lopes a strong leaning- towards govern-
mental laws which shall operate in all
States, doing away to a great extent with
State barriers.
The National Bankruptcy Law is un-
questionably a move in advance, and a
move which will materially assist the
mercantile interests of the country.
It is true also that business men are
finding it more and more expedient to
devote more time to the politics of the
country. Time was when a business man
engrossed in his own affairs paid little or
no attention to the management of our
political affairs. To-day he finds that his
interests are seriously affected by reason
of the indifference and inactivit)" of men
who control our political affairs. The
business is affected by politics, hence the
business man must take an interest in
politics. This we shall see more clearly
demonstrated as each year goes by.

ARTHUR TENBROECK ARRESTED AT EVANSVILLE
[Special to The Review.J
Terre Haute, Ind., June 8, 1898.
Detective Dwyer went to Evansville
this afternoon to arrest Arthur Tenbroeck,
formerly of this city, for embezzlement.
Tenbroeck is accused of embezzling about
$21, while working for Edward Noel, the
music dealer. It is said he collected all
the money he could, and then left a note
to his employer, saying he had gone into
the country to do some work. The police
have been trying to locate him for a
month or two. He was heard of at Nash-
ville, but skipped out before his arrest
could be accomplished. He has been at
Evansville about a week.

Gladstone the Musician.
Although Gladstone's love of music is
well known, I think that his biographers
and those who have written eulogies of
his greatness since his unfortunate death,
have neglected to state that in the midst
of other calls upon his time and mind he
found opportunity to write hymns, or,
more properly, put English hymns into
pther languages, "Jesus, pro me perfor-
atus, ' Mr. Gladstone's Latin adaptation of
"Rock of Ages," as set to music by Sir
Frederick Bridges, was written as far
back as 1848, and it was included in the
"Translations by Lord Lyttleton, and the
Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone," published in
1861.
By express permission of the lib-
eral leader, it was set to music by Sir
Frederick Bridges, for the Birmingham
Musical festival of 1885.
It is of full anthem proportions, with
accompaniment for orchestra or organ, and
after an instrumental introduction it opens
mournfully with a baritone solo and
chorus. There is a change to the major,
and a more hopeful tone at the words
analogous in the Latin to '' Not the labors
of my hands," and a fugue at "When I
rise to worlds unknown," the whole end-
ing peacefully with the theme of the
" Rock of Ages."
Mr. Gladstone's hymn translations also
include one in Italian, of Cowper's "Hark,
my soul, it is the Lord," published in the
Nineteenth Century, in 1883, and the
Latin, " Scis te lassum? scis languentem?"
adapted from Dr. Neale's " A r t thou
weary, art thou languid," to the English
version of which Sir Arthur Sullivan,
among numerous other musicians, has
composed a hymn tune, popularly known
as " Rest."
So it will be seen that the world of
music, too, can justly claim '' the grand
old man " as one of its disciples.

Dear Sirs:—I desire to express to you
my admiration of your most excellent
pianos. The concert grand which I played
during my recent tour with the Boston
Festival Orchestra was a most beautiful
instrument. The fine mellow, singing
tone, the power and brilliancy and the
very even action which responds to the
slightest touch, are but a few of the fine
qualities of your pianos. It is most grati-
fying to any artist to have such an instru-
ment to play on.
With renewed thanks,
I remain, Yours very truly,
Ann Arbor, Mich.

to Messrs. Scrimshaw & Roy the contract
to erect the large brick building to be
