HOW REV. 0. A. Crane
DESCRIBED SEMBRICK.

Rev. C. A. Crane, pastor of the Sara
toga Street NJ e. church of Boston,
says that he has been to heaven for a
few minutes. even if he never goes
there again. In other words, it is his
way of telling the newspapers that he
heard Madame sembrlch sing. And
his description certainly has the merit
Of novelty
Il hardly expected so much as 1 sat
in the plain old barn which we cour
teously call Music hall. Huge-hatted
women and bushy- headed men and an
hour and a half of bad manners, dis
played by people standing in the aisles
did not prevent me from revealing in
music, not almost, but actually divine,
if 1 know anything divine when 1 meet
it. Today l attended symphony con-
cert. and although I have heard some
music in my time, I have never heard
anything that could be compared with
that which came from the throat of
Sembrich The orchestra was all that
mortal needed, but when she began to
sing, that splendid body of musicians
faded from the vision; in fact all
things grew dim, luxurious weights
pulled down the blinds Of my eyes, and
a vision of heaven poured through my
soul. The rhythmic rise and fall of
the bows seemed like the spear points

With Seasonable Goods.
]. H. Clarke & Co.'S store has been
fitted with fixtures of modern pattern,
and the store is one of the most at
tractive along Main street. In place
of the long counter which filled the cen
tire of the floor space, three depart
ments have been made by glass front
triangular counters of solid oak.
Every arrangement had been made
yesterday to receive the first influx of
holiday buyers, and many favorable
comments were heard upon the bust
ness enterprise of this reliable com
pany. During the holiday season, the
centre counters are covered with sea-
sonable. reasonable, and useful pres
ents. There is nothing savoring of left
overs in the goods shown by the firm.
Goods for the holiday season are
bought each year, and the stock is
closed out before any article loses it's
fresh appearance.
One of the most alluring sights to the
holiday purchaser is a display of ebony
goods, manicure sets, collar and cuff
and handkerchief boxes. Handsome
shaving sets Of every pattern from one
Of the displays There are numerous
novelties in fancy leather goods. Rich
seal covered writing tablets for trav-
eller. student, and home use, are shown
in endless variety.
Special displays are made of cut
glass ware with sterling silver mount
ings, jewelry cases, ink stands, writing
sets, bag tops, mounted etchings, gold
pens, hand painted photograph cases,
choice perfumery, pin cushions, silk and
linen handkerchiefs, silk scarfs for la

of some heavenly army marching to
music which was holding the multi
tude helpless.
THE singing-well, I have just re-
turned from my dictionary, and find
it poverty stricken-T thought that
had Shakspere on my tongues end,
but he. too. is dumb and refuses to fur
nish me with words with which to tell
the story of that music-and all the
lesser lights which shine in best ex-
preston seem to have been stricken
blind. None but a god could write
that music-those tones, 1 mean. The
liquid melody melted my heart within
me like wax in the midst Of my bowels.
The dreams of glory which once haunt
ed my youthful mind We're turned to
sounds so sweet that I almost caught
up with Paul in his seventh heaven.
The gorgeous sunsets had seen in the
Colorado mountains turned to tones
that felt as purple and gold feel to
the eye. The stringed instruments
and the brass and the wood all seemed
ashamed and fell back in a glorious
retreat to give way to the superior mu-
sic Of the human voice.

the stronghold of Mormonism. If
man or woman believes in the existenc
of customs which are more Gentle in
nature than practiced in Salt Lake
City, no explanation is given. The
sole aim is to get men, and more es-
pecially women, to the tabernacle. and
later into the routine of Mormon life
and faith.
When I was in Salt Lake City. the
service in the tabernacle was adver-
tised as an unusually important and
interesting one. Missionaries were sup
posed to report the result of their tour
for converts. When it became known
to the elders that there were 200 mem
bers of the Baptist denomination in the
city, and that many would visit the
tabernacle, there was change in pro-
gram.
Il, with scores of other Gentiles, at
tended the services, and there was no
paries or reports. The
principal part of the services was an
address by the president of a Mormon
college. He was brilliant orator and
student of human nature. No men
ton was made Of plural marriage. He
dwelt upon the Mormon religion only as
one belief. BY his address no one
however opposed to Mormonisn, could

a MONUMENT TO BREWER
Postal Employees Propose to Perpet-
uate the Memory of the FIRST Agent
in Cuba

Postal Employees Propose to Perpet-
uate the Memory of the FIRST Agent
in Cuba.
A movement is on foot at the present
time to erect a monument to the mem
Dry of Eben Brewer, the first postal
employee in Cuba during the Spanish
American war, and yesterday copy
of the following communication was re-
ceived by Mark N. Skerrett, secretary
of the National United Association of
Post Office Clerks:
At the recent annual convention of
first class postmasters at Washington,
d. c., a resolution was adopted com
mending the erection of monument
to the memory Of the late Eben Brewer
the first United States postal agent in
Cuba during the Spanish-American
war, and who gave up his life in the
performance of his duties as such. Ac-
cordingly, a committee was appointed
to cooperate with committees from
other postal organizations for the pur-
pose of carrying into effect the object
referred to, composed of the following:
w. G. Edens, Chicago, chairman;
Isador Sobel, p M, Erie, Pa, secre-
tary; and c. c. Dewstoe, p. M, Cleve-
land, treasurer
In pursuance of the purpose we in
vite suggestions from your association
as to the best methods of carrying out
the purpose referred to, and request
the appointment of a committee and
the forwarding to us of the names and
addresses thereof; and any other refer
ence or action concerning the substance
or details of the matter presenting
themselves to you as helpful.
A letter similar to this has been adj
dressed to each of the several national
organizations of the postal service and
to the directors Of posts in Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Hawaii. and
it is hoped that by our joint efforts
prompt and efficient means will be de-
vised and adopted to carry out the will
of the several bodies.
One thing seems to have been agreed
upon by all who have expressed their
opinion on it, viz: that the funds for
the erection of the monument shall be
provided exclusively by the voluntary
contributions in small sums of every
officer and employee of the postal ser
vice of the United States government
To carry out the object proposed will
inevitably require a large amount of
correspondence and other labor and
will cover at best considerable length
of time We therefore request the

REMANDED TO CITY COURT.
John McKeRver Turned Over for
Shooting Not in His own Defense.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
the Recorder turned John McKeaver over
to the City Court for shooting not in his
own defense. The negro was arrested on
Tuesday last for taking couple of snap
shots at Mack Robinson.
Max Knight, John Wilson and Sam
Brown, three negro hoboes, were turned
over to the City Court for stealing ride
on a passenger train of the Florida Central
and Peninsular Railway.
The Recorder fined j. F. Perkins Sl5,
with the alternative of 20 days in jail, for
assaulting and beating c. j. Smith with a
pair of brass knucks. Perkins, who is a
member of the One Hundred and Sixty-first
Indiana, could not pay his fine and went to
Jail instead. Two or three hours after Per-
kins had been sent in, Smith was also ar
rested for being drunk and disorderly in
the bar of ]. w. Quick and for cursing
and abusing an officer. He got the same
sentence as did Perkins, but managed 10
find a friend with the money and paid the
fine.
Three violators of the ordinance prohib-
itng bicyclists riding on the streets after
dark and without a light, were assessed 81
each by the Recorder. OF late, fines for
this offense, which for a while had be-
come unknown, or at least unrecognized,
have become quite frequent
