FROM BETHLEHEM TO CALVARY.
DR.. Pelps Lecture Enjoyed by
Large Audience I'm Raleigh,

The Raleigh On. CO. News and Observer
Of Friday says:
Rev. Edward L. Pell. at Central Meth
odist church. last evening delivered his
illustrated lecture, From Bethlehem
to Calvary" The audience was the
largest that has attended lecture here
since Sam Jones appeared, and was
heartily appreciative.
The lecture was an effort to present
the footsteps Of Jesus in their order
from Bethlehem all the way to Calvary.
and to impress upon the mind through
the eye and ear a realistic picture OF the
Nazarene and Of HIS life.
Mr.. Pell. In a forcible and earnest
way, presented a vivid word-picture OF
the life OF Christ on earth. At times
he rose to eioquence and thrilled his
hearers. ION this very night. at this very
hour" he said, 'the Saviour gathered
his disciples together. In the upper room.
at the last supper, and instituted the
holy sacrament" He then pictured the
scene Of the Last Supper and the mid
night In the garden OF Gethsemans. This
was peculiarly effective and appropriate.
last night being the anniversary OF that
sacred occasion.
The lecturer was assisted by an opera
tor, who with a powerful stereopticon,
threw upon the screen numerous dissolv-
ing Views Of the places Jesus visited. and
also reproductions In fun colors OF great
paintings illuminating the main incidents
OF his life. Among the latter were "The
Announcement to the Shepherds" THE
Wise Men from the East" "The Wedding
In Cana" 1.-THE Paralytic Healed" Rails
ing OF Jairus's Daughter" THE Trans
fguraton," THE Good Samaritan"
Jesus Blessing Little Children" "Rais-
ing OF LAZARUS" Christ Before Plate"
Christ Bearing His Cross THE Resur-
rection." The Ascension and many
others. These paintings by the masters
were finely reproduced in all the colors OF
the original: the dissolving lime-lght
makes very effective picture The views
were all Of famous paintings, and these
formed an art gallery in themselves
This lecture was one or the most en-
tertaining and instructive ever heard
here.

only recall that iron. which does not

Gid not think ! could spare him from
that branch OF the service. But / put
him In command Of cavalry, and he led
his troopers with a skill, dash. and gal
lantry that made me feel that he was a
born cavalry leader, and ought to per-
manently command cavalry. And when l
put him IN command OF infantry he was
equally at home there, and showed the
very highest qualities OF commander.
When the war closed he was unquestion-
ably one of our ablest generals. and he
has proved himself since a high-toned,
Christian gentleman, an able educator,
and one of the first citizens of Mississippi.
WAS A JUST TRIBUTE
No one can study the career OF General
Lee without being convinced of the just
ness OF Mr.. Davis's tribute. As the brill
liant young artillery officer at the cap
ture of Fort Sumter as the commander
of the guns which did such splendid SER
vice and contributed so materially TO our
great victory at Second Manassas. and
as the heroic and skilful artillerist who
fought his guns TO their very muzzle at
Eharpsburg, where $4,000 Confederates
withstood nearly 10000 Federals I'M
der Mcclellan, Stephen ID. Lee won
his spurs as one of the most
brilliant Of that galaxy Of Confede-

guns. inferior ammunition, and inferior
equipments of every description, were
always more than q match for the artil-
iery opposed to them.

THE MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL.
This to De the Notable Local Event
of the SensOn.

