At the Taylor colored school the Trus-
tees have employed Miss Rachel Reeves.
We called on her recently and found her
in new house on piece of ground
bought and paid for by her patrons.
This house IL quite an improvement on
the old one, but still lacks seating and
writing facilities, without which no
teacher can do good work. This teacher
holds diploma, and ws think can do
some good work, but needs to be careful
about putting in time.

the shadows of lost opportunity. We
have wasted many blessed privileges,
and come short of the highest possibili-
ties in many ways. But the new year
means that we are to have another
chance. Blessed be God for it!
Third-We mark the gloomy outlines
of affiictiOn. Some have suffered in
mind, some in body, some in estate; but
nearly all have suffered. Life is hkened
to a rainbow; there must needs be
showers as well as sunshine to make it.
But let us believe i'm God and be faith

Fourth-There are specters of sin
stalking through the gloom, and unless
these ghosts are laid they will follow us
to eternity and haunt us there. Let us
not pass over into another year until we
have somehow cancelled the record of

"BehOid | come quckly!' The sound
of the curfew bell falls upon our ears.
We shall soon be asleep; lights out and

The toll of the curfew is hushed in the
morning chimes of heaven! Awake,
awake to nobler life, to grander service,
to joys eternal! So shall we be forever

STANLEY CAME YESTERDAY,
But His Stomach Wouldn't Stand
an Interview.

Fl. Nj. Stanley, Mrs. H. NJ. Stanley,
Maj. j. B. Pond and attendants arrived
in Minneapolis yesterday morning and
quartered at the West. A GLOBE re-
porter called at the West in the after
noon to see Mr.. Stanley, but it was
given out that he was too i'll to receive
any one. Mr.. Stanley has marched
under African sans so much and has
suffered such privations in the
way of lack OF nutritious food,
OF, indeed, any food at all,
and exposure, that his digestive system
is a thing of the past. TO that was due
his indisposition of yesterday. Satur-
day night he was attacked by gastric
pains. which were so severe and of such
long duration that he was not himself
until last evening So much trOnble has
he in this regard that for days he is un-
able to eat full meal. Stanley will be
able to lecture tonight.
Maj. Pond was about the lobby of the
Westlast night, ,peering through his gold
bowed spectacles and ready to talk to
any one about his star. The we'll known
manager of famous lecturers, tall, raw
bOned, black-bearded and unobtruslve
in dress, looks more like a North Min

man than like successful caterer to the

Minneapolis was. He used to set type

THE DAM CONCERT.

Delightful Entertainment.
The fourth grand concert by the Danz

sisted upon the repititiOn of each Sc
lection. The programme also embraced
examples of Kritchmar, Weber, Mem

to attend one of the entertainments of
MIR. DanZ' orchestra to realize the hold
it has on the cultured music-lOving pub
lie of Minneapolis. 1t is unquestion-
ably an accomplished organization, and
its performances beyond the grasp of
the average newspaper chronicler of
local events.
10 the educated and trained musi-
clan, and Snch person only should be
bold enough to criticise the work of
musicians, the playing of the Danz Or
cheStra is doubtless source of the keen
est delight, revealing the intrlcacies of
composition and its possibilities, melo-
dious and precise execution; in a word,
the perfection of art. To the layman
who judges and forms his estimate of
the expression of music solely through
the impression it makes upon his feel
iDgs the DanZ concerts are thrilling and
satisfying, appealing to his susceptible
tiles and educating his emotions.
1t is said that connected with Mr..
DanZ's orchestra are several accom-
plished SoloiStS. If at each concert one
or more of them were assigned places
on the programme such action on the

DR.. Burrell's Thoughts Upon the
Close of 1890.
At Westminster church. last evening,
DR.. ID. J. Burrell spoke as follows:
Abide with US, for it is towards
evening, and the day is far SPENT
Luke XIV, 20.
The close of the day is its most i'm
pressive hour; it calls us to consider
the things which are unseen and eter-
nal. The heat and burden of toll are
over; the uproar has ceased; birds
have hushed their singing; the sun goes
slowly into the west; shadows gather
about US.
Morn is the time to act,
Noon to endure:
But OH If thou would st keep thy spirit pure
Go forth at eventide to walk with God.''
We have come to the evening of the
year. 1t may not be Improbable to
look back through it's shadows and
gather lessons for the coming days.
First-As we look through the gloam-
ing we see dim faces; vanishing faces
of those who in the past twelvemonth
have gone away into the eternal world.
Some of them are faces familiar to the
world-the king of Holland, John Jacob
Astor, Gen. Fremont, Count Andrassy,
Cardinal Newman-but the faces that
we gaze upon most tenderly as they
vanish in the gloom are OF those who
were beloved in our homes. We shall
see them again in the blessed day of
restitution, the day of knitting severed
friendships up" the day whereof our
Master spoke when he said: "In my
Fathers house are many mansions; if it
were not so l would have told you: i go
to prepare place for yOu.'"
Home, home, sweet sweet homel
There's no place like home.

Mrs. Bertha Krebs, Of Newark, the

wounded. He died five years ago in

he had small pension the widow ap-

children and was destitute. sit SEEMS"
said Mrs. Krebs yesterday, "that there
was nothing done but to write letters
and get papers signed. The pension
never came"
She had given up hope, when her lit

day, unknown to her, wrote a letter to
President Harrison. She told the pres
ident who her father was, when and
where he died. and Of the unsuccessful
efforts of her mother to get his pension
continued. The child also wrote that
she had three brothers and sisters; that
her mamma frequently cried, and that
she did not know how her mother could
support the family this winter.
THAT was one Tuesday in Novem-

"The next Thursday the postman called
at the house and said: "A letter for

that ended in incoherence. The gentle

with all the obsequious whine gone

drew some coin from side pocket, gave
it to the man, and passed ON.
