The Elmira Gazette contains the fol-
lowing reference to Organist George B.
Carter, formerly of Scranton:
Evidently the monthly musical SER
vices at Park church have touched a re-
sponsive chord, if the large audience of
last evening is a criterion. Progressive
Park church last evening placed it's mu-
SiCiuna in their correct place in church,
by making them a part of the service
instead of mere entertainers, thus bind
ing together in closer bonds the choir and
pulpit. Probably for the first time In his
tory an organist was permitted at a sun
day service to take the pulpit and address
the audience as did Organist Carter last
evening, when he gave an analytical and
spiritual Interpretation of RheinbergcrS
great "Parsoral-S before the play
ing of it. The Funeral March and Chant
of the Seraphs" by Guilmant was given
with magnificent effect.
The Messiah to he given under the III.
rection of Haydn Evans Tuesday evening
at the Penn Avenue Baptist church
promises to be a most interesting mu-
sical event. The soloists are Mrs Brund-
age, Miss Martha Jones, Thomas BcynOn
and Richard Thomas,

CHORUS:
Gem Of the sea-make her free,
Think of her woes and her serfdom;
True are her maids and brave her sons,
Give to Cuba her peace and freedom.
Hear brother, hear loud her walls,
Cuba, sad Cuba is mourning;
Sorely oppressed for strong her foe
And her heroes for freedom dying;
Come. kind heart. freedoms child thou
art,
And from freedom thou would st part,
no never;
This thy constant prayer. borne on the
air
o let Cuba be free forever
CHORUS:
Speak. golden speech--in thunder sound
Naliantly facing oppression;
Pulpit and press I'm zeal abound,
To give Cuba emancipation;
Go sweet song-freedom's joyous song,
Echo from each mountain and each
river;
The good tidings spread, "Oppresson's
dead
And brave Cuba is free forever"

MARYLAND to the Fore.

1t was almost impossible to elbow
ones way through the crowd of Office
seekers thai throngad the corridors Of
the Senate yesterday. The jam was
almost as great as at the White House
which is saying a good deal. The
marble room was one mass OF human
ity. Senator Wellington was abso-
lutely buried beneath a surging mass
of hungry Marylanders, while Sena-
tor Hanna was seized at every turn.
Senator Cullom was waylaid at his
committee room as early as he reached
the Capitol by an applicant for a
cOnsulship, and there was somebody
at his elbow every other minute of
the day. Senator Mason was also in
great demand. Washington Post.

Garrett County.

Garrett county is a good place to
live according to the Cumberland
Times, which announces that no
healthier place can be found than on
the plains of Garrett. The water is
as pure as ever ran. The land will
grow nearly all fruits and vegetables
and of flavor that is eXcelled no
where. 1t is rare to see a faulty apple or
potato. Pears and plums grow to
perfection. The land when tanned
produces excellent wheat and corn.
The grazing is as good, if not bet
ter, than can be found in any other
county in the State, or il any other
Eastern State. 1t is first-class for all
kinds of stock-raising; bees do splen-
didly; the sugar maple grows to per
fection, also buckwheat. Buckwheat
cakes, with honey, maple syrup and
mountain butter, cream and milk
would tempt the gods, and none need
wonder at Garrett county becoming
popular for residents, tourists, or
health-seekers. The scenery is grand
The mountain lakes afford grand op-
portunity for sport. Garrett need
only be visited to satisfy one that it
is "on top" 1t is the upper story in
many respects.
TO all OF which we say amen.
