effect at once grand, artistic and imposing:
The mere mention of such distinguished
vocal stars as Madame Pappenheim,
the acknowledged queen of dramatic prima
donnas, Mathilde Phillips, the favorite con-
tralto, whose rich. beautiful and powerful
voice has delighted audiences the country
over: Madame Mae Pryce, soprano singer
with a voice of melodiOus sweetness; My
ron Whitney, the greatest of American
bassos: Mr.. Charles Fritsch, who possesses
tenor voice of great range and OF the
purest quality; Mr.. S. E. Jacobsohn, the
violnist; Mr. Charles POttgeiser, Paul
Stoeving, Frank Wood, w. II. Buckelew,
John IL. Donohoe, have talent OF the high
est order, and whose powers are TOO
well known to require extended mention at
this time-al combine to make an ensemble
altogether unsurpassed in its excellence.

REDUCED PRICE OF SEATS.
Owing to the fattering sale OF season
tickets the past week the management has
decided to pOpulariZe st. PauFS first great
musical festival by reducing the price OF the
best reserved seats from $3.50 and 80 to -
and 81 so. This is 81 per seat less than
charged at the June festival at Minneapolis
last year, and considering the half-doZen or
more really great artists who will appear
during the festival this reduction will result
in crowding each of the five concerts to
overlooking. The intention of the manage
ment is to make this great musical event
popular by putting it within the means of
all to attend.
The sale of single tickets for the general
public opens tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock.

AN EASTER MEMENTo,

DIR. Taylor repeated the Silkworm's Song
in his Easter sermon in the Broadway taber-
nacle. saying he had been thrilled by the
words in the sermon of great preacher in
Scotland more than thirty years ago, but al
though he had been searching for them ever
since he had not found them until the previ-
Gus week. The following is the poem, and
was written by Francis S. Key:l
THE sILKwoRMs SONG.
Oh let me alone. I've work to be done,
That can brook not a moments delay,
While yet breathe, must spin and weave,
And may rest not, night or day.
Food and sleep will never know
Till my blessed work be done,
Then my rest shall be sweet, in the winding
sheet
That around me I have spun.
have been base and groveling thing
And the dust of the earth my home;
But now know that the end of my woe
And the day of my bliss has come.
In THE shroud make, this creeping frame,
Shall peacefully die away:
Blu its death shall be new life to me
In the midst of its perishing clay.
I shall wake, shall wake glorious form
shall burst from the gloom of my opening
tomb,
And breathe in the balmy air.
I shall spread my new wings in the morning
sun.
In the summers breath III live:
will battle me where, in the dewy air,
The flowers their sweetness give.
/ viii not touch the dusty earth.
III spring to the Frightening sky,
And free as the breeze, where'er please,
On joyous wing III fly.
And wherever go, tinid mortals may know.
That like me from the tomb they shall rise;
And the dead shall be given, by signal from
heaven,
A new life. new home in the skies.
Then let them like me make ready their
shrouds.
Nor shrink from the mortal strife:
And Ike me they shall sing. as TO heaven they
spring.
Death Is not the end Of life.

to the bottom of the DRESS were lined with
strawberry plush, and fastened over
the arm by jeweled ornament. A close
undersleeve was bordered at the wrist with
the fur. A peculiar-shaped hat of the cloak
material. trimmed with fur, completed the
0ut-Of-door garments, which, upon being
removed disclosed dress of the richest
shade of heliotrope velvet, the long plain
train lined with paler shade OF the same
beautiful hue and the sides of the skirt
draped in graceful Turkish folds.
THE TABLIER OF SATIN
was richly embroidered with black pearls,
turquoise and sapphires. Decollete corsage,
with long de MediciS points and laced in
the back, necklace and armlets OF pearls,
completed this exquisite toilet. 1t may be
interesting to know that the jeweled decora
ton worn by Miss Davenport with this
dress, was one used by her father during
his theatrical career, having been presented
to him by Macready thirty years ago, who
also wore it. NIacready received it as gift
from the hands of Edmund Kean.
The second dress was of heavy white satin
embroidered with gold, the train lined with
melted cloth of gold. The festOOned satin
sides of the train were entirely covered with
gold drops pendant; corsage pointed heart
shape; no sleeves, and gold roll edging
the shoulders and neck. The gloves were
unique. They were made of point lace
from wrist to elbow; then section of kid,
with a finishing of white lace at the top.
Miss Davenport with this regal costume
wore profusion of diamonds, with Orna-
ments of the same stones in her hair.
THE THIRD DRESS
was the same style as that of last season.
The white material is novelty in texture.
1t is grained and looks like flexible marble
if one could suppose such thing. The
Russian sable of last year is replaced by
the silver fox, with a petticoat matching
the fur in color.
The fourth and last dress had train and
low corsage of heavy gray velvet, with
large raised medallions of lighter and
darker shades of the velvet, each en-
broidered with tiny silver forget-me-nots.
The gray velvet opened from the end of the
train to the tops of the low corsage, over a
high-necked roll of red velvet, with red
velvet elbow sleeves. The tablier of pale
pink satin, straight, very full and shirred
at the top, where it met the corsage, and
entirely covered with gold medallions sus-
pended from tiny ruby chains. Shell-pink
satin lined the train"

