MIR. Elson's Lecture

Mr.. Louis c. Elson is no stranger to the
musical people of Providence, and his first
lecture attracted the usual attentive
audience yesterday afternoon. Mr. Elson
traced the development of music from its
origin 90 the introduction of the first
principles of counterpoint in the church
music of the middle ages He showed
how the first beginnings Of music were
contemporaneous with the earliest civiliz-
alton, then tracing its growth among the
Egyptians and Hebrews, who probably
first used musical Instruments, he out
lined the scientific character given TO il by
the Greeks. The next important develop
ment was the introduction of lines and
spaces 20 indicate pitch by Guido OF
Arezzo. Pitch had been formerly indi-
Gated by rising and falling accents placed
over the words. The next step was the
introduction of various notes TO indicate
the length of the tone, then followed,
under Gregory the Great, the introduction
of rythm into ecclesiastical music. From
this time music may be said to he modern
in its growth.

carried on to SO great an extent as
now. Never were SO many stoves made
and sold, never were such skill and
art expended in their manufacture,
and never were they such things OF
beauty as now. The modern parlor
heater is triumph no less in art than
in utility. To the very greatest posi-
BILE extent it controls the heat general
cd, reducing and almost suspendinR
combustion, conveying the gases away
perfectly, and even aiding in the work
of purifying the atmosphere OF the
room. And at the same time intense
heat can be produced with the mini
mum of trouble.
And as the brazier and stove OF the
ancients could at times be used for
cooking, the development OF this i'm
plement took two-fold direction.
While the furnace and parlor heater
provide warmth, the range discharges
all duties in regard to cooking. Fine
as were the roasts prepared in the
baronial hall, savory as was the bak-
ing done in the old-fashioned Dutch
oven, both are equaled or exceeded in
the kitchen range Of to-day. With the
smallest possible expenditure Of room,
the greatest saving of fuei and the
most perfect arriving at results, Ameri
cans may well assure themselves they
cannot hope to be better served thar
now.

But it's never to day which the spirit

One day at u time. What 10Y is at hight
Suui. 10Y as the heart can never forget
And pulses are throbbing with wild delight,
How hard to remember that suns must

One day at time! But single day;
Whatever its load, whatever its length;
And there's bit of scripture to say
That, according to each, shall ae oui

One day at a time. 'Tis the whole OF life;
| All sorrow, all JOY, are measured therein
| The bound OF our purpose, our noblest STRIFE
The one only countersign sure to WIN!

THE more we know of Alaska the
more valuable and resourceIul that
region seems. For some time there
has been a desire on the part OF En-
gland to encroach on our seals in that
region, but the fur trade is not the
only or even the main reason why the
Territory is to be priced SO highly.
On the contrary, one Of the most emf
nent authorities on Alaska recently
gave it as his opinion that in the event
of the entire destruction of the fur seal,
the salmon. COD, and herring fisheries
OF the Territory--and which are de-
stroyed by the seal would be so pro

MERRY INDIANS.
The Theory that They Never Laugh Prov

The Theory that They Never Laugh Prov
ed to he Erroneous.
The general theory of white men is
that an Indian is taciturn, reticent,
and self-contained, without a streak of
humor, and no taste at all for good
joke. This is an error, says the Kan
sas City Star. They are funny them
selves, like fun in others, and probably
do more laughing than anybody, on
infinitely slighter foundation. An out
fit of Navajos had just concluded a
vigorous and searching investigation
of the swill-barrel, which stood at the
rear of the restaurant at Engle, N, NJ,
one day, when Santa Fe fireman, who
stood watching them, concluded to
wash them up q little. They surely
needed it, albeit they chung to different
views from the fireman.
BY Establishment and guile and much
as elder people pet reluctant and
timid children when steering their in
experience against some medicinal
! deadfall, the firemen took the gather
ing of savages over to the watertank,
and, letting down the spout, earnestly
advised them to stand beneath and see
what they could see. Some four or five
had the resolution to do this, the
major portion of the gang retiring to a
safe distance and taking q very pessi-
mistic view of the proceeding. When
the candidates were all placed, their
friend, the fireman, counted lone,
two, three" and IN assistant turned on
the tank. About a ton of water struck
those poor Indians all at once. For a
second they seemed held by the deluge
itself and stood motionless. but the
next with soul transtixing shrieks.
they started. They did not run no,
fly, for that would not have been hal
fast enough; they just hit about three
high places on tho plain and were
several miles away.
The dry Indians laughed and howled
with delight and for two hours afte1
the joke their yclls of pleasure still
resounded through the little camp.

THERE is no nation that takes 80
much interest in the career and per-
sonality Of its leading citizens as do
we Americans, but our attitude toward
great men is not sufficiently deferential
to be termed hero worship. We pay
them respect but not homage. W.

John Tacker, farmer. who resided
IA miles north OF here, was shot and
instantly killed, the night OF October
Il. on the Sulphur Springs road. near
Salem Church, by Henry Sheffield, OF
this place. S. M. Dean. of this place,
Sheriff w. B. McGshes and Henry
Sheffield left Iuka with their hounds
about o'clock in the afternoon and
went to Tacker's house for supper.
where the party was joined by several
other citizens for hunt. About 8
o'clock p. NJ. the hunting party left
Tacker's and soon were trailing a fox.
Sheriff McGehee was the last man to
see Sheffield and Tacker before the
killing.
He left Tacker and Sheffield at the
forks OF the road disputing as to
which was proper to take in order to
overtake the advance party. In a
short time the sheriff had oyertaken
the hunters. Sheffield rode up and
proposed to exchange mules with one
George Billiard. the latter riding Shelf
fields mule and Sheffield being on
Hackers mule. when questioned as
to where he had left Tacker he said he
did not know whore he was, and pro-
posed to the crowd to go home. The
men present then remembered having
heard pistol shots a few moments be-
fore and asked Sheffield if he had
heard them and he said he had not.
The sheriff thereupon seized Shelf
field and had him disarmed, saying to
him he would hold him until they
found what had become of Tacker
"for, said he, ''yoti and he were
quarreling when | left YOU" Shelf
field thereupon confessed he had
killed Tacker, and said he had it TO do
in seli-defense, and told them where
they would find the body. when found
Tacker was lying on his back stiff in
death, with an empty double-barrel
derringer lying ungrasped in his right
hand, his mule and little dog being
near by. and "a jug of whisky lying
some yards down the road. He and
his victim both have families. At the
inquest no new facts were elected. A
preliminary trial was had and Shelf
field was bound over in a bond of
