UNDER THE ORGANS SPELL.
The Strong Effect of Church Music
on n Young Woman of Evanston.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle
Church music has strange effect upon
the sensibilities of Miss Bessie Ayres of
Evanston During the service at the First
Congregational church in that suburb
Miss Ayres was completely hypnotized by
the strains of the organ, and she finally
went into a hypnotic trance, from which
she was resuscitated with the greatest
difficulty. The usual notices had been Civ
en- out, and then Dr. Loba made the usual
matter-of-fact announcement: THE morn
ing collection will now be taken" Scott
Wheeler, who was presiding at the or
gan, at once started into particularly
powerful selection from one of Dudley
Bucks compositions.
AS soon as the strains of the organ were
heard those sitting near Miss Ayres no
ticed that she half rose in her seat as if
TO change her position. Then she seemed
to think better of ii and sat down again.
In moment those in the same pew no
ticed that her fingers were twitching ner-
vously, and that her face had become so
red as to be nearly purple. 1t was evident
that something was wrong.
A kindly disposed lady sitting in the pew
behind asked Miss Ayres if she could give
her any assistance. She turned to reply to
the well-meant inquiry, but no words came
from her lips. She seemed to be making a
desperate struggle with some emotion and
her whole body was now twitching as if
she were the victim of st. Vitus' dance.
Suddenly the blood left Miss Ayres' face
as it had come, and left her as pale as
death itself. She made an attempt to rise,
wavered, tried to catch herself on the pew
in front, and fell headlong onto the aisle
with jar which startled every one on
that side of the church.
She was carried out of the audience room
to the open air, where, it was thought, she
would at once recover, but she was still as
insensible as when first picked up. After
a few moments of vigorous work she slow
~ began to revive, much to the relief Of
her nurses. The usual question of where
am I2' was asked by Miss Ayres as soon
as she recovered consciousness sufficiently
to become aware of what was going on
about her.
Il have not the first memory" she went
on, "of anything that happened after |
heard the first strains of the Voluntary"
DR.. Loba, the pastor of the church, when
questioned g bout the occurrence, said:
Miss Ayres has for long time been suf-
fering with brain trouble, but that does
not affect her unless she hears the strains
of a church organ. For a long time she
stayed away from church on this account
for her spell to-day was but a repetition
of former experiences. There appears to
be something uncongenial or else too con-
genial between her peculiar nervous tenn
permanent and the sound of an organ. and
she can never hear that class of music
without feeling the effects of it,

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1895-10-16

Col. Henson seemed scarcely con-
scious of her presence. He appeared
to be silently sinking into the grave,
for the mental and physical suffering
he had endured. His daughters mar
riage seemed to have been final blow
that almost dethroned his reason.
Just at this juncture Hannah re-
ceived letter from Mary, which she
brought TO Sugy-Honey to read. Mary
asked for news of her father, and said
they had been unable to trace him; and
wound up by telling of her baby boy,
named for Col. Henson.
This was great news to Sugy-Honey,
| and she decided to write and ask her
young mistress to come home and
bring the baby. She had learned to
write little, and after many attempts
she evolved this letter:
DEERE MISS MARY: You is my miss mary
| yit, chen il we all is free. Hab we forgot de

| Sugy Honey" 49,
This letter reached Mary in her dis
tant home. Despite every effort, she
had heard nothing of her father, and
feared he was dead. So even with this
sad news, it was with a lighter heart
she journeyed toward her old home.
Arriving in the neighborhood, she
sent for old Hannah, who gave her the
particulars of her fathers condition,
and together they had many an anxious
discussion as to what was best to be
done.
de doctor say it wouldn't do fer you
ter go ter see him. He is so sot again
yer fer havin' de captain; der shock oh
SEEM yer might kill him." Hannah
said on one of those occasions. "But

Col Henson had worked with will,
and while he was rolling and rubbing
the baby form he was mentally MAX
ing an almost unconscious vow:
'Oh Lord, spare this little one I had
begun to love, and I will no longer
waste my life. Only let me save the
baby from hideous death and will
arouse from my lethargy, will soften
my heart to my only child and take
her into my life again"
All this and much more he vowed
while life and death hung in the bal
ance, and while he and Sugy-Honey
were winning the victory.
At last the danger was past; the
baby had ceased crying and was giving
one OF his ripping laughs over a caper
his nurse was executing for his bene-
tit. A swift rush of skirts was heard,
for bad news flies quickly, and the
babys mother, with open arms and her
heart in her eyes, was in the room,
hugging first the baby and then her
father. then laughing and crying,
talking and explaining all at once.
Hannah, who stood in the doorway,
with uplifted, streaming eyes, ex-
claimed:
Dress the Lawd, oh my soul!"
While Sugy-Honey. despite her
burning hands, was dancing a jig in
the cornnr, for, though she did not
know it, her mission was fulfilled

STORY OF DOUGLASS.

