READING, PBYNA., Jan. o. Species s
church, about six miles from this place
is at present enjoying sensation,
caused by the fact that one portion Of
the congregation wants to get rid OF an
Objectionable organist, while the other
insists that hs shall continue in the
position he has filled for long period.
Two congregations worship in ths build
ing-Luthersan and Reformed. The
Rev. 7. r. Jaeger is Pastor Of the for
mer, aud the Rev A. William c. Lein-
bach Of the latter. The organist is
William c. Keller, who has occupied the
position for over 25 years, The objec-
tiou to him by some of the members is
that he does not play modern music but
continues toplay tunes snitable to our
foreiathers. At an election for Trus-
tees a few days ago, two persons who
have occupied the position fer years
were voted out on account of their pre-
ference for the present organist.

RaOr DAMAGES DIsCU ssER.
The Regular MeevlnR Of COuucl
Last Mig hs - Bills for Damages
hoF 70 be Paid-Other Business.

The question of the payment OF dam
ages sustained by citizens III the riot o.
last October at Ninth and WalDnl
streets, vGs called up in Council q! It's
regular meeting last night. The La"
Com nittse reported adversely to the
payment Of all claims for damage
growing out Of the riot. The report
was ouly signed by the Democ'atie
members, it having been made against
the wishes Of Messrs. Rodney and
Beecher.
Mr.. Rodney opposed the report, say
ing that through the techntcslitles OF
the law the city might be able to avoid
payment, but 1t would certainly not b4
inst. 0ut. Of justice to those people
the bills should be paid.
Col. Taylor spoke at some length III
advocacy of the report, and several
other members teok part. The report
Of the committae was finally adopted.
(The aggregate amount OF the GLAZING Is
3400.-REroRTER.)
Subsequently Mr. Rodney moved that
notwithstanding the report, the hill-
for riot damages be referred to the 70
lice Committee for investigation. lie
| did this in order that the amount o.
damage which these people sustained
from no fault Of theirs, could be ascer'
tanned. This was lost by q strictly
party vote. After Col. Taylor had ad,

matter in court.

NEW sEua@rlaY OF TaESAyx
zen. Marian Son, of West VaTEin:a
Nominated aud C0n nH an6d.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Presiden'
to-day nominated Gan. G0ff, OF West
Virginia, to bs Secretary Of the Navy,
and the Senate paid him the conpli
nent of confirming the nomination
without the customary reference and
delay. On the breaking Cnt OF the re
bellion Gen. Goff entered the Union
Army as Colonel Of the Third West
Virginia Regiment, and was promoted
TO the grade of Byigsdier-deneral for
distinguished services. He was sp-
pointed United States District Attorney
for West Virginia by President Gran;
in 1872, and was reappointed by Presi-
lent Hayes in 1877, which position he
continued to hold until appointed Sec
retary OF tae Navy. Several years ago
ne was candidate for Congress on the
Republican ticket, but was unsuccess'
ful, aud subsequently he was an un-
successful candidate on the same ticket
for the Goverrorship OF his State. Gen.
Gpff is a man of fne ability and accom-
plishment, and IL possessed OF large
wealth. He has always been an earn
est and consistent Republican, and in
all .he political campaigns in West
Virginia has taken an active part
and rendered Efficient services. The
best evidence Of his worth and popular
.ty is furnished by the fact that the
two Democratic Senators from West
Virginia approved his nomination and
asked for the immediate and favorable
action of the Senate. Gen. Gof is now
in the city, and will erter upon his
duties tomorrow. This evening the
West Virginia Republican Association
of this city called upon the new seore-
tary and congratulated him upon his
appointment.

Why Persons Shore.

| IL may not be generally known that it is
the vibration OF the geium pendulum Edtati
which causes snoring, but II is no less mat
ter of interest to great many people who
either snore themselves or are annoyed by
snorers.
DIR. Lewis H. Sayre, of Fifth-avenue, was
asked why people snore
Because they don't shut their mouths"
he said.
"What Is snoring?"
"Well, it's common enough" said DR..
Sayre, and in an off hand fashion he ex-
planned that snoring Is a noise made In the
posterior part of the mouth and nasal fDss.c
during the moments Of inspiration. Ii is due
TO a relaxation of the leodtor palaf nollis and
the csrc,anferus pataii in sleep, by which the
cel,taa pendulum palati is left free to vibrate
or flap in the two currents Of the air which
enter ut the same time through the nostrils
and the mouth, Besides the vibration of the
gotttna pendulum pdtats or soft palate there is
also vibration of the column of air itself
Thusis produced the rasping, snorting noise
so well known and so unpleasant to every
one within earshot Of the placid snorer him

PLATONIC.

knew IL the first of the summer
| knew 1t the same in the end
That you and your love were pighted,
But couldn't You be my friendY
Couldn't we sit in the twilight,
Couldn't we walk on the shore,
With only pleasant friendship q
To bind us, and nothing moreY
There was never a word of nonsense
Spoken between us two,
Though we fingered oft In the garden
Till the roses were wet with dew
We touched on a thousand subjects
The moon and the stars above;
But our walks were tinctured with science
With never hint of love.
"a wholly platonic friendship"
You said had proved TO you,
Gould bind man and woman
The whole long season through,
With never thought Of folly,
Though both are in their youth"
What would you have said my lady,
If you had known the TRUTH
Had done what my mad heart prompted
Gone down on my knees TO you,
And told you my passionate story
There In the dusk and dew;
My burning, burdensome story,
Hidden and hushed so long,
My story of hopeless loving
Say, would you have thought il wrongS
But | fought with my heart and conquered
hid my wound from sight
You are going away in the morning,
And | said a calm goodnight
But now, when sit in the twilight
Or when walk by the sea,
That friendship quite 'platonic"
Comes surging over to me
And a passionate longing fills me
For the roses, the dusk and the dew
For the beautiful summer vanished
For the moonlit talks--and you
