the fact that off the stage his yet some

that 1t is very probable he will never

One afternoon last winter belated

Western roads landed the comedian and
his weary company in one of its smaller

the rule on this particular day. They

to behold this wonderful man, "who

disappointed. Instead they saw as
modest a company of players as ever
appeared in their midst for many a day.
Encouraging news reached the ears OF
those who silently uptown awaited
their arrival, but 1t was also counter
acted by the repor. that Joe OFT, the old

Mr.. Strouse Closes In New Castle and De-
parts for Another Field.

Evangelist c. B. Strouse closed his
meeting hero last Tuesday night and
started to his home in Salem on Wednes-
day morning. His preaching was char
ecterized by intense earnestness and at
tended with results unprecedented in
the history OF this town. The number
of conversions cannot be precisely as.
certained, but il is inferred from the
number of tickets handed out to those
who made professions, that there were
at least three hundred converts. II
asked what constituted the power OF
this young man for good, we fancy that
different people would give different an
swers. We prefer to let him give 1t, as
we think he did in some of his closing
sermons here, in which we unders TODD
him to say that it WAS demonstration
OF the power OF the Holy Spirit.
On some points OF doctrine, Mr. Strouse
teaches, as VIC understand him and as
we. are told by one who il familiar with
his views, that the individual Is saved,
not in sin, but from nin. He that Is born
OF God doth not commit sin, becauac
Jesus ia able to keep that which is com.
mitted unto him and does keep those
who watch and pray from entering into
temptation, and that through faith they
are sanctifed. He teaches that the con
verting power is from on high and tina,
this power is also q sanctifying power
On some minor points of doctrine
there are sincere Christians in nearly
every community who may not agree
with Mr.. Strouse, but all VIII accord
him full sincerity, earnestness, conse-
Grafton and great power for good. he
has been instrumental in the accom-
plishment of great work here and the
blessings Of our people follow him
The atrongholds Of vice in our midst
that have not been actually battered
down, have been rendered well-nigh
powerless for evil.
The Christian element Is united, or,
ganized, alert, and the good work prom
ises to go on. MIR. Hypes. who accom-
psnies Mr. Strouse, and conducts the
music, is likewise man OF esrnestness
and power and is o valuable CO. worker

TEACHEIss' CONCERT.
An Interesting Programme Rendered Sat

AN Interesting Programme Rendered Sat
urday Night at HolIIns Institute.
Contrary to her usual custoL- for con-
certs at Hollins, but in accordance with
her action for the last three months,
nature p eserved smiling countenance
for tho evening OF October 8, 1905. The
appointed hour found an expectant au-
dience to greet the mem bers OF the
musical faculty OF the scbool, while the
programme, presenting such comp osers
as Schumann, Grigg, Beethoven, Haydn,
Winiawski, Merkel and Verdi, promised
variety in styles OF com position as we'll
as merit OF music. This concert being
the first OF tho sessions series of musical
entertainments is always looked for
with interest by the pupils and furnishes
both inspiration to them in their studies
and models for their musical taste.
between the organ, piano, violin,
voice and elocution, there was also
sufficient change TO satisfy the opposers
OF the same instrument, while the happy
arrangement OF tho mum bers added ef-
fects from natural contrasts.
AS the majority OF the audience had
never been present at any Of these de
lightful concerts 1t WAS gratifying to
note evidences Of the fact that they
were appreciative OF truly good music.
The old members of the musical faculty
wore, as usual, enthusiastically re-
ceived. and delighted their hearers with
artistic work. Miss Weaver, the new
violin teacher, surprised everyone with
her magnificent technique. She Is an
artist in every respect, and throws an
energy into her work which cannot fail
to produce good results. Miss Jackson,
who succeeds Miss Hume as elccution
teacher, recited one Of Maupassant's
short stories with fine appreciation OF
the situations depicted. She Is q
talented and finished elocutionist, and
one who delightfully."- entertains an au.
dience with her natural, easy and grace
ful manner. Hollins may be congratu-
lated upon the possession of such
musical faculty as the present one.

The decision of the United States su-
preme court on the income tax law was
handed down Monday. The court holds
that two sections of the law-those i'm
posing taxes on incomes from rents of
real estate and from municipal bonds
are unconstitutional. The effect of the
decision is to deprive the government of
about half the expected revenue from
this source and to relieve from taxa
tion two classes of property which can
well afford to pay their share of the pub
lie burden. The Rochester On. Y. Dem
Ocrat puts the matter fairly when it
says:
The law stands except as to the parts
decided adversely. 1t is not, however,
rendered more equitable or just or tole-
rable by these elminations. For in
stance. the owners of great landed estates
like the Astors of New York will not be
taxed on their princely incomes derived
from rents, nor will aliens who own
lard in the United States. The planters
of the South are also exempt from tax
alton on earnings from their broad acres.
But manufacturers, who have hundreds
of thousands of dollars invested in active
enterprise, must hand over a share OF
their incomes to the government. as
also must bankers, merchants, business
men and the salaried and profession
classes who receive $1,000 year or up
wards.
