Free Dinners for sch


 Free dinners, which the Vienna school children have been so fortunate to have provided for them during the winter, were stopped at the end of last month, much to the regret of the little ones. Our correspondent says that they will begin again in November. Four hum dred thousand portions were served in thirty-three days to 5000 children. Many of the school-children brought their little brothers and sisters to share the dinner with them, and the portions of such children were always extra large. A great number of children from the streets also applied for food and were never refused. The school masters and mistresses testify that the children's health in the winter has been very much better since the introduction of the free dinners. A good moral effect has also been produced upon the children, who feel themselves cared for and the objects of attention. The Swiss Government has asked for details of the manage ment as it is intended to establish school-kitchens in Switzerland on the model of those in Vienna. Daily News.

FEMALE COMPOSERS.

Women Who Have Crea ted Plea sing Tunes and Sterling Operas.
 The reproach that women, while pro- | fessing to be fond of music, have never
 been numbered among the creators of
 the art is now being happily falsified.
 Of women song-writers long list might | be quickly compiled. A moments re- | fection will suggest the names of Maud Valerie White, Lady Hill, Hope Tenn l pie, Mary Carmichael, Louisa Gray" Edith Cook, Mrs. Goodeve, Miss Wake | field, Mary Ostiere, the late Miss Eliza
 beth Philip, and many more. But with in the last few years women have scared | to higher flights. From Paris come | continually tidings of new triumphs | achieved by women. This new heroine of the hour is Mile. Augusta Holmes She is a naturalized Frenchwoman, but of Irish extraction. Her father, Colonel Dalkeith Holmes, when he retired from service in the English army, went to | live at Versailles, and the daughter is | how loyal citizen of the Republic of France, where she has found home. Ireland. however, still retains a strong
 hold on her affections, and Mile. Holmes | delights in Irish melody and poetry. | Although she certainly does not belong | to the German school of composers, she
 follows Wagnerian principles in one re-
 spect, for she weds the music to her ! own libretto, a system which imparts | the unity of effect for which Ter works are remarka ble.
 Gounod has expressed highly favor | able opinion of her works, and predicts
 distinguished career for her. Mile. | Holmes music has already found a
 place iE the programmes of the Colonne | and Lamoureux concerts, and the per- formance of the "Ludus pro Patria" at
 the Conservatoire last year was a fiatter- ing acknowledgment of her genius.
 She has also written many charming
 songs, of which the most popular, per- haps, are "Le Conte de Noel' and La Serenade Printaniere," and to her na- | tive land the fine composition,
 'Irlande," is dedicated. She is now
 engaged upon an opera, and report says
 that the red ribbon of the Legion of
 Honor will shortly be conferred upon
 her by the French Government at
 whose hands she certainly we'll de-
 served this mark of recognition.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

Thomas Shaw, the music man, still keeps
the pianos and organs rolling. He sold
Judge Bodkin a 5000 Decker, also fine
Chase Bros. to F. j. Ahlrich, of Newton; a
fine Decker to Kinney, of Hutchinson: an
other Chase Bros. TO Thornburg, OF Har-
per: another to Miss Guyer, of Arkansas
City, besides a good many in Wichita, and
organs too numerous to mention. He has
two floors clear back to the alley full of
the finest assortment YOU ever saw, from
the cheapest to the finest: anyone can be
suited in style, quality or price. 1t is an
advantage to the people of this part of the
state TO have so fine and large a stock to
select from On all goods he handles you
can deal the same as if you were in the
factory. He never misses a sale if quality
and price is any object. Go and see for

CHAPTER VIII,


Mckee proved to be man of unusual
intelligence. Acting under his advice
and guidance, succeeded in surround
ing and surprising the Partisan Rang,
ers. We swept into their camp without
encountering any pickets, and the men,
many of them old friends and acquaint.
ances, surrendered without firing a
shot.
Among the prisoners was a sergeant
named Burns, from Lexington; indeed,
he was in command, and him / ques-
toned at once as to the whereabouts of
Frank Brent at the time John Harding
was murdered. Burns corroborated the
condemned mans story, and this before
told him of my reasons for making the
inquiry.
l noticed that Mckee did not ad-
vance with US on the Confederate camp,
but paid no heed to it at the time.
While was talking to Burns, heard
