Rehearsal of the Dessauer Opera Com

Rehearsal of the Dessauer Opera Com
 panY.
 Another rehearsal of the Dessauer Opera company was held in Academy hall last evening. Under MT. Ryley's efficient di- rection the work is proceeding in 8 most excellent manner. The opera to be ren- dered, as most know, is the 'Mikado," 1" and it bids fair to be production of the highest class. MT. Platon Brounoff, who sings the part of the "Mikado," |" has voice and mein most admirably adapted to comic opera singing and is sure to capture the audience. The other members of the con- pany are also doing excellent work. Un- der MT. Dessauer's management the music has been in 8 condition very satisfactory for some time. And what now remains is to arrive at 8 greater degree of perfection in the acting and the theatrical effect.

REVIVAL MEETINGS.

Great Interest Manifested at the | Meetings In the First Baptist and l Davenport Churches-Mr. Davfd- | Sonss niscours on Heaven.
 Rev. MT. Davidson, the evangelist, spoke to the meeting in the Baptist church last evening on the subject of "Heaven."
 Taking as an outline for his discourse that beautiful verse, "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it entered in the heart of man," etc., he first told an incl dent of @ man who asked of his pastor where heaven was. The pastor replied: "Up on that hill wonder is poor widow lady who is sick without proper care, food or heat. You go buy some food and coal, hire a nurse to take care of her and pay for it out of your own pocket, and you will find heaven" The man did just as he was directed, and when he again saw the minister he told him he had indeed found heaven.
 He then alluded to the treasures of art poetry and the achievements of art, speak ing of the various galleries of painting and sculpture in foreign countries, and how
 much all these were surpassed by nature,
 SO far transcending art, but that the gloriea | of heaven were infinitely above and sur | passing any of these.
 Then he spoke of music, the great ora
 torios of Handel and Mozart and the great
 masters of the past and present, but the
 music of heaven was composed of sweetel
 strains, more harmonious melodies thar
 could be conceived of by mortals.
 Neither hath it entered into the imagin
 ation of man of the glories of the heavenly ! Usxsl ,1es s,,,o fo . is beyond his conception; in a word thing
 of earth are no adequate standards where by to measure things of heaven.
 Heaven will by no means be empty-al
 innumerable multitude whom no man cal number-people from other worlds, tn great army of infants that died before com ing to years of responsibility. It is ah surd, therefore, for you to go down to per dition as though you were going with th
 crown. 1t is much the same as if on goes to prison, because there are grea . many in it. It has always been hard fo , me to see how the poor man could tur hard enough time in this world he volur tarily chooses harder lot in the nex
 Another delightful thing about heaven !; that 1t will be home. When we reach tha home we will not be strangers.
 A very interesting testimony meetin was held afterward at which nearly a !. those interested in the meeting spoke. I'll meetings have been very successful, abot
 200 persons being interested. Next wee ' and will be held at the Davenport churcl ! Sunday there will be three service l l preaching morning and evening and 0 P. S. 0. E. service at 4:30 p. m. Wee ;, days the afternoon meeting will be at o'clock.

The item published yesterday to the eff feet the wheel of hack driven by Thomas McGlynn came off and that Miss Justine Ineersoll was in the hack and was startled by the accident had, it appears, no foundation.

The Late Merritt Barnes of North
 Haven.
 Deeds, not words, are what tell the worth of man, but when life work is finished, and such life as that of the late MT. Mer- ritt Barnes of North Haven, it seems 6t- ting that few words telling of work &C., complished would not be out of place. MT. Barnes married Miss Mary Todd on May 16, 1891. Mrs. Barnes lived only few years and on Septembar 24, 1928, MT. Barnes married Miss Grace Ann Fitch who sur wives him. MT. and Mrs. Barnes united with the Congregational church in 1881 during the Rev. w. J. Boardman's pas torate. He honored the master in quiet, unassuming way. For several years ill health has prevented his leaving home. In 1923 and 1884 MT. Barnes was member of the board of selectmen in company with the late Hon. Ezra Stiles, and again in 1848. Politically he was a strong demo- crat and in 1844 and 1852 represented the town in legislature.

Good time, correct time, time that chimes out the hour and half hour in such mellow tones that your fancy supplies the "dim religious light" the stately columns and the grace full arches of some quaint ca- thedral, all boxed up in a little marbleized space of ten by twelve. Compact in form, ar tistic in design, correct in ev- cry respect, even to the figures on their dials-Arabic or Ro- man, richly studded on French gilt faces. It's a positive plea sure to tell the time by them, even if you are in a hurry to catch a train, and run a good chance of being left behind. CLOCKS. .-
 We refer to Clocks-to the Clocks now grouped among a rare collection of bronze fig. ures at our jewelry counter. The stately knight in armor vis-a-vis with the laggard schoolboy, dragging reluctant feet to school. To tell you the plain facts of the case. we have a lot of clocks and bronze: that must move out of oul way, to give space to some other candidates for public favor.
 To accomplish this result we have cut the price in half.
 Here's one sample. A marbleiZed iron clock strikes the hour and half hour French gilt dial, Arabic fig ured, 10 inches high-reducec to $3,e8.
 All the others are similarly low priced. Come and take ; glance at them. If you have paid a jewellers price lately we say don't-because we dis like to make you feel bad Feeling badly over money l misspent will be remedied by this prescription:

 point, lots of money. Among the clocks and bronzes ar,
