Joseph Carpenter Greene.

Joseph c. Greene, who died from an at
tack of the grip yesterday at Auburn,
He lived "a quarter of mile from the
station at Auburn I'm neat cottage with
his wife and only son. He was born Jan.
10, 1910. His family came from Uxbridge,
Mass. His mothers name was Sabra
Whitman. When he was boy his father
moved to Troy, n. Y, and thence to
Cooperstown, in Chenango county OF the
same state, but finally worked back to
Uxbridge again. There the boy grew UP
and began To play musical Instruments
Later he went 10 a music school at Mill
Vile and learned TO play clarionet. Then
he played clarionet at country singing
schools until he took up military music.
He was induced TO join the band of the
Mendon Light Infantry They were proud
of their bugler, and Joe soon became IA
nous all up and down the Blackstone Val
lev, even TO this city. Ned Kendall, an
other bugler, lived in Providence at that
period, and he and Greene formed an ac-
auaintance. Kendall and he and one or
two Others then played great deal in this
city, at musters, reunions and parties.
This was about 1880.
In a short time, two years or so Daniel
Simpson of Boston, famous drummer,
wrote to Providence and informed Greene
that a brass band was TO be formed in
Boston. After "a little dickering, both Ned
Kendall and Joe Greene left for Boston to
JOIN lile new Dd1lu Iut llESJ VI ltS hiuu III
New England BY and by, in 1881, the
idea CT a brass band sprang up in Provi-
dence. The gentlemen who were at the
head of the scheme at once communicated
with Greene at Boston. "A committee
consisting of him, with Henry Il.
Barney, David I. ,CaPron,. Simon
S. Carter Joshua Hathaway, Moses
c. Dunbar, Benjamin J: Bliven,
Seth Is. Cooke, Jr, Eseck B. Macdonald,
Alfred Potter, William &. Dickey and
T. Robinson, were appointed To organize
the American Brass Band. The band was
formed and at an early day, and Joe
Greene became its leader This was the
foundation and original of the present
Reeves American Band, and until 1865,
with the exception of the years 1899 and
1S40, during which Joe was back in Bos-
ton in charge of the Boston Brass Band,
Kendall being absent, Joe Greene was
the leader.
Mr. Greene was an extremely popular
man, possessing very peculiar disposi-
ton, even and unruffled. always meeting
his friends, who were legion. with cor
dial greeting and kindly smile. he knew
everybody in those olden times In De-
cember, 1898, Mr.. Greene married An
gelina NJ. Lawrence of Charleston, Mass,
and one son survives him. The death OF
Mr.. Greene leaves living only two of the
original members of the American Band,
two young men, both residents OF this
city; one, Alfred Potter, the drummer,
and Benjamin =. Robinson, ffer.
The funeral will probably occur at the
Baptist Church at Auburn on Sunday or
Monday. The American Band Veteran
Association. of which Joe was u member,
has been notified of his death. and its
members will be summoned TO attend the
funeral in a body. The American Band
which is now OH short tour, is also TO be
notified of the death at once, and it is ex-
pected, will take part in the cremony.

ARTIST sPRINGER's EXHIBIT.
Many of His Pictures Have Won Him
Great RenOwn.

The exhibition of paintings by Charles
II. Springer at his residence on Slocum
street. has attracted large crowd Of en-
thusiastic admirers. On entering the
studio one is impressed with the lavish
display of bear skin rugs, and heavy dra'
peries, while every available inch of the
Springer's unparalleled genius.
Among the most pleasing pictures eX-
hibted by Mr.. Springer are the following
" st. Mary's on Christmas Morn" "a
strong, mastery painting, representing
the Catholic church on the corner of
Broadway and Barton street. The picture
was finished in April, and since then Mr..
Springer has made reproduction in black
aud white. The frame is of original de-
sign, especially prepared for this picture
by the artist, and consists of a wide mar
gin with holly carvings in the upper cor
ners. Blank panels border the lower por-
tion of the picture and serve to set off to
the best the peculiar tone of the whole.
Mr. Springer has made a speciality of
fog and mist reproduction, and so careful
were the studies that the pictures seem
imbued with life.
The "Shipyard" is one of the artists
favorite pieces of work, and shows conclu-
sively how great is his genius. Two pic
lures of the Asa p. Stowell, as she ap-
peared on the dock mt East Providence, are
shown, each bearing evidence of pains
taking study and hard work.
Among the other most notable pictures
are those entitled 1.-TWO Miles More"
Waiting" "Story of the Shield " and
calling the Cows" all strong in color
and careful in detail, although not over
worked.

