A'GenernI TITLE.

In Lisbon, years ago, there was a
very popular boatman WHO served the
various men-of-war that visited the
port. He was a cheerful, obliging fell
low, and always at his post, onse-
quentiy he received a lion s share OF
the patronage Of the ships. His Por-
tuguese name, translated. or rather
spelled phonetically. was John Fish
balls; and ever since his time the value
of the name has been so well recog.
nized that every boatman on the quay
has appropriated 1t to his own use,
and on the appearance Of a passenger
the air Is filed with shouts of ME
John Fishballs!" Here you are, Fish
balls!" and a regular scrimmage en-
sues for the possession Of the fare.

A pleasant entertainment was given

teurs of TIL school, a ssisted by
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Firth
Wood. The talented couple appeared in
anumber of selections of which the most
popular appeared to be 1.-THE reed of the
Bells. Mrs. Wood brough.l down the
house with her "Baby's Soliloquy." and
several other bits of bright verses. She
was less uccessful in her long and some
what tragic selection, which was ILL
suited to her abilities. Mr.. Woods mo ST
popular number was How Ruby
Played.n
The most artistic numbers of the even
ing were The \ ano solos of Miss Harvey.
This talented little lady, whose height Is
scarcely enough 10 ,Iet her be seen behind
the piano lid, has proved her title to be
known as a N uslcian of thoughtful and
original attendeDcies, with the capacity to
become a rarely good pianist. Miss Reid
played two violin solos, securing much
applause. and Miss Watson sang two

GOSPEL TN PROSPECT
We May Have a Tent For
That Purpose Soon, With
Evangelist Hill,
ST. MARKS NEW CURATE.
Notes From the Field-Many Mu-
steal Services For Tomorrow
Evening.

The season that is won't to be devoted
to revivals of religion in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. that is, the first two
months of the year. has passed, but I'M
denomin ational REVEALS are always in
season and never s~uperhuous. Rsmem-
barring the series of religious meetings
held by Eyangelists Fay Mills
and Chapman in this city some
years ago. creating such a pro-
found impression that their effects have
not yet ceased to be felt, the coming OF
another evangelist, however different his
methods may be in detail, is an event to
be welcomed in religious circles.
Many of the clergymen of the city have
received circulars calling their emit
to Evangelist Hill, who has a prospect OF
esta Dlishing O Gospel tent here In the
neal future.
HOW IT is DONE.
There are many revivaiists OF this class
on the road, whose methods Gre essen
italy the same. The Evangelist owns a
large tent, like those used for circus per-
formancss, aud taxes it wherever he can
be assured first this there is a de-
mand first for evangelization, and second.
whether he can pay expenses. Prior TO
his coming. the clergvmen OF the vicinity
and those Interested in such movements
are consulted as to locality and such de-
tails. When the revivaiist has arrived,
the lent is opened every evening and
several times on Sunday, when, by I'M
passiohed addresses, personal appeals.
and especially b testimony of men who
have been rescued from evil courses or
life. the attention OF the people Is at
tracted.
The music is of a character similar to
that of the Salvation Army, whose
methods in fact. are largely employed In
the work. Evangelist Hill, while persons
ally unknown TO the greater numbs OF
church-workeis here, comes highly rec
commended from others. who describe
him as a powerful orator, a persuasive
exhorter, gifted with the power to at
tract large audiences and hold their at
tion.
NO DENOMINATIONS HERE.
The clsrgymen of The city have mol as
ret entered upon the scheme with any
great degree of enthusiasm, for as one
remarked in conversation with the
writer, 'I hesitate to give my unqualified
appreciation until l have had personal
acquaintance with the manner ana pur-
pose of The enterprise" The Gospel
tent is purely undenominationai. IL dis
tributes pledges and cards with appiica-
,ions for membership in any church the
applicant may prefer.
