PASMOIE ALBUM OF SUMS.
Irving Hall was crowded on Friday night
to enjoy the original compositions of Mr..
Ii. T.. Pasmore. He had fair company OF
singers TO give them effect = Mr.. Alfred
Wilkie, Miss Anna Woods, Miss Ellen At

The fault of Mr.. Pasmore's work is that he

of the composers pu pills, opened the pro,
gramme and was followed by Mr. Alfred
Wilkie with Longfellow's serenade, STARS
OF a Summer Night, poetic in hbretto, TO
which Mr.. Pasmore has given consistent
musical idea. Wilkie made himself at home
with the audience in this sereDade, by
his delicate plrasiDg. and was recalled and
encored. He afterwaTd sang Sill Barred

with Miss Ellen Atkins. The new barytone,
Mr.. Harry L. Reeves, has a strong organ,
as shown in his rendering Of "A Bridal

not rich in quality. Miss Anna Woods seems
TO be a coming soprano She has flne

With blood in one eye and fire in the other,
says the American Musician OF November
1st, Don Diego de Vivo came down from
the Office on Wednesday afternoon. The
Don was in a condition OF suppressed eX-
element. He wanted to know why we had
said he was a musical corpse reyiyer," why
we had said that his last prima donna, AL

Ferranti one hundred years before the pub

we had written a kindly article about the
veteran buffo so as to giyeshim some help to
get pupils and not with any idea OF relntro-
ducing him to the public as a singer. But
the Don would not be appeased, and, as he

There have been SO many light entertain

is with more than usual pleasure we note the
appearance of Clara Morris at the Baldwin
next week When the perspective of time
shall have made possible accurate estimates
of those who are in and of the life of
to-day, there can be little doubt that Clara
Morris Will be accounted the greatest his
tronic genius among actresses that America
has ever produced. The era of stage
trickery, Worth costumes, mechanical eff
fectS and gorgeous scenic appliances have so
monopoliZed the stage that native histrionic
genius has been lost sight of. 1t is, there

the appearance of Clara Morris and beSpeak
for her a welcome BETTING the exalted
position she occupies il the theatrical world.

Price has secured the exclusive American
rights.

How to be q Hostess.
SOME SAGE sUGG EsTIONs WHICH MAY BE OR-
SERVED WITH ADVANTAGE.

SOME SAGE sUsa EsTIoNs WHICH MAY BE o.
SERVED WITH ADVANTAGE.
Mrs. Sherwood in the Ladies' Home Journal.
A hostess has SO very charming a posi-
ton, if she is amiable, one wonders she
should ever peril it by being unamiable.
She is, in her hour of hostess ship, perhaps
at the acme Of woman's ambition 1t is
her place to see that number of people are
we'll fed and happy. She is the person OF
all others to whom every gentle, sweet
emotion, every grateful feeling turns. A
Hostess ut pretty country house is very
much to be envied, and she can, without
much effort, make everybody happy. a
hostess 10 the city can become an enormous
social power, if she has tact and certain
intelii gence. She becomes the envied OF
women and the admired of men. That she
should ever use this power to make herself
dsagreeable ia most amazing. If We had
not seen it done, we could hardly believe it
possible.
A hostess should never reprove her ser
wants III the presence of her guests. All
that worries her must be carefully conceal
ed from them. 1t is her place to oil the
wheels of the domestic machinery so that
nothing shall jar. 1t Is quite impossible in
America that snch set OF trained servants
could be obtained who should make the
domestic wheels move without jarring. Bnt
the hostess must not appear to notice it. II
she is disturbed, or flustered, or miserable
who can enjoy anything?
This necessity for calmuess on the part
of a hostess is well satirzed in an od-fash
toned novel called ''Cecil,' where the hero
writes to his sister, Learn to be perfectly
unmoved at your own table. even if your
cook sends up stewed puppy" And an old
post eulogizes the calm hostess, who is
Mistress of herself, though China fall.,'
There is no such utter mistake as to lose
ones temper, ones nerve, ones composure,
in company. Society may be false condl
tion of things, but, whatever its faults, il
demands of woman the very high virtues
ofself command, gentleness and composure
politeness, GOODNESS and serenity. Coco
manners are said to be the shadows of vir
tues.
But they are virtues. To be polite is 9
virtue of the very highest order.

WHEN THE POLICE CAUGHT
HIM.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24-An arrest was made
shortly before II o'clock yesterday morning
in the Rev. DR.. Brank's Central Presbyte-
rian church during the Sunday school ser
vice. 1t created all the more hubbub for
the reason that the person arrested was an
active and jealous member of the congre
cation and the Treasurer of the Society of
Christian Endeavor of that aggregation.
The arrest was made by detectives, and
their prisoner was Mr.. Burke Brocehus, a
young man of education and prominence.
They walked into the church just as the
Sunday school classes we're about to be dis
missed, and found the young man they bad
been seeking deeply absorbed in the exer
cises. They stepped up to him quietly and.
tapping him on the shoulder, asked if he
was not Mr. Brocchus. He replied in the
affirmative and Immediately changed color,
realizing that something WAS wrong.
1--WE are police oficers," whispered Hsr
rington, sand you must accompany US to
the statiou.'
The prisoner became very nervous, and
looking at the officers appeaIingly, said: 81
don't understand you." He had been wrap
ping piece of paper around one of his
fingers, and just as he started out with the
Ulcers he threw the paper on the floor.
Broccbus stole diamond ring valued at
$500 and gold watch from a guest of a
fashionable boarding house. The ring was
found in the piece of paper he threw on the
-four. He confessed his crime.

A JOLLY WIZARD.

Oh, wizard dwelt in cave by the sea,
And dreamer of dreams was he.
The wild waves roared as they broke on the
shore,
Gave him mirth and jolity,
For he'd people the rocks and the sounding
deep
With fantasies weird as the products of sleep.
Oh, he dreamed Of maiden fair as star,
Who came DER the rolling sea
On the snowy crest of the pillows breast;
With airy head walked she
And her face was as white as the driven snow,
And her voice was like music sad and low.
Oh, she sang of love, and Of lovers pain,
And she sang of dream so sweet
That had urged her soul to desperate goal,
For the sake of wild heartbeat.
For the lover she loved in her fondest dream,
Was false as the glitter of brook and stream.
Oh, the wizard dwelt in the cave by the sea.
And dreamer of dreams was he.
Through phantasies sad and phantasies glad.
He kept his 1olity;
"For dream is q dream, and not life" quoth
he,
"But love which is life meier a dream can be.
