I his ninety-fourth year, is be lieved to be the oldest living printer in this jurisdiction of the International Typographical Union. Mr. Munro is also a lay preacher of the Primitive Methodist Church, and. as printer and preacher has been active in religious and civic movements- for upward of forty years. Notwithstanding his ninety-three years and upward, the Rov.

Mr. Munro still takes a lively "interest in some of the movements he helped to inaugurate years ago for the advancement of industrial conditions and civic righteousness, and while still alert of mind and vigorous body, there appears to be reason to believe that he will round out at least a century of a useful, and honorable life. Tho Rev. Munro was born In Dundee, Scotland, November 1, 1815. and then laid the foundation of -the strong religious training that has marked his long and useful life, it was while assisting the teachers of the Dundee Weslcyan Sunday school that Mr.

Munro got started on a career as a printer. At that time in his fourteenth year, ho began his apprenticeship in the office of the Dundee Courier. "As I advanced In the art," he says, "I found it as an open door to usefulness a school to gain the rich treasures of many minds.

IN i HIS MUSIC NEXT WEEK. Wagner at One Opera House, Tetraz-, zini and Garden at the Other. Mendelssohn, in his musical 'conception of Shakfpcare's lightest and most fanciful play, Midsummer Night's Dream," showed himself simply in ihe. youth of a musical achievement, but he better interpreted the youthful-spirit of that vision of love and mirth. Never have the spirit of the music and the spirit of the play ben more harmoniously and faithfully blended as in tle production, which the Ben Greet Players and the Russian Symphony Orchestra are to give here next Thursday evening and Friday afternoon, at the Academy of Music.

That per formance promises to be a successful andJ filling opening to the eelebratlon of Mendelssohn's centenary, which the musical world now begins. The numbers of this music of Mendelssohn's are, many of them, old and familiar favorites. The production of the text is thoroughly Benr Grcetian. There will be no shift of scenes, no curtain division of acts, the whole being as unbroken as a dream of the' night. The costumes are true to and place, and the decorative draperies add greatly to the effect.

Mr. Greet's adaptation preserves in strong relief the comedy and fanciful features of the play, while discarding much of the havicr parts. The gracefudances bv Mrs. Lou Wall Moore fit fato the spirit of the music and the play. Mrs.

Moore i3 assisted -greatly in the second dance by a group of young girls and chll dren who, it may be Interesting to know, come from the Dorothy Dlx Home for the children of actors, at Boston. The 'Russian Symphony Society of New York, whose orchestra appears with the Bon Greet Players in '-'A Midsummer Night's Dream," was organized for the purpose of acquainting ihe American public with the notable works of the composers or the old and young Russian school, performed in a devotional spirit with the best possible artistic, ensemble.

Doings Among Mens Cluts I St.

Vincent de Paul Society Members at the Exhibit. Dr. John Earrigan, Archbishop Far-' ley, Dr. Darlington and Others Make Addresses. Some ver.y pertinent observations on the fight being waged in jGreater New York against tuberculosis were made at Ihe meeting held in the Museum of Natural History last night by the de.Paul by Dr.

John Harri-gan, chief of staff of St. Mary's Hospital, Brooklyn, and a member of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of the Spread of Tuberculosis. "If any interested person will, on a clear, calm day, preferably a week day, ascend the steeple of Trinity Church, or stand on the Brooklyn Bridge, or on the embankment that surrounds the reservoir near Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, and will ltrok around, he will observe a very interesting sight," 'said Dr. Harrigan. "The valley beneath will appear to be covered or flooded ith an atm.ospb.eric sea rendered' dark and dense by smoke and other emanations incident to the industries of a great commercial city.

Whosoever will act oni this suggestion will wonder that people can live and breathe" In such an atmosphere. The ordinance intended to discontinue the smoke nuisance and to prevent other emanations from contaminating the air is not sufficiently rigid; or If so, it is not properly enforced. Commissions have been appointed for various purposes; why not appoint one whose duty it would be to keep the air "Localities in which overcrowding obtains and sanitation Is neglected (there are-many such within the limits of Greater New York) centers from which disease may be disseminated in all directions. These centers are a menace to the entire city. The owners of property so located should co-operate with the health authorities in their endeavor to maintain proper sanitary conditions.

''There is reason to expect that the pure food -law will diminish the prevalence of tuberculosis, particularly it (ts regulations are enforced with regard to the meat and the milk supply. -At present the requirements of the pure food law are enforced, with regard to meat only to a limited extent, and with regard to milk are not enforced at all The safeguarding of milk is intrusted to state boards of health, to the health boards of cities and to milk commissions. That meat and milk should be produced unaer proper conditions, and should be carefully inspected, is a matter of vital importance to the consumer. Examinations made by competent veterinarians show that tuberculosis Is common among Cattle, from ten to twenty per cent, being so affected. Milk from tubercular cows may infect those who use It.

"In Brooklyn, certified milk can be had at. a slight Increase in cost. This milk is produced tinder the supervision of a milk commission. It. Is believed that good resulted from Its use Statistics show that during the time, this commission has been In mortality has decreased, and it is the opinion of competent observers that the use of certified milk, that is to say clean, pure milk, is a factor in this reduction.

