Mrs. Fairweather's Entertaining
Lecture Last Evening.

/ Under the ausoices of the Sacramento
Lecture Association Mrs. Henri Fair
weather last night delivered a lecture at
! the Congregational Church, taking for
her subject "Parsival."
1 Almost every seat in the church was
filled, and the closest attention was
given to the lecturer as she unrolled her
theme and led her hearers through the
subtle maZes of her subject.
| She first spoke of Wagner and his mar
yelous genius, and dwelt upon the meth
DDS used by the musician of musicians to
attain the end aimed at. She told how
/ he conceived his ideas which revou-
! tionized the musical world and what
small credit he at that time received for
his pains. While the world applauded
talent until it was hoarse, very little
applause was contributed to the genius
of the great musician. Wagner, she
said, enlarged his realm, and was made
to suffer for so doing.
Mrs. F'airweather spoke of the opera
and the reign of the singer, and as q
bit of history related that the singer
was first the actor second, and the sub
ject-nothing. Each leading voice had
its part to play, the bass going into a
rage, the tenor singing of joy, the con-
tralto of jealousy, all in the same stage
setting, and all without cause.
Wagner, she said, crossed the tradi-
ton of his realm and made his music
mean something. Heeit was who made
the music move hand in hand with the
story, and brought the opera up until
the orchestra played an equally impor-
tant part with the singer.
The lecturer then took up the story of
"Parsival," and showed how nearly it
was connected with that of the Holy
Grail.'' She explained that the legends,
woven together, We're entirely SYMBOL
cal, and We're nearly synonymous with
those Of Masonry.
Mrs Fairweather told how Wagner in
1877 gathered the legends and from the
Holy Grail - "Tannhauser, The Holy
Spear" and others evolved ''Parsival," >"
which he two years later set to music.
The story, as told in Mrs. Fairweath-
ers inimitable style. was in itself pic
ture and her points We're generously ap-

NO PLAYS TO The GALLERY.
THE GRAND JURY COMPLETES
ITS WORK.
They Found Much to Commend IN
Officials, and Little to
Complain OF.

The Grand Jury completed IT'S WORK
yesterday and filed it's report in Judge
Johnson's court, together with that or
Expert Love, who examined the poohs
and accounts of the various depart
ments.
Unlike many reports heretofore filed
by Grand Juries, this one is not devoted
to wholesale denunciation OF ofnclalS,
or insinuations of dishonesty. On the
contrary, the Grand Jury finds that the
affairs of the county are being EN-
GENTLY and honestly administered, ana
its members have the courage to say
SO. It is quite evident that none OIL
them had political capital to make, nor
enemies to kill off, but that they were
disposed to treat all persons fairly.
The exrert found few trif1ing errors
in the accounts of some of the officials
and in some cases-notably that CT
Sheriff Johnson-the difference was in
favor of the county. The report is
devoted to a financial statement, ex-
clusively, the chief features of whicn
are contained in the report proper,
which is given below:
The Grand Jury was composed OF III
Fay, George w. Foulks, Fred S. Hotch-
kiss, Daniel Donahue, S. H. Davis, e.
H Cummings, William Ingram, Jr., ID.
H. Grace, Ira A. Robie, Dennis Dalton,
William j. Smith, William Turton, L.

RELIEF IN THE GRAVE.
Grief Caused Miss Johanna Nc
Carly to End Her Life.

The name Of the young woman who
committed suicide near Grand Island
on Wednesday was not Clark. as stat
ed yesterday. but Johanna MeCarty.
The cause which led Miss McCarty to
end her life was grief over the death
Of her sister Minnie, which occurred
two months ago The sisters were
deeply attached to one another. and
the strain was so great that the ner-
vous system Of the survivor WAS shat
tered and she could not be eomforted.
Therefore she sought relief by ending
her life in the hope OF joining her be-
loved sister in the other world.
The deceased leaves two brothers
and a sister-James and John McCarty
and Mrs. Francis OF Grand Island

TOO OFFICIOUS.
How a Runaway Horse Was Aided
in Making Trouble.

A horse attached to buggy took
fright in the vicinity of Ninth and j
streets yesterday afternoon and ran
down that thoroughfare.
At Sixth street it slackened its pace to
a trot and would have stopped had not
colored man in a horse light wa
gon started out In a mad attempt to
head off the runaway.
The mans gathering wagon again
started the runaway, but its pace was
not so terrific as that of the animal he
was driving. and between Third and
Fourth streets he succeeded in crowding
the loose horse onto the sidewalk, where
it stood and kicked until it had made
kindling wood out of the buggy.
Those who saw the maneuyer were
loud in the assertion that he occasioned
much more danger to pedestrians and
passing vehicles than did the runaway,
which it is said would have stopped of
it's own accord had not he given it an ad
ditional scare.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains
like rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an experiment 1 finally bought a 80
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings. no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between ten and twelve pounds
in weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet / consider them q most valuable
addition to any physicians line of REM
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or inva-
lids or in any condition Of the stomach
with perfect safety, being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and golden
seal
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
ton, biliousness, constipation and al
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists everywhere at 80 cents
for full-sized package.

SOCIAL EVENTS.

A very pretty and quiet wedding took
place at No. 1412 K street yesterday,
the participants being George w. Vice
and Miss Edith S. Meiss. The bride
was attended by Miss Mignon Meiss,
and the groom by William J. Feather
ston. They received many beautiful
and costly wedding presents. The eere-
mony was performed by Rev. w. s..
HCskinson of the English Lutheran
Church. There was an elegant repast
prepared for the guests who We're prop
erly entertained until the departure OF
the bride and groom, who left on the )
o'clock train for San Francisco, whence
they will go to Monterey to spend a
few weeks in the enjoyment of their
honeymoon. On their return they will
receive their friends at their new home
in this city. Invitations will follow
after their return. A large number
of friends of the bride and groom as
sembled at the depot to see them off,
and there was a shower of rice that
rivaled the rainstorm of the afternoon.
The genial druggist at Twentieth and
] streets, having many reasons for re-
joicing, on Tuesday evening concluded
to show his life partner that he fully
appreciated her good and noble quail
ties by making her present of hand
some gold watch. Wishing to do this
by surprise, he put the matter into the
hands of an intimate lady friend, who
conceived the idea of also springing a
surprise on Mr.. Baker by having the
guests go in masquerade, representing
as nearly as possible the dusky sons
and daughters of the South. The even
ing entertainment consisted of the cake
walk; awarding Of the prize to the
best-looking black man; presentation
of the package containing the present,
and the search for it by Mrs. Baker,
whose surprise and pleasure was great;
singing by Mr.. and Mrs. BeHhouse. and
a recitation by Mrs. Jackson. Then
came the refreshments, after which the
evening was given over to social en-
joyments of all kinds, dancing includ-
ed. Mrs. Woods gave the party much
pleasure by her performance on the
piano. Mr.. Baker also added much to
the entertainment with his violin for
the dances. This enjoyable social af-
fair was brought to a close soon after
midnight by giving three cheers for the
host and hostess, George Washington,
the social gathering. ETC. All went home
firm IN the belief that they never had
a better time than at the surprise
party on Mr. and Mrs. Baker

We found that the new Mayor of the
