MUSIC AND DRAMA.
cHANDLER's BAND CONCERT.

CdANOLEh bAND CONCEhT.
Chandler's Band have always been noted
for their heavy playing on the street, con-
sequently some people think that should
they play for dancing it would be difficult to
understand the prompter but such is not the
case. They have as great command of the
piano as of the forte and by the use of
double-basses in connection with the tuba
the tone Of the brass will be softened so as to
produce the effect of large orchestra. Be
sure and attend their concert and ball this
evening and satisfy yourselves that such is
the fact. The following will be the pro-
gramme:
Overture, Ungarische Lustspiel,. ..Kela Bella
Band.
Friendship Polka, Solo for Trombone. :. :. Harris

Labor is degraded by the vast hoard of in
competent demoralized denizens of other
lands seeking these shores. The trite maxim
that America is the asylum for the Oppres-
sed Of all nations" has become prostituted
by making the land reformatory and aims
house for the paupers and criminals of Eu-
rope. Ii we have a contagious disease the
government guarantees us. Let the govern
ment quarantine all this class of persons
coming here. Our own workingmen are, as
q whole, industrious and energetic. But
there are many dr0nes. Let workingmen re-
member that knowledge is power In muscles,
as well as In brains and books. Lack Of
manual training is. one of the curses of the
nation. Let workingmen exhaust the power
OF arbitration and law before resorting to a
strike. A strike never aims at the cause of
declining wages and can never accomplish
permanent good. Purify and elevate the
family, recognize the right of each child
to an education. Mr.. Powderly says
capital is to give the laborer share in the
profits OF his employer. That plan is tried
by many firms and the great Bowdoin Paper
Company at Topsham say they are impressed
with its force and are giving It trial.
But there are two enemies of the working
men to whom vast number of them bow
down, sacrificing manhood, womanhood,
childhood. They court these enemies. They
destroy them more utterly with greater cru
city than all the employers in the world.
AHOJ, oio hquOA anu bOUhCcU. lu6S6 6u6Lul6S
rob them of money, bread, health, morals,
manhood and Heaven.
Again, statistics were given to show that
the laboring man In America was never SO
well on as today as to wages and the price of
living. This proves that the maxim "the poor
are growing poorer" is not true In this
n NJ e century strife let the fatherhood
OF dod and the brotherhood of man be recog-
nlzed 40 unto others as you would they
should ! 40 to yo9" The horse car driver,
of his car, goes to the hospital with yaricose
veins; the stoker, after eight years in the
fiery hold Of the steamer, goes to the con-
sumptives' home; the newspaper reoorter.
after lifetime of honest, faithful work goes
to the aims house. What oddsi there are
others to enter their places and all Hungary.
Germany, Italy to draw from. Do we owe
these men no more. HE that enters here
leaves love behind" The philosophy of
Jesus Christ. the principle of love, is the
only sure and permanent remedy for Ameri-
cas- labor troubles. Mr.. Gladstone says in
his judgment there, is no remedy but the
strong restraints of the Gospel an equal and
liberal respect for the rights of all men-the
Gospel principles of brotherly love.

all bristling with stubs of steel and COW
ering the hand where attack is rudest-
The wagon filed, if the field be large, is
driven to the crib for emptying, while
another takes its place, that the work
may go on without abating. Along the
margins of the many corn fields light
pens of rails are built, a dozen feet
square, often half dozen adjoining,
which serve to house the crop till it is
consumed by stock or until a price is
offered that can tempt the farmer.
But when that last wagOn-load goes
creaking from the field, forcing a prog
ress across the cracking stalks, when
the waiting and the toll of the year are
summed in the words, "The harvest is
won, a consciousness of hard work well
done brings somewhat of reward. The
spirits rise with the end in view. The
memories of the pleasant things come
back again. The dust, the wounds, the
bleeding fingers, are forgotten. The
girls sit down and pick the Spanish nee
dies from their skirts, dismiss the har-
vest past and talk of other haryests Of
the heart
But, maybe, the grass was short this
year, hay is scarce and corn fodder will
be in strong demand. If so, the rustic
force attacks the whitening crop, each
man folding a hill in his left arm, while
with his right, he smites the stalks near
the roots, severing them at blow with
steel blade made of broken scythe or
bought at the store in all the glory Of
red paint. Ten hills square, or a hun
dred, are gathered in the shocks, which
rest as a base against a central four,
whose heads are bent and bound together
like the ragged tent-poles OF a wigwam.
Later in the season this fodder is hauled
to the barn and husked, or shocks are
broken open in mild moonlight nights OF
late fall, and around each heap, ravag-
ing the stalks of their wealth of grain,
gather the youth OF the neighborhood to

The Way to Do IT.

