Mr.. Larkins is foreman OF the depart

As soon as the field commenced to

The special evangelIstlc meeting for
young people. at the Fourth street
Methodist Episcopal church last night,
was the most successful of any OF the
meetings since the revival beSan. Tho
ihurch was far too small for the
crowds that came, and probably as
many were turned away as found room
inside. The a!sles were thronged, and
every Inch OF space was taken up By a
large assemblagc, which listened
throughout closely to the interesting
service.
The meeting began at $ o'clock. \
big crowd being expected, the doors
were opened att o'clock, and 1t was but
short time until the church was I'LL
cd. The people who came later lined
up along the walls, and when the meet
ms opened the jam was SO great that
Il seemed as II another person couldn't
be packed In. Among those seated on
the platform neac the pulpit were the
following minister's: Rev. DR.. sooy,pas-
tor OF Fourth Street ". {. church; Rev.
DR.. Moore, presiding elder of Wheeling
district; Rev. C. B. Graham. OF North
Street ". E. church; Rev. u. B. Evans.
OF Zane Street church. and Rev. c. e.

The volunteer choir under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. Hills, who assists Evange-
list Ostrom, did efficient work In the
singing part Of the meeting, and Mr..
Hills solo, "I'll Go Where You Want
Me TO Co." was gem. The address by
Mr.. Ostrom concluded the exercises.

MUSICAL WHEELING.

stNEthelbert Nevin, composer and artist,
Miss Genevieve Weaver. soprano, and
Mr. Francis Rogers, baritone. gave last
evening the most poetic and artistic
musical performance heard in Wheeling
for years. at the Opera House, to an
audience which, in quality. was the
highest tribute Wheeling could have
paid, and Its rapturous applause forcibly
demonstrated the fact that the tribute
was deserved.
Every detail OF the entertainment, the
fine piano, the quiet, we!l-bred entrance
OF the performers, the dignified and
courteous dencanor on the stage, all
gave token that the entertainment, not
alone in the Nevin music, with which all
are, familiar, but In every otker sense
would he the essence OF innate refine
ment. The magnetism OF those on the
stage toward those in the auditorium
made the resemblance to a drawing
room assembly, very marked and the an
1ormality occasloned thereby, makes the

portray ed herewith. Girdliug should
be done about four weeks in advance
of the usual time of ripening. The ef-
feet is to cause rapid increase in the
size of the fruit and hasten its matur-
ity from ten to fifteen days.
In a series of experiments made al
the Massachusetts agricultural college
it was found that the quality of fruit
was not injured by the girdling nor
could any peTceptible injury be discov-
cred to the vine. The ring of bark may
be removed rapidly with knife made
for the purpose. The use of strings or
wires twisted tightly around the canes
will probably answer the same purpose
as the removal of the ring of bark.
Only those canes that are to be cut
away entirely at the end of the season
should be girdled. The cane is girdled
at A and after fruiting is cut back to E,
leaving two cones &c and d. for,the con-
tinuation of the treatment. The cane
OBJ is to be cut back to one or two buds
at the fall or winter pruning.-Farm and

TRUE TO HIS FIRST LOVE,
She Could Not Marry Him, But He
Kept Her Image Ever
Before Him.

The heroine of this tale, who was
young some 20 years or more ago, was
the daughter of wealthy man, who
desired her, true story-book fashion,
to make brilliant marriage. The
daughter, equally in story-book fash
ion, had given her heart to poor
but worthy young man, and the
father refused to give his consent to
their union. The daughter would not
marry the man against her fathers
will, but promised her lover that she
would at least marry no one else.
Time passed, and at intervals the
young man renewed his suit, but al
ways received the same answer; the
girl loved him, but she would not mar
ry without her fathers consent and
leave him alone.
In the meantime the man had gone
to Canada and made some money. He
was still faithful to his old love, and
after acquiring a considerable fortune
he returned yet again tc urge his lady
love to go back with him, but without
avail. Finally there came last APP
peal. He wrote that he was growing
old; he felt that he needed home.
He declared his love again, but said
that If his old sweetheart would not
marry him now he must marry anoth-
er woman. Again he was refused and
this time he married.
BY correspondence the wife and the
old love were made acquainted, and
became on paper very good friends.
Then the woman in America felt de-
sire to visit her one-time lover and
made the trip to Canada and was
warmly welcomed. The house was
attractive and everything about it was
pleasant, but what was the surprise
of the visitor to see hanging in a con-
spicuous place on the walls of one of
the principal rooms, her own por-
train. Y. Times.