As He Himself Told 1t In an Address to
Colored School.
A dozen years ago Mr.. Douglass
went back to Talbot county, Md,
where he was born a slave, to buy
some of the property which, in the
old days, he was forbidden by law to
own, because nature had colored his
skin brown, and white men had, by
their superior strength, been able to
buy and sell his ancestors. While
there he was invited to address col
ored school, and this was what he said:
II once knew little colored boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old. He was slave,
and had no one to care for him! He
slept on dirt floor in howell, and in
cold weather would crawl into meal
bag head foremost, and leave his feet
in the ashes to keep them warm. Often
he would roast an ear of corn and eat
it to satisfy his hunger, and many
times has he crawled under the barn
or stable and secured eggs, which he
would roast in the fire and eat.
''That boy did not wear pants like
you do, but tow linen shirt. Schools
were unknown to him, and he learned
to spell from an old Webster's spelling
book and to read and write from
posters on cellar and barn doors, while
boys and men would help him. He
would then preach and speak, and
soon became we'll known. He became
presidential elector, United States
marshal, United States recorder,
United States diplomat, and accumu-
lated some wealth. He were broad
cloth and didn't have to divide crumbs
with the dogs under the table. That
boy was Frederick Douglass.
what was possible for me is pos
sible for you. Don't think because
you are colored you can't accomplish
anything. Strive earnestly to add to
your knowledge. So long as you re-
main in ignorance SO long will you fail
to command the respect of your fellow
men"
Who could add anything to that
which would not spoil it?-Kate Fields
Washington.

mosely, so she kin tell me eff ne try ter
hurt heself."
Jake assented to this, and after am
pie explanation it was understood be-
tween the three that Sugy-Honey was
to be valet de chambre to Col. Henson.
She well remembered her young mis-
tress, whom she adored with an affec-
ton the mistress of to-day never
knows. The knowledge that Miss
airy would want her to stay with
''marster" touched a responsive chord
in her heart. She could not do too
much. Each day thereafter found her
in attendance. Sometimes, in an OBJ
trusive corner, she rubbed the knives;
at other times she softly played check
ers on an old shawl; but whatever her
apparent occupation, hands, feet and
eyes were always at his service. If he
happened to be thirsty, she brought
the colonel fresh water; if sleepy, she
beat up the pillow on his lounge. and
famed him while he took a nap
Sometimes she sat with stray news
paper in her hand pointing out the
letters and making them into words;
for her young mistress had taught her
. little, and told ,har 10 try and learn
more.

BIG HATS THIS FALL.

Immense Bows, Flowers and Feathers
Textures of the New Millinery.
The hats, bonnets and toques for the
fall are SO different from those that
have been worn recently that about
the only resemblance is that they are
large. Immense breadth seems a ne
cessity, and flowers seem to be one of
the important features. In addition
to velvet peoples and dahlias and roses
of silk and velvet are gillyfowers and
carnations. All seem to come in exag-
gerated size. This is also the case
with the fancy feathers. Many are
taken from the larger birds, like the
osprey, heron and owl, and are used
fat on the hats.
Some of the bonnets have close
fitting skull-cap crown with turned
back coronet-shaped piece resembling
the caps worn by the Breton peasants.
One truly gigantic hat has a plated
chenille brim with three large bows
turned downward from the edge to
produce width. 1t is finished with a
-}ssSge cocks plume, four small birds
and plenty of steel ornaments. 1t is
fine; so that one can see that hats must
be loaded with trimming to be fash
ionable. The felt hats are of good pro-
portion. One exhibited is folded over
SO as to form double brim over the
face, and above this rises an enormous
osprey feather and four ostrich plumes.
great deal of royal purple velvet
is to be used this season. A hat of
this is bordered with fringe of ostrich
feathers and has for trimming very
large outstanding bows of black satin.
The bonnets have strings, but not the
toques, and the strings are often the
only distinction. A Killed bonnet is
very becoming, because it nestles down
on the head. One among the imported
novelties was of velvet. The crown
was of the killing, and ruche of the
same served for the brim, which had
soft silken peoples here and there hid
den In it.-N. Y. Sun. a at

