The personnel of this quartet has re-

years, and herein. through constant prac-
tice, lies the secret of its high ly artistic
work. so rarely attained by similar organ
izstions, owing to the constant chan ging
of members. so severely detrimental To the
best results.
The playing of this club is marked by
its great power and at the same time of
d~elicacy and refinement truly marvellous.
A musical critic of prominence. in speaking
of the clubs performance at a recent con-
cert. says: The work was given with q
unity of feeling and siugleness of interpre-
tation that was artistic 10 the last degree;
the soothing. stirring. almost startling
movements necessary TO carry out a the

MANsLAUGHTER DEMANDED.

Plymouth Church Members Decide That
Such q Case Il Possible.
NEW YORK, March 4-rSpecial. i
Twenty new members were admitted to
Plymouth Church last night, among them
Darwin j. Meserole, who shot and killed
Theodore Larbig in Mrs. Dovie Comstock's
fiat in Sackett street, Brooklyn, last sum-
mer. Deacon Henry L. Pratt announced
that the case of Mr. Meserole would re-
ceive special consideration. Rev. DR.. Abbott
at once took the platform and read q state
ment. The statement contained this pas
sage: 81 have, on behalf of the member
ship committee, inquired of several disin-
terested and ta1r-minded attendants of the
trial, and their testimony confirms that of
Rev. Mr.. Temple, who writes: I may add
that it is nv own deliberate judgment that
MI. Meserole's shooting was not only ex-
cusable, but was, by every consideration of
manhood, demanded"
DR.. Abbott said further that Mr.. Meserole
did not desire to enter Plymouth Church if
there was any considerable minority op-
posed to his admission, and that he would
withdraw his application if there was any
danger Of its producing any dissension. A
standing vote was taken, and the resolution
to admit Mr. Meserole was carried unani-
mously. Among those who stood up was
Mrs. Beecher, the venerable widow of Henry
Ward Beecher.

A BOY BABY MURDERER.

Bud Harris, Only 8 Years Old, Kills . =
Months-OId Infant-He Drives . Sharp
ened Spike Into Its Skull, Time and
Again.
COLUMBIA, S. c., March 4.-[Special j.
Probably the annals of child crime will be
searched in vain for the parallel of the
fendish act of a 5-year-old colored boy Of
this city, by which an infant died linger-
ing death here to-day.
Last evening Addie Beach, colored
woman, left her infant of Z months in the
cradle. Scarcely had the mother gone out
than Bud Harris, a boy of years who
defenseless little one. He carried in his
hand a sharp-pointed iron instrument
made from a spike bent and sharpened,
and plunged it into the infants skull, again
and again, picking at its eyes and jabbing
the instrument into its ears.
The child's cries attracted the attention
of the mother, who came running in only to
find her little one bathed in blood
and in dying condition. Later
she found Bud Harris at the gate, digging
holes in the ground with the iron with
which he had attacked the child. Neighbors
focked to the spot, and one Of them
wrung confession from the juvenile muir
derer, who seemed entirely unconcerned at
the whole matter.
The child, after lingering until to-day,
afternoon. The boy butcher repeated his
confession to the Coroner, and the jury
rendered the following verdict: ''That the
infant of Addie Beach came to its death
from wounds in the head inflicted by Bud
Harris, child years old, and who the
jury cannot hold responsible, on account Of
his age.''

Great excitement was occasioned in this
city to-day by bold and partially success
full attempt to wreck place of worship with
dynamite. The people residing in the vicin-
ity of the Church of St Nicholas, one of the
prominent churches Of the city, were much
alarmed by terrible explosion which
caused the buildinns to vibrate and the
windows to rattle, and in some instances
fall to pieces. An Investigation showed that
bomb had been exploded within the sacred
edifce, and that it had wrought much de-
struction to the building and its valuable

CRAZED BY FUN.
A Well-Known Minstrel Driven Insane BY
Franks of Practical Jokers,

A Well-Known Minstrel Driven Insane by
Franks Of Practical Jokers.
NEW YORK, March 3-Henry Woodson,
actor and negro character delineator, was
committed on Wednesday to the Flatbush
Insane Asylum. His trouble, it is said,
was largely caused by the practical jokes of
members of the company with which he
last played.
While travelling through the West and
South with w. s. Cleveland's Minstrels q
number Of practical jokes were played on
him until the man, who was of hypochon-
driacal character, was driven to distraction.
On one occasion he found . real tombstone
with his name neatly inscribed thereon at
the foot Of his bed. Another day his trunk
was nailed to the ceiling. One of the
company got him, on another occa-
sion, to tell story to an audience in
which was what the "joker" called great
local 'igag''-something the audience would
appreciate, he said. When the poor actor
spoke the lines he was nearly mobbed, for
it was an allusion of a nature to enrage the
people of the town. He was directed to the
wrong dressing rooms, and told to order tho
manager of some theater to black his boots,
which he did, under the impression that he
was addressing the bootblack.
The last joke, which is said to have un-
balanced his mind, began about three weeks
ago in Omaha, when he was'shown in the
wrong train and arrived in Ell Paso, Tex,
instead of Denver. He wandered about
that part of the country for days, and he
was demented when discovered. It is said
that his reason can be restored by rest.
