The schoolma'am smiled for the first

A moment later the girls came hurry

exercise in the open air, and quietly
took their seats. The majority of the
boys did the same, but bringing up the

boys, scuff1ing and showing each other

But Master Crane, thick-set, bullet
headed youth of 1e, was very busy with
his books just then, and apparently
failed to hear the teachers command.

feet, with flushed face and eyes blazing
with indignation.

ties OF opinion III regard &c music, 1t
seems to me that the general spirit of
the word of God indicates what ought
to be the great characteristics of church
music.
And ! remark, in the first. place, n
prominent characteristic ought to be
adaptiveness to devotion. Music that
may be appropriate for concert hall.
or the opera house, or the drawing
room, may be inappropriate in church.
Glees, madrigals, ballads, may be as
innocent as psalms in their places. But
church music has only one design, and
that is devotion, and that which comes
with the toss. the swing and the display
of an opera house is n hindrance TO the
worship. From such performances we
go away saying: What splendid execu-
ton! Did you ever hear such soprano?
Which of those solos did you like the
better?" When, if we had been rightly
wrought upon, we would have gone
away saying: "Oh. how my soul was
lifted up in the presence of God while
they were singing that first hymn. |
never had such rapturous views of
Jesus Christ as my Saviour as when they
were singing that las. doxology."
My friend, there is an everlasting dis
tinction between music as an art ard

t.rt played it, though Sonttg sang it,

An English magazine complains that
machinery has not helped the writer,
while it has helped every other kind
of man. The writer still has labori-
ously to grind out his thoughts by the
pen or pencil, OF at best by the type
writer, which is only one remove from
them. The manufacturer turns out
his millions Of articles where he for
merly turned out his tens, and his
wealth is increased in tremendous de-
gree. The manufacturer stands in his
Office. and almost beneath his eyes the
raw material is turned into the finished
product by the magic Of machinery.

Mr.. Plant had not been sick since
last November, when, on returning
from a trip from Florida, he was sud

Jersey City railway station at which
time his life was departed Of, but
he revived and went back to Florida,

Brief sketch Of His Lie.

Mr.. Plant was o native OF Connectl-
cut, and was born at Branford on
October 9th, 1919. He came of q
long line of Puritan ancestors, and
among the forefathers were men who
fought for the independence of the
country in which they all became fac
tors more or less prominent during
their days.
His ancestry came from England in
1889, and nearly everyone occupied
some position of honor and trust. On
/ his grandmother's side he was descend
ed from Joseph Frisbee, VINO was q
major in Washington's army, the same
family that gave Harvard its profes
sor, Levi Frisbee. Through the Fris
bees he was related to Sir William Pep
perell, Bart, and the same strain gave
him kinship with the late Sen
ator Hoar, whose middle name wa
Frisbee. Like the maternal side 0
his house, Mr.. Plants paternal ances
try figured prominently wherever the,
were known.
For over two hundred years tn
Plants resided at Branford, and on th
lands which were given them by tn
crown their descendants still reside
and all, like the late railroad king, al
men prominent in the section Of til
country in which they reside. M
Plants father died while he was qui
young, and at the time Of that deaf

HILL TO SUPPORT BRYAN.
IFrom the New York Tribune. ]

LFrom the New York Tribune.1
David B. Hill is said to be ready to
climb upon the band wagon at last. De-
feated in his attempt to control the
state committee, and finding that Ell
iot DanfOrth, John Stanch6eld, George
Palmer, Norman E Mack, John F. Gay
nor and nearly all of his Old-time al
lies and trusted lieutenantS were going
in with Mr.. Croker to support Bryan,
he felt that the time to ahdicate had
arrived, and his surrender is said to be
complete Norman E. Mack and Elliot
DanfOrth have both been quoted as say
ing that Mr.. Hill is ready to fall in with
Bryan and support him next year and
Mr.. Hill hasn't denied it. Mr.. Hill, 50
his friends say, sees that everything is
going Mr. Bryan's way, and that if he
doesn't get into line pretty soon the
procession will be so far past that he
viii never be able to catch up to it.
While Mr. DanfOrth doesn't say so. he
taeitly admits that free silver will be
subOrdinated as an issue next year, and
added:
IF the fight is against imperialism
and trusts, as seems likely, then Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Croker will be found fight
ing side by side with a united Demo-
cratic party behind them. think we
are all agreed upon what the issues
shall be. The Republican party has fur
nished US with them, and I don't think
the Republicans will be able to stand
successfully upon their record The
Democrats of this state will be united
next year as they have not been since
1892. This is neither a Hill nor q
Croker victory, but an indication that
all Democrats in the city and state are
going to work in harmony
Mr. DanfOrth said that before Mr..
Croker sailed for Europe he had agreed
with Mr.. Hill upon the election of DR..
Barnes, of Schuyler county, to lead the
minority in the assembly.
