of present evils

GERMAN.
The undersigned desires to organize a class in
German. Every American citizen who can af-
lord both time and expense ought to be master
of at least two languages. The German language
has many advantages over modern languages on
account of her profound literature in all branch
es of ancient and modern science produced in
her world renowned universities. Those who
would drink from these ineXhaustible and vet
unadulteIated fountains of knowledge, must
master the language which contains the key to
them. The undersigned Will organize Il class in
German, and will begin with actual work on the
first day of Septem ber The class will meet two
or three times week in the evening or when
most convenient to the upils. Rapid progress
guaranteed to those who viii get down to earn
est labor. All who desire to participate in this
work Will please announce their intention to
the undersigned at early date, as the class
will be limited to q certain number. Charges
Will be very reasonable
LATIN.
The undersigned will also organize class in
Latin. There many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond a
common school education should take at least
course in Latin. that probably everybody is IA
take space here to speak of the beauties of the
Latin language nor of the many advantages in
life possessed by those who have mastered it. 1
will here only announce my intention to organ
ize a cass in Latin. Rapid progress guaranteed
to those who will work hard. Charges very rea-
soHable All desiring instruction in Latin are
kindly requested to announce their intention to
the undersigned before September, if possible.

Fred Neary Passed Away Yesterday
Evening.
Fred. Neary, one of the well-known
proprietors of the Windsor Hotel,
passed away last night after long i'll
ness. Deceased was widely known
throughout the State, and his whole
souled, generous nature made him a
favorite with all who met him. He was
an ardent sportsman, and prominent in
coursing circles. He leaves a wife and
infant boy to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Neary was 40 years old, and was
born in Ireland, coming to America in
1873, and staying for a year in Lowell,
Mass, before coming to this city.
He worked at his trade of shoemak-
ing with the late John Parsons, and
soon after opened a place of his own on
Seventh street. Some years afterward
he had charge Of the shoe department
at the Red House. In 1887 he took a
trip to Ireland, and on his return
formed a partnership with Peter Flah-
erty and bought the Windsor Hotel, in
which he remained till his death.
In 1875 he became member of Com
pany G, and filed the offices up to Lieu
tenant. When T. W. Sheehan became
Colonel of the regiment he appointed
Mr.. Neary Adjutant, which position he
held for several years, being finally
elected Major, which position he re-
tanned till 1888.
He was a member of Council No. IL,

4 nisnnieting Interruption.

A funny incident occurred at q
meeting of the constituents of George
Kemp, the new member for the Hey
wood Division of Lancashire, England,
one Saturday evening, illustrative OF
the manner in which public speakers
are occasionally disconnected by unex-
pected replies from the audience TO
carefully prepared questions which the
orators themselves intended to answer,
by way of illustrating their arguments.
This young parliamentary representa-
tive queried: What have members been
doing in London during the last three
weeks?" There's no telling! came
the sudden response in a female voice.
The laughter was so loud and long that
Captain Kemp was obliged to wait for
some time before he could furnish his
Unionist audience with an account OF
the doings of their faithful and hard
working representatives in the House.

Last evening at the Congregational

of his lecture upon Handel and music,
expressed the hope that Sacramentans
would be afforded the opportunity to
hear Paderewski. saying that he had

do.' He became the social rage and
Queen Anne committed to him the COM
position of the anthem to commem-
crate the close of the ten years war
that secured to the house of Hanover
the throne of England.
His leave of absence was frequently
extended, but he finally overstayed it.
and in the meantime George, his pa
tron, came to the throne of England
Fearing his displeasure on the occasion
of his reception. he arranged a musical
surprise for the King who asked for its
author, suspecting him to be the runa-
way. He was produced. forgiven, his
pension increased, and he was made in
structor to the Princess.
From this point in the career of the
great master the lecturer traced the
story of his compositions, the rivalry
that brought him into disrepute, the
quarrels among the mobiles over him and
bis rivals, his self-exile to Ireland, his
splendid reception there, where he COM
posed THE Messiah" and first pro-
duced it, his recall to London. his tri-
umph over his rivals, and his final rec
o5nition as the master of his time This
recital was punctuated by several anec-
dotes, characteristic Of the man, and by
analysis Of his character and the in
tluences that led him to certain orders
Of composition, and finally, after COM
posing over fifty operas, to devote the
last twenty years of his life to sacred
music alone, as the means of most
fully expressing the burning desire of
his soul
He was described as man of irrita-
BILE temper, passionate and violent; yet
these outbursts soon passed, and he
cherished no animosities. He was
great-hearted, witty. simple, never daz-
zled by splendor, and never was in fear
of riches or royalty. He often rebuked
the mobiles, and even the Prince of
Wales came in for his rebukes before
public audiences.
He was persistent, untiring, rapid in
his composition, and his soul seemed to
burn with unuttered wealth of the no.
blest thought and conception. He never
married but no scandals ever attached
to his name. He lived simply, but he
fell into debt, was stricken with paraly-
sis, was declared a bankrupt and suf-
fered much in consequence. But he
l.,
and though many years nearly blind
never ceased to labor, so that, dying, he
had fortune enough to divide, and leave
a considerable for the relief of INDECENT
musicians.
The lecturer dwelt upon the influence
of the works of Handel upon civiIiza-
ton, the immortality Of his compost
ticns, and what the world owes to the
memory of this master, for whom
statues rise in England and in Germany
and whose remains are honored by re-
pose in Westminster Abbey. He point
ed out how natural endowments, en-
vironment and volition in this man con-
spired to produce the genius, and give
to the world some Of the noblest musical
compositions Of its history.
It was an interesting historical re-
cital concise and fair criticism OF
musical genius, and a just estimate OF
great character. At times it was
marked by pathetic recital, and al
others by application most apt to this
day and people of the lessons of Ham
del's life and achievements.

An Old and Once Popular Custom Now

To-day is the anniversary of st.
Valentine When those who have now
passed lifes meridian were youths and
maidens, St. Valentines Day was to
them an occasion of much interest, but
of late years it has lost its former sig
nificance, and is now observed chiefly
by juveniles.
Bashful young people whose hearts
have been pierced by Cupid's darts do
not exchange gaudy missives with
amorous verses or bits of sentimental
prose, so generally as did those of the
days when their parents We're in their
teens, but the boys and girls manage to
keep up the demand for their produc-
ton.
Thousands OF valentines have been
sold to school children in this city the
past week. and to-day the school teach
ers will have added to their usual duties
the task of distributing among the
pupils the piles of valentines left on
their desks for that purpose.
