Mr.. VIM. ]. HENDERsoNs musical lectures
before the Art Society on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings were highly appre-
ciated by the inner circle of the elect who
gathered to hear the much esteemed critic
and author. Many pleasant circumstances
attended MIR. Henderson's visit to the
home of his boyhood. Among the So
cial attentions paid him was a delight
full little supper at the Duquesne
after the second lecture given by
MI. Beveridge Webster. Nj. Henderson was
both surprised and pleased, by the way at
the general excellence OF Pittsburg's Karl
Merz Musical Library, which, he said, was
richer in historical and literary works than
the department. of the Astor Library, the
best musical collection in New York. Our
home library ought to be more appreciated,
and it is hoped soon to put it in better
shape for use.

about in this department, one would think
TO arouse the reader's lively curiosity to see,
the new and revolutionary device. No
amount o: written description can do
justice to a matter like this; believing must
come from both seeing and hearing the
actual operation of the instrument
This opportunity is at last to be afforded
to home-seeking Pittsburgers, after the rest
of the world has had several years OF be-
wilderment over Mr.. Janko and the future
possibilities of his invention.
Mrs A. Pupin, Of New York, will give q
recital on the new keyboard "a piano will
be attached, too) next Wednesday evening
at the Duquesne Conservatory Hall Mrs.
Pupin, after long pursuit of the conyen-
tional ivories at Leipzig and elsewhere, has
within the current year come to the resolve
to devote herself as q disciple Of the
apostle Paul Janko. She says she mastered
the intricacies of the new machine inside of
six months, and that it is not so formidable
as it looks.
Mrs. Pupin will play off the two key
boards against each other, giving the same
composition on both so that all can see the
difference. She will play. among other
things, Chopin's c sharp minor Scherzo and
arpeggio Etude, Rubinstein's Barcarole in
g and Liszt's Eleventh Rhapsodie. After
the recital Mrs. Pupin gives an informal
talk on the merits of the keyboard, answers
questions and solves doubts.

ial matter for composer to venture on a
new departure at the age Of Verdi, for this
is the first comic opera he has ever written,
and the extreme interest manifested in his
'Falstaff' is fully justified on that account"

No scheme for music in single church
has come under the writer's attention that
promises so much as the one now planning
by the authorities OF Calvary P E. Church,
Pittsburg-which is given in the words Of
the rector, Rev. George Hodges, d. D., as
follows:
"We propose to have a monthly musical
service every month in 1898, beginning
probably with the second Sunday in Janu-
ary. The service will consist of some work
of the great religious composers-a mass an
oratorio, cantata-giyen under Mr.. Ret
ter's leadership, with our full choir and a
full orchestral accompaniment The first
work will very likely be Gounod's st.
Cecilia Mass. Mr.. Retter is working now
on the scheme for the year.
"This,plan has for its purpose the uplift-
ing of church music by accustoming people
to the very best there is, and it IS under
taken with some belief in the good infiu-
euce of good music. Hook for real spiritual
benefit from these services.
"Of course these services will be freely
open to all people. But as there is con-
siderable expense involved, we look to the
people who come to help US out There
will be an ofertory at each service.

mind are Spohr's Last Judgment to be
given By Mr.. Ringwalt's choir and an or

cital some time early in December, and a
talk at the Brotherhood meeting in the
Parish House, probably December 19, by
Mr.. J. j. Miller, with Wagner at Bay

Is not this promising way for church
to put its shoulder to the wheels of music?

The New York Eue,ing Post pays this
tribute to the memory of the lately de-
ceased master of song, Robert Franz:
1t cannot be said, in one sense. that the
death of Robert Franz was a loss to the
m usical world, for, unlike Beethoven. he
ceased composing after he became deaf. On
the other hand, the general public does not
fully realize that Franz was, with the excep-
tion of Schubert, the greatest song compos-
er the world has ever seem He wrote no
four-story symphonies nor four hour operas
and oratorios, and therefore he suffered, as

A Suggestion on Pianos
from Mellor g. HOene.