Crossing the Line.

The custom of having a farcical GER
emony aboard ships crossing the equa-
tor is not much observed any more.
Captain Donald decay, ''an old sea
dog" said to a reporter few days ago:
1.-THE custom of celebrating the event
of the ships crossing the line is no
longer observed In my day it was
one af the most exciting experiences of
sailors life. On some of the ships it
was carried on to an extent that almost
endangered the lives of the victims, and
the passengers and green hands on
board the ship quaked with fear as they
watched the preparations for the COM
ing event. The sailors who had ne yer
crossed the line tried all sorts of moves
TO escape the punishment that awaited
them. Very often the green hand
would be one who would work hardest
to prepare for the victimizing, but they
do not escape on this account Then
when the search for novices began the
sailors would generally all say that
they had crossed the line. Where
were you bound for?' would then be
asked Rio, perhaps would be the
reply. We'll, what did you see in Rio?'
And go lie would be brought to the
rack. The custom used to be to pick
out a fine swimmer to personatc Nep-
tune. and the first sight of the sea god
would be from the ships deck as he
swan along Ieside the vessel, with
crown on lis head and trident in his
hand. The Capsain thought the Gus
tom was too good one TO be allowed

Dakota Girl Farmers.

New stories constantly appear of girl
farmers who are making fortunes in
Dakota. These stories are not lies, but
when they get into print there is a halo
of romance about them which docs not
exist in Dakota. These girl farmers are
not from among Colonel p DOMAINS
late importations of Boston blue stock
ings, but were of the pioneers who went
into the Territory six or eight years
ago, and they are ladies who offer no
inducement to the fortune-hunter. The
girl who has developed in Dakota is a
creature by herself; there is something
in the climate which gives her special
development, mentally ard physically,
and she rates a sweetheart as she would
horse. When a young man has fol-
lowed her on reaper half day around
hundred-acre wheat-feld he doesn't
quote any Tennyson at lunch, aud after
he has helped her to break in yoke of
steers he'd rather have arnica than ca
Desses. That is the reason we hear so
much of girl farmers in Dakota who re-
main single-they are so practical and
so seyere.-C Chicago Iribane.

and in passing planning mill the roof was
raised up and fell in front of him. He ran
around that, and about quarter of an acre
of tin roofing off factory came down in
his vicinity with sound of stage thunder,
and tried to cut his neck off. The
man escaped that and ran into a lot of tele-
phone wires. Escaping from the wires he
started to run out of town, with trees and
barns falling all around him, and he
thought he would take refuge in the exposi-
ton balding but as he was climbing over
the fence the cyclone took the building and
leyeled it to the ground. The man crawled
into a sheep pen in the fair ground, and
pulled some last years straw over him, and
there rode at anchor until the cyclone had
packed up its traps and gone. The man is
alive, and he imagines all the devastation
was the result of his attempting to pray If
he can be convinced that was not the cause
of it, he may conclude to turn over a few
thousand new leaves and be good and sew
eral missionaries are trying to convince him
that his amateur effort was not the cause of
the devastation. While a cyclone is not
pleasant companion, and seems to serve no
good purpose, the Sun does not wish to be
understood as speaking disrespectfully o.

All we want to know is, what is a cyclone
good for and where is it liable to shcw
next? We want to be absent--Pech's san.
