The great increase in the number
of bicycles carried by passengers on
the Pennsylvania railroad has led to
the issuance of an order that after
Nov. Ist the railroad will no longer
carry bicycles free as passengers bag
gage. They will be rated the same as
excess baggage, except that the mini
mum charge will be but fifteen cents.
The baggage men say that of late
eight or nine bicycles is nothing un-
usual on one trip, and that goes to
show the increase in baggage hereto

AT the state brethren convention
held at Johnstown, some time since
remarkable scene was witnessed. 1t
was during the discussion of the mis-
sion work. In the addresses it was
shown that mission work in this state
had been sadly neglected and that
many brethren in the state had no
place of worship, owing to the manner
in which the churches are distributed
throughout the state. Various rene
dies were suggested, the general feel
ing being that cash was needed.
The Rev. f. + Haskins. of that
city, was the first to discuss the matter
and he forced self denial by offering
as his donation his gold watch which
had been given to him when he was
eleven years old. In a moment the
convention was aroused. Watches
and all sorts of valuables were thrown
into the contribution basket with the
money, and the scene was so affecting
that hundreds shed tears.
During the noon hour the ladie:
held a meeting and decided to form a
Sunday school union and to ask the
convention for its sanction in thei
work, which will be principally intend
! ed to aid the church in its efforts tC
establish mission stations all over th'
state. The convention heartily endor
sed the action of the ladies and ;
request was made that all the socle
ties of such nature merge into ;
state union for their own good.

place for the next convention wa

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT.

Miss Sarah l.. Arnold has been
elected supervisor of the Boston
school board after a fight in the
school board that has lasted since
last summer. Miss Arnold will be
pleasantly remembered here as prin-
cipal of the Union schools for a time
where she did excellent work and
gave general satisfaction. For the
past seven years she has been super
intendent of the primary department
of the Minneapolis public schools.
Her work there attracted the close
attention of educational experts
throughout the West, and in that
part of the country her reputation
now is of the very highest. At the
recent convention of the department
OF superiutendence of the National
Educational Association held in
Cleveland, o., Feb. 10 to 21, Miss
Arnold read a paper entitled Recent
improvements in Primary Work."
which was highly commented upon

RECITALS FROM "sRA UGHRAN.n

1t was privilege granted to but
few to see Boucicault in his famous
Irish play but the patrons of the lee
ture course enjoyed themselves al.
most as thoroughly last Friday
evening by seeing Mr.. Powers, the
great impersonator, in his inimit-
able presentation of the character
of this great Irish drama.
Never did Mr.. Powers show his
dramatic ability to better advant-
age here. The rapid changes in ex-
preston, together with the humor-
Gus delineation and faithful repre-
sentation of the Hiberno-Celtic Ian
guage combined to render the enter
talnment one long to be remembered
The laughabe selection of Pro and
Con was extremely well received and
Mr.. Powers closed with reciting four
verses from Ella Wheeler Wilcox's S
poem MY Ships"

TWO ROBBERIES.

Readers of the CALIFORNIAN will be
interested in two robberies in two
different parts of the country.
The first occurred in Colorado
Springs on the evening of February
13. While the St. Johnsbury friends
were in another part of the house a
thief entered their apartments and
stole the gold watches of Mrs. c. M.
Stone and Miss Mary E. Stone. Sew
eral other places were visited the same
night and valuables and clothing
taken. The thief was arrested sever
al days after in another town while
attempting to sell some OF his stolen
clothing. The ladies have recovered
their watches, but the chains and
charms were not recovered.
The next week the house of Prof.
6. N. Webber Of Northampton,
Mass, was entered by two thieves.
DR.. Webber was pastor of the South
church in this place from 1855
through 1859. His house in North
ampton is closed this winter and the
burglars. who made their visit in the
day time, were discovered and pur-
sued until both were caught. The
only thing they had stolen was a
gold ring, which was identified in
court by Miss Charlotte Webber.

THE SALEM CADET BAND.

The twelfth and last entertainment
in the Y M. c. A. course occurs this
evening. In securing this famous
band the management should have
the thanks and appreciation of the
entire musicloyiIgcommunity This
band never fails to give satisfaction
and seasily the best in New England.
AS its success as an organization is
due to the untiring energy, enthusi-
asm and musical talent of one man,
few words may not be out of place
IN regard to their leader. lean M.
Missud was born at Nice, France in
1852, At an early age he displayed
great musical talent. At the age of
13 he was sent to the Municipal
Music Conservatory and placed
under the celebrated Geo. Testa.
bandmaster to the Prince of Monaco.
he was an earnest student and
gained the good will of his teachers.
and when he developed talent for
extemporizing and writing music,
they were not surprised, for it had
been decided that the youth had been
born to make his way in the world.
In 1869 he enlisted in the United
States navy, on board the Sabine.
then at Nice, and arrived at Charles.
ton at the expiration of his term of
service. Here he found himself a
stranger in strange land, having
but little knowledge of the lar
guage, and no friends on which to
rely. He drifted to Boston and from
thence to- Salem, where he became
solo clarinet of the Salem band and
soon after director. subsequently,
formed quintette band and after
wards became men.Jer of H.
Browns Brigade band. In 1878.
after consulting with Lieut.. Col.
Dalton of the Salem Cadets, he en-.
listed band for that corps. Start
ing with II men the band was soon
imbued with the enthusiasm of it's
leader and attracted to itself some of
the best musicians of the country.
Its concert programmes are always
carefully planned and artisticailv !
carried out, rejecting great credit on
its talented conductor. Mr.. Missud
has composed much music, the best
of which he does not publish, but re-
serves it for the use of his band.
Throughout his entire career he has
won the good opinion of those with
whom he has come in contact and as
a man and musician he stands in
the foremost rank.
