Service of Song.

Notwithstanding the storm Sunday even
ing, Williston church was well filled by al
audience who appeared to enjoy the pro
gramme arranged by the pastor and the
organist, Mr.. W. c. Kimball Although the
exercises throughout were very interesting
perhaps the most enjoyable were the organ
prelude, Pilgrims Song of Hope; bass
solo, Beyond the Smiling and the Weep
ing" by Fl. F. Merrill, and the soprano solo,
80 Holy Night" by Miss Nellie Webster,
whose pure soprano voice was perhaps never
heard to better advantage than on this oc-
casion. 1t is sometimes urged that congre-
gational singing is expressionless, but we
doubtful a trained chorus would have sung
the hymns assigned to the congregation any
better, so completely under the control of
the organist's touch were the organ, choir
and congregation.

The Beauties of Democratic Reform
as Practiccd in Pcnitentiary.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. "a. Especial Tele-
gram to the BEE. Further investigation Of
the penitcntiary under the llOadly admins
tratiOn reveals darker deeds than has yet been
exposed. One employe is said to have pro-
cured the release of a female prisoner on pa
role that he might install her as his mistress
III town. Another official will be surely con-
vcted of forgery and another will be sent to
the pcnitentiary for selling goods made in
the prison at reduced prices and failing to
account for the receipts. Ex-Governor
Hoadly's brother-in-law, Samuel Perry, is
implicated in many of the transactions. Par
ties in charge of the investigation claim that
nearly every official of the HOadly regime
will be indicted by the grand jury, now hear
ing the testimony OF the convictS Several
of the accused parties have left town, but have
been tracked to hiding places by detectives
and will be brought back when necessary. 1t
is proved conclusively that the election
tally sheet forgery was committed in
the person by JnO. Francis, Dayton con-
vict in for mansaughter He confessed the
crime and furnished the names of prominent
democratic politicians who instigated the
| crime. Francis also states that he was prom
| ised release for his work and was to leave
| the prison in hack and 90 to Windsor.
| Canada, he would be counted an escaped
| convict, but would never be hunted. The
| plan failed as the coDSniratOrS were afraid

| so he squeals. The disclosures are exciting

AN ANARCHISTS APPEAL.
Herr Most's Paper Must BE Supported
or Die.

New YORK, Sept "a. Special Telegram
to the BEE. When Anarchist Most wrote
the incendiaTy articles for the Freiheit, the
newspaper paid well and Most lived in high
style. But during his present enforced So
journ IN the penitentiary the articles written
by John Miller have been so tame that the
circulation has fallen from 5000 to barely 300
copies. The office was beseged yesterday
with creditors. Miller went to the peniten-
tiary and had a serious talk with Most.
Miller returned to his office, sat pondering
over his desk, and wrote column editorial
under the heading: "Shall the Freiheit Be
Supported?" The article urged that an
archists should not give capitalists a chance
TO boast that the publication of the paper
was suspended for lack OF support, but by
smoking one cigar less or drinking glass OF
beer less save the five cent piece necessary
for the purchase of the paper. The article
closes with the threat that unless the circula-
tion speedily increases the paper will be sus-
pended and the anarchists abandoned to
their fate,