The Marion County Ky.) Gazette
recently printed the following para
graph: owe promised our readers to
publish the names of all preachers who
should get drunk from that time for
ward Little did we think that in SO
short time we would have to give the
public the sad intelligence which is
now being rumored about the town,
and, so far as we can learn, not denied,
that Rev. was drunk last Tues
day. We should be pleased to set the
reverend gentleman right if he is false
" accused, and we are willing to do
all in our power to clear him of the
disgrace which has fallen upon him /;
but If these rumors are true the
Church of God ought not to be i'm
posed upon by him" The paragraph
indicates deplorable decadence of re-
ligion in the back districts of Ken
lucky; but it also indicates that public
sentiment is healthy enough to cure
the evil in time. While the preachers
are drinking too much whisky, and,
without doubt, quarreling over their
respective claims to divine authority,
the editor comes In with his lash and
begins the work of clearing out the
temple of those who profane it.

And each one joins in the march across
the yielding ground, dropping three
grains In the cross of the marker Men
come behind with hoes and cover the
corn with mellow earth, dexterously
tucking them into beds from which they
will rise enriched. A burial is going on

abundant assurance of return increased

had in corn planting timel Spring chick
ems had just risen to the dignity Of
'fries, " the garden contributed a Vege-
table Zest, and oceans of sweet, fresh
milk could be had for the asking. Back
to the work in the afternoon when the
glamor had worn off; persistent toll till
the field was won, and all hands marched
together from the farther corner, where
ali the scanty seed in the bottom OF the
baskets went to make "king hill" to
lead the rising grain.
Warmer suns shone on the little
mounds where the grains were hidden;
gentle dews and drenching rains softened
the bony shell which held the germ, and
broad fields spread away with bright
green lines tracing the promise of a
bounteous yield. A little later and the
shovel plow, the hoe, and even the hand
must loosen the dirt and nurse the roots
must destroy every life that could drain
the fertility that belonged to corn-and,
later still, when summer suns shone
hottest, the rank green stalks rose to a
mans height, hiding the ground and
spreading long, broad blades to gather
the good with which the air was charged.
Tassels shoot from the Verdant crown,
and soft, silky pouches push from the
side the crown of King Corn and the
scepter of his reign.
Improved machinery has lessened the
labors of the farm life since those early
days Instead of the basket of seed and
the single hoes then following the
marker a tailor-clad young man rides
with thumb and fingers. Later still than

the "bee" was over girls must be taken

fancy promised for him. Her grand
daughters know no husking bees, and
arts acquired in distant schools must
take the place of bright red ears of corn.

quence is, we often meet little girls Wftk
their hair most unbecomingiy dressed,
falling about their faces when it ought
to be put back, and put back when it
ought to be displayed in front.
In the fourth illustration these two
modes Of wearing the hair are very ar
tistically pictured, and pleated and plain
dresses are also set in pleasing contrast.
/ need hardly remark that no matter
how richly and becomingiy dressed a
little girl may be, unless she has an erect
and easy carriage, and lifts her feet and
sets them down with graceful move
ment and an air of conscious power to
locomote-if I may be pardoned hor-
rid word-Without any display of gauch-
erie or constraint, she will never be
taken for the daughter of noble parents
living incog. in this hemisphere until
their estates shall have been restored to
them.
And, speaking of the children of noble
lineage, here in the last illustration
you'll find a little Lady Fontiareine, a
most picturesque and sympathetic little
parsonage, wearing a black velvet doc
tors hat set coQuettishly upon her thick
tresses Of golden hair. She is dressed for

coming cloak with wide sleeves, corde-

fields of green-the giant toll stands well
intrenched. No machine can gather
corn. The same old methods Walter
Raleigh saw employed by Indians three
hundred years ago ara used to-day, and
seem to defy Improvement Cornstalks
will not all attain uniform height; ears
will not stand from the stem at the same
angle or al put forth from the same side,
and he who would gather corn must take
his hands and husk it. When the ground
is white with frosts of October mornings,
when velvet blades have turned to harsh
cimetars, when ears of corn once yield
ing to the touch are hard and rough as
metal rasps, the poetry all goes out Of
farm life, and hovers like q dream about
the pens Of men who never won a din

made and must be garnered- There is
no fiinching, no turning back from 1rk-
some labor. Toll has hardened hands
and Injured all to rough labor. The
wagon, made dOubly capacious by great
side-boards, is driven into the field at the
hither side; the team and the wheels
straddle one row, while on either side two
or three more are taken by the huskers.

