Mr.. Gilmore and his Band were greeted
with another full house last evening at
Pixies, and the audience were rewarded
with an excellent concert This Band
is establishing itself more firmly at every
appearance as the finest military Band
on the continent. The programme was
admirably rendered in every particular,
as the storms of applause and repeated
encores showed.
Mr.. Letebre, the saxophone player,
was greeted with demonstrations of de-
light on his appearance and rendered his
air from Bellini on the saxophone as to
elicit rounds Of applause, and TO cause
repeated and persistent demands for an
encore.
Miss Thursby, although suffering from
a severe cold as stated to those present
by MIR. Gilmore, again electrified the
audience by her pure, sweet, strong, well
| trained voice and her handsome intelli-
gent face and pleasing manner. AL.
| though quite hoarse and suffering from
the effects of her cold, she carried out
her part of the programme with satisfao-
| tion to every one present.
MIR. Arbuckle has certainly establish.
ed his claim to the highest homo as a
cornet player, and his solo last night
was eagerly listened to and applauded,
and an encore was fairly forced upon
him.
Altogether the concert was q great
| success, and our citizens will look anX-
iously for tue return of the Band at some
future day.

King Alfonso had an early introduce
tion to Americans, which, although of
little Importance in itself, is, perhaps,
worth relating under the present cir
cumstances. When quite young boy,
he was PUT at a certain Well-knoWn
boarding-school in Geneva. This school
was largely patronized by Americans,
and on the day OF Don Alfonso's arrival,
sundry sturdy young Republicans, see-
ing sullen boy, lonely and disconsolate,
were minded to be kind to him. So one
of them stepped up to the moping boy,
gave him friendly slap on the shoulder,
and cried: 'Hilloa, Spain, come and
play with usp9 Whereupon the young
gentleman drew himself up and informed
his schoolmates that he was a Prince
that he was not to be called SPAIN but
Your Royal Highness;' that he was not
to be touched by plebian hands, and that
he never associated with persons who
were not OF royal, or at least, noble
blood, Wen Prince you" quoth the
boys. So they treated the eXiled heir to
u good thrashing, by way of teaching
him good manners, and his mother forth
with took him away from school.

The intimacy between the late Samuel
Hooper and Charles Sumner was re-
markably close, probably the closest
friendship Of MIR. Summers life, and if
he had been living to-day he would have
appeared as the chief mourner at the
tomb of the departed Congressman. They
were intimate in Massachusetts before
Mr.. Hooper came to Congress, and when
he began his service in the House it
strengthened into something like lam
lily tie. During the last few years, the
residences of the two were close togeth-
er. They dined together nearly every
night, alternating at each others table,
and meeting there host Of mutual
friends. 1t was through this intimacy
that Mr.. Sumner became involved in the
marriage which emblttered the last years
Of his life. Mr.. Hoopers only son had
married handsome and beWitching
woman, who was left at the death of the
young man widow, with one little
daughter, the wards of Mr.. Hooper. M T..
Sumner naturally came into intima te
relations with the fascinating widow,
and the acquaintance finally grew into
an engagement to marry. The match
was encouraged by the senior Mrs.
Hooper. although Mr.. Hooper himself
advised Mr.. Sumner against it. At one
time, the match was nearly broken off,
but the lady is said to have insisted upon
it, and the melancholy result is known to
the world

A Raleigh, N. c., correspondent says:
A stran2e and ghastly machine is now
on exhibition at one OF the Matchmaking
establishments in this city. 1t is a clock,
said to have once belonged to Japan
ese Prince. description of which Is
here appended. In front of the clocks
disk is gong swung upon poles, and
near it is pile Of artificial human limbs
The pile is made up Of the full number
OF parts necessary to constitute twelve
perfect bodies, but all lie heaped together
in apparent confusion. When the hands
of the clock indicate the hour of one, out
from the pile crawls just the number Of
parts needed to form the frame of one
man, part coming to part with quick
click, and, when completed, the figure
springs up, seizes mallet, and walking
to the gong, strikes one blow. This done,
he returns to the pile and falls to pieces
again. When two o'clock comes two
men rise and do likewise; and at the
hour of noon and midnight the entire
heap spring up, and marching to the
gong, strike one after the other, his blow,
making twelve in all; then returning fall
to pieces as before

There are some people who will bear
watching, and Rev. &. .. King, of the
Ninth-street Baptist Church, seems to be
one of them. AT least he was handsome
ly watched by his congregation last eyen-
ing, and seems to be bearing the burden
to-day without murmur and with most
affecting humility. The watch was a
gold one and cost 5000.
The occasion Of the presentation was
the last social OF the Ninth-street Bap-
tist Church, under Mr.. Kings pastorage.
He leaves the city next week for his
home and studies in the East, having
filled the pulpit Of the church mentioned
with great credit to himself and pleasure
and profit to the congregation during his
temporary stay. AT the social at the
church last evening a handsome and
costly gold watch was presented him on
behalf OF his congregation, by Mr.. Ii. W.
Sage, and Mr. King to-day rejolees in
the substantial proof of that most ac-
ceptable testimonial to the true minis
ter, the confidence and love of his con-
grepatiOn.

The institution is intended to accom-
modate 400 students, under at least %
professors, and it VIII hold the same re-
lation to the higher education OF omen
as do the Colleges Of Oxford and Cam

Ofall the handy tools of the day there

portable hydraulic jack. 1t is made in
a compact form, is very light and strong,
and capable OF exerting immense force.
The smaller sizes are scarcely larger
that common cast iron cistern pump,
yet with one of these man can lift two
tons weight by a simple motion of his
hand; they range from this size up to
machines of one hundred and fifty tons
capacity. They are sold by the hundred
yearly, and enter into every branch Of
industry. Obvious as are their adyan-
tages their introduction was only effected
by the greatest persistence on the part
of the inventor; he carried one around
on his back from shop TO shop begging
manufacturers to employ them until as
their good qualities became known the
position was reversed, and manufacture
ers ran after the inventor, begging him to
furnish them.

Several important circumstances unite

Several important circumstances unite
TO give unusual interest to the solar
eclipse to occur in April next. The pro.
gress of solar chemistry has brought in
vestigators face TO face with problems of
universal reach and significance, for the
solution of which the four minutes of OBJ
scuration will be more valuable than as
many years Of laboratory work. A new
instrument, the siderostat, destined, it
is thought, to effect great revolution in
astronomical observation, will immense
ly increase the efficiency of spectrum
photography; and The conditions under
which the eclipse will be visible promise
better opportunities for the observation
of totality than can be enjoyed again be-
fore the close Of the current century, or,
more precisely, April 16, 1898. In not
one of the four eclipses which occur in
the meantime-1S7S, 1882, 1886, lSS7-or in
that OF 1900, will the duration OF totality
be so great, or the central line of the
eclipse present stations so favorable tor
seryation.-Scientifc American.

M. Teller suggests the use of sulphur
as a means of extinguishing fire on board

III. Teller proposes to cover wicks with
