NOCTURNE!.

White, white remember her,
While from her forehead to her feet!
The moonlight falling through the pane
Was not 20 white, was not 20 sweet.
She was 4 pool Of moonlight there
Between the window and the wall.
And the slow minutes bathed In her
And went away beyond recall.

MUSICAL MENTION.
JOHN RANDOLPH.

On Monday evening January 23rd,
the third Philharmonic Of the present
winter, was given at the Oliver theatre.
1t ia a pleasure to be able to record 30
highly creditable performance as was
this concert. Lighter in some respects
than usual, the program was not 80
popular as to be cheap, while it was
enough 80 to command the undivided
attention OF q good audience. I was
not able to be present until after the
conclusion of the first two numbers;
but in the part OF the program to which
I listened there was more certainty Of
attack, better information and noticeably,
a more ready response from the players
to the efforts of the conductor. There
have been times when Director Hage-
now has had the sympathy OF every
musician in the audience-times when
his artistic efforts were defeated by the
lack OF Elasticity OF the band. But in
this concert director and orchestra SEEM
ed to understand one another, and the
result was happy and harmonious one.
It would be possible to detect and point
out certain minor faults which in an
orchestra composed Of professional play.
ers would be less admissible-but when
the results were 80 pleasurable and with.
al 30 beneficial to the musical life of our
city, il would be an upgrateful task.
Mr.. Hagenow is to be congratulated
upon his success-a success not less
dear no doubt, because hardly earned at
the price Of arduous rehe arsal. Nor YVES
the director less felicitous in his selec-
ton Of soloists. Mr.. Will B. Richard
son, the first trombone player Of the
orchestra, was heard to much advantage
in the we'll known Evening Star selec.
ton from "Tannhaeuser," and az an
encore in ballad OF Arthur Sullivan.
Moreover, Mrs. E. Lewis Baker. another
Lincoln artist. was heard in the great
"Ah Peifido" aria from Beethoven. l
uee the term "artist' advisedly, for, bar.
ring certain peculiarties in tone produc.
ton from the physiological point Of
view, and in regard to which there is
room for difference OF opinion. Mrs.
Baker is a most finished and artistic
singer. Thie performer does not sing
like an amateur but like a professional
artist. Her temperament, dignity. re.
pose and other excellent qualities, com.
bined with admirable control OF the
technical resources OF large and reson
ant voice of agreeable quality, make her
easily one Of the foremost singers in the
state of Nebraska. Mrs. Baker was
heard later in group Of songs, accom-
panied at the pianoforte by Miss May
Belle Hagenow. and was compelled to
yield to the demand OF the audience for
encores. The program Of the concert is
appended as matter Of record.

l once watched a monkey, which had
a baby in arms, being fed with grapes,
The youngster was most anxious to
have a grape, but his mother, being
either too selfish to allow him TO share

be good for her sons juvenile digestive

any and boxed his cara soundly for be-

to obtain some on his " account and
several times escaped from her arms
and began TO climb the wire netting in

hauled hack by tho tail AT length he

BELATED REVOLT.

Simeon Walker sat on the top rail
or the fence. He had stopped there in
the act OF getting over. His rubber
booted legs were tired, so he rested
n roasted there.
Inc snow was a foot deep on the
ieVel, and in places it was over the
stone walls. Simeon's tracks trailed
on across the field behind him. He
mad come that way because it was
nearer, but when he had gone half the
distance he regretted it, and was
tempted to retrace his steps and go by
the road. After standing still and re-
Meeting for some little time, he had
decided to continue.
When he reached the fence he was
glad he had taken the field, otherwise
there would have been no excuse for
resting on the top rail of the fence.
he had a shovel with him and was
going a mile up the road to help dig
out a drifted place.
Simeon sat on the fence till he began
TO be a little chilly; whereupon he con-
Guided that he was rested enough, and
Jumped down on the other side, into
the road.
He had covered nearly half the dis
lance to the place where he was 10
work, when he stopped suddenly in
front of the schoolhouse.
"T1me-nation!" he calculated under
MS breath. He was staring at a woman
VINO was making strenuous efforts to

Don't some of the big boys dig the

"Yes." she remarked, "but they are

AN MAN.

The progressive corporation of Bath
has just placed a commemorative
tablet upon the house in Lansdown
crescent once occupied by William
Rockford, one Of the %strangest charac-
tiers who ever spent his declining years
in the renowned English city of the
hot springs. His tomb and monument
are such conspicuous objects on the
heights Of Lansdown and the most
casual visitor can hardly avoid becom-
ing familiar with some of the eccen-
tricities of this great dilettante.
Bedford, who is best known as the
author of the Arabian tale "Vathek"
written in n sitting Of three days
and two nights, claimed descent from
the Saxon kings. He inherited vast
wealth and expended 1t in the most
lavish fashion, building a wonderful
house at Fonthill, in Wiltshire, which
cost owe a million. Presently the evil
days came-vast sums lost in Jamaica
through depreciation in the value of
his estates and lawsuits resulting
therefrom led Beckford to sell Fonthill
at a ridiculous price and to retire to
Bath broken in health and fortune.
Here he spent the rest of his days a
recluse, shut up with his books and
fancies. One commodious house would
not suffice. to hold his treasures. so
on either side were purchased, n be-
ing connected with a covered way on
the second floor, which can still BIO
seen. His passion for building unas-
suaged, Beckford erected a great tower
on the hill a mile above his house
wherein to study, and when he died his
remains were laid above the ground at
the foot in a granite sarcophagus
which was prepared during his life
time. The property was then sold for
a tea garden, but his daughter, the
duchess of Hamilton, repurchased 1t
and to save it from dissertation gave it
to the rector of Walcot as a cemetery.
The tower has just been repaired and
it is once more possible to enjoy the
wonderful view from the summit,
which is $50 feet above sea level.

Cold Cannot XIII Bacteria.

Ravenel, the scientist, has taken
various forms of heterogeneous,
such as anthrax spores dried on silk
threads, recently grown cultures OF
diphtheria on blood serum and cultures
OF the typhoid fever bacillus and the
bacillus p~rodigiosus (the three latter;
organisms also placed on silk threads;
before exposure, some of the threads
being allowed to remain moist), and
exposed them to liquid air, which has.
a temperature Of IL degrees Fahrenheit!
below zero. The time of exposure
varied from one minute to three hours;
for the anthrax spores, and for briefer.
maximum periods for the other micro
organisms. In no case were the bac-
terra killed, and Ravenel believes that
cold cannot be relied upon as a disin-
fectant.
