sTARvRD IN THE GOLDEN clrY.

He starved In the Golden city,
Mid all its pomp and state,
Nor found one friend to pity
Or save him from his fate.
He asked not OF his neighbor,
He scorned to beg or crave,
He asked but leave to labor.
And found instead--a grave.
Oil Who can tell the feeling
OF utter grief and pain,
That through his heart was stealing,
When round him cried In vain
The children whom he cherished
For bread he could not givel
The heart within him persisted
The hero ceased to live.
In this the happy nation,
Where wealth and splendor be.
Where man in every station
Has plenty, and is freel
So say the sons of Mammon,
The pilfring selfish trim,
Who'd stifie the cries of famine,
That ring from the Stun an lane
That float on the north wind sighing
OF winter cold and grim,
From lips Of wretched dying
OF want in novels dim,
In dens where sunlight never
Pierces the sullen gloom,
But fever and famine ever
Hurry the inmates doom.
Rise from your death-like slumberS
Ye toilers in your might
Rise in your matches numbers
Till tyrauts yield you right,
Michael McGrath In Labor World.

The Morgan Concert.

This interesting harp and organ concert
took place at the Metropolitan Temple on
Thursday evening. and was attended by a
numerous and fashionable audience. Mr..
Morgan's performance on the organ was
much enjoyed. particularly the war march
from Wagner's "Renz," by Edgar S. Kelly,
as also were the duets, the music from the
TWO grand instruments blending together
in perfect harmony. EncoreS were de-
manded and gracefully given. During
the evening Miss Maud Morgan de-
livered her famous essay, The Harp,
Its History and Romance" in a
clear and musical voice, with grace and
charm of manner that was perfectly capti-
waiting. Her distinct delivery made it a
pleasure TO listen to her, and her tale of the
harp from its first inception thousands Of
years ago 10 the present time is a most In
teresting story, well told. Miss Morgan
played her solos with her usual grace and
inimitable refined style, she vas enthusiast
tically encored and received many hand
some floral tributes from her admiring
friends Miss Morgan has been chosen 90

Foreign Organists Coming.

There has Of late been a renewal Of IN
terest in organ recitals in New YORK, and
we may naturally presume the FAD will
sweep the country. 4 number Of players
have been heard recently, but too often
their attempts have been wearis9me rather
than inspiring. An offer has been made 10
two eminent organiSts, Monsieur Gum0nt
of Paris and Mr. Best of Liverpool,
to give series of organ Tectals
in New York and other cities. These
men stand in the highest rank OF their pro-
fessiOnS, and represent two totally distinct
schools of organ playing. They each have
q reputation and viii command the atten-
ton of the musical public. Mr.. Best is the
organist at st. Georges Hall, Liverpool,
which contains one Of the finest organs in
the world. he plays 10 the public two or
three afternoons in the week, the city bear
ing the expense. 81. Georges Hall is one Of
the sights Of Liverpool. and no one passing
through should miss hearing a performance
on the organ in this grand building.

SERVICE OF NOTICE.
An Important Decision for the Lega
Fraternity.

An Important Decision for the Legal
Fraternity.
In denying q motion to dismiss an appeal
in the case OF Heinlen vs.. Heibron and
Others The Supreme Court decided yesterday
what constitutes service of notices under
sections 1011 and 1912. Code OF Civil Pro-
cedure.
The delivery which constitutes personal
service under the first named section. it
says, need not be made by the individual
who Is attempting to make the service but
can be effected through a clerk or messen-
ger, or through any agency by which a de-
livery can be made; and when the notice is
so delivered the service becomes a personal
service.
The fact that the person upon whom the
service is TO lie made resides or has his
Office In a different place from that of the
pergOn making the service does not require
that the service be made by mail, or preclude
personal service, aud the person seeking to
make the service can avail himself of any
agency such as Wells, Fargo & Co.
or the instrumentality Of the post
office department with as much effect az If
he had employed any other messenger. The
delivery OF the notice through such agency
renders the service personal, and the proof
Of such delivery establishes personal
service.
The SCI vice by mail authorized by section
1912 does not contemplate delivery as part
Of the service. as is seen by the provision of
section 1913 that 1.-THE service is complete at
the time Of the deposit in the POstOilice.
1t is incumbent, however, upon any one
VINO would avail himself OF this mode OF
service TO have it clearly appear upon the
record that the case is one in which such
service is permitted that the mode pointed
out by the statute for making such service

BAD CITY HALL WORK.
Auditor Smiley on the Warpath for Con


Auuitor smiley on the Warpath for Con-
tractors.
The fur flew at the meeting of the New
City Hall Commissioners yesterday morn
ing There were present Mayor Sander
son, City and County Attorney burst and
Auditor Smiley.
Commissioner Smiley was especially
present and by his attitude the fray was
scented from afar.
incidentally Contractors Mckay and Nc
Cam, Architect Havens, Superintendent
Hughes and several others were present.
The battle opened when a motion was
made TO pass Mccain & McKay's prog
ress estimate of $3.50 to print. The money
was for plasterlng and other work on the
Civ Hail.
Commissioner Smiley called a halt. He
SAID that the plaStering had been improperly
done In the Totunda and it should not be
paid Tor. The amount Of the plastering
was SlO64, and he moved that 25 per cent of
1t be deducted. WeilZ the SUBJ contractor,
he said, had practically put on only one
coat when the specifications called for
three.
superintendent Hughes said that the work
was one OF the best pieces in the City Hall.
Smiley said that he did not care; he
wanted It done according to the specifca-
lons. The inspector VINO had charge Of
the work said that it was satisfactory to
HIM, and that the specifications, as inter
preted by Auditor Smiley, were impractic-
able. The latter said that the plastering
should be three-fourths of an inch thick,
and WellZ said that it would average an
inch. The estimate was passed.
The next battle was on the allowing of
$500 for the cOrrugated-iron work on the
northeast wing. Smiley objected to paying
the money, saying that the job was very
bad one, had not been done according to
specifications, and was not done up TO any
where near the mark.
superintendent Hughes and Architect
Ravens agreed with the Auditor that the
job was poor one and would have to be
done over. Quite discussion followed, and
it was finally decided to allow the $780, with
the understanding that the contractors
would get no more money until the work
was properly done.

One of the most common aud annoying
effects Of catarlh is a continual dropping in
the back part Of the throat, which is es-
pecially noticed while lying down in bed.
The patient affected with this disease feels
fairly we'll in the afternoon, but toward
evening the nose becomes PARTIALLY stopped,
the voice gets a little husky, aud in some
cases the throat may feel little sore or
stuffed up, and when he retires for the
night the patient finds that, added 20 his
other symptoms, he cannot breathe through
his nose, which has become entirely
plugged up, the result Of which is that he

After getting out of bed in the morning he
finds his throat and upper part Of the swal-

The first thing he is called to do is to rid

But this Is not the worst. During the
night considerable of the offensive mucus is
swallowed, and when food is taken into the

is the food decompOses, gas is formed,
which blcats the atient up, causing him to
