The following is an extract from private
letter received here last Saturday from Mr.
Theodore Thomas:
II wish that my engagements had been
of that nature that l could have gone to
Cincinnati for few days and acquaint my
self with local affairs but that was impos-
sible and shall have to wait for that until
the beginning of October. We shall make
and be ready to make our announcements of
the opening of the school by the first week
in October; of course we shall not be in full
running order before some time in Novem-
ber but shall certainly open by the middle
of October, ready to receive pupils in the
principal departments,
''We are negotiating with Professors here
and have sent contracts to Professors in
Europe; it will take about ten days more
before matters can properly develop and
hear from Europe. But with the help of
the cable all our engagements will be com
pleted before the end of the month. We
have made some excellent and important
engagements, but l am not at liberty to
name them, as Col. Nichols intends to

Worth LIS Weight in Gold

Undoubtedly the greatest modern discov-
cry in medicine is DaCostas Radical Cure
for dyspepsia, sick headache, sour stomach,
costiveness, biliousness, loss of appetite, dis
tress after eating, and all disorders caused
by Indigestion or deranged liver. Its re-
suits are astonishing, and sure relief is
guaranteed in every case where it is faith
fully used. 1t tones up the stomach, reg
ulates the liver, restores the natural appe-
tite, strengthens the delicate and expels all
morbid humors from the system. Typhoid
and bilious fever might, in almost every
case, be prevented by its timely use. Trial

and a little perseverance cure you.

The Harmonic Society,

The regular weekly rehearsals of the
Harmonic Society began last Monday even
ing at Music Hall.
The Society will give, during the season,
at least four concerts at which will be per
formed Handel's oratorio of "Sampson" "
Haydns Seasons" MendelSsohn' s
"Athalie,' Verdfs "Requiem Mass" to-
yether with number Of smaller and
lighter works.
The male chorus of the Society," which
proved such an attractive feature of last
season, will continue its separate rehearsals
every alternate Wednesday evening during
ihe season, and will give separate perform
ances in addition to the regular concerts of
the Society, in which it will also take part.
The announcement is made that although
it is the intention of the Society to be more
strict in the requirements for active mem
bership than formerly, still it is not desired
10 exclude any one who has musical voice
with sufficient knowledge of the simple
rules of music to be able to learn and to
sing such compositions as the Society may
desire to present. The annual dues of active
members are IS.
Associate members, in return for their
annual dues of $40, receive two tickets of
admission to each of the concerts of the So
eiety and are entitled to the privilege OF
attending all the weekly rehearsals
The Harmonic Society is not endowed,
nor is it able to continue the good work in
The cause of music, for which It has so pa.
iently and faithfully labored for many
years, without substantial support from the
public. The Society has formed large
part of each chorus since the organization
Of the May Musical Festival in 1873, and
claims to have contributed in no slight de
gree to the success of these festivals, anG
therefore considers itself entitled to liberia
support from those music-loving members Of
our community to whom it has been largely
Instrumental in giving so much pleasure.

rising to blacken the clear September morn
ing. The little girl, whose face was fresh
and blooming as a rose in June, but whose
eyes were dull and leaden blank, for she
was blind, carried upon her arm a basket,
in which were pencils and little bits of bead
work, the scanty stock in trade with which
she gained her subsistence. The dew drops
still clung to the iron columns and sparkled
on the railngs, and when the warm sun
shine flooded the blind girls face her heart
grew light as a birds and her soul broke
forth in song. The world was beautiful to
her, although she saw it not, and the joy
with which she was inspired found utter
ance when her shrill childish voice rose
clear and sweet in that Sunday school song
so familiar to all, Let your hearts be al
ways cheerful" The early passers made
way for her respectfully; all except one,
wealthy merchant in his carriage
whose impatience to reach his counting
room and bury himself in the greedy cares
OF business, overcame every sentiment of
gentleness and humanity. The earth was
glorious in the morning sunlight to the
poor girl who had only poverty and blind
ness for her portion, but to this man who
was blessed with sight and the wealth to
command all things pleasing to the sight,
the world was gloomy and cheerless. She
in her simplicity whenever a human
voice greeted her ear, while he frowned
upon every face he met, and soured
the happiness of all who came in his way
He growled at the girl to get out of the
road in tone which for a moment drove
the light from her countenance, but when
he had passed the cloud fitted from her
face again, and once more the clear voice
f1oated out over the waters in the same in
Snjrinp strain. sc at haartc No q WaUc
cheerful"
The song was lost upon the sullen man
of business, but it frightened the day for
many an honest toiler who passed the sing
er by, while the fishermen on the river be-
low looked up in awe-struck silence at the
little blind girl who carried her matin song
SO far above them in the sunshine.
