and the Accomplishments were open to
criticism.
The aria and intermezzo composed by
Miss Ellen Norton went better than the
evening before, and Mrs. J. Bond Fran
cisco and Mrs. Minnie Hsnce- Owens re.
peated their successes.
DIR. Blake's voice and histrionic
ability are both worthy of better things
than amateur pantomime; Mr. Blair
has remarkable faculty for minicry
and very expressive face; and the
changing pageant of color, the chorus
and colo singing. make an unusual en-
semble that has accumulated q good
many dollars for the homeless little
uewsboys who 80 much need q Home

the base and cowardly policy of assail-

Surprising, too. that he had addressed
to Congress a milk and water message

has anything in particular to say. The
other three brothers carry their part in

IS constructed especially for these agile
brothers, and they go sailing through the

startling manner. The best scene is in

The Welsbach burner, which the United
Gas Improvement Company is offering for
sale at cost price, is a marvel 1t pro-
duces the most brilliant and at the same
time the most economical light yet In
vented. What is termed the three
FOOT burner of the Welsbach pattern
gives double the light of the old six
foot gas burner.
The Gas Company q lamps OF vari-
Gus designs equipped with the new burn-
er. Their beauty and usefulness make
them desirable holiday gifts. TIL .Weis-
bach light can be attached to fixture
and it is especially desirable for stand
lamps, banquet and piano lamps. It can
be attached to old oil lamps by Simply
running a ga tube alongside the pedestal
and attaching 1T to the burner. 1t fur
nishes a light far superior to the cleo
trio incandescent bulbs.
The Welsbach light is now being used
in the Public Library, the Tabernacle,
Taylor's Hotel and the Second Presby-

six men are kept busy filling the or

MRS. TENANT DEAD.
The Wife of unselor G. 6. remnant
Passes Away ON Saturday.

Mrs. Zoe Tenant, wife of Counsellor
George G. Tenant, died on Saturday last
at her late home. Park street, from the
effects of typhoid fever. Mrs. Tenant
contracted a severe cold a few weeks ago
and later typhoid fever set in with the
sad result.
Mrs. Tenant was the daughter of Mr..
Samuel McBurney of the Hudson River
Ice Company and leaves an infant born
in June last. A pathetic feature in this
is that when Mrs. Tenants mother
died, She, Miss McBurney, then was a
little babe n her dying mother placed
her in the lands of an aunt requesting
her to take care of the little one. In
this case, too, Mrs. Tennan committed
her offspring to the same tender care.

THE foreign Editor of the Post" also
has spasms because our children are
taught patriotism in the schools. He had
over a thousand words of Indignation
about it on Saturday. He says
Demagogues, ruffians, and ignoramuses
fill the air with abuse of foreign nations,
and threats to whip them, while the
very children in the public schools are
brought up to hate them, and consider
the highest and most glorious duty OF
the patriot to kill them and burn their
houses.
If Mr.. Godkin were not. absolutely
rabtd just at present he would recognize
tina in any literal sense this is simply
a brutal, vulgar lie. The teaching of
the day is, indeed, far too pacific and
fraternal. But. SO far as there is any
truth in it, it is most sound and good.
BY all means let the children be taught
tina we are the people; that we can
click creation and that we are quite
ready to do it if creation gives US any
provocation.
Let the Eagle scream in the schools.
