A "Pianoist" Who Bid Not Use Scores.

A "Pianoist" Who Bid Not Use Scores.
1t is we'll known that American actors
are exceedingly fond Of New York, while
they like other places in varying degrees,
down to the Zone night stands" which
they do not like at all. The reasons are
obvious, but a new illustration may be
found in an incident of Miss Rose Cogh-
lan's our Of some Of the small towns Of
Pennsylvania. In Peg WOtingtOn" Miss
COghlan introduces minuet, and she has
an orchestral score specially prepared for
it. 1t is the custom when the company
is travelling to send this ahead, so that
the orchestra Of the theater can rehearse
it. In u certain II night stand the ad-
n agent approached the manager on
this subject and asked if the orchestra
could be called together.
"Well, the fact is" replied the man.
ager, eve haven't got an orchestra"
mo o~rchestra!'
No, only a 'pianoist.'"
What was more, the manager did not
think that an orchestra could be had in
the town. The advance agent telegraphed
back to the town where the company was
for instructions. After much cOnsulta-
ton it was decided that q piano score
must be made from the already existing
orchestra score. The leader Of the Or
chestra Of the theater agreed to try his
best to make this new score. It was a
large labor for him, rs he was not used
to such work, and he staid at the the
alter for two hours after the performance
to do it. Then it was seat forward in
triumph to the "pianoist," and the crown
ing calamity was d1scovered-the "piano-
ist' was blind.
In the end a violinist was found who
made some attempt at playing the music,
and the advance agent began a more
thorough system Of investigation into
the Of the theater visited.-

this maxim, till he lost all his friends

assist in conducting revival services
AS result of the meetings over three
hundred persons professed CONVERSION
most of whom joined Central Church
on probation, while nearly every
church received additions to their
membership. The new Wesley Me-

be claimed as the outgrowth of that
revival. Sunday, the period of pro-
baton having expired with many,

Der another lot will be received. Be-
sides the reception of members, fifteen

1t Improves the Roads.

The Importance of having road beds
kept dry and not shaded is we'll shown
now on some of our streets which are
badly cut up in spots where they are
shaded, while right along side of the
shaded spot the bed is dry and hard.
Where the shade is continuously op,
the road bed doesn't dry out as it
should and cutting up by the wheels
and horses feet is inevitable. 1t is
we'll that Council has ordered many
of the trees cut down about the city.

Thursday night Lewis T. Williams,
the wall paper dealer, and Miss Mamie
Borden .Whipple, eldest daughter of
George H. Whipple were married at
the home of the brides parents on
West Commerce street.
The handsome home of Mr.. Whipple
was brilliantly Illuminated for the oc
casion, and most exquisite floral deco
rations made beautiful scene. Stately
palms and wide spreading ferns, gave
a tropical appearance. There were
fully one hundred and fifty guests
present when the ceremony took
place. all the ladies were exquisitely
attired, and many of the gentleman
appeared in full evening dress.
Precisely at half.past eight the faint
strains of beautiful wedding march
sounded through the spacious rooms,
and little petite Misses Ada Whipple,
sister of the bride, and Helen Janvier,
each carrying punches Of golden rod,
marched down stairs. They were fol-
lowed by the ushers, Samuel Storey ,of
Boston, and William Dare. Directly
preceding the bridal couple was Miss
Elizabeth Dare, Maid of Honor. Miss
Whipp'e, leaning upon the arm of Mr.
Williams followed, and the couple
took their place before Rev. W. j.
Bridges, of the West Presbyterian

beautiful ring ceremony was used and
the couple were pronounced man and
wife.
After the words, we're spoken, Mr..
and Mrs. Williams were heartily con
graduated by the many guests, and
after social pleasures, the bridal party
were ushered to the dining room.
Caterer Corey had prepared a most
sumptuous collation., and the bridal
party were served by accomplished
walters.
The presents received by the couple
were very numerous and magnificent
in their beauty and worth. They
were shown in one of the large cham
bers on the second floor and were uni
versally admired. Late in the evening
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams were whirled
away in cab, amid shower of rice,
to their newly furnished home on At
lantic street, where they will begin
housekeeping.
This morning the happy couple
planned little surprise for their
friends by slipping off on the morning
train for quiet little honeymoon trip,
the route and destination known only
to Themselves. Their "At Home"
cards will be sent out upon their return

CITY COUNCIL.
Special Meeting Saturday Night
.--MOre Grade Ordinances.


The City Council held a short ses-
sion on Saturday night to consider the
report of the Committee on the North
Laurel street grade. One of the Coun-
cilmen hoped it was for the last time
that consultation would have to be
held by Council over Rynick's Park.
There were present President Han
cock, Councilmen Rogers, Mcpherson,
Leary, Laning, Minch, Woodruff,
johnson, Conner and Mathews.
The report of the committee was
presented by Councilman Minct, who
stated that it was proposed to lower
the height of the grade stake at Gull
vert at Laurel and Washington street,
seven inches, and the other stakes cor
respondingly to make a continuous
grade to the "knuckle" in front of
Gibson's property substantially as the
committee had originally intended.
The Surveyors figures of levels were
included in the report.
The proprietor of the Park, Mr.. Ry-
nick, volunteered the information to
Council that it would be better to dis.
pense with the "knuckle' at Gibson's,
but Council evidently thought time
would show, and so adopted the re-
port as submitted and the ordinance
committee was instructed to prepare
an ordinance embodying these changes
and also other changes in grades,
which have been adopted.
MIR. Mcpherson reported that the
test of the road scraper had been
made as directed by Council, with tie
agent, Mr.. c. W. West, and that it
was found to be very satisfactory.
The report was received but no action
taken.
It wes reported that the committee
did not meet on Grove and Henry
streets corner to decide the dispute
between the City Surveyor and Coun-
Gilman Mathews, as Mr.. Mathews had
informed the committee that the mat
ter had been settled
Mr.. Mathews however, seemed to
''go back" on this statement to the
committee, for he was there with his
witnesses to prove that Il am right
and Mr.. Dubois is wrong He said
he had been deceived by the ina ccur
acy of the stone layers spirit level, but
he wanted to prove that Mr.. Dubois
had said the stake was six inches high
when it was not.
Mr.. Dubois denied saying so, but
Mr. Mathews declared, after he had
talked for his witnesses himself that he
had proved his statement and had
proved that Mr.. Dubois was 'the
biggest liar on the face OF the EARTH"
1t was found necessary to call Mr..
Mathews to order several times, but
he succeeded in having his say out.
Council adjourned about 8 o'clock.
After Council had adjourned and
the gentlemen engaged in the per-
sonal controversy had cooled down,
Mr.. Matthews and Mr. Dubois talked
| the matter over and Mr.. Dubois ex-
planned his notes to Mr.. Matthews so
he got the correct understanding of
them, and then, in very manly
manner the Councilman stated to the
surveyor that he had been laboring
under a misapprehension and he took
back everything which had been said,
SO the matter was happily righted to
the satisfaction of all.
