MRS, BESANT's LECTURE.
She DiscOurses ON the Nature of EVIL
and Happiness.

Mrs. Annie Besant delivered her second
lecture of the present course in Washing
ton last evening at Masonic Temple, the
subject being Suffering and Evil; Their
Cause and Cure" There was, as on the
previous evening. a large audience present,
who displayed the most profound interest
throughout the discourse. Mrs. Besant de-
lineated the distinction between evil and
happiness. She said that man invariably
seeks the forms of things rather than the
spiritual originals that lie behind them.
The forms of happiness and evil fill the
world of life The office of evil is to afford
a comparison for happiness, which man is
constantly seeking as the object worthy of
his nature.

A HEAVY BLOW.
The Wind Swept Up the Valley Yesterday at
a Gale Rate.

1t is blessing most decidedly that
there was no dust to fly, yesterday, and
the morning torrents was all that saved
the earth from blowing about to the
pain of our eyes not to mention the in
convenience and annoyance, indoors rs
well as out
a heavy" wind. 1t was forcibe and
as ii bore down the valley, one could
feel the weight of it in no uncertain
measures.
The river was a truly remarkable
sight. The wind was dead against the
tide which made the sea choppy and
the river was a line of foam. tossed ana
torn about as the black flaws hurried
over it-black from the reelection of the
dark clouds that came hurrying up
from the south.
The day was far from comfortable
One who exercised any became aware
of that in short order. The air was
laden with moisture and straw hats as
well as humanity wiited. Many a
woman bewailed the day she ever let
her hair grow and Aor comforts sake
most of them would have changed
over into bicycle boomers With little
urging.
The old wind was vicious. There was
no mistaking that. 1t blew the water
from the fountain into mist and the
young leaves in all their spring tender
ness were rudely torn from the limbs
and lawns were thickly in some places
thickly scattered with them.
In some places the boughs We're bent
far from their accustomed places over
the trolley wires and as a ear would
pass and catch them the sparks
would fly and give the poor things d
scorohES
1t would be interesting TO know the
velocity of that wind. 1t was certainly
high enough for any practical purpose.

BAND CONCERTS.
Propositions Made by the Augusta
Band for Summer Series.
One Concert Week Until October plan
Of Bard stand.

Through the generous efforts of Mai
or McGuinness who has taken the mat
| ter in charge. it certainly seems as If
| Augusta would have what il has not
had before for some years-a series Of
summer band concerts.
He has offered to furnish band
stand. and says that one is to be built
at once and placed in the park. 1t will
be serviceable one and will be in
keeping with the surroundings.
The band must do the rest, he saws.
That is, it lies with them to make
some arrangements whereby they may
come out of it whole" so to speak.
They like to play, but, it cannot be
expected of them to contribute musical
wind for the city's benefit without q
consideration.
Bandmaster Dennis accordingly has
made the following proposition which
certainly seems reasonable enough,
namely: That for 500 in cash and the
privilege of using City hall for four
evenings free of charge, for giving
promenade concerts for the band s
benefit, it will give one concert week
through the summer up to October t.
Mr. Dennis says the location is imma-
terial but, as far as that is concerned.
it is practically settled by the location
of the bandstand at Monument park
perintendent Williams says. stands
ready to do all it can to help the affair
along, ana will furnish lights free OF
charge for the musicians.
The first of the series will be given on
the Cony house balcony, Proprietor
Randall having offered the use of it for
the occasion. By the week following.
Major MeGuinness says that the band
stand will undoubtedly be ready.
The lively music of the band viii add
a great joy TO our summer. The place
chosen is perfect one. There are
many approaches, no less than five
streets converging at the park. There
will be abundant opportunity for
strolls along the way, as the music
sounds abroad upon the still night air.
OF course there is that 800 to come
from somewhere. Major McGuinness
will be most happy at any time to re-
ceive contributions. II is, for a fact
rdiculously cheap, and everybody that
feels so disposed ought to make it a
point to send him their contributions
and help along the movement.