James Whitcomb Riley went to Europe
one summer. On the return voyage an in
cident happened which is well worth tell
ing of. To beguile the tediousness of the
voyage 1t was proposed TO give concert in
the saloon of the ship-an entertainment
10 which all capable of amusing their fel.
low voyagers should contribute Mr.. Riley
was asked to recite some of his original
poems, and of course he cheerfully agreed
TO do so.
Among the number present at this mid
ocean entertainment, over which the Rev.
Myron Reed presided, were two Scotch
men, very worthy gentlemen en- route from
the land o. cakes TO the land OF biscuits
upon tour Of investigation. These twain
shared that enthusiasm with which the
auditors applauded Mr.. Riley's charming
recitations. They marveled that so versa
tile genius could have arisen in land re
puted for uncouthness and savagery.

Murphy as Dionicius O'Dowd, was
specially pleasing to the large audience.
There are several good singers and
dancers in the company and the whole en-
tertainment is a rollicking, mirth provok-
ing farce. There number of fine looking
young women who perform a difficult
march in fancy costume, the effect of
which is striking and artistic The play

Office Hours-l0 to II, 2 To and tos. Sun,
days, 10 to II NJ. only.


Observers of the gorgeous sunsets and
afterglows have been most particularly
struck with the immense wealth of the
various shades and tints of red. Now, il
the glowing colors are due TO the presence
Of dust in the air, there must be some
where a display of the colors compile
mentary to the reds, because the dust acts
by a selective dispersion of the colors The
small dust particles arrest the direct course
of the rays Of light and reflect them i'm all
directions; but they principally reflect the
rays OF the violet end of the spectrum,
while the red rays pass on almost un-
checked.
Overhead deep blue reigns in awe inspir-
ing glory. AS the sun passes below the
horizon, and the lower stratum of air with
its larger particles of dust which reflect
light, ceases To be illuminated. the depth
and fullness of the blue most intensely
increase. This effect is produced by the
very fine particles Of dust ih the sky over
head being unable to scatter any colors un-
less those of short wave lengths at the
violet end of the spectrum. Thus we see
above blue in its intensity without any of
the red colors.
When, however, the observer brings his
eyes down in any direction except the west
he will see the blue mellowing into blue
green, green and then rose color. And
some of the most beautiful and delicate
rose tints are formed by the air cooling and
depositing its moisture on the particles of
dust, increasing the size of the particles
till they are sufficiently large to stop and
spread the red rays, when the sky glows
with a strange auroralike Light. q.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

Church See Santa Claus.
T0-MORR0W'S PROGRAM M.
Pleasures in Store for the Fortunate and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. I'm the Churches
and Exercises at the State Institu-
tions.

The Sunday school Of the Central Bap-
tist church held Christmas festival last
evening at $3.50 o'clock, for the little folks,
in order that it might not conflict with
any arrangements which families had
made for Christmas celebrations at nome.
The yestrv of the church was very beauti-
fully decorated with evergreens, and IN
one corner Christmas tree stood par
TALLY hiding from view Reeves orchestra,
which discoursed sweet music at inter
walls through the evening.
Mrs. Annie Scrutton Hough read seve-
raj selections appropriate to Christmas,
and the pastor, the Rev. T. ID. Anderson,
told the children n story about the cata-
combs of Paris and Rome. Santa Claus,
impersonated by Capt. Philip A. Carr,
then entered on tricycle., rs of course he
could not come in a sleigh with no snow,
and rode twice round the room as the
chairs and settees had been arranged so as
To make track clear round; then he
halted before the little folks and gave
them description Of his journey, which
included imitation OF steam cars and
several different animals which he had
passed on his way. Capt. Carr is capt.
tai mimic, and his talk was very interest
ing to the older people as well as the
children.
Santa Claus next began to give out the
presents which were i'm the shape of books
to all the children and at the same time
the members of the Sunday School gave
their offerings which were placed in bas-
ket which stood in the middle of the vestry
draped with evergreen; those offerings,
which were many, will all be turned to-
wards helping some less fortunate indivi-
duals to pass a happy Christmas. After
the presents had been given TO the little
ones, refreshments were served to all,
after which the festival, which will long
be remembered by the children, was
brought to close.
The committee of arrangements com
prised Ernest w. Campbell, Fred w.
Hartwell, William L. Peck, Mrs. Adrian
Matthews and Miss Lille f.. Anderson.
The decorations were the work Of Ernest
w. Campbell. The festival was a de-
cided success, and everybody, including
the pastor, the superintendent. Gen.
Rhodes and the scholars, old and young,
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the evening.
