A Large Audience Listens to an Excei'
lent Rendition of Good Music.

lent Rendition of Good Music.
During its many years of existence, the
Maenner Gesang Verein Arion, of jersey
City Heights, never presented a granuer
concert thar that given by the society last
night, to a large, fashionable and critical
audience that occupied the spacious WIN
ter garden of Kessler's Hall. 1t was a
musical presentation tina challcnReu
criticism, and those who llstenetl 10 II
really revealed in a feast OF song ana
music.
Prof. Carl Rehm, for many years the
well known bandmaster of at West Point
sklllfully directed the grand orchestra OF
twenty instruments, and the other talent
assisting the Arion Society were Mrs.
| Lena Luckstone-Myers, q finished mezzo-
soprano with a. remarkably fine quality;
Mi. Clinton Elder, an exquisite tenor;
Herr Emil Graman, violinisu and accom-
PIANIST and a chorus of the Brooklyn
Saenger Bund.
The opening overture by the orchestra
was an evidence of the complete musical
treat to be presented, and at its conclu-
sion. the applause of the audience was q
| spontaneous tribnte to it's excellence.
When the Arions, fifty strong, came
upon the platform with their director,
| William Groescher, they were CREATED
with hearty applause, but when the
chorus 'sWaldmorgeu," rendered with
out accompaniment, was concluded, the
! applause amounted to al ovation. g
Mrs Luckstone Meyers, and Mr.. Clln-
ton Elder. were deservedIy encored for
! each of their vocal renditions, and the
exquisite violin presentations. by Herr
Emil Gramm, were as enthusiastically
received. In the second part, the Arions
rendered the choruses CUTE NachtH Il
and ''Wenn der Vogel Naschenwill," and
~ ~ nnnnallo6 I'm rpnnQft the latter.
The concluding selection, Zoellner's
'sDas Fest der Rebenbluethe," by the
Arions and Brooklyn Saergerbund, ac-
companied by the ochestra, was a fitting
finish to one of the best concerts ever
given in Hudson county.

More Convicts Pardoned.

The Court of Pardons yesterday granted
pardous to the following convicts:-
Walker Hay, sentenced in May, 1889,

some prisoners who attempted to break
Jail in Cumberland county while con-
lined there.
Gamalia d. Sleeper, sentenced in
October, 1883, from Essex county for ten
years. The severity of the sentence was
the cause of this action by the court.

SENT TO THE PEN.
A Fortunate Druggist.

Mr.. Edwin W. Joy prosperous druggist
on the corner of Stockton and Market
streets, in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed OF rivaling in wealth the medi-
cine kings of the country. But various
rumors having been floating around to the
effect that he has struck it big, an Examiner,
reporter was detailed to unearth the cause
1t seems that about seven years ago an
English physician, great studento of Bot
any, located in this city. His practice
was not extensive, and yet the few cases
that came to him attracted no little atten-
tiOn. His great success seemed to be in the
treatment of liver and kidney disorders
and vitiated blood. He seemed almost
infallible, and his well-kept secret was as
much mystery as himself ,After his de-
parture Mr.. Joy determined to fathom the
secret, and copying all the prescriptions
he had filed for the cratic doctor, he
began a systematic analysis. He discov-
cred running all through the prescript-
ions for liver and kidney troubles, vitiated
blood and stomach disorders a couple OF
vegetable extracts indigenous to California
so simple and so well known under home
ly every day names to every school boy as
to entirely, dissipate the suspicion that
they were the active principles involved.
So certain, however, was Mr.. Joy that he
had discovered the secret that he embod-
led the new clements IN preparation of
Sarsaparilla to disguise the taste, and put
it before his customers under the modest
name of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. In
mediately the same stories came back OF
its astonishing effects, and the mystery was
solved, and the talk it has created has
already caused it to step into prominence,
and orders pour in daily from all over tho
coast. And thus another California indus
try leaps into existence.-S r. Examiner.

HIGH SCHOOLS AND LOW SCHOOLS.

A high school is proposed. The
idea is a good one. Astoria ought to
have a good many things it hasn't got,
and a high school is one of them. 1t
needs things worse than high
school, though. For instance it needs
school where a boy and girl after
attending and going through, can
read clearly and intelligently, speak
correct English, write a plain hand,
be good at figures up to the ordinary
demands of every day life, These are
requisites, and when what is here
briefly outlined can be had, it will be
time enough to talk high" school.
A high school is nice thing, but
the demands of the day are for more
homely needs. -.
Do the school children In district
No. One, for. instance, get what the
tax payers of that district are paying
for?

IMPORTANT TO PHYSICIANS.

There was law passed by the late
lamented legislature that by April 28th,
1889, every practicing physician in
the state should register his name
with the county clerk of the county
in which he resided. So far no copy
of the law has been received here, nor
has any register book arrived. Coun-
ty clerk Trenchard has filed the ap-
plications for registry OF the different
physicians who have applied.
This is of more Importance to ply
sicians than anybody else, for if they
don't register by Saturday, next, they
must pass an examination before the
state medical board of examination.
