of Handel and the bas relief of Jeuuy Lln'd underneath it, with "I know that my Redeemer ltveth" around her head. Of course I paid nomage t- the bust ot L,ongteiiow placed there. It is very lunching to see the faded little rosebuds, leaves of myrtle nnd ivy, and other tokens of love and regard which Americans leave at the foot of the statue as they pass by. Une sees so many ditlerent kinds of people here on the street'!. The bold sojer boy element Is always prominent and is at nrst almost runny. They wear such funny, padded coats, und suuh ridiculous little hats on the tons of their heads. And then the bright red uniforms are so conspicuous. The genuine dude is to be seen here, too, in his native haunts, stepninir along carefully lest he joggle the creases in ins trousers, anu me preiiy I'.ngiish girls, iu whose wake he al ways follows, are just perfect. Tall, fair. rosy, of line nhvsioue. thev are a joytotheeye. I like London police men, ioo. rr,ey are a nue lot or lel lows. They are always very well in formed, in every sort of weather, and are large aud imposing looking, and very obliging, as well. Whenever I want to know which train or 'bus to take, a policeman is always around to be good to me and put me on the right one. We begin work tomorrow, stinting for CarditT. The little Interim of rest has been delightful. I am not going to bother you with any predictions. Our party, however, is in excellent ncaitu and spirits. We get alone to gether like turtle doves. The other day, in Westminster Abbey,Mr. Burns iounu tne tomb or an Irish king, his ancestor; and what did he do, the ir reverent man, but dance above the sa cred dust. If that bit of Yankee im piety shall not hoodoo us on this trip, we ought to meet with fair success. But fair or foul, we are now lu for it. and my next letter will not be written until we shall have made the initial pluuge. Sadie E. Kaiser. BICYCLE CHAT. There are no less than 200cvclintr dresses for women invented up to date. iJiny raxis has been very anxious to try his speed at Kiverton. He will go for a record there on the night of Sent. 23. cheerfully remarked a benevolent old gentleman, as he sprinkled a pound of uicKs snout tne road. Miss Minnie Walden rode a mile In 2..jS at St. Louis recently. She was paceu by Tom Coburn and Charley Anderson, local scorchers. Joseph Howard, an 11 year-old lad. rode d mile at St. Louis recently with pacemakers in 2.17 1-5, which is the fastest time for such a youngster, as far as is known. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil millionaire, who was a devoted ad mirer oftrotting and pacing horses and who owns many valuable animals, has taken to bicycling lately and has al most wholly given up the use of horses for outing. Said the successful competitor in a cycle race when called upon for a speech: "Gentlemen, I have won this cup by the use of my legs. I trust 1 may never lose the use of my legs by the use of this cup." An Irishman, noticing some lady scorchers, was heard to remark that "he saw no reason why they should noi make good racing men." "I love to take you out?" he cried: "Your grace adds charm to all the views." "Oh, Jack," his tandem girl replied, ''Do tell me something that is news!" There is no doubt about it. The bi cycle girl has adopted the masculine trousers. Although a few of the more conservative of the dear creatures cling to the "divided skirt," the majority have frankly gone over to "pants." as the careful observer can see tor himself by watching the wheelwomen on any stieet in San Francisco. It is all right so long as ine dainty little riders Keep seated on their artificial steeds. But when they get down and walk! No; it is wear mat syipn-nuo elegance can be associated with skirts adoue.

