THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.
interesting Services at Powers's Opera
House Last Night.


The Harvest Festival services, in behalf
of the Unitarians, last night, drew out a very
arge attendance, people being obliged to
stand on the lower floor and in the dress
circle. The stage was profusely decorated
with wheat sheaves, corn, fruit, &C., all
the service was to give appropriate
attention to Thanksgiving. The choir
vas considerably enlarged, and
he music was furnished by Powers Opera
House orchestra. The latter must not be
passed without a compliment for the able
the program, the music all being outside of
the style they are accustomed to playing.
rhe services opened with hymn by the
choir and orchestra. Then followed, inter
spersed with music by the orchestra, and
a harp solo by Mr.. William Miles
cises by the Sunday School children,
consisting of rectations pertaining, in senti-
ment, to the anniversary. Prof. Strong de
livered an address intended for the consid-
GRAFTON of the Sunday school class. He Of
fered many words of good advice to the lit
tie folks, cautioning them to avoid evil
and to strive to lead useful lives.
using by way of illustrations some interest
ing incidents. He was followed by DIR.
Brigham, who commenced by saying that it
was curious place TO bring doctor before
such large audience as this. He desired to
caution the young men in particular, and
counseled them to careful study of the
Bible that there is tendency in this age to
ignore and scoff at the Bible. Some refer
to the mistakes of Moses. All great men have
made mistakes. Moses performed great ser
vice when he led the people out of Egypt and
showed them the promised land. That proud
figure which has lived in history for 1000
years will shed its light down into the CEN
turies to come, and his teachings will live
ae long as we have civil code. The DIR.
said he owed much of his success in life TO
chapters his father used to read from the
Bible every morning The doctor closed
with some excellent advice to the children.
Rev. Henry Powers concluded the services
by giving brief outline of the object of the
Sunday School, and urged all who had no
fixed place of worship to join it. A collection
was then taken to secure funds with which
to procure suitable clothing for those clil-
dren who hesitated about going 10 the school
because their clothes were shabby. A hymn
was sung and services closed.

LETTER FROM Mr.. BAYNE.
An Explanation OF His Part in the
Trouble With the Braun's.


Trouble With the Braun's.
GRAND RAPIDS. Nov. 27.-To the Editor Of
The TELEGRAM: Having read your notice of
Braun's assault on me, am of the opinion
that it is calculated to do me an injustice
and that have right to more correct
statement of facts. / did not use Mrs.
Braun's letter as her statement would indi-
cate, but put it in the waste basket and have
not mentioned it. Your report makes me
say that have never made any statement
prejudicial to Mrs. Braun, and then you in
troduce witness whose identity you conceal
10 prove it false. Now what did and do
say is that have not said the things Braun
charged me with ON the street, words only
deemed proper in the society of such as con-
gregate in First Ward dive. / cannot ex-
press my disgust at being drawn into such
an affair, but must, it seems, pay the penalty
of an unwholesome business acquaintance.
The attack was one any man can make on
another for effect. Any statements have
made in regard to Mrs. Braun, am fully
prepared to substantiate in the courts, and /
earnestly desire the opportunity which was
my object in having Braun arrested.
Until this last brutal development have
felt different on account of others who must
suffer. In this matter feel that it has taken
a lifetime to build reputation, and any
person, however low, may tarnish it, as 1t
takes an architect to build fine residence,
but the vilest incendiary may destroy it. l
only ask simple justice without prejudice,
such prejudice as this cowardly attack is cal
culated to produce, and | challenge the most
thorough investigation of the whole matter
and the motive that prompted it.
Respectfully,
JAS. BAYNE.

In these days Of progress fhese i d.
mand for better means Of Illumination
than ever before The dazzling briili2ncy
Of the electric light makes our common
kerosene hmps a. dim as tallow dips in
the comparison. This demand has been
fully met by the Introduction OF the Sun
Lamps They are necessarily made of
metal because the draft or chimney ex-
tends down through the center Of the
lamp. The wicks are five inches wide and
give light of forty-fve candle power. equal
TO three gas burners. These lamps were
brought out al the close of last season, bat
the price was SO high-$e each-but few vere
sold Owing 10 the enormous demand which
has sprung up, they are now produced al
price within the reach of all, and sold for IS
IN brass and $3.50 in nickel. complete with
ten inch porcelain shade. To persons trou-
bled with weak eyes or those who desire 10
preserve their eyesight by means of a good
light, the Sun Lamp viii prove blessing.
The New Styles of Hanging Lamps are
made of a gold color solid bronze metal,
and trimmed with cut glass prisms and dec
GRATED shades. The dome-shaped shades
look the best, but we imagine the angle of
reflection from the cone shape is best for
throwing light down. These lamps are also
much cheaper than last year. They are now
sold at from So TO 81 each. Fine table
lamps are furnished with duplex or two
wick burners, giving double the light of the
single wick burners. There are many styles
of these lamps on exhibition, including solid
bronze and the popular hammered brass.

ALWAYS Victorious.

Wherever the Sohmer piano has been
placed in competition with other instru-
ments, 1t has come out victorious. In 1876
it received the first prize at the Centennial,
and again in 1881 the Sohrner was placed in
Montreal by the aide of the Steinway, Weber
and knabe, and received the first prize over
all on Baby Grands, which was the highest
and only one given. In 1882, at the same
place, the Sohmer Uprights we're crowned
with the first medal. The wonderful pianos
can be seen and purchased of Paul w. Fried