In these days of over.reaching competi-
tion, the buyers of pianos and organs should
use their most careful JUDGMENT before they
pass over their money. Nothing pleases US
more than co deal with people who have
looked over the field carefully and ex-
amined all other makes of pianos and Or
gans. All we DESIRE or request, is an oppor
tunitv to exhibit the matchless
Chickering and Hardman Pianos,
whose perfection is known the world over.
They need no extolling. as they have
eulogized themselves wherever heard. We
declare the same to be true of the other
superb instruments sold by as, including
the

Republican Candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.

Republican Candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.
The Republican party is essentially q
party Of the people, and in all its history
has delighted to honor those men who,
springing from the loins of the masses,
have demonstrated the kingliness Of
their origin by possessing the talent
and energy to fill high positions and
discharge exalted functions in an &C.
ceptable way. It is singular fact, aud
pregnant with meaning, that this great
political organization found it's seed in
New England and the fair and laborious
west and north; that it grew up in op-
position to the aristocratic institution
of human slavery in the south, and that
its chosen and trusted leaders through
out its splendid history have been men
not priding themselves upon high birth
and historic blood, but representatives
of that strong, virile and aggressive
type Of humanity whose fathers and
mothers were not ashamed to labor with
their hands.
Of this type were Lincoln and Grant,
Charles Sumner and Horace Greedy,
Henry Wilson and Hannibal Hamlin.

The candidate for secretary of state is
Hon. Frederick P. Brown, of Blue
Earth City, Fairbault county. Like
the candidate for governor, he comes
from the old Viking stock of Norway,
and was born in that country in the year
1883. The family name Of the race was
originally "Brun," having been angi-
cised to "Brown" when settlement was
first made in America. The Bruins Of
Norway have been known for several
generations in the civil, military and
ecclesiastical history o. that country.
All readers of Nordsk literature will
readily recall the name of John Nord-
ahl Drum, one of the distinguished poets
of his race and country during the clos

brother died, and since that time he has
conducted the entire business himself.
Mr.. Clough is ono Of the most ener-
getic and public spirited citizens Of the
city and state. He is prominent in the
Masonic fraternity, trustee of the first
Congregational church, president of the
commission appointed to build the
court house and city hall, and director
in the Commercial bank. In addition
to his lumber business he owns the
home farm upon which he first labored
in Minnesota thirty-five years ago, at
Spencer Brook, and has added to it until
it now covers an entire section of land,
with splendid buildings and some of tho
most valuable stock in the state. He
served three years as member of the
city council, two of which he was the
president of that body. He served four
years in the state senate, his district
covering East Minneapolis, his present
residence, and Isant county, the home
of his boyhood. In every public posi-
ton he has filed he has brought the
same characteristics which have made
his business life successful and prosper
ous-energy, honesty, perfect reliability
and wide and far-seeing intelligence.
A few terms in his earliest boyhood
at such schools as the pioneer period
supplied on tho extreme frontier OF
Minnesota furnished the basis of Mr..
Clough's education. Yet who can say
that the training Sin life's hard school"
was not the very wisest and best that
could have been bestowed upon him for
the work he has since been called upon
to do.
He has always been Republican, and
during the past ten years active, labo-
rious and generous in the interests of
his party. Although he owes every
thing good that he possesses on earth to
hard work, he has never paraded as the
special friend of the laboring man. He
prefers to let those with whom he has
labored tell the story of his own early
struggles, his failures and his triumphs.
And yet the army of men who have
worked for him and worked with him
in Minnesota will say that no man of
their acquaintance ever lifted his share
moro cheerfully on a cant-hook than
he; and they will further say that NO
more generous or helpful employer is
to-day engaged in handling the indus
tries Of this great city.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1892-10-27

