We have heard of the Eripin great many
OF the States OF tho Union this month but
this city has not suffered uuch from it, The
deaths put to its account have been worry few.
and in most cases is attacks have been mild.
It has come to the United States this year. as
It came In other years. within week or two
after we heard Of It in western Europe. We
had dispatches about it near the end OF No.
vember from England. Germany. and france.
and We know that it has been epidemic in
Russia. 1t is a disease that may brea,; out at
any season Of the year. Liitlc more is known
about its cause than about its cure.

The now General Master Workman OF the
Knights Of Labor bears tho purple namo Of
SOVEREIGN. and. saving his majestic place and

expect from a General Master Workman when
he mounts the ttinod This Mr.. SOVEREIGN
throws OF sparks like these:
"opulsncs Is fast bscominss monarch"
GO out in the highways and hedges and call the
weary wanderers to the sanctuary. AMI marshal the
host Of toll for nnaland triumphant struggle for ever
lasting freedom from the thraldom Of greed"
The contest Is between the dollars OF SHrtocE ami
the bone and sinew ot tht Industrial masses contest
between organized Ian monopoly and the natural
rights OF GODS homeless poor-5etween the federated
trusts and oppressed humanity"
These extracts are elegant. and show that
Mr.. SOVEREIGN is master Of tho buncombe OF
his business but we have him at hs best In this
summary and programme OF his enEagem ents :

MUSIC IN CHURCHES.
a Time When tho Use of Instrument
Was Unknown.

In the good old days when it was
considered sin to whistle or sing
Home Sweet Home" around the
hcarthstone on Sunday. q musical in
strument was an unknown quantity
in Pittsburg churches. says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. A fiddle or an
Organ in religious service would then
have created discord sufficient to
rend asunder most of our churches.
1t is within the memory of people
not very old when preacher OF this
city. who was disguised at the action
of his church in introducing the
bass viol, announced the opening
hymn as follows: Let us fiddle and
sing the hymn"
The Third Presbyterian and Trim
ity Episcopal churches were the first
in this city to lead OFF in the matter
of instrumental music. Tho first
pipe organ brought over the Allie
gheny mountains is still in use in old
Trinity church on Sixth avenue. The
Third Presby terrain church was for
long years content with the bass viol
as an accompaniment OF the praise

years ago thought the devil was in
the fiddle, and instrumental music in
the churches was terrible Inuova-
tion which might lead TO an eatire
overthrow OF the faith once delivered
to the saints. We think it strange
to-day that our ancestors were so
punctilious on the question OF instru-
mental music in the church service.

SAVED LINCoLN'S SON.


Presence OF Mind Enabled Booth,
the Actor. to Prevent Tragedy.
The following incident is given in the
Boston Transcript. and was related to
a gentleman by Mr.. Booth some time
ago:
In the summer of 1877 Mr. Booth was
standing on Il railroad platform wGit-
ing for Il train. He noticed Il gentle
man standing near him, apparently
with the same object, and saw that he
seemed eugrosscd in his own mciita-
lions. Presently the gentleman stepped
from the platform TO the track and be
gan walking upon it, entirely obliviuus
of his surroundings. Just ut this mo-
ment an engine which had been getting
water from n tank near ut hand be
gan backing mp the track. Mr. Booth
turning around, saw it only when it
WIS within - few feet of his absent
minded companion.
on the impulse of the moment. with
out attempting to arouse the man to
u sense of his dlnger-thcre was no
time for this-Air Booth stepped for
ward and. clutching him by his arm.
lifted him almost bodily upon the plat
form. So close was the engine thai it
struck the mans heels as they left the
track.
The rescued gentleman WAS so over
come when lie realized his danger that
he could only bow his thanks and give
his hand to his prcscrver. Ii happened
that Air Ford, in whose thcater Mt
Washington President Lincoln was as
sassinated by Mr.. Booths brother, wit
messed the scene described above.
Stepping forward, he said excitedly,
Mr.. Booth. do you know who that
man was?'
No" WIS the reply.
1T was" said Mr.. Ford, Robert
Lincoln-President Lincoln's SON"
Mr. Booth afterward said that this
act of his ga e him more satisfaction
than could be represented in any other
way. In relating this Mr.. Booth men
toned the fact that the only vote
which he ever cast was for Mr.. Lin
coin when he ran for president the
second time.

is, 1t is just as natural for some pnon,o
to blush on one occasion rs If is fo,.
others to turn pale on another. The

Monthly
Ordinarily the blood passes through
these vessels in normal volume, leaving
only the natural complexion. But whom
some sudden emotion takes possnssion
of the heart its action increases. and
an electric thrill Instantly leaps TO the
cheeks. The thrill is nothin. more tl,an
the rush of blood through The invisible
capillaries;the color is nothing more
than the blood just beneath the dclioutc
surface of the skin. The causes that
bring about this condition in the cir
culaUng system are called mental slim

and the many other emotions

On the 14th Senator Vest OF Missouri called
