BLIND TOMS pEcLrNE.S
Tho Famous Negro Musioal Prodigy Il
an Insane Asylum,

Tho Famous Negro Musioal Prodigy in
an Insane Aaylum.
The greatest musical wonder Of the
negro race-"Blind Tom"-who for
years delighted the public with his re-
msrkable performances upon tho pi-
ano Is passing the closing Days Of his
life amid tho pathetic scenes Of IN in
sane asylum.
Tom In the days Of slavery was tho
property Of Gen. James N, Bethune,
says a writer in the Chicago Tlmes .
planter OF Georgia. who, after the war,
moved to Virginia, and took up bis
residence on an estate near tho town
Of Warrenton. ono Of tho prettiest vii
lages In the commonwealth. classic
spot in the history Of the war, and
noted then as now for Its cultivated
and pleasure-loving people. Hero it
was In the shadow Of the beautiful
Blus Ridge mountains that Blind
Toms" genius unfolded itself. found n
vent In that atmosphere Of refinement
and culture. and finally astonished the
world.
His masterpiece, The Battle Of
Manassas" (Which was fought a few
miles away. is miracle OF imagina-
tive form. His conception of tho
events captivates the ear with its first
chord, and In the execution that fol-
lows he initiates tho music OF the nfe
and drums, tho charge Of the cavalry,
the thunder OF the batteries, aud tho
agony OF the wounded and dying so
faithfully that great martial
panorama seems to float through tho
fancy Of the hearer.
When more lad Tom would con-
ceal himself In his masters house,
and after midnight creep into tho
parlor and play tho same airs with
which his young mistress had enter
tained her guests few hours before,
being cautious to suppress his notes
by placing his foot on the soft" pedal.
Hc was soon detected. however, in this
diversion and reprimanded. The chill
dren of the household. delighted with
his marvellous powers, encouraged him
to play on all occasions by stealth.
But his genius soon became so mani
fest that his master found 1t to his In
terest to have 1t cultivated and turned
to profit
Tom has been simpleton from his
birth. As an evidence OF his mental
weakness he invariably applauded
himself by clapping his bands and ap-
peared as II in fit Of ecstacy after
each performance.
Although nature fashioned him sim
ple-minded she gracefully utoned for
his shortcoming, and atunod his gen.
tic soul 10 n wondrous harmony.
Previous to his retirement he could
reproduce the notes Of the most extra
ordinary performers. Eminent musi-
csans who have tested his ucumen for
music ngreo that he has the finest ma
tive car for one who wos born blind
that has ever come under their no.

"7Aorc's something behind t."
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurablc case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, You
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
licve in it. "There must bo some
thing back Of it'll"
But it's q plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is tho Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in tho Head. 10 its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has record that
goes back for 25 years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve - it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rom
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean il.
To bo suro there's risk in it, but
it's go very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offerp" True enough.

A handsome material formerly used
only for wraps but now used for parts
of gowns is velours du Nord, fabric

The slight paniers which are n part
of many pretty gowns this season are
of different material from the bodice
and skirt Usually they match the
vest and sleeves, but in some instances
are quite different from any other part
| OF the dress except perhaps the collar
Many OF the stylish skirts on both
street and house dresses are finished

cut out leaf or vine patterns ut the