you kin stay close by, en- I'll make out
like I'll hire Sugy Honey ter you ter
nus; he don't know what yer new
name is, nohow, en- she kin take de
baby ober dar, en- maybe marster'll
notice him arter awhile"
Thus it was arranged, and the next
day when Sugy-Honey did not appear
as usual, Col. Henson seemed restless,
and finally asked where she was.
Il dun hired her out to NUS"
answered Hannah. 81 taut she might
es well be maxim err little somethin' Sc
not"
Col. Henson said no more, but he
evidently missed the willing hands
and feet and the CHEEKY presence to
which he had been so long accustomed.
AS he sat on the porch that evening, a
silent, disconsolate figure, he heard a
jolly laugh and baby's pretty cooling.
1t proved to be Sugy-Honey and her
new charge.
The baby was lovely little fellow,
just beginning to prattle. When Sugy-
Honey put him down from her lap he
toddled in the most matter-of-fact way
to Col. Henson, put his hands on the
colonePs knees and chatted necessarily
in his pretty, lisping lingo.
The colonel soon commenced to take
little interest in farm matters; to in
quire of Jake how many of the old
negroes were still on the place; what
crops he planted, and to give some ad-
vice as to their cultivation. Yet it was
plain that his day began when Sugy-
Honey came with the baby and ended
when they left. He still had no idea
who the little one really was, for all
were afraid to tell him. eH
Thus the summer days passed.
Hannah often reported progress to
Mary. who was cheered by her IA
theirs improvement, and yet depressed.
He had never yet mentioned her name.
Would she ever again see his eyes rest
upon her with the old fondness? She
and her husband and Hannah thought
over all the possible and Impossible
ways of bringing about reconcilia-
ton, but none of them could devise a
plan that appeared safe and feasible.
One day in early autumn Sugy-Honey
and the baby made their usual pill
grimage to the old place.
The baby had long weed with a
fuzzy end for tail playing horse. He
was calling on Tunnel" as he called
him. to whip up his horse, and while
prancing to and fro in some way the
weed caught Oh fire from the open
fireplace, and before anyone realized
that danger was near, the little form
was partially enveloped in flames.
Sugy- Honey rushed to the rescue,
for she was the first to see the blaze,
and the colonel wrapped the scream
ing baby in rug. Their hands and
arms were severely burned, but the
baby escaped miraculously. Though
all his pretty curls were gone and his
outside clothing burned, yet the
wooden garment next his body was
scarcely scorched h,sN

Hannah knew he had heard of his

Hannah knew he had heard of his
.wife's death, and of the destruction OF
the house, but no one had told him OF
the detection of his daughter, and she
was seeking with hustle and clatter to
put off the evil moment when the ill
tidings must be told.
Col. Henson made no reply, but
looked through the window at the va

and at the grave just beyond the box
borders of the garden, showing red
dish yellow in the last rays Of the set
ting sun.
His face, though sad, was not hope
less, for despite the issues of the war
and the desolation surrounding him, he
was expecting each moment to hear his
daughters voice and to feel her arms
around his neck. He had been alone
in his sorrow SO long! Why did she not
come? At last he turned to Hannah
and said: Where is Mary?"
'Oh, marster. who is to tell you bout
dat? can't" and throwing her apron
over her head she rocked to and fro,
shaking with sobs.
.'Speak, woman" said the colonel,
sternly; lis she dead?"
Hannah uncovered her face and
looked at him. When he looked and
talked like that she knew she must
obey. kst ttEf

wus burnt, en- though she hated a
Yankee like pizen, love is stronger
dan hate, en- she loved him"
Col. Henson said nothing, but he
looked like man who had received
his death blow.
Hannah knelt at his feet, pouring
out from her heart protestations of
loyalty and affection, and from a
stocking she had taken from her pock-
ct two hundred dollars in gold. She
begged him to take the money; she
had made it in various ways, and saved
it for him. And then she added:
''Pse gwine ter stay wild yer, mars

AS she rose to her feet Col. Henson
said: keep the money for yourself,
Hannah" and with an imperious wave
of his hand: Never let me hear my
daughters name again"
And that was all he would say.
Hannah cooked for him, saw that he
slept comfortably, and tried in many
ways to arouse his old-time interest in
the farm. 1t was all in vain. A men
tai paralysis seemed to have settled
down upon him that nothing could
dispel.