True, this reduction applies to the diseases Incident to hot weather, but It Is believed that it applies to tuberculosis as well. "The Charliy Organization Society for tho Prevention of Tuberculosis is engaged in a praiseworthy undertaking, and Its members are entitled to the cordial co operation Bnd the best wishes of all who take a kindly interest in the welfare of their fellow-beings. Compared with the crusade begun by this society, all other crusades appear small and insignificant, and in this undertaking all mankind should join in wishing them Godspeed." The introductory address last night was delivered by Thomas M. Mufry, who acted as chairman of the meeting. He was followed by Archbishop Farley in i an eloquent address.

Dr. Thomas Darlington, president of the New York Board of Health, spoke on "Individual Co-operation." telling of the great good that, can be accomplished in the fight against germs by individual effort on the part ot citizens. A very instructive paper on "Diseases of the Throat and Nose and Their Relation to tho Health of the Individual" wa3 read by Dr. Francis J. Qulnlan, professor of diseases of the nose and throat in the medical department of Fordham University, and formerly president of the New York County Medical Association.

The following Brooklyn men were on the committee of arrangements: Rev. P. J. McNamara, vicar general of the diocese of Brooklyn: the Rev. William J.

Whl! D. supervisor of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Brooklyn; Thomes W. Hyncs, president of the Particular Co tncll of Brooklyn, and Thomas P. Mulligan. Joseph Kunkel, P.

MAHAFFY'S LECTURE. Talk on Greek Poetry Before Brooklyn Institute Audience. Professor J. P. Mahaffy.

M.A., the noted Greek scholar and fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, closed his American lecture trip by addressing a large Brooklyn Institute audience at the Academy of Music last evening on "Creek Poetry and Its Influence on English Poetry." Principal Julian W. Abernethy, Ph.D., of Berkeloy Institute, president of the Brooklyn Institute's department of philology, presided, and paid high tribute LP Professor Mahaffy's life work of popularising the study of Greece and its language. After mentioning some of the early Greek' literature. Professor said that it Is doubtful if Ms language was ever a spoken language In the sense of being a language of the people, so the writer must be well trained for his work, must belong to a certain school, and Greek writers of the Walt Whitman kind were Impossible. Characteristic of Greek poetry is the fact that It does not exaggerate; its sentiment is clearly expressed and its good taste has never since been excelled and seldom equaled.

It must tie remembered fhat.lt was prepared for a listening and not a reading audience, and was expected to have the assistance of music and dramatic action. This secured dignity and brevity. Milton most shows the influence of Greek verse among the English poets. AUXILIARY CLUB CONCERT. The third concert of the People's Symphony Club, devoted to chamber music.

Something' like, five years ago the Presbyterian Department Church and Labor inaugurated the plan of the exchange of fraternal delegates between central labor unions, and ministers associations, says' the.

Following are a few extracts from letters recently received in my office. A bollermaker in Iowa writes for the -working-men of his city: "Tho ministers could help us; they arc learnel men and tholr' advice would oft- times bo helpful jn decld-iug 'questions of Importance. Also, thoy have an opportunity-to speak a good word for the worltlngman coming from them, would carrri- much weight." A printer from Massachusetts writes: "One effective way of holpiag would be to attend all the meetings possible of the Central Labor- Union; and by his advice many things which tappet) in the labor world would be averfe'd." About a -California minister a work-Ingman writes: "His advice and counsel have been of much benefit to our organization, occupying as he- does, one of most Important pulpits in the city.

To broaden his knowledge and fit him self the better for the practice of his chosen calling. Mr.

Munro attended the evening schools during the winters and took up shorthand writing, the study ot the Greek New Testament and Latin until he had finished his apprenticeship, in 1SD7. He then went to London and pb-tained a situation on Punch, but he remained in the British metropolis for. only a few months. Of his experiences among London printers, which were, in many respects similar to those 'of Ben Franklin, be says: "To my astonishment a man dressed in hotel garb went dally to every printer (in the office) and asked for orders, cfter 'which he would serve mugs of ale, beer or porter." While in London Mr. Munro wilnesscd the ceremonies attendant, upon the proclaiming of Victoria Queen of England.

Shortly after leaving London and while employed on a Sheffield paper Mr. Munro began agitating for the organization pf a national typographical union in England. There were at that time several independent typographical unions; in existence in Sheffield, and he sought' to interest them in the brotherhood with the result that the spirit of national unity was soon spread broadcast through- out the city. Later on, Mr. Munro ins gone to York' and continued his agitation along the same lines, the 'print-ei's of that town likewise saw the advantages to be derived from.

the formation of a national union. So by slow but sure processes the spark which had been kindled in Sheffield became a flame, and a few years subsequent to 1839, the date of Mr. Munro's first active agitation, duly accredited delegates from the independent unioos assembled in London and organized the National Typographical Union of England. Following a successful career as print- er ana secretary ot 10m movement by some, ministers never Union, Mr. Munro devoted his efforts to in correct, one.