OF this stock sprung James G. Blaine,
of Maine, and Cushman K. Davis, of
Minnesota; and it is these men, spring.
ing from an ancestry that was proud
and glad to do the hard and laborious
work of the world, that have for full
generation moulded the destinies of the
sublimest republic known to the pages
of human history.
From this class sprang the subject of
this sketch, the Hon. David NJ. Clough,
Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor. Mr.. Clough was born at
Lynn, N. H., on the 9th day of De-
cember, 1916. When he was nine years
old, or in 1855, his parents moved to the
Northwest, locating at Waupun,
Wisconsin, for two years, and then max
ing further advance toward the setting
sun by coming to Minnesota. TIE
elder Clough settled upon homestead
on Spencer Brook in Isanti county, and
here his son David, with other men,
bers of his large family took their early
lessons in life by the hard manuel labor
of opening farm. The location of the
Clough homestead was on the line of
march from the falls of st. Anthony to
the lumber regions of the Rum River
Valley, and young David early learned
to welcome the sturdy woodmen as they
made the semi-annual tours to and from
the pine woods-in the autumn going in
with heavy wagons laden with their
''outfits," and returning again before
the advent of the robins or the meadow
larks, bringing ''the drive" down the
stream swollen banks - full by the
spring freshets.
There is no more fascinating labor
known in all the vast field Of human in
dustry than that Of numbering. Its dis
ciples live closer to nature in all her
varying moods than any other body of
workers in the human hive. Isolated
from the swarms of men and women
who find their employment in the towns
and cities, the sturdy axman has time
to think. 1t is life to cultivate strong
minds in sturdy, healthful bodies, and
to bring prominently forward every ele-
ment of energy possessed by the man
who adopts it as profession.
It is not singular. therefore, that
young Clough should have made lum-
bering his life business. When he was
sixteen years of age he commenced life
in the woods as tho chief engineer of an
OK team, and the winter that witnessed
his seventeenth birthday found him re-
ceiving mans wages on the drive.
From that time until he was 20 years Of
age he spent his summers working in
the Minneapolis saw mills, and his
winters in the woods. At the age of
20 he married, making his hone at
Spencer Brook. At "a he was in bust
ness for himself, cutting timber on con-
tract and delivering it at the Mime
apolis mills. At 26 he and his brother
moved to Minneapolis and commenced
the lumber business on their own &C
count under the firm name of Clough
Brothers. From that day to this the
firm has been one of the most prosper
GUS and reliable in its line known in
Minne( polls. Three years ago hia

Fergus Falls, and at once purchased
property there, erecting thereon tho
home to which the winter following he
moved his family. Here he has since
lived.
In 1886 his friend, Mr.. Clapp, was
elected attorney general of the state and
rendered Mr.. Childs tho position of
assistant. He accepted tho place, and
has remained connected with the Office
ever since. Since his association with
General Clapp he has devoted his entire
time to the duties Of the Office, and has
absolutely declined all retainers that
could in any manner prevent him from
giving all his talent and energy to the
service of the commonwealth, wherein
it's interests were involved.
During the past SIX years Mr.. Childs
has given practically his whole time to
the service of the state, and has assisted
the attorney general in every important
case in which the interests Of tho ss15sste
were involved. He was the leading
counsel in the Holden murder trial and
in that capacity presented the states
case to the United States supreme court.
the decision being in his favor.
He represented the state in the causes
celebre, growing out of the suspension
of Treasurer Peterson, of Hennepin
county, gaining complete victories all
along the line.
In the oil leases and also before the
commission al pointed to investigate the
wheat and elevator cases he was the
leading attorney in caring for the states
interests, and was abundantly success
full in both instances.
Mr.. Child's ability as a lawyer has
been thoroughly tested before all the
courts of the country, from the highest
to the lowest. Few lawyers have been
more uniformly successful. His nomin-
alton by his party to succeed General
Clapp was a deserved tribute to his
ability as lawyer, no less than to his
character as man. The history of his
past services to the state is sufficient
guaranteethat the interests of Minnesota
will not be allowed to suffer in his hands,
