CHARITY WAS SHOCKED.

A LADY, friend of mankind's in general
and little children In particular, had an ex-
perience on Thursday that has slightly
chilled her universalist doctrine OF af1ec-
tion. Possessing lovely lawn, she thought
she ought to share its pleasures with some
small Sunday school people of her

Then Mr. Salmon took the organ again with
"Reverte," by Saint Saens, and "Vesper
Hymns and Variations" by Whitney. The
style OF these works was altogether different
from those played first, but the organ was
equally responsive, and the audience was
delighted: W. A. McCutcheon's rich voice
was heard to advantage in two solos, "1n

proving a success She is holding for the
Women's Dormitory Association of the
the Columbian Exposition 500 shares which
represent one-half of the 1000 allotted to
Pennsylvania, and of which Miss Lucas, of
Philadelphia carries the remainder. The

will attract hundreds in man

being that many will delay making arrange

all bought up. when it will be impossible to
have redress for their own negligence, as
there is no reserve stock.

expected that in few days the scheme for a

abandoned, according to wise dictation.

voted to neg gotiations for stock.
