FARwELL has something choice in
store" for all classes and conditions of
mankind who reside at or visit the capital,
and the store referred to-No 10, Main
street, Opera-house block-gives him the
best sort of an opportunity to prove it by
affording abundant room for display. He
moved last Friday and we all hope it will
turn out to have been a good move. The
location and convenienCes of the new quar-
ters, the quality of the stock, the arc lamps,
the beamiDg smiles of First Clerk Baker
| and the obliging disposition of Second Clerk
Batchelder ought to prove a combination
sufficiently strong to retain all the old
patrons and attract many new ones.
A RECENT issue of the st. Paul (Mnn.)
Press in an item containing a brief allusion
to the peculiar characteristics of Hebrew
iuuSlC, says lnlS Vi one WHO Is Wtll-huONu
in "these parts" In the service of Mt.
Zion congregation of this city the music is
under the direction of Professor w. A.
Wheaton, one of the best-known organists
of the city. Professor Wheaton has lately
! composed new service for the use of his
choir He has admirably retained the
| spirit as well as the strength of the Hebrew
style, and has formed some very meodious
numbers, rich in harmony, spirited in
action and pleasing in effect The pres
ence in st. Paul of such musicians, able to
compose dignifed and striking selections
| for the service of the church, is an indica-
ton of gratifying growth in musical
| culture"
THE funeral services ofthe late Mr.. Dennis
Lane, notice of whose death appears in the
proper column, were postponed until Mon
day of this week to permit the arrival from
Florida of his daughter, Mrs o. G. Barron.
They were held at his late residence on
Monday afternoon under Masonic auspices
and the attendance was so large that many
were unable to gain entrance to the house
| Here the exercises were conducted by Rev
Mr.. Wright and the music was furnished by
the choir of the Church of the Messiah
| The floral display on the occasion is be-
leved to have surpassed any ever seen in
| Montpelier and included many rare and
| beautiful specimens wrought into designs
appropriate and of almost mammoth pro-
portions. The employees of the Lane Manu-
featuring Company were in attendance as
an organized body and between two long
lines composed of these men the procession
passed as it left the house at the close of the
exercises. Drawn curtains upon the prin-
cipal streets and an entire suspension of
business testified to a recognition of the loss
sustained by the community and gave eX-
preston to the sympathy felt by all for the
bereaved family. The remains We're at
tended by the relatives and members of
Masonic bodies to Green Mount cemetery,
where they were laid to rest with the beau
tiful and impressive Masonic burial service.
