THE MusrN CONCERT.
The Sale of Seats to Open Tomorrow
Morning.


The next concert of the Young Mems
Hebrew Association series will be the Divide
Muslin concert, Wednesday night The sale
of seats will begin at Buffers tomorrow
morning. Musia is the only violin virtueso
who plays the original Psganini variations,
having secured them from a relative of the
famous Paganini, and possessing now the
only copy in existence.
The variations are so very intricate and
deceptive as to frequently call forth doubt
from violinists In the audience as to their
being played upon one string, yet the violin
upon which this great composition will be
played is open to inspection. No virtuoso
whe has travelled through America has
received such universal ovations from tue
public, and such unanimous high praise
from the critics, as Musin. He
has never yet received an adverse
criticism In any American paper. This Is
truly very remarkable thing, aud only
has the tendency to prove that Musia is all,
and even more, than is claimed for him.
May eminent critics have pronounced him
the greatest violinist liviag, and the only
vloiinist that can be favorably compared
with the great "Weiniawskfn

Considerable complaint is being made by
residents of Currybown about the carrying
out of tae sidewalk paving ordinance The
sidewalk on the north side of Montgomery
street at Harris is much in need of repair,
but was passed over, while all others in the
neghborhood were closely locked after and
made to conform TO the ordinance
The contractor was asked tho reason of
this, and he left the impression that some
one in authority had instructed him to leave
it as it was AS a result several who have
not yet paid their paving bin threaten to
refuse to recognize the city's demand for the
money until this particular sidewalk is put
in proper order. They say that the ordi-
nance do,s not permit discrimination, and

The Remedy.

On the 9th, Rev. VIM. Short, rector
Of st. Peters Episcopal church of st.
Louis, spoke in Towards hall. under
the auspices of the Reform club His
subject was Christianity and Social
Reformers." A. Is. Denton presided,
and W. B. Addington was secretary.
Mr.. Short said the problems OF life
were becoming more complex as civili-
cation advanced and the indications
were that the great battle for the solu-
ton of social questions was to be
fought in this country. BY social re-
form was meant some method which
would provide for more just distribu-
ton of wealth. The question was not
one of poverty, an alienation of hard
conditions: neither did IL eoncern the
issue whether the statistics indicate
that the condition Of the poorer classes
is better now than it was during the
last century. The question was one Of
Justice II social reform had only to
do with poverty, then Christian teach
crs might stand off and allow the mat
ter to be settled without their inter-
ference, but II the question was one OF
justice then Christian teachers should
be found fighting in the front ranks.
The Christian church had too long been
wrangling about theologiss. and had
not pald sufficient attention to ths

We heard her numbering up the stairs

grandma lifted Molly's head and
slapped her back, and made her drink

temporal conditions of the race.
The church believed in fraternity
OR the brotherhood Of man, but
hitherto this belief had only been
theoretical 1t was in the practical de-
NAL of these fraternal equalities that
the trouble exists This was not 3
mathematical equality, but rather an
ethical one, the equality of the children
of father, each of whom might differ
from the other in ability and character.
and yet be entitled to an equality
at the fathers board. TWAS an equal
ity which would not discourage in any
respect the exertions of superior abil-
ity, but at the same time would not
deny to the weaker brothers an equal
opportunity 1t was not an equality OF
condition that was desired. but an
equality of opportunity. Our civiliza'
ton must cease to evolve extremes.
Many sins which the Christian church
tries to cure are the result of human
conditions as much as human deprav-
ity. A reform of some sort must come.
What shall it be? Some of us think we
have clew to it, and believe that God
is not guilty of withholding from his
children the necessities of life, but that
these resources of nature are monop-
olized by a few who will not allow
their brethren to approach the great
storehouse of nature. If it was asked
what this clew was, the answer has
been furnished by Henry George. That
the few have made the land of the
earth private property is the crime OF
all the ages. A genera! discussion fol-

A New Years Day That Meant Great
Deal to Two Folks.
"a good many years have passed
since Tom Shaw brought his wife home
to the house on the hill; and there is
no doubt they have both grown a
good deal older and wiser since then.
To be sure, as folks find it nowadays,
time does fly fast. / remember now
the picture in my little primer books
Of old Father Time with sickle in his
hand: he seemed to be moving at a
right smart pace, but la! he looks
mighty weak in the legs, and don't
have an idea that he could get on very
fast at the best. On the very next
page there's picture of very little
tree with bushy top, and man as
big as itself sitting on it, and under the
tree there's a bit of rhyme that says:

we made splendid dinner, though
Molly said she was expecting us to
drop down dead, or run raving mad
after eating it. That's the way she
said bewitched things served the folks
in the ''ould counthry.''
We sat around the fire late that
night, talking over things. Just as we
were going to bed Jim, the hired man,
came to the door and said: II don't
know what's the matter with Mollie.
She's wallsin' about the yard barefoot,
and just a nightgown on and it's freez-
ing hard. l spoke to her, and she
never turned her head, but just kept
on
"Just as l thought" pa said, jumping
up, 'the woman is somnambulist, a
sleep-walker You must not make a
noise, or wake her suddenly"
We came upon her at the bars. She
and got through the hole, and then
moved swiftly toward the henhouse,
which was in the back lot. We fol-
lowed there, and she was fumhling in
the moss and straw of an empty nest
She drew something out, and the moon
was as bright as day, SO we could see
it was a white bag.
''Eler money, I'm sure" whispered
pa.
She took the bag to another nest,
and covered it there carefully, and then
marched out of the henhouse, not see
ing us, though we were almost touch
ing her
She went straight to her room and
pa said we must leave the money in the
nest and we could tell her and let her
get it herself.
You ought to have seen her the next
morning when we took her to the hen
house and showed her her treasure.
She Rugged the bag and kissed it and
cried over it, as if it were q lost child;
and then she hollered about her in
justice to her darlint, Terry O'Brien,
and how she would send for him and
marry him that very day.
But ! am glad to say that "Misther
O'Brien" didn't have the spending of
Mollie's earnings He had been con-
cerued in a burglary and the police
were after him, and that is the reason
he had left town in such hurry.
He never came back and Molly still

Grandma lives on farm about two
miles from the town of Shelton, and
though she's a very old lady she's as
spry and active as if she was young,
and manages the farm by herself just
as well as grandpa did when he was
living.
We live so far from Pine Grove
that's the name of the farm-that we
always get there day or two before
there isn't any stinting at her table, or
winlling and frowning at you not to
take two Helps of this or that, and
when she catches ma or the girls doing
it at me. she calls out:
For goodness sake, let Bob eat as
much as he wants to! Where's the
sense of stinting boy of thirteen in
his eating? l like to see young people
eat as if they enjoyed their meals, and
not mincing and dallying over their
plates. Let the boy alone, Maria
Grandma has cook. an Irishwoman
named Molly McShane, just as jolly
and good-natured as herself. She's
lived ten years at Pine Grove. and she's
as glad to see us all as gran lima is.
She's no beauty, Molly isn't, for she's
short and squat, and has no more fig
ure than cotton bale, and her face is
broa and red. and her nose looks rs if
it had been mashed fiat.
She isn't young, either, but for all
that sh5's got a beau named Tersnce
O'Brien. A worthless young fellow he
is, grandma says, who wants to get at
Molly's bag of savings, and if he can
caiole her out of them without marry
ing her, he'll do it: but if he can't, he'll
make her Mrs. O'Brien, and get away
with the money. But Molly keeps a
tight grip on her bag. She and Ter
ence count the money over every two
or three months, but she holds on to
every nickel, and he can't set one Of
'em out of her.

money in savings bank, but she boot
