A LIBERAL ORGAN OFFER.

That there has been a revolution III
the manufacture of Organs and Pianos
is evinced by the current offer of Cor
nish Il Co., the well known manufact-
urers of Washington, n. j. For the

selling Instruments through agents and
dealers. sheir plan being to give the
enormous profits usually retained by
the tradesman to the buyer. Their
efforts to place first class Instruments
within the reach of all, at manufacture
er's prices and the most liberal terms,
deserves the highest commendation.
Every one who is contemplating the
purchase of an Organ Or Piano, should
get the catalogue issued by this firm.

and best designs of Organs and Pianos
with prices and special offers that are
sure to prove profitable. They general

ST. LUKE'S p. E. CHURCH.

1t would be difficult to conceive Of an
evening more delightful than WAS en-
joyed 10y those who filled to their utter
most capacity the spacious parlors and
halls of the residence Of Mr.. A. 2. Al
bert, 1910 Vermont avenue, on Monday
February 4. Appearing on the pro-
gramme were Miss Ednorah Nahar, Miss
Kate III. Slade, Miss May Bradford,
Miss Ada Albert, Messrs. Joseph ii.
Douglass, John L. Layton, and Frank
Marins, ChicagoO Masters Daniel and
Henry Murray, and Mr.. Ii. w. Wallace.
Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Hilyer, and Miss
Essie Tucker divided the duties of ac-
companying. Under the management
of the veteran director, Maj. G. A.
Fleetwood, the interest was not allowed
to lag from start to finish, the pro-
gramme closing promptly at 10 O'Clock.
After the exercises the ladies .ot the
guild furnished refreshments free OF
charge to all, and some of the younger
folk stole a chance to trip the light IAN
tastic. One of the features of the even
ing was the debut of Miss Ada Albert
Gagged eight years. in a recital, which
elected one of the heartiest encOreS OF
the evening. The whole affair was more
than creditable to all concerned, and
netted neat sum.

Magazine For January, 1896

The complete novel in the January
issue of LitPiRc0tPS is by Mrs. Alex
ander, the author of "The Wooing
OF" and other well-known books.
"Mrs. Crichton's Creditor" was also
her admirer, but his devotion was dis
interested almost beyond parallel, and
her innocence and sense of duty were
such, that the two would have made
a model pair-if they only had been
paired. AS for Mr.. Crichton, there
was much less to be said in his favor
"The Woman of Asbestos" is a
Neapolitan story by Mrs. Pullen, bet
ter known as Elizabeth Cavazza, who
knows southern Italy as if it were her
native land. Dorothy f. Nelson
strikes the true note of Christmas in
sour Lady of the Angels"
"The Way of Will" was a curious
way indeed, it is here traced by Will
lam T. Nichols, already we'll known to
the readers of Litbmc0HS. Charles
Dudley Rhodes tells with humorous
Western cynicism the tale of "The
Man who Come to Town.
Architecture in America: a Fore
cast" by John Stewardson, is the first
of a series of papers on a subject
which now holds a prominent place in
public interest. DR.. Charles c. Alb
bot preaches little sermon on
"Landmarks.
"The Moonshiner of Fact" as de.
lineated by Francis Lynde, who here
speaks from observation rather than
imagination, differs materially from
the moonshiner ofromance. David
Bruce Fitzgerald describes a night
"With the Ducking Police"
Lyman Horace Weeks writes of
"Some Women in Doublet and Hose" "
Actresses who appeared in male
parts. Richard Henry Stoddard
gives his "reminiscences of "Longfel-
low," and Oliver Mckee exposes SAN
Editorial Copy-Foundry."
The verse Of the number is by

to help Cannon more, CONSPICUOUS,
Boutelle asked, after having been shut
up on the election question by Mr..
Crisp, for five minutes, to make a
speech on the Hawaiian question.
He got laugh instead. The ques-
ton is often asked after one of Bou-
telle's exhibitions of himself, "How
does he get to Congress from pro-
hibition state?" BY the way, Boutelle
made another exhibition of himself by
'tenouncing those republicans who
joined the democrats in applaudlng
the Presidents Monroe Doctrine
Message.
Democratic Senators were not
greatly surprised when they learned
that the republican caucus had treated
the populist Senators much better
than the democratic Senators in the
distribution of the chairmanships of
committees, which it is customary to
allot to the minority in the.Sepate.
They suspected some time ago that
the republicans had made deal with
the populists; now they know it. The
populists all get chaiImanships, either
OF a standing or select committee,
while the democrats with a member
ship OF only five less than half of the
Senate only get twelve chairmanships,
five of standing committees andseven
ofselect committees, all unimportant.
Before adjourning, the Senate
adopted Senator Calls resolution for
an investigation of the part taken in
the election of members of Congress
by corporations; also one Ex-senator
Davis asking the President for imfor-
mation and correspondence relating
to British encroachment in Alaska.

Republicans Have No Use for the Col
ored Man, Except for His Vote.

One incident of the Republican
,House caucas will not pass without
notice. A prominent and seemingly
quite popular colored clergyman of
Washington aspired to the position
of Chaplain. He received just two
votes. 1t is the same old story, some
what emphasized in this particular.
The colored man and brother owes
much to the Republican party, but its
leading politicians do not want the
account to get into awkward shape
They do not propose to make such
recognition as might be embarrassing
