The Sopranos New Blue Dress.

In a certain prominent church choir not
lar from Boston the soprano was woman Of
dashins and stylish appearance whose toilets
were -lmost as much matter of considera>
ton with her as her voice, and with whom
the preparation of q new dress sometimes
caused the preparation of an aria to suffer
sadly. The contralto on the contrary, was
person who gave not much thought to her
dress, but who had, OF course, to be sufficiently
scrupulous about it to keep up fair ap-
pearance in the conspicuous place, within
the chancel, where the choir was stationed
She finally made up her Eiind TO get q new
silk gown, and chose lavender for the color
She confided her plans to the soprano, as u
connoisseur, and the soprano gave her much
advice about the dress in patronizing
way. The getting up of the ccntralto's
new lavender gown was q rather slow
matter, and the soprano kept herself
posted as to its progress. When would
it be ready to wear! The contralto said it
couldn't be ready before two weeks from the
next Sunday. And it wasn't, but the very
next Sunday tie soprano came out in a new
and beautiful blue silk, which she announced
her intention to wear right along, and which
the contralto saw, to her CONSERVATION, would
utterly destroy her Lavender and make it I'M
possible to wear it. So, with some natural
tears, the contralto put away her new gown
until such time as the soprano should tire
of wearing her blue; and the next Sunday
the soprano, coming in blue again, and see
ing the contralto still in sober black, asked
with sweet, ingenious surprise:
Why, where is your new gown
Il decided not to wear it," said the con-
tralto, sadly, with glance at the blue silk
Weeks after that the ladies in the congre-
cation were exclaiming: What long time
Mrs. Seesharp is wearing that bluei l never
knew her to wear one dress SO long before"

Teaching Elocution by Phonograph.

An automatic teacher of elocution is being
suddenly employed by number of actors
and actresses It is the photograph. The
example was set by Clara Morris. She OBJ
tanned photograph month ago, and used
it to ascertain exactly how her speech
sounded. Che had become convinced that no
speaker hears the tones Of his own voice ex-
actly as others do, and it occurred to her
that if she spoke into phonograph she could
get correct idea of her vocal expressions
She found that the plan worked well She
would recite portions of her roles, and then
have it repeated again and again by the ma
chine Although the mechanical voice lacked
in volume, its mimicry of emphasis, infec-
ton and other qualities was precise The
news Of Miss Morris experiment got out, and
now there can be counted up dozen players
who, in studying their parts in plays to be
produced next season, are using monographs.

VETOED PENSIONS.
The House Committee Advocates the Pas
sage Of Pension Over the Veto.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA majority of a
quorum of the house committee on invalid
pensions today decided to recommend to
the house that the bill granting a pension
to Teresa Herbst, widow of John Hell bst,
Late private in company G.. Fourteenth
regiment New York volunteers. be passed
over the presidents veto. The deceased
died in 1868 of heart disease He was a
soldier in the union army until he was
captured by the enemy on the 10Th of Au
gust, 1864, when he joined the confederate
forces. Later he was captured by General
SLOVENIAN while in arms against the
United States government. He explained
that he deserted to the enemy to escape
the hardships and starvation OF prison
life He was released and mustered out of
the service in October, 1866. The presi-
dent in vetoing the bill held that the disa-
billties Of which the deceased suffered at
the time of discharge were quite likely the
result of exposure in the confederate army,
and he declined To take any part in putting
a name on the pension rolls which repre-
sents union soldier fighting against the
cause he Swore he would uphold.
The president today denied the applica
tion for pardon in the case of John n
Reynolds, convicted in Kansas for using
the mails for fraudulent purposes. The
president endorsed the papers as follows:
Denied. | ara moved with pity for the SIX
motherless children of this convict, but
the interest Of justice and regard TOR the
public order and decency initiate so
strongly in my opinion against the exer-
else of ciemency that feel it my duty 10

and are disgraced with this unworthy
criminal.

We trere married in The presence Of all
Tho fotysst

man. woman and child, while tho bells
rang out. and our joyful hearts were
warm. despite the cold without. Twas so
poor in worldly goods that must have
gone to the sacred ceremony with nothing
better thar my plain stuff frock but. for
the benevolence of good Mrs Carnaby,
who lent me a most beautiful brocaded
silk gown, which. with al kinds of for
eign gauds, such as necklaces, bracelets
and jewels for the hair, which my lover
nay, my bridegroom bestowed upon me,
made me so fine that his worship was so
good as to say that never a more beautiful
bride had been married, OF would here
after be married, in Warlworth church.
Thus do fine feathers mako fine birds.
When the next bride Is married in bro
caded silk, with hoop. her hair done by
the barber and her homely person decor
ated with jewels, people will be found to
say the same thing. Yet, since my hus-
band who is the only person | must con-

beautiful, should | not rejoice and be
thankful for this strange power Of ones
outward figre-women cannot under
stand (which bewitches men and robs
them of their natural sense until they be-
come used to 1t.
After the wedding we went home to the
mill, where my husband spread great
feast. In the evening came the mummers
with Sailor Nan, who drank freely OF
punch. and wished rs Joy in language
more nautical than polite. Ills worship
slept at the mill because he was overcome
with the abundance and strength Of the
punch. Even the fugleman, for the first
time in mans memory, had to be carried
to bed, preserving his stiffness Of back
even In the sleep of intoxication. And
the next day we had another royal feast,
to which all were invited who had known
my dear husband in his youth But to
me it was a continual feast to be in the
presence Of my dear, to have my hand in
his and to rejoice in the warmth of his
steadfast eyes.
We are all. hope, Christian folk,
wherefore no one will be surprised to hear
that on the morning Of the day after tho
marriage, which was Christmas day, after
the singing of the hymn, when tho
Shepherds Watch their FloclSs by Night"
my husband, giving me his hand, led
me forth before all the people, and
in their presence thanked God solemnly
for his safe return, and for other
blessings Il knew full well what these
meant) Then the fugleman leading, his
pike held at salute, he recited tho Lords
prayer Thus In seemly and solemn
fashion was the long sorrow Of nine years
turned into a Joy which will endure, l
doubt not, beyond this earthly pilgrimage.
