The music WAS certainly Of unusual ex-
cellenee at st. Paul's church. Every men,
Der of the oheir was present at both the
morning services. The selections were ex-
clusively from the great composers, and
was most perfectly rendered. The prompt
ness and security in the attack showed the
careful drilling the choir had had. Mrs.
Nora Russell-Haesche soprano and Mr.. Ed
win A. Smith baritone rendered the solos
allotted to them in q manner beyond criti-
cism. The chaneel was beautifully deco
rated with Gala lilies.
AT CENTER CHURCH.
At Center church Rev. DR.. Smythe
preached an impressive sermon from the
text, Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death; because it was
not possible that he should be holden of
it." Acts Ii: a. One of the principal
themes of his discourse was the unhealthy
Of death. He told how impossible 1t was
for the spiritual and Intellectual part Of
the being to be destroyed.
The pulpit was prettiIy decorated with
Easter lilies, and the music was excellent.

MILLIONAIRE BULL FIGHTER.
The King of the Profession and Idol of
Madrid Retires From the Ring.
From nc PhlladeIphia Pres!

From the Philadelphia Press.
Madrid, June 1.-Lagartiio, the king of
bull-fghters and the idol Of the Madrid
populace, made his last public appearance
to-day The performance was for his
benefit, and besides the fee of SO, 600 francs
he received the gate receipts, which were
approximately 1901 600. More than IA 900
persons were present.
Lagartijo was greeted with demonstra-
tions of mad enthusiasm, which were re
peated at the death of each bull All the
bulls were from the herds of the Duke de
Veragua, who breeds the fiercest fighters
in Spain. After LagartiiO had killed six
of them he retired amid the widest
cheering. Lagartiio will pass the rest of
his life on his estate at Cordova. Despite
his expensive habits and proverbial gen
erosity, he is a millionaire He made all
his money in bull-fghting.
Toward the close Of the fight the au-
dience yelled so loudly as to confuse La
gartiio's assistants and disturb his calcu-
lations. The matador, evidently fearing
that his last appearance might be married
by a mishap, turned toward the audience,
scowled and motioned for silence. AS he
turned back he slipped and fell. The bull
charged and for a moment stood over his
PROSTATE body. The matador's assistants
distracted the bull. however, by united
attack, and he made his escape.

Nothing Of original or superior merit but

imperiling the health Of communities. For
this reason the proprietors Of HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters caution their patrons to
serutinize every bottle offered (and it is sold

A sutncient warning to those meditating
fraud can be found in the unbroken line Of
judicial decisions exposing and severely pun
ishing every one detected in counterfeiting

being made to protect the public from the de-
ceptiou Of these unprincipled pirates.
Remember the Bitters is sold in bottles

A Touching stnge EpIsode.


A very touching incident happened in
Boston last September during the engage
ment Of the great actress, Miss Agnes Hern-
don, in that city. At the close Of the matinee
performance a rather poorly-clad woman ap-
piled at the stage door and timidly asked
permission to see Miss Herndon. The door
keeper, always on the alert for intruders and
inquisitive callers, refused her request, but
on her persisting to be granted an audience
with the actress finally consented to allow
her to enter. On being conducted to and
brought face to face to Miss HerndOn the
pale-faced little woman burst into a flood of
tears, exclaiming between her sobs: God
bless you, lady, and take the heartfelt
prayers of mother for the lesson you have
shown me to-day. l had a daughter once"
and the aged mother nearly broke down with
sobs, "who had she seen La Belle Marie as
you have shown her to-day, would be at home
now, instead Of being a wanderer-God only
knows where. I did not wont to 90 home
until l had thanked you from the bottom OF
my heart for the good words and the moral
your play teaches" And the old lady,
kissing Miss Herndon, silently withdrew and
went to her probably lonely and childless
home. The story of La Belle Marie" viii
go direct to any mothers heart.