Having in mind the recent discus sion in this paper betweeu Mr. Carter ana Mr. morgan, the Wilkes-Uarre Heooru says editorially: "If music is the language of the soul and an expres sion of the heart it is because the great composers enriched it with their deep and powerful natures, infusing it with a warmtti una u nohinty or sentiment that leavens and widens the sphere of human emotions. The great ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity, which nave revoiutiouieu tne world, lormeu the very basis of Beethoven's immortal creations, while the religious thought and food which the human race con stantly hungers for iuspired Pales trina, Bach and Handel to compose nearly all of their great works. Again, the breadth of enlightened culture, a wealth of beautiful Ideas and a fertility of charming imagiuation animated MenaeiHsonn, Schubert and Schu mann when at work, proving that music can reach the highest expres sion as a language for the emotions and feelings. If the music of the mas ters is not the music of the soul then what music is? Surely not that of the apprentices i who, acquainted with the simplest melodic form only, essay to compose for the unthinking aud un tutored, such music inav be catchy, easily sung or hummed over, but it can not possess depth of feeling, nobility ot conception or reflect refinement, polish and elegance of form. Such alleged music is a detriment to real music and hasten the day when a tommon ac ceptance of this fact will finally de velop a broader and better appreciation of the tonal system as exemplified in the works of the great geniuses." An amusing instance illustrating the ideas people entertain regarding mu sical Instruction was related yesterday by Professor Schilling, whose studio is situated at 209 Washington avenue and is designated by a sign that reads: "Schilling Music School." A well dressed lady entered Professor Schil ling's studio one day this week and began to ask all manner of questions regarding voice culture, stating that she desired instruction for her daugh ter. The visitor was particularly desir ous to see the credentials of the in structors, and expressed some surprise at the excellent European certificates shown by both Madame Schilling and the professor. She finally agreed to send her daughter for instruction, at the same time stating that she did not see how with such credentials they couldaflordtoteachatlow rates. Asthe bargain was being closed the lady in quired the length of a lesson. "Oh, as long as desired," remarked the profes sor carelessly; "we charee a dollar and a half an hour." "Dollar and a half an hour!" shrieked the woman. "Why, your sign downstairs says that you give lessons for a shilling!" As soon as the good woman had been made aware of the blunder her face assumed a scarlet hue and she rushed down stairs without leaving her address, and it is presumed is now looking else where for vocal instruction at job lot rates. - The Seranton School of Music, which is under the direction of Tallie Morgan, has issued a neat sixteen page pamphlet which contains the names of over 700 students, senior and junior, that attended the various sight-reading classes last winter, together with much valuable information for the coming season's work. No one questions for a moment but that Mr. Morgan is a very successful teacher of this much needed branch of musical education. It is an interesting sight to see one or two hun dred children, the oldest not over 14. taking down fairly difficult melodies in figures ana sing them at sight Then to see them translating these figures into notes. Heretofore nearly all the city classes have met in the koung Men's Christian Association buildinsr. but so nonular has the school become that Mr. Morgan has decided to secure a building exclusively for the school. The advanced class, compris ing tne memrjers or last season's aauit classes, will meet in the Young Men's Christian Association hall next Mon day evening. A class for children will be formed in the same place this after noon at 1 o'clock. Before Mr. Moody left the city he advised the committee in charge of the tent campaign to engage the ser vices of Tallie Morgan as conductor of musk!. This has been done, and Mr. Morgan will take charge at Providence next Sunday evening. A goapel choir will be organized at the Providence tent tomorrow uiternoon at 4 o'clock. aud all singers, whether they now be long to auy choir or not, are Invited to be present. Mr. Morgan will have a choir of 100 voices, which will render special selections. Members of the Sacred Music society are especially re quested to be present sunuay evening. The choir will sing beside gospel nymns several anthems.

It was throueh Mme. Nordlca's offices that the young tenor nau an opportunity to sing at Bay reuth. and he was one of the Parslfuls He is a Hungarian whom Mme.

The marriage of the American prima aonna attracts particular atten tion at this time from the fact that the perennial rumor of her first husband's appearance bas been again revived. He was Frederick A. Gower, to whom the singer was married in 1883. He was a newspaper man at the outset of his career and grew wealthy through his interest in the Bell Telephone com pany, which he did much to promote In Europe, After a short married life MUSICIANS the couple disagreed Aid a suit lookini? to a divorce between them was pend1 ing when Gower started from Havre to cross the English Channel in a bal loon. This was in July. 1885. and Gower has never been seen since, although he is reported to bave ap peared at various places. The place of his latest appearance was London, where somebody Is said to have seen him last spring. Mme. Nordica settled a suit against his estate for a sum said to have been $40,000, and spent a great deal of it on her musical education, al though she was regarded as a very promising singer when she married Gower. Her improvement within the last few years has been remarkable, and ber work at the Metropolitan upera nouse lust season placed her in the first rank of dramatic singers. The Production fr.