The most notable local musical event
OF the season will BIO the May Music Fes-
tiyal TO be given by the Wednes-
day Club In the Academy Of Music on
Thursday and Friday evenings. May
18th and 18th.
The Wednesday Club festivals have for
the past two seasons been the most
prominent function OF Richmond's mu-
steal circles, and each year has marked
a decided elevation OF TIE artistic work
Of the club, as well as the professional
artists that have been presented. This
season will be no exception TO the rule.
Mendelssohn's noble Hymn OF Praise"
which, when given at the Birmingham
England Festival, In 1870 so impressed
the vast audience that they rose with
one accord-the practice then set being
now adopted at festivals wherever this
grand work IS presented-will be the piece
de resistance Of the first evenings pro-
gramme.
Madame Lillian Blauvelt, the most
famous of oratorio and concert sopranos
now before the American public, has been
secured to sing at both concerts. one
Of New York's most popular and artis-
tic tenors, Mr.. Mackenzie Gordon, viii
also be heard at both performances.
Mr.. II. c. Chase. Of Boston, has been
engaged TO sing the baritone roles at
both concerts. Mr. Chase Is highly
spoken OF as possessing a beautiful BARI
tone voice, by Mr.. Surettl, who will be
remembered as having given delightful
series Of lectures ON music before the
Wednesday Club.
The Peabody Orchestra, OF Baltimore.
will be engaged just as soon as there Is
sufficient guarantee from the public TO
justify the great additional expense. This
can only be apparent through the hon
orary membership list. over sixty names
have so far been enrolled, but at least
as many more is necessary to insure the
club against loss, should the orchestra
be employed. Honorary members are
presented with three tickets to each con-
cert. and have the privilege OF purchas-
ing one extra ticket 10 each concert at
the time OF reserving seats for 81 each.
The first day OF the opening OF the box
office will be devoted exclusively TO hon
orary members. and seats may be re-
served without extra charge.
The officers OF the club are: II. T. Me-
loney president: Eugene Jones. secre-
tary and treasurer; Arthur Scriyernor.
director; and Ar. Horace +. Smith has
been engaged as business manager Of the
May festival.

The Right Chandler.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
have read with much interest the ar
ticle in to-day's Dispatch headed, ''The
Right Chandler by the Ear" During,
and after the election OF 1876 I he'd a
railway position In a Southwest Virginia
town. and portion OF my duties was the
management OF the Western Union Tele-
graph business Of the Office. A commercial
wire, connecting the Washington, ID. c..
Office with New Orleans. passed directly
through my Office (enabling me to work
with both Washington and New Orleans,
and to "catch" any kilograms passing
over said wIre).
l have a vivid recollection of catching
a telegram which ran, almost word for
word, as follows:

pared for them.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
That excellent Magazine. THE Ameri-
can Historical Register" for last Feb
ruary. contains a memoir OF General John
Steele. OF Pennsylvania, with portraits
of himself and wife. He was looking for
ward to becoming a clergyman; but when
the war for our Independence broke out
he at the age OF II enlisted as a private
soldier. but was promoted. As captain.
he was severely wounded at the battle OF
Brandywine and thought to be dead.
Some faithful soldiers bore him from the
field aud took him where he received the
assiduous nursing of two stranger, put
patriotic women. At length his father
found him and took him home.
After his recovery he commanded the
body guard of Mrs. Washington, whist
she lived at Morristown, n. j., ana du-
ring the Generals absence was mem
Der Of her household. Whilst ne was
serving in the above capacity he wrote
a letter 10 his brother, William, which
gives an appalling account OF the bar
barlties practced upon the women OF
New Jersey by the British soldiers, ana
then adds the following:
Il am at present enjoying myself IN
comparably well in the family or Mrs.
Washington, whose guard / have had the
honor to command during the absence
Of the General, which is now six or seven
days l am happy in the Importance OF

as they exist. / leave you to judge
whether there Ia not considerable merit

congressman again. The rations they
have consumed considerably overoalance
all their service done as volunteers-for

and drunk as much wine as they would
earn in six months"
This same John Steele was field officer
OF the day at the surrender OF Yorktown.
After the close of the war he married
his long-loved Abigail Ann Bailey. whose
father. Francis Bailey, of Lancaster. Pa,
was the first to characterize Washing
ton as "the Father OF his Country" This
he did by an almanac which he
published In l77s. whose frontisplecs
