END OF A SAD LIFE.
Joseph Font Would Not Live with

New York, March 26.-Lonely. sick and
hopeless, deprived Of the loving influence
of the woman whose life work If had

pneumonia al Hahnemann Hospital three
weeks ago. Yesterday a great crowd of
the riverside poor surrounded the house
in which lay Fonts body. The poor had

sickness, had been her almoner and af-

The sentence was finally committed to
imprisonment for life. Two years later

district the alleged murder occurred died
and in his papers an affidavit was found
in which the captain declared he had very
grave doubts of Fonts guilt. Other facts
were brought to light and Font was par

He left the penitentiary a broken and
hopeless man. His old associates Stunned

A HISTORIC PARROT DEAD.

New York. March 26.-A parrot with a
checkered career, covering about thirty
six years, died yesterday in Clifton.
years been the companion Of two wealthy
bachelors. and was once the cause Of a
dispute between them.
The bird was an ordinary parrot. 1t
was originally owned by General Harvey
Brown, who was the junior commandment
at Fort Sumter. When the fort was
shelled by the rebels. the bird was with
in ITS walls and was carried away on its
evacuation by its owner. General Brown
sent it to his home in Fort Wadsworth.
and on his return from the war present
ed il to County Treasurer James Robin
son. Mir. Robinson lived in bachelor
quarters in Ames Street. Clifton. with
William Parkinson. a real estate dealer.
The latter took such liking for the par
rot that Mr.. Robinson gave il 10 him.
The bird in time became an accom-
plished talker. About fifteen years ago
the men, who had been chums from boy
hood, quarreled over the parrot Mr..
Robinson insisted that il be sent away,
while Parkinson chung to Il. II ended in
Mr.. Robinson deserving his companion.
and he remained in a hotel in this city
for five years before he could be induced
to return.
Recently the parrot became i'll, due no
doubt to its age. Its feathers had fallen
out until it was almost naked and it was
too old to grow another crop. The bird
caught cold. and the bachelors had a
room fixed up and the window sasheS
sealed. TIE bird grew rapidly worse and
on Thursday night died. Yesterday Mr..
Parkinson had it photographed and
turned it over to Adolph Schuster. an I'M
dertaker at StapletOn. with orders to en-
balm it and prepare a miniature coffin.
The bird will be buried in a pink coffin
with green satin lining.

Monogram Sentiment.

A fancy that prevails just at present
among sweethearts and very young mar
ried people is that of having monographs
upon every available article wrought in
gold or silver. The monogram cunning
ly implies "A confession. it is made of
the intertwined initials of Ibis first
name with her" first name.
Lads in their verdant youth set the
fashion of ordering these monogram love
tokens. to be cut from a piece of fine
metal by the very best goldsmith. and
lassies in their salad days have frank
ly fastened the said tokens conspicuously
upon card cases, hand satchels, purses
and even belts. The fashion has been
tamely followed by older men and wo-
men.

A SERIOUS ACCUSATION.

New York. March 26.-Dr. ]. T. Dur

Kings County Hospital. has made charg-
es of inhumanity against the authorities
of the Brooklyn Hospital in letter to
Charities Commissioner Simis. The letter
said:

admitted to this hospital today at II 80

her death occurred at 2:30 p m. thres
hours after admission. She was brought

was in critical condition when she left
the Brooklyn Hospital.
'It is. in my opinion. most inhumane
for any hospital authority to allow a pa.

A Lecture Before the Brook.
Ign Ethical Association.
Songs Intended 10 T,pify the SEN
timents Created by the Six Sea-
SONS OF the Indinn Year.

At a members meeting OF the Brooklyn
Ethical Association Mrs. Benjamin A.
Harnett. who has been giving a series
of lectures in this country founded upon
her life in India, read a very interesting
paper on Music and Drama in India 8"
This was illustrated by number of
charts showing the method of musical
composition among the Hindoos
During her remarks Mrs. Harnett said :
THE Western idea is that Hindoos do
not understand music at ALL We have
come to the conclusion however, that
music. like beauty, is only an outcome Of
custom. Like everything else in India
music is designed to appeal TO the soul.
Their songs are divided and set apart TO
celebrate the six seasons OF the year.
and they adapt their music to the several
changes of the season. Even the differ
ent times of the day are considered. and
the rendering If the songs is changed
to suit the hour. All pieces of music
written in India typify the different SEN
timents created by the seasons and the
music is usually preceded by a picture
spoken in illustration of the particular
god or goddess to he worshiped. The In
dian says that each soul is attuned to "A

Indian music has very little harmony to
the Western ear They have two classes
of music-the classic and the religious.

latter they call n divine voice and Is

them "a note can be held in perfect tone
for twenty minutes. 1t has most
wonderful effect. The Hindoo ear de-
tects any variance in the tone and they
are very much incensed when the tone Is
not maintained. They say the Euro

these seemingly ignorant people able TO

and their history, This is wholly due TO
