Cables a oney Order for $iOO,OOO to His Eloping Wife and Her Lover-Boston's ys;a Goc;,l Ccnsmtffp


 Big Social Sensation.
 Boston, Dec. 5.-Francis L. Higgin- son, the banker, sent to his wife, at Genoa, Italy, cable money order for $1oo, ,o00 He accompanied this extraor- dinary gift with the words, Poor things, they'll starve if I don't send them some money
 The poor things" to whom he refer red are his clipping wife and her lover, James Wheatland Smith, a wealthy young Boston society man.
 The Higginson family is one of the first in all New England. MT. Higgin- son retired three years ago from the banking firm of Lee, Higginson & Co. with very large fortune.
 His wife is much younger than he and has been necessarily active in so- ciety. It has been known to all her friends that her marriage was unhappy and that her four children, the oldest about to enter society, received little personal attention from her, but no one dreamed that she would ever sacri- fee her husband, fortune and her high place in society by boldly deserting all. three.
 She went to the horse show in New York on November IS, and spent a week gayly at the Waldorf and with relatives among New York's fashiona- ble set. Her constant companion was James Wheatland Smith, who is the great-grandson of a governor of Mas sachusetts and a descendant of long line of Puritan ancestors. He has an independent fortune and while at Har- yard college, from which he graduated only a few years ago, was suspended for social scandal.
 Mrs. Higginson did not return to her home after the horse show, nor did Mir Smith return to his family place at Salem. Their absence was conceal ed for many days and Miss Higginson, the eighteen-year-o daughter, retired to the country to conceal her mother flight It transpired that Mrs. Higgir- son and MT Smith had sailed from New York to Italy.
 At the time of her marriage to MT Higginson, he settled upon her the irl- come of $100,000 Young Smiths income supports him. His law practice is practically nothing.

prove that the composer has fully re- tained that energy and earnestness at the termination of his work with which in 1867 he commenced it, The broad and striking subject in unison commenc- ing the first chorus, which is after wards repeated by the full choir, is 1n- tended, as the composer tells us, to recall the form and rhythm of the chants called "Proses" in the Catholic tLiturgy, The following quartet and chorus is extremely happy, not only in the music. but in its applicability to the words. The "Beatitudes," given to a semi-chorus, is a charming piece of placid harmony, and the final chorus, in which & fugal passage appears for the first time, closes the oratorio most effectively and with due solemnity.

the orchestra. Afterwards the choirs are united, and the chorus concludes with the Redemption theme upon a
 tonic pedal, played by the whole CT chsstra and supported by the organ.
 The Pentecost begins with a me1o- dious choral, commenced by the sopranos and answered by the altos, the effect of the theme being heightened by a syncopated accompaniment This is succeeded by lovely soprano solo, most happily expressive of the peaceful character of the text,-the opening theme being afterwards repeated by the full choir in octayes and a brief coda. A tenor narration precedes an instru- mental movement representing the Apostles in prayer, the principal phrase of which, on tonic pedal, is extremely happy, and harmonized with the we'll known skill of the composer. The de- scent of the Holy Ghost is related by the narrators, with varied figures in the orchestration, the scene conclud- ing with a brief soprano solo-"A Voice from Heaven, with an appro- priate harp accompaniment The Hymn of the Apostles" which ends the oratorio, has seven distinct num- bers,-the first where the Apostles pro- claim the three great doctrines of the Incarnation of the Word; the second a quartet and chorus,-''By Faith Salva- ton Comes; the third chorus,-''Hls Is Power Manifested By Miracles; the fourth a quartet,-"Oh. Come to Me-; the fifth a semi-chorus,-the "'Beati- tudes'; the sixth a repetition of the theme of No. l, with choir, orchestra, and great organ; and the seventh a final coda. All these divisions have a specially distinctive character. and

The Centralia Assessments.

In the matter of the application for
a re assessment of the Centralia bor-
ough, which is now up for considera-
ton before the Columbia county
courts, a new argument has developed.
No ward assessors were elected, but
simply registry assessors for each
ward. David Walsh was elected bor-
ough assessor, which Office was legis-
lated out of Office by dividing the bor-
ough into wards. AS the matter now
stands Cen,ralia has no legal assessor,
although Mr.. Walsh is going ahead
with the assessment. The matter was
continued until April 24th. If Mr..
Walsh makes the assessment 1t will be
illegal, and he will be entitled to nc
pay therefor "A ShIand AdcOcate.

To the People of Bloomsbury.

BLOOMSBURY, April 22, 1905.
At a meeting of the Sanitary Com
mittee (appointed by the President of
Town Council for 1859 it was decided
to call the attention OF property hold
ers, tenants and others to Section s of
Town Ordinance No. SO which reads
thus. : "When the Sanitary Com
mittee shall deem any privy, cess pool
or house drain located on any property
fronting on any street on which a
public sewer shall be opened for use,
to be nuisance or danger to the
inhabitants of the house, or others,
and if in their judgment the said
nuisance cannot otherwise be, abated,
the said committee shall direct the
superintendent of sewers to cause
written notice to be given owners or
tenants, forbidding the further use of
the same and requiring the house to
be drained by public sewer"
There are other sections of ordin-
ances which gives us power to investl-
gate premises and make reports. That
good health may be preserved in our
Town, we invite and insist that all
persons clean up cellars, out houses,
stables, pig pens, chicken yards, &C.

There isn't any other thing so essential

let the bowels become clogged with
refuse matter, and the whole system is
deranged. Impure, poisonous matter
gets into the blood and plants the seeds
for all sorts of sickness.
