Musical Notes.

In conjunction with the tabernacle choir
Prof. and Madame de Loery gave very
fine concert at the Provo tabernacle on
Thursday night. The Provo people praise
Madame de Loery highly for her per-
formance, and of Prof. de Loery, one OF
the Provo papers says: He sang The
Tempest of the Heart from the opera
II Trovatore,' in French, in most charm
ing style. The professors voice is of the
operatic type, and shows more magnet
ism and brilliancy than volume. He sang

The profes: or proved in this song that he
has wide range and has his voice under

welcome to make his home among them.
They never prosecuted mem for witch
craft or anything else. They had their
origin in the Separatists or Independ-
ents in England, who differed from the
Puritans in maintaining that the very
existence of a. national church was
contrary to the word of God. After
much persecution and several in
effectual attempts to leave England
shelter at Amsterdam. BUD they were
still Englishmen and hated the thought
of having their children even learn the
Dutch language, much less ir1ternarry
and amalgamate the races as they were
sure to do; so, when opportunity offered,
about five hundred embarked in the
Mayf1ower and Speedwell. but the
latter vessel proving unseaworthy and
many of the people becoming dis

to them because of their wanderings
from England to Holland and thence to
America.
The Puritans came to this country to
establish a state church. They were as
rigid and uncompromising in their way
as was the church of England. Their
first act of intolerance was the sending
back to England of Samuel Brown and
his brother for not strictly conforming
to their ideas. The prosecutions for
witchcraft were confined solelyl to the
Puritans.
Mrs Leoline w. Brown followed with
talk on Witchcraft. This system of
witchcraft was formulated under the
Church Of Rome in the thirteenth CEN
fury. It is a travesty on Christianity
with the prince of darkness at the
head, and under him all sorts of evil
spirits, witches and hobgob.ins. Ac-
cused persons were prosecuted and
burned as witches or hereticS-without
distinction.
For three centuries men and women
were burned by thousands, and not--a
word of opposition was uttered. To
speak in behalf of a prosecuted man
was but to condemn ones self. But at
last DR.. Wierus, in Holland, published
a pamphlet pleading for witches.
Reginald Scot, in England, followed mis-
example.
The persecution Of witches was up
held and practiced by Protestants as
we'll as Catholics, and the Puritans
brought the practice with them to this
country.
But witches, although acknowledged,
were practically unnoticed until the
revival instituted by Cotton Mather.
The first case brought to trial was upon
the accusation of girl of thirteen,
daughter of John Goodwin. In 1852 pc-
Cured the first case in Salem.
Accused persons who confessed them
selves to be witches were pardoned
those who denied adj charges and repu.
dated all belief in witchcraft were con-
demned and executed. In Massachu-
sets and Connecticut thirty persons
were put to death. These were mostly
women, but among the few men was

The Locomotive Whistle.

When the locomotives we're first built
and began TO trundle their small loads
up and down the newly and rudely con-
slructed railways Of England the country
roads were for the most part crossed at
grade and the engine driver had no way
of giving warning Of his approach except
by blowing a tin horn. This horn, as
may be imagined, was far from being a
sufficient warning. One day in the year
1903 farmer of Thornton was crossing
the railway tracks on one Of the country
roads with a great load of eggs and but
ter Just as he came out upon the track
a train appr ached. The engine man
blew his tin horn Justify, but the farmer
did not hear it. Eighty dozen eggs and
fifty pounds of butter we're smashed into
an indistinguishable, unpleasant mass
and mingled with the kindling wood to
which the wagon was reduced. The rail
way company had to pay the farmer the
value of his fifty pounds of butter, bis $50
eggs, his horse and his wagon.
1t was regarded as very serious mat
ter, and straightway director OF the
company, Ashlen Bagster by name, went
10 Alton Grange, where George Stephen
son lived, to see # he could not invent
something that would give a warning
more likely TO be heard. Stephenson
went to w.rk and the next day had a
contrivance which, when attached to the
engine boiler, and the steam turned on,
gave out a shriIl discordant sound. The
railway directors. greatly delighted, or
dered similar contrivances attached to
all the locomotives, and from that day
to this the voice Of the locomotive whis-
tie has never been SILENT Cardiff Mail.

Was there? Gracious, trust this is
not the bridegroom
Oh, no. The bridegroom and the bride
have left for parts unknown. This gen.
tleman was the best man.
He seems somewhat broken up. Is he
young man of Incorporate habits? ?
No; his habits are not bad. He is
simply victim of matrimony.
daresay he had aspired himself to the
lady's hand and has been drowning out
his disappointment?
No. That is not it either. There
were one or two ex.aspirers among the
ushers, but the best man was simply
faithful friend of the groom.
His fidelity seems to have brought him
in for some onerous obligations.
1t is true. His responsibilities and
the anxieties of his position have aged
him somewhat.
Is it indeed SO serious job to be a
best man ?
Indeed it is.
Why, what is there to do?
For "a hours before the wedding the
best man is the responsible owner of the
groom. He tacitly undertakes to pro-
duce the groom at he church, clean sha-
ven, suitably attired and in his right
mind, or else to take his place. IF the
groom shows symptoms of running away,
he must shackle him. Some best men
invariably handcuf' themselves to their
grooms on the morning of the day before
the wedding as a reasonable precaution
against accidents, for when best mans
confidence has been abuseed once or twice
it makes him cautious.
At the convivial exercises of the day
before the wedding several score of the
groom's more intimate friends always in
sist on taking drinks with him. The Gu
mulative effect of so much sympathetic
stimulant is liable to make trouble, so the
best man does not permit the groom TO
overindulge his feelings. The usual way
is for the best man to act as the groom's
proxy in this matter, so that the night
before the wedding is full of trouble for
him. Nevertheless he must be up early
the next morning, must see that the
bridesmaids have all received their bou-
quets, that he has the minister's money
in the right pocket, that he has a we'd
ding ring in each of his pockets, that the
carriage orders are understood, that the
groom has made adequate provision for
his wedding Journey and that the ushers
are presentable and can walk.
All this he must do without letting the
groom leave his sight. When the we'd
ding is over and he has consigned his
charge to the care of the bride. he takes
the groom's place as host and sees in par
ticular that the groom's friends from out
of town are suitably entertained aud
shipped home at convenient intervals on
their proper trains. OnIy when the last
of them is gone can he call his man and
go home to bed.
Is a man ever best man more than
once?
Some very popular men have been best
man as often as dozen times, but usual
ly one or two experiences are enough to
convince the experimenter that malrimo-
ny itself is a less trying ordeal.-LJe.
