Mrs. j. A. Milburn has opened her parlors
for studio exhibit of the summer and au-
tumn work of Mr.. Otto Stark The first
view was given last night and the exhibit
will be continued this afternoon and even
ing. and is open to the public. Perhaps no
work of Mr. Starks is better than that
wherein children are the subjects. These
children are not posed for the artist but
he waits until he finds them in a position
which he would like to transfer to canvas
and the result is that the pictures of the
children are lifelke and they appeal to the
lover of children as well as the lover Of art.
A happily named picture is the Song of
Praise, an infant seated among pillows.

skilled in his representation of sunsets and
sunrises. In speaking of it the artist said
that for three years in France he faithfully
studied the sky every night. Not for year
was he able to grasp the cooring long
enough to place any reproduction. Another
year he had better success, and still he
watches the sunset skies and the feecy
clouds, rare colorings, and the evanes cent
effects are caught by his brush. With chill
dren, landscapes and sunsets he has a
wealth of subjects to which he can do full
justice. The pictures are hung on dull gray

win effects from all schools. To see the
work is to appreciate one of the leading
artists of the State.

THE PULPIT AND THE PRESS.
The Very Bad Break of an Indiscreet
Preacher at Indianapolis.
Houston Post.

The tendency in the modern pulpit to-
wards the substitution of quasi political
or social or otherwise worldly harangues
for the old-fashioned gospel sermon can
not be noted by well-wishers of the church
and thoughtful citizens generally but with
regret and pain.
The recognized religious teacher, to be
successful in accomplishing the ends of his
ministry, must stick to his text and es-
chew sensationalsm.
A noteworthy departure from this rule of
action is cited by the indianapolis Sentinel
in reporting a TRADE of one of the Indian
apolis preachers, a Sunday or two ago
against the press" This gentleman, who
was evidently thirsting for notoriety which
he expected the press to give him i'm re-
ply. among other things. said:
THE general tone of the news is inn
moral. The daily press is largely sewer
Of filth. Reporters, like carrion crows
hover around all forms OF crime. A di-
vorce case or murder trial will receive
columns by telegraph. while great religious,
moral and educational gatherings receive
the briefest mention and that in dryest de-
tail Tho question is. Will ii pay? If
the prize ring glowingiy described, will
sell thousand extra papers 1t is reported
with every detail included. The public
press has thereby become school of vice.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The Philadel-
phia season of grand opera, under the di-
rection of Walter Damrosch and G. A. Ell
lis, opened here -auspiciously tonight at
the Academy Of Music, the house being
packed to the roof. Faust" was the opera
chosen for the opening performance, which
aroused much enthusiasm and revealed the
fact that the company organized by Messrs
Damrosch and Ellis is a very strong one.
Madame Melba was the Marguerite and she
was in fine voice She was accorded great
reception and was recalled again and again.
Melba had the support of three singers
new to America, in Henri hos, tenor; M.
Bourdouresque basso, and Mile. Toronto.
hos is the leading French tenor of the
company and he won distinct success as
Faust" He made fine appearance and
displayed a powerful voice of beautiful
quality which he uses with skill Bour-
douresque, the French basso, was more
than satisfactory as Mephisto, and Cam
panari, who was the Valentine, gained
great applause by his fine singing. Mile.
Toronto, debutante. who sang Siebel, has
a fine voice and is handsome young wom-
an. Every box and every seat in the house
was filled and the audience was brilliant
and distinguished. The chorus was partic-
ularly strong, being augmented by some of
the best singers employed in the New York
season Of opera last year. The season is to
continue for seven weeks.

The reception to MIR. Hawkins.

Several hundred members of the literary
clubs of Indianapolis met Mr.. Anthony
Hope Hawkins socially yesterday afternoon
at the reception given to him by the Cen
fury Club, at the Propylaeum. Mr.. Charles

or to the table where the rosy ices fast dis
appeared from the crystal bowls. American
Beauty roses Wed with the other American
beauties in the room and the lamps with
crimson shades glowed to find themselves
in such good company. General Harrison,
many of the ministers and other profess
sional men were present, and not few of
the guests were from out of town. The
assembly hall has probably not held so
representative a gathering of literary club
workers as between the hours of and

They have declared even moderate
laughter a symptom of nervous hysr

People have died of laughter. From
Austria comes curious account of a
man suffering from n nervous disease
that manifested itself in paroXysms Of
laughter The patient was 30 years OF
age and had been subject for three years
TO fits of laughter, which occurred at
first every two or three months, grad
ually increasing in frequency TO dozen
or more day. The attacks occurred
especially between nine o'clock in the
evening and 6:3O o'clock in the morning,
and in greatest frequency between five
and 6:3O o'clock. In the intervals be-
tween the attacks. and Immediately be-
fore and afterward, the man was per-
fectly well. The attacks commenced
from a tickling sensation arising from
the toes of the left foot. The patient
would fall TO the ground. where he could
lie down. At the height of the attack
the patient first smiled and then
laughed aloud without any apparent
cause for the excessive merriment. The
entire act occupied about two minutes.
