 The Treble Clef gave its concert on Tuesday to a very select and critical audience composed mostly of ladies. All the chorus numbers were carried through in an effective manner, al- though at times with a lack of pre- cision and certainty. This was es- pecially noticeable in the Evening Prayer from Brittany" tlthough the best number on the programme. Sweet and Low" was prettily sung, but why sing this arrangement when Barnley's is in existence and in whiIh the possibilities are so great? The solo parts were very creditably sus- tained by Miss Sargent and Miss h. at the p.ano and carried the numbers through very ably and with good sup port to the club. The soloists were Mrs. w. E. Deity, piano; Miss Sargenl. sopraro, and Mr. W. B. Deity, tenor. The hours entertainment was a most enjoyable one and should be repsat- ed. The public appreciates the efforts of the club and will always be ready to support them.
 The meeting place for rehearsals of the Philharmonics will be at the Bap- tist church, corner of Second avenue and Jefferson street. Two vocal solos are down for next Tuesday evenir g. as we'll as a dues and instIum entaa trio.
 A Yankee lady has found a. new use for an old hymnal. Some time ago Bishop Flaret of Baltimore was the guest of a family in West Virginia. The bishop had dropped the hint thst he liked hard boiled eggs for break fast and his hostess went to the kitch- en to prepare them herself. Whi.e so engaged she began to sing the first stanza Of Rock of Ages" Then s-le sang the second, and ihe bislcp, w-o was in the dining room, jc.n2d in. When it was finished there was si- lence, and the bishop remarked, "Why not sing the third verss?" ''Tha third verse;" replied the lady, as she came into the dining room, carrying the steaming eggs; ''Oh, that's not neces- sary.'' The bishop naturally said that he did not understand. Well, you see," exclaimed the hostess, when I am cooking eggs I always sing one verse for soft boiled and two verses for hard boiled.'
 The Pioneer band played an excel lent programme last Sunday after noon The parts were well balanced and the excellent rythm left little to be desired. Professor Eberhardt's $ cornet solo, "The Lost Chord" was splendidly played and the bands ac- compartment sustained the solo in the most satisfactory and pleasing man. ner. Our band is forging ahead and I think we shall grow prouder of it. Has there been no move made yet for the erection of a band stand? The organization is worthy of a good one
 The organist who has had his heart in his work might we'll be excused for i desiring to have his heart deposit ed near the scene of that work. All the same, the case of Harl Lome, the ca1e- | brated ballad composer, must be somewhat unique. Lome was-for for l ty years the organist of St. Jacobs church at Stettin, and there, in a pill ] Jar near the instrument he played SC long, his heart, by his own direc,i n rests enclosed in silver casket. The spot is marked by marble tai5lel with an inscription, and now it i; 1 proposed to erect a monument tC Lome's memory in front of the church itself. But what a strange fancy il is to have ones heart laid in ore plsce and ones body in another! King Robert the Bruce, it may be remem- hared, ordered his heart to be taken to Jerusalem for laying in the Holy Sepulchre; but the bearer of the cas- ket got no further than Spain. wherG he was slain while carrying the oas. ket round his neck.
 Here's a reminis scence of music if } years ago: I went to MT. Blanks fiddle in hand. He was a teache | who made light of difficulties. Ht said, You want to play the fiddle | Well, it's easy enough. There's pi great mystery about the matter; il fact, it's just as simple as anything can well be. You hold the fiddle il your left hand and your bow in th' right; draw the bow across th, strings so, and there you are! Makt the notes? We'll, you've got fou ready made-the open strings. Tn The others you make by dropping you, fingers on the strings. There's no eff flculty about that. Now, we'll begi, a tune Can't have anything better O. simpler than Home, Sweet Home. Some teachers" he said,t bother thei 1 pupils at first with a lot of scales, bu I don't; don't believe in 'em. You play a scale; well, what is it? You play tune, and there it is. Now, then second finger on the second string and let's begin" So we went througf Home, Sweet Home" several time and with great cheeirfulness. Aftel that we went for 'In My Cottage Nea
