Now, About Those Critics. ;
Communicated


EDITOR NEwS:-I saw, in Thursday
evenings paper most surprising arti-
Gle from the pen of one signing himself
x. Y. Il.
was surprised first at the eulogistic
notice of the Schubert concert, for had
come to feel that in all Kenosha not
one could be found TO champion their
cause. It also surprised me to find one
i" self constituted critic" belaboring his
fellows in such chaste, yet caustic
language.
Your correspondent, Mr.. Editor, is
manifestly wrong on several points.
He scathingly condemns those "crit-
les" who dared express their opinion of
the Schuberts, forgetting that he him.
self voices most unfriendly criticisms Of
his fellow townsmen. Until he can
produce credentials showing his title TO
the position of critic-in- chief of earth,
and prove beyond doubt that he has
a monopoly of all musical knowledge,
such communications as that of Thurs
day evening are in very bad taste, be-
side exhibiting profound egotism.
AS to the Schubert concert of Mon
day evening, the writer. as the one
most interested in that event, would
have been only too glad to find in the
performance of the Quartette something
to praise. regret to say was unable
to do so. Even at the risk of being
classed with those unable to give . even
a definition of music" beg to state it
as my opinion that the work of the
Schuberts was glaringly faulty, if not
positively bad. The voices failed to
!" blend" This may not be correct
musical term, but it represents a mu-
steal quality of vital Importance in
quartette work. The first tenor is a
first tenor no longer, and the second
bass is merely an Indifferent, lowreg-
lister baritone. The solos given were
very commonplace and the concerted
work ragged and labored. The closing
number, Sullivan's we'll known and
beautiful Lost Chord" was most
foully murdered, Mr.. x. Y. T., and you
would so decide had you ever heard it
rendered by competent singers.
ought, perhaps, to thank the NEWS
correspondent for his defense of the
quartette, hut the animus his article
displays is directed, not at the critics
of the Schuberts, (for he admits the
article was not written to defend the
singers) but rather at those who had
dared to criticise the musical discrim-
ination of Mr. x Y T., SO all force in
Thursday evenings cru ption is de-
stroyed.
Hoping, before long, to have the
pleasure of giving the music-lovtrs OF
Kenosha an opportunity to hear real
male quartette, and sincerely trusting
that x. Y T. will then avail himself OF
the opportunity to begin the study OF
good mnsic we'll rendered, am,
Truly has,
81. W. MARDEN.

GIudness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature Of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that yo9l have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most sl<illful
physicians, bat if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

To Drive Away Flies.

II never use window screens" said a
wise housewife the other day, because 1
have fancy they shut out all the air in
hot weather, aud, besides, they serve to
keep the flies in the house equally as
well as out" "But never see fly in
your house," said her friend. elbow do
you manage it For my part, l must
confess that screens or no screens, my
summer means to me long battle with
the little pests" My remedy is simple
one" said the good house.keeper, "and
! learned it years ago from my grand.
mother, when used to sit and watch
her putting bunches of lavender flowers
around to keep the flies away. My
method is simpler. buy five cents
worth OF oil of lavender at the drug
store and mix it with the same quantity
of water. Then put it in a common
glass atomizer aud spray it around the
rooms wherever flies are apt to congre.
gregate, especially in the dining room,
where sprinkle it plentifully over the
table linen. The odor is especially dis.
agreeable to flies, and they will never
venture in it's neighborhood, though to
most people it has most peculiarly
fresh and garteful SMELL"

Oh yes, you folks promised US good
times with free trade; better times when
the reciprocity treaties should be repeal
ed, and a commercial millennium when
the Sherman act authorizing the coinage
of S4.OOO,000 per month in silver should
be repealed. You're splendid prophets,
you are. Now you want Us to believe
that, after all these things failed. You
have discovered a sure and wonderful
panacea-the free aud unlimited coinage
of silver! You have had things your
own way. If there wasn't enough sill.
yer, why did you repeal the Sherman
act? If there isn't enough silver, now,
why don't the $4OO, ,oOO, 900 silver dollars
now in the government vaults get out
among the people ? They can have them
and welcome, if they're so anxious for
free silver. Why is it the people prefer
gold or paper 2 Do the facts sustain
your claim that silver is the peoples
money, and that they want it, and must
have it, and that there won't be any
more business done till they got it Rise

Speaking of the recent judicial con.

The Hillsboro NEws-HERALD takes oc.

know that with the loyal aid of Ross

land responsible for the failure of the
convention to nominate Judge Clark,
and threatens dire vengeance upon Col.

The NEws-HERALD correctly sizes up
! the situation. At no time was there an
opportu nifty for the nomination of Judge

held the Office for two terms were against
him, and there was an evident determi.

Death Of nrs. Han,an Cohn.

Hannah Oohn, daughter Of James and
Barbetta Rice, was born on the 10Th day
Of January, 1s46, at Sullivan, Iud., and
departed this life on the 18th day OF
July, 1895, at her homo in Highlsud, o.,
aged so yesrs, months and 27 days.
Her complication Of diseases had steadily
been making inroads upon her system
for more than a year, until at last death
claimed her as a shining mark.
In early childhood she moved with
her parents to Cincinnati, O., where she
was united IN msrriage to Joseph on the
sth day of January, 1862, after which
they moved to Highland, o, to com.
mence life's journey and have resided
here ever since, with the exception OF
three years spent in Cincinnati.
BY this happy union eight children
we're born-five sons end three daugh'
ters-aud with the exception of one son
who died in infancy, are all living to
mourn with their almost heart broken
father the loss of an indulgent mother
and an affectionate wife. Her love for
them YVES intense and her care over
them from infancy to maturity was
never failing.
They were in her thoughts all the day
long.
Every one in passing through life has
times of darkness, but there is change
from darkness to light. She is with the
angels-think of that. The great prob.
lem of life is solved, and it is we'll with
her. There is neither doubt, nor fear,
nor anxiety on her account, for she is
safe in the everlasting habitation of our
Heavenly Father.
No more grief, no more sorrow, no
more pain Think OF that. Let not
your thoughts droop with feeble wings
about the dark and gloomy grave. She
is not there. But, let them rise on swift
and sunny pinions to the beautiful dwell.
ling place of the angels.
Her decaying body alone fills the
grave; her pure spirit that gave life and
beauty to its earthly tenement, hes gone
to her better home.
Would you have her back again? Had
you the power with word, to call her
to earth, would you speak that word,
now that she hes escaped the long trial
and suffering that comes to all who have
to make the journey OF life +? Nay
She will be sadly missed by everyone,
for all who knew her loved her. There
will ever be warm spot in the hearts
OF all for her sympathetic aud charitable
acts towards the afflicted and needy.
Good deeds, what are they but good
and true principles, pure affections and
human sympathies, gathered by the
mind as it passes through its fields Of
labor. They are, indeed, golden grains,
full of the souls nutrition.
She hes been a life long member OF
the Plum Street Temple.
Bro. Sentman led a prayer Tuesday,
at the house, after which the remains
were taken to Cincinnati, for interment.
