THE COLLEGE MUSICIANS.
Played to Crowded House at Sayles Hall
Last Night.

Last Nlgnt.
That delightful annual event for the
past five years known as the mid-winter
concert of the Brown Musical Association,
occurred last evening at Sayles Hall, and
there was nothing but stsnding room left
by the friends of the students and the
lovers of good music.
The program was rendered by the Glee
Club, +. NJ Knight, leader; Mandolin
b. Davis, leader; the symphony Society.
l.. c. Broome, leader.
The selections were:

Criticism is therefore entirely dimin-

difficulties the present clubs were
formed. The symphony scored the hit OF
the evening and Mr.. Broome may be
congratulated on the successful showing
maze by his men. The Glee CluD sang
with vigor and for an organization com

Club was in "Pharisee and saddncee."

work OF the quartet was pleasing, the
shading being especially noticeable. Toe

themselves with credit. Mr.. Cadv made

PRETTY BLUES.
Charming House Frocks of the Ever Pop

Charming House Frocixs of the Ever Pop
 ular Color.
 Not all women with blue eyes can wear blue becomingly; it requires a fine, clear skin, and clean, fresh color Several shades of dull blue are shown among the seasons eolorings, many of them verging on the grayish blue worn by our mail carriers, while other shades verge on the violet.
 A charmingly dainty house frock is shown made up in cadet blue foulard. spotted over with open rings of black satin. The skirt is laid in succession of side plaits, one wide box plait setting across the front to the hips. while the side plaits carry the width toward the back.
 The bodice is French affair, with the lower body of the silk drawn smoothly over fitting lining, so as to show no fullness. A deep, oval yoke of white taffeta, overlaid with white mousseline de soie, spreads across the shoulders and is edged with plissed frill of the mousseline de soie. setting out over the sleeves.

The sleeves have big pufrs of the silk at the top, with the lower arms covered with wrinkles of white mousseline de soie.

 INFLUENZA AND SUICIDE.
Instances Where Self Destruction Was the
 Result of Bad Colds.

Result of Bad Colds.
 A case which occurred lately at Dover, where a Scottish gentleman committed suicide, is of importance in one particular. At the inquest it was pointed out that he had not been himself since an attack of influenza two years before, and that in all prob ability this attack was the primary cause of the self-destruetion. The i'm portance of this fact, with regard to motives for suicide, should not be dis regarded, and we are of opinion that large number of the unexplained cases of suicide which have occurred lately are in all probability to be as cribed to post influenza cerebral changes. During the six epidemics which have spread over the country since the winter of 1sS9-90, very large proportion of the population has suf- fered, while many of these must have developed nervous symptoms. To turn to a particular instance, a case in court not long ago depended on the question whether man had committed suicide or not, but the fact that he had had an attack of influenza two years be- fore was not insisted on, owing to the length of time which had elapsed be- tween the attack and the death-just about the same time, it will be noticed, which elapsed between the attack and the suicide in the first ease. Medical iurists will do well to remember that, if the actual effects of influenza, though protean, are feetins, the after results in many are of long duration, insidious, and often of nervous character, lead- ing to the cerebral instability.-Lon- don Medical Press.

The law of emigration which en- joined men go west and grow up with the country has been fulfilled or rather, become imperative The tide of emigration has struck the pillows of the Pacific ocean and reeoiled. The flow is now to the South. Vast areas of unoceupied country lying between the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast are not inviting to an active and enterprising race, and should therefore remain in reserve for an overflow pop nlation that may come in the dim ard distant future. The emigrant of the period is in search of something better than a place to stay, where by dint of constant and unceasing conflict with the elements he can win bare susten- anee for himself and family. He is ann bilious to obtain a home where he can not only live but also by an honest ef- fort accumulate a surplus for rainy rj,

Tribute TO the Late Gen. Harris.

We are permitted to print the following
extract from letter written by Horace
NJ Leighton, OF Columbia Falla, Wash
ington county, who was member of the
last Legislature, to one Of his friends In
this city.
I'VE feel sad very sad to think and
know that our dear old friend Gen. Har-
ris, will never greet us again. All must
miss him very much at the State House.
He was large hearted, grand old soldier,
brave as any on the face of the earth.
The few comrades left in this vicinity, of
that famous Sixth Regiment, attest to
his good qualities, and as to faults, he
had none. We consider Gen Harris had
as many friends as any one in our State. ;"
These words coming from that section
of the State where so many of the soldiers
of that brave regiment lived. must be ever
a comfort to those who lament the death
our brave general Mr. Leighton will be
remembered by those who knew him as O
member of the Legislature, as one Of those
whose voice and vote was given for every
measure that pertained to the good of the
veterans of the war.

There are many Instances on the read,
when code Of signals by whistles or bell

when code will be adopted by the IN. m

tenn for conveying signals by some such
method As II in use in some parts of
Europe.

alarm, where bulldog might be on the
track, or Il tramp or an unusually bad
piece of road should show up three short
notes or rings are sounded For a
halt, one long drawn note, -.
Various other combinations are in use,
ordering turn to the right, or the left,
system would undoubtedly become con
fused and complicated. a simple one would
undoubtedly prove very convenient.
In the case of two men travelling along
a read together. and the rear, having fallen
some distance behind, should meet with
an accident, or from any reason should
wish the other to hold on for him, call
would come in handy Likewise in the
case of the man ahead, should he find
some bad piece of ground or an obstacle, a
signal would be of great assistance. In
the dark especially would this be an excel
lent scheme.
What action will be taken is not now
known, but it is felt by many that sys-
TEN should be adopted OF some kind which
might generally be understood by the

However with the roads in their present
condition, there is no great pressure for
immediate action on the part of the local
men, at any rate, and there is yet plenty
of time to ponder and propose some good

New Automatic Car Coupler.

1t is understood that new car coupler
is being considered by tine Maine Central
Railroad, known as the Morton Auto
matte Car Coupler.
The Norton coupler is the invention OF
Captain W. T.. Pearson Of Boston, and il
is said to have many advantages over any
other coupler yet invented.
1t has been in use for nine months on
the leading roads of New England and
for four months on tho Boston q Maine
system, and has stood the very seyerest
tests 1t is the only coupler that will
couple with both heads locked and the
sharper the curves the more firmly it is
locked
1t is not necessary to so, or to reach in
between cars to couple or uneoup!e and
couples as readily on curves as on straight
line The Norton Company have been
offered two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars by New York syndicate for their
patents and good royalty on all cuuplers
manufactured.
