One fair brow the grave has pressed.

Through the heavenly courts above,

With glad spirits, hymns of love.

But he turns and waves his hand,
Pointing to the glOries DER us
In that happy spirit land.

TWO STORIES.
Neither of Them Verified Told
Of the Fate of Aquidabal.

copyrighted 1891 by The associated Press.
BUENos ANREs, April 19.-The stories
which reached here from the Desterro
Island of Santa Catharina in regard TO
the sinking OF the rebel warship Aquida-
ban are conflicting.
One report says that finding the vessel
abandoned, number OF government sail
ors manned her, and had not been long on
board when n Government torpedo boat
arrived from the north and believing
that the Aquidab ban was still in the hands
OF the insurgents sank her with torpedoes.
Another version of the story has IL that
the Aquida ban and two insurgent steam
ers were off Desterro when the squadron OF
President Peixoto appeared and SUM
moned the insurgents TO surrender.
A fierce engagement is said TO
have followed and the torpedo
boat Gustavo Sampaio finally discharged
three torpedoes which sank the AQuida-
ban. Many lives are reported 10 have
peen lost during the engagement.
A dispatch received here from Rio de
Janeiro says that n squadron has left that
port iii search of the insurgents and
that it will proceed here.

BACK AGAIN.
Farnham Post 10 be Rein
stated by N. Y. Department.


ALBANY, April 19.--The State G.. A. r.
department, through its council of adj
ministration, has practically decided to re-
instate Farnham Post IG. a. r., of New
York City, which was expelled from the
order last winter, all being necessary TO
effect the Reinstatement being the sane
tion of the determination of the State
Council by the national G.. A. II. depart
ment council of administration.
This post was expelled last winter for
passing resolutions on the pension ques-
tion, ,condemning the position taken by the
National q. A. II. Encampment ana err
cuatlng the resolution through the
United States.
A rule adopted by the National
Encampment OF 1881 forbids any
q. A. II. post from circu-
lating any resolutions among the other
posts of the order when the resolutions
relate TO the pension question except by
the consent of the national department.
Farnham Post after circulating the reso-
lutions refused 10 retract and openly in
vited expulsion.
The expulsion was ordered by the State
department and sanctioned by the ma
tional department. The post was one OF
the best of the State and the re- instate-
ment which will pro baby be agreed to by
the national department will cause much
rejoicing throughout the State.

ghen the audience appiauds, those wild
Indian chaps just let themselves loose and
make the gallery gods turn green with
envy.
There's heap about the Kirmess that
everybody DOESN'T get chance TO see.
THE NEWS described some of these be-
hind -the-scene features the other day.
Behind the scenes Is as much fun as in
front, though with every performance it
becomes less picturesque as the big COM
pany is getting settled into the routine of
stage life and are taking things with a
professional philosophy.
making up" has become an art TO many
of them. At the first performances the
young artists were content TO be painted
anyhow. Now they have become particular
about how the rouge and charcoal are
plastered on. The amateur painters who
had charge OF the little boys IN the after
noon dances yesterday had their
hands full. The youngsters objected
TO having their lips rouged be-
cause they wanted 90 eat candy. The
little girls accepted the decoration
complacently and permitted their little
faces TO be plastered until they were too
much stifiened TO permit them TO smile.
This Kirmess has been prodigious
piece of work and the Day Nursery is for
tunate in having such devoted hackers as
the ladies and gentlemen who have under
taken the tremendous enterprise. il has
cost lot of money, or rather IL has called
for big investmeut,to say nothing OF the
cost to the individual dancers who fur
nish their own costumes and pay little
something besides for the privilege OF
participating and the advantages of the
valuable drilling which they have en-
joyed.
To begin with Miss Eager, the director,
comes high and she is worth more than
she asks-which is $1,000 with sundry ex-
penses and maid. A thousand dollars
sounds like a good deal for three weeks
work, but the "know how" which is
confined exclusively TO Miss Eager,
IL worth heap. And il is said that
when Miss Eager got up the Kir-
mess in Woonsoclset, the projec-
tors hesitated about the price and
offered instead one-third the receipts.
Miss Eager gave them fair warning that a
thousand dollars would be cheaper, the
truth of which was subsequently verified,
for her share is said TO have approXimated
$500.
Miss Eager comes from New York and
she makes a profession OF getting up
Kirmesses. It's evidently a profitable
profession for her and for those she gets
them up for.
The Providence Opera House, which Is
hired and controlled by the Kirmess, costs
money, too. It's big, well equipped

LAW ILLEGAL.
TilIman Dispensary Law Pro-
nounced Unconstitutional.
Bn The Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 19.-The Till
man State dispensary liquor law
has just been declared unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court OF South Carolina, two
justices concurring and one (the Tillman)
member of the Supreme Bench dissenting
from the opinion.
The decision was rendered by Chief JUS
tice MeIver, Justice McGown asserting,
Justice Pope, the Tillman justice, dissent
ing. The State will probably be painted
red today.
The decision was rendered in compos-
lite case composed OF a case originating in
Darlington, testing the constitutionality
of the dispensary law and appealed TO
the Supreme Court by the State author
tiles, and of several minor cases
likewise appealed by the State. The
ground on which the law is declared
unconstitutional is that is creates mon
opoly for the State. Justice Hope filed a
dissenting opinion affirming the constitu-
tionaiity OF the law.

The voting for the favorite dances goes
on apace, and without exciting any but a
pleasant rivalry among the different dane
ing companies. TO the spectator of one
performance each succeeding dance seems
more charming than its predecessor, and
the children's dances in the afternoon
seem TO appeal more strongly than all the
rest. The unconscious abandon of the
very little people is simply irresistible.
The dances vary so, however, that each
appeals TO an entirely different clientage,
to different moods and minds. The
music, too, has its influence. The
music is marvellous feature of the
production. 1t is wonderful music and
might have been built for just such an en-
tainment as a Kirmess. or course much
of il has the flavor of the nation it repre-
sents, as the Swedish Wedding March, the
dance representing Sweden being called a
wedding dance. 1t is an impos ing variety to
make a choice from. Take that Gondoliers
dance, for instance-the Venetian. The
men and maids make one of the most
charming pictures that is presented q They
sing and the castanets chink chank n
fascinating oblignto. From that to the
brilliant spectacular uproarious Indian
