A New Preside.
Committee.

S. W. Martin came in from Canon
City, Col, Sunday morning, his er-
rand here being one Of more than ordi-
nary Importance, as he took with him
on his return, Wednesday ,one of Great
Bends fair young daughters, Miss May
Dawson, to be known in future as Mrs.
S. w. Martin. On general principles
we object to having our young ladies
taken from US, but will submit as
graclously as we know how, since we
know how much happiness is In store
for two true, loving hearts when we'll
mated. We trust that their love for
each other will strengthen and broaden
with the passing of years, then can
they smile at financial success, or defy
failures to mar their happiness. We
could wish them no better fortune.
Miss May is the second daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. /. Dawson and has
grown from infancy to won anhood in
our midst, and our readers all know
her lovable qualities. She attended
the Central Normal college several
years, taking a special course, and is an
elocutionist of no small merit, having
received numerous medals and prizes,
and will be sadly missed in elocution-
airy circles.
MI. Martin was former student of
the Central Normal college, and was
principal of the Brookside schools last
year. and has, been elected to the same
position for the coming year. He has
bright future before him.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed at the home of the BRIDES par
ents in College addition, in the pres
ence of relatives and a few invited
guests, by the Rev. a. NJ. Barrett, of
the Presbyterian church of this city.
The young couple left for their home
in Canon City on the 1880 train, fol-
lowed by the best wishes of large
circle of acquaintance. They will be
at home to their friends after June s..
Like all we'll regulated families, they
will keep posted on the happenings of
Great Bend and vicinity, through the
DEMOCRATS weekly visits.

Paderewski Thinks Performers should
Look Effective While Playing.

Padcrewski Thinks Performers should
Look Effective While Playing.
When Paderewski was in New York.
he was calling at a prominent Wall street
mans home in Fifth avenue when the
broker told him he would like to have
his opinion Of his daughters playing
The great pianist courteously replied
that nothing would give him greater
pleasure.
After the young lady had dashed off
several selections Paderewsh said:
ITO get the greatest enjoyment from
the piano the music must not only
be heard, but the performer should be
seen. The performer should therefore be
careful of his or her position at the in
strument.
81 will be frank with you and say
that preferred to see rather than hear
your daughter play. might better say
that / looked more than listened She
held herself correctly. There is nothing
hate more than hstless, careless pos
ture of the body while playing.
"Then there was life in her touch.
Her fingers fairly sparkled as they ran
over the board and touched the keys,
rebounding from them with snap that
was exhilarating to behold. Her manner
of using her hands and her elbowing, if
/ may so call it, showed proper training
also.
81 will therefore add that my sense of
hearing would have been equally de-
lighted doubtless if my sense of sight
had not been so completely monopolized.
compliment the young lady on her &c
complishment. ("
''There is wisdom in that, 7" said the
broker in repeating the conversation.
Teachers of the piano should give far
more attention to this matter than they
now do New York Advertiser.

THE UNSEEN WORLD.


Hades ne IL Is Pictured In the Books OF
the APocrypha-
The book of Daniel. dating from the
Maccabcan age, is perhaps the earliest
work in which any clear moral differen-
tiation as regards the unseen world is
manifest MANY of them that sleep in
the dust Of the earth shall awake, some
TO everlasting life. and some to shame
and everlasting contempt. And they
that be wise shall shine as the bright
ness Of the armament, and they that
turn many TO righteousness as the stars
forever and ever To find a more de-
tailed account of hades we must turn TO
the books of the Apocrypha, written in
cisely Hellenic, but Hellenistic.
In particular the book of Enoch,
which deals largely in eschatology and
the secrets of the universe, speaks in
some detail Of the future Of righteous
and wicked: "All goodness and joy and
glory are prepared for them and are
written down for the spirits of those
who have died in righteousness, and
manifold good viii be given to you in
recompense for your labors. and your
Lot is abundantly beyond the lot of the
living" And in contrast: Know We
that their souls (the sinners) win be
made to descend into sheol, and they
viii become wretched, and great will
be their tribulation, and into darkness
and q net and q burning fire, where
there Is grievous condemnation, will
Your spirits enter. and there viii be
grievous condemnation for the genera
tions of the world"
In tho fourth book of Esdras it is
said of the enemies Of God that "they
shall decay in confusion, and be con-
sumed with shame. and wither in fear,
when they see tho glory of the Most
High. in whose sight they sin while
they are alive. Much influence ON later
Jewish thought was exercised by we'll
known passage of the later Isaiah
"They shall go forth, and look upon the
carcases of the men that have trans
crossed against me, for their worm
shall not die, neither shall their fire be
Quenched. and they shall be an abhor-
ring unto all flesh. " These words IN
their primary meaning refer TO the ma
terial bodies of the dead, but in the Hell
lenistic age they We're used of the future
world of spirits. And the picture of
which the outline was thus sketched
was by degrees filed in from -Bibli-
cal sources But this filling in went on
but slowly and was not far advanced

The public is becoming quite know
ing in many branches of electric l1nowl-
edge, and in none more than in the de-
termination, with greater or less accu-
racy, of the efficiency of the electric light
At one time a central station had no
great difficulty in foisting upon its GUS
toners as q g candle power light that
the ordinary gas jet would be an inn
provement upon. Now, however, people
are more critical, and they have very
shrewd idea as to whether they are get
ting as much light as they are paying
for. If they have any doubt on the sub
ject, it can be easily set at rest.
The latest method of measuring illu-
mination is based upon the principle
that the illumination, falling, say, on a
printed page, must have definite value
in order to render the printed characters
Just legible, and that the intensity of IL
Illumination so required will, for nor
NAL eye, depend upon the size and char
acter of the print. A small printed tab
let is placed in darkened box and ex-
posed to illumination from a translucent
plate Of glass or porcelain, which re-
ceives directly on its surface the light
whose intensity is to be measured. The
area of the translucent plate is then
varied until the amount of light received
by the test characters just renders them
visible. A scale is provided by reference
to which the exact degree of candle pow
er of the illumination is determined. -
