Special Musical Services at Gace
Episcopal Church Last Night.
"fHE CHINESE IN AMERICA"
William Lloyd Garrison Pseaehes nj
Hell street Chapel on the Condition
Of Chinese Emigrants-other Pastors
and what They Did.

A musical and devotional service was
held at Grace church last evening. Mu-
sical selections were rendered blythe choir
and a discourse on church music was
given by Bishop Clark. He said:
Praise Is an expression OF gratitude
and yeneration. All emotions have their
own peculiar languages. Praise is the or
dinary articulation OF speech. We can re-
solve music into science, but we cannot
detect the secret OF its wonderful power.
Every sound in nature has a distinctive
music of its own.
Were all the senses acute we might de-
tect great deal of music that is now lost
to us. 1t is beautiful thought that there
Is music in the stars themselves. There
are thousands of varieties OF music in ma
ture.
You may ask what is the use OF music
You might as well ask what is the use OF
beauty in its thousands OF forms. 1t is
part OF our religion to admire beauty, and
the religion that fails TO teach this ele-
ment is lacking in an essential principle.
Beauty cannot be despised without cast
ing contempt upon its author who Is the
author OF our being.

OF David and Solomon. The familiar
music OF the Hebrew service was gradu-
ally introduced into the Christian church.
The Grecian chant was introduced I'm the
year $50. Today the prejudice against
the organ has almost entirely disap-
peared. Once it was universally con-
demned. The picture of an organ may be
seen on one of the ancient monuments in
Rome. The organ has especial qualities
that make IL essentially an instrument
for religious worship. Its great compass,
its power, its variety OF tone, its sweet
ness all combine to adapt 1t to the needs
of the church.
The music OF church should be intelli-
eible. BY that is meant it should not be
composed of such a mixture OF words and
tones as to confuse the understanding. j
favor both choir and congregational sing
ing.
The Importance Of music as a factor In
church work should not be under esti-
mated. It's effect upon religious natures
- incalculable. 1t teaches and illustrates
religious precepts. Our own music is yet
An its infancy. When the time comes 1t

At the conclusion of the sermon the
choir rendered Dudley Bucks Forty-sixth
Psalm.

Cedar Rapids withou Protection Because
of Dispute with the Courts.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec 4-This city
is without police or fire protection, and
the electric light, gas and water ordi-
nances have been voided and the great
est excitement prevails Late last even
ing the mayor, assessor and the city
council were served with a temporary
injunction, issued by Judge Giffen,
of the district court, restraining them
from collecting any taxes upon real
or personal property based upon the
cash value basis. Mayor Daniels at
once prepared a proclamation, which
was read at the regular meeting of the
city council and passed by strict party
vote, the democrats holding the posi-
ton of the mayor. The proposition
provides that so long as the injunction
is in force the city and its proper Off
GERS are restrained and prevented from
taking any steps to provide re-
value or to procure funds for
the expenses of the government
of the city; that until the
proper officials and the city council are
permitted to perform their duty in ac-
cordance with the law, and make as
sessment of property and levy for taxes
of 1893, so that the Indebtedness of the
city may thereby be brought within
the legal limit, no warrants drawn up
on the city treasury, and no payments
of any kind will be approved by the
mayor; that all employees of the city
and other persons interested be sus-
pended, and there can be no police pro-
lection, and no water or light service
at public service.

The Civil Service.

The continued intelligent execution of the civil

people OF its operation are most qualifying The
recent extension of its limitations and regula-
tions to the employes at free delivery post

accomp ishej by the commssio1, with the

Than ever convinced Of the incalculabls benefits
conferred by the civil service law, not only in
its eff, CT uron the public service but also what
Is even more important in ils effect in elevating
the tone OF political life generally.
The law embodyiug civil service reform
found its wav to our statute book more from
fear OF the popular sentiment existing in its IA

the part OF legislators. and 1t has lived and
grown and fourished In spite Of the

1t seems to me TO be entirely inconsistent
with the character of this reform well
" ith its best enforcement, TO oblige the COM
mission TO rely for clerical assistance upon
clerks detailed fro q othe depar r;ments.
There ought not to be such a condition in any
department that clerks hired 10 do work there
can be spared to habitually work ut another
place, and IL does not accord with a sensible
view Of civil serve reform that persons should
be employed on the theory that their labor is
necessary in one department when In point OF

OF immense Importance in its intimate and
necessary relation to the task now in hand Of

Killed While Hunting.

JEFFERsOSvILLE, Ind, Nov. 60
Harry Berry. 10. residing at Sellers
burg, a village twelve miles north of
this city, died yesterday afternoon from
a gunshot wound. A party went out
hunting for squirrels, and he espied one
in tree. Instead of firing at the game
from the ground he attempted to climb
the tree. No sooner had the boy
reached half way up than his gun was
discharged, the contents of both bar
reis taking effect in his abdomen.
Berry lay on the ground several hours
before he was found and taken to his
home.
