a Michigan Central Scheme.

The Michigan Central Road is again to
the front with an attraction for Its passen-
gers which promises to become as famed As
their great cantiever bridge. Since the
company began running its trains over the
bridge AT Niagara Falls a stop of several
minutes has been made at Falls View where
an excellent view of the great cataract may
be obtained. Such has been the favor with
which the idea has been received by travel
ers that the company has decided to go still
further and erect fine crystal palace, y
from which the passengers can view the
Falls in all kinds of weather. The plans art
not yet fully matured, the company delaying

THE CHICAGO SOCIALISTS.
They Are Exceeding Fewin Number and Not
Considered in the Least Dangerous.

CHICAGO. Jan. ia mass meeting Of Social
ist was held this afternoon at West Twelfth
street Turner Hall. which was well filled A.
P. Parsons, August Spies, and others less known
in Socialist circles made speeches setting forth
the theories Of that class.
The Daily News will publish the result of an
investigation into the actual strength of the So
cialistie military companies of this city. The
first company, the Lehr and Weir Verein, had
about thirty men at its last drill the second
company had nine men and three boys at its
last drill with one gun for the lot; the third
company exists only in the socialistic imagina-
ton, and the same is true of the jaeger Verein
The Bohemian Sharp-shooters had less than
twenty at their last drill The News says that
altogether they could not muster more than 100
drilled and armed men, and intimates that the
scare is being fostered in the interests of an in
creased appropriation for the State militia. The
police authorities, it says. laugh at the sensa
tional reports published. and say they can
promptly suppress any outbreak Of which the
Socialists are capable.

A PLEA FOR THE PIANO.

on the Instrument.

on the Instrument.
New York Home Journal.
Quite apart from the excellent discipline of
attention and exercise for the fingers involved. L
say deliberately, let every girl who mas an for
music learn che piano.
If, at the age of twelve she finds it simply a
nuisance. or takes no delight in hearing
music, she can but leave it off and adopt some
n.ore congenial pursuit; but give every girl the
chance of such solace, such healthful emotional
outlet for her pent-up life.
How many tears it may save her, how many
honrs OF insane brooding, how much irritability
will 1t not soothe, how much dulness will it not
mt, how much perious idleness will it not pre-
vent!
No doubt the piano FOUNDER next door is a
terrible scoUrge. She made poor Carlyle mad
der with her desolating handiwork than did the
incessant Growing of the Chelsea cock
am convinced that, on the whole the multi
picatlon OF the cheap cottage piano has been an
inestimable blessing to our English homes It
has kept boys at home, employed girls brought
young people together happily and innocently,
cheered and amused old ones. h ttfetss8 7

upon him to ascertain the truthfulness of the
report Mr.. Ross said:
Yes, am going to give up my saloon, and
shall wrestle no more. have decided to enter

that purpose. I have tonight written letter to
the faculty of Trinity College, theological SEM
mary at Toronto, for admission. hope to OBJ

to advocate vigorous war on the disreputable
dens that infest the city, and the bad characters
they shelter and protect. There Is a field for
such work, and am confident that shall sue