Woman In once.

A woman behind an official desk Is
an awe-inspiring object to the most
courageous man in existence; she Is
her sex plus authority, Charlotte Cor
day and Minerva combined. She is
not the more imposing by reason of her
Office, but the Office is imposing because
she fills it, because the Office is her
self. Such q woman may insist on
anything unhindered of man. He is
even content, at her command, to con-
cede that the earth Is fiat for the time
being. He appears before so much
majesty in a commanding attitude; he
waits her pleasure patiently, not dar-
ing to murmur at delay. For these
reasons the official woman does not go
out of her way to annoy or to torture
man; she accepts him as q worm, and
because he is weak she refrains from
treading on him, and goes no further
than to gorgonize him with her Tenny-
sonian STONY stare" It is for mem
bers of her own sex that she
reserves her more aggressive weapons,
man, the worm, observes, and after
awhile he retaliates by saying that a
woman in Office cannot escape. from
herself. She refuses to see, or cannot
see, any difference between a free, if
tax-paying, public and her own family
circle. She carries her home charac-
teristics into public affairs, regarding
men as the possessors of obnoxious
latch keys, and women as the victims
of them. Her clients are punished for
her toothache and responsible for heI
dyspepsia. That she is compelled to
hold lowly office is the fault of the
world, and the world must suffer fol-
it. She knows that she is better than
other women, and demonstrates hel
superiority to anticipate their doubt,
or the doubt that she has invented fol
them. In all probability these faults
light ones, after all, when compared
with some of the offenses of the male
oficial-will be remedied; but until
they are, women in Office will be thorn
in the flesh of women out of Office.

There are martyrs and martyrs. Some
were wise in the Hottest. some are silly in the
most improvident sense. The word impro-
vident exactly applies to the latter class,
since they neglect to provide against threat
ened danger. We commiserate, but we can
not respect them. Among the silliest are
martyrs to rheumatism, who might have pre-
vented daily and nightly recurring torture by
the early use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
blood depurent more efficient in removing
the virus of this complaint from the circula-
ton than any thus far brought to the notice
of the general community and the medical
profession. 1t promotes greater activity of
the kidneys, the channel through which
blood impurities, productive of rheumatism,
govt and dropsy, are principally expelled,
and it imparts degree of vigor to digestion
and assimilation which has most faVora-
BILE bearing on the general health. 1t also
remedies biliOusness, kidney troubles, and
malaria.

cover how charmingly becoming stu
dents cap is at times to little heads
wreathed in thick tresses, no matter
whether Ginning with the gold of autumn
leaves or black as the velvet pansies Of
early spring.
Pleated skirts, capes, bodices, chemi-
settles, ETC., are all extremely becoming
for children, more especially for those
spritelike figures which fit about us
with such graceful velocity that we in
voluntarily glance at their shoulders in
search Of wings.
~Can't you sit still for single moment,
Flossie, darling?"
AZ can, but I don't want to-" was the
quick answer.
In the picturesque representation OF
this unWillingness to come to a stand
still, as set forth in the third illustration,
there will be noticed number of pleated
effects, all very graceful and pretty.
The felt and velvet hats, too, are de-
serving of attention, particularly the
beef-eater. One is coquettishly tied un-
der the chin, and two have fiaring brims.
Children's hats should never be over
loaded with trimming. Don't smother a
rosebud under a handful of feathers nor
weight lily with a cabbage of velvet.
All feather effects should be light and
airy, oftentimes only two quill feathers
being used to set off Tam o. Shanter,
Scotch cap or Tyrolean felt.
In some OF the modish cloth costumes
for children the cape is made of the same
material, accordion pleated and set on a
square velvet yoke, back and front. The
dres0 itself is cloSe-ftting and worn with
velvet waist belt, and the back of the
skirt is double-box pleated. A very pretty
effect is attained by making use of a nut
meg-brown cloth with chOcolate-brOwn
velvet. The skirt and cuffs have a
stylish finish given them by two rows Of
