"ELIJAH."
Grand Old 0ratorio
Was Sung by Akron S
Magnificent Chorus,
Assisted by SoIoists of
Marked Talent.
An Audience That CompI eteIy
Filled the Church
Held SpelIbound by Inspiring Music
Excellent Director.

The "Elijah," by many considered
the finest of all the oratorios, was
supcrbly given last night by the Ties
day Musical club, before an audience
which filled the Methodist church to
overilowing. The club was assisted
by the Pittsburg orchestra and by the
best soloists to be had in the country.
The magnificent choruses were Civ
en- with all the varying shades of
feeling from the quiet beauty of He,
Watching Over Israel" and the gran
duer and breadth of ''Ihanks be to
God" to the dramatic intensity of the
Behold God the Lord Passeth By"
Miss Clark, from Boston, has a So
prano voice of great power as well as
beauty of tone. She sang the part of
the widow with deep feeling and her
Interpretation of Hear Yc Israeli
was most beautiful.
Mrs. Seiberling sang well as she al
ways does, and all enjoyed her singing
of 80, Rest in the Lord"
DR.. Pierce sang his beautiful arias
with wonderful sweetness and purity
of tone no less than with deep feeling.
Max Heinrich, the people of Akron
know and enjoy ,and it was a great
treat to hear him in his greatest role,
One felt the character of elijah"
through all his singing and all the
dramatic power of the part. Mr..
Heinrich was in splendid voice ana ev-
cry tone was full and round.
Mrs. Marvin and Miss Stuver sang
well and the quartettes wore we'll Civ
en-. a''l
Miss Storcr has certainly done q
marvellous work in training the large
chorus so well. Few women, IL any
have attempted and succeeded In con
ducting large chorus and orchestra
as she did last night.
The sololsts, who assisted last nigh
were as follows:
Miss Caroline Gardner Clarke ,sopra
no; Mrs. Il. A. Seiberling, contralto;Dr
Norval ii. Pierce, tenor; Mr.. Ma,
Heinrich, bass; and Mrs. ID. Il. Marvin
soprano: Miss Elsie Stuver, contralto
Mr.. T.. A. Upham, tenor; Mr.. @. w

GOOD WORDS
For an Akron Boy Who Died Lasl
Monday.

The telephone from Akron brought
the sad news of the death of Henry
A. Heller, aged 10 years, only son of
Mr.. aud Mrs, Charles Heller, of this
place, says the Fulton Signal. He
contracted n severe cold two weeks
ago which terminated in diphtheria.
All that kind friends and medical skill
could do was done to save his life,
but of no avail. Henry was good
boy While a scholar in the public
school at this place, he had the respect
Of the teachers and his schoolmates
and his manly conduct won him
friends. His remains We're brought
TO this place Tuesday afternoon, In ~
sealed casket, and laid to rest In the
Union cemetery. His bereaved par
ents have the sympathy Of the COM
munity in their sad affliction.

Louisville, Ky, Feb. 22.-(Spl) This

looked up the three soldiers in the
window drew back the rifle. 1t wne

One Reason Why.

'I'm not surprised" remarked the
debonair dry goods drummer, "that
those people down in Kentucky don't
drink any more water than they do. l
have just heard from customer of
mine in Eminence, pleasant town not
far from Louisville, that well-known
citizen there, who has been troubled
for long time with hacking cough,
had a severe spell of coughing the other
day and raised two square blocks of
some kind Of hard substance. His son
sent them down to Louisville chemist,
who reported that they were blocks of
limestone, caused by the limestone wa
ter the cougher had been drinking. l
may add that the cough doesn't trouble
him any more, but just think of the la
bility man Is subjected to down there
of having his bronchial tubes and his
alimentary canal macadamized from
Dan to Beersheeba. I'd rather drink
moonshine than run such a risk as that.

arranged as to be capable of being
opened to allow the contents to fall.
The front is flexible curtain, extend
ing from the top to the gate, and de-
signed to prevent the earth within from
being seen. The receptacle is filed
with earth previous to the ceremony
and carried to convenient point. When
all IS over and the grave is to be filed.
the receptacle is placed over it, and the
gates opened. thus gently closing the

manner than the seemingly cold-heart-

Should it be rule of life TO get all
you can, or to give all you can? That
question is just now under discussion.
Well, how much can one give unless he
first gets? The men who are laying
thousands or millions on the affairs Of
education, humanity or religion have
generally been successful as captains
of industry, princes Of commerce, or
leaders of large business enterprises.
Possibly also their chief benefaction
has consisted in creating profitable en-
ployment-which is a kindpf giving
especially If they have been just and
considerate in their dealings, and have
paid fair wages. To get honestly is
quite as legitimate as to give generous
ly, and ought to take equal rank.

There are tricks in all trades" is
an adage that is year by year becoming
more out of date. And for two reasons.
Business men more and more generally
are coming to recognize the truth of the
proverb, Honesty is the best policy"
Greater and ever greater is the number
of concerns doing business on the merit
OF its products or merchandise. Pos
sibly the subtle influence of the depart
ment store is here. traceable-the en-
forcement Of the money back-if-you-
want-it' policy. Again. retail mer-
chants cannot be deceived or fooled,
as IN the good old days. Competition
has forced them out of the old, easy
going rut. They take nothing on trust.
Quality, cost and all other factors of
value are relentlessly sifted. The buy
er, except in rare instances where style
enters largely into the question of price,
Is apt to know pretty nearly as well
as the seller what the merchandise

An intelligent master printer Is
quoted as saying to tie men Of his own
trade, whether we wish it or not, the
eight-hour day is bound to come; and
instead of wasting our strength in vain
resistance we shall find it wiser to con-
slider how we can adjust our business
to the inevitable change" Without
accepting or rejecting this prophecy,
we may say with truth that the pres
ent agitation seems to follow In the
track of the movement of sixty years
ago, which reduced the working day
from twelve or more hours to ten. It
is urged by the same reasons; it is met
by the same objections; it wins by the
same zigzag advances. In eight States
there has already been friendly legis-
lation; in Boston and Worcester it has
been approved by popular suffrage as a
standard for all city employees. 1t is
for the interest of both capital and la
Dor that so serious change should be
made-if it Is to be made at all-with
the least possible disturbance to bust

Rowley's drug store in t, Kan, and
as it proved convenient to loungers it

One day farmer in from the country

The strawberry.

When it is considered how easy it IS
to grow the strawberry and what
delicious and healthful article OF food
it is, the wonder is that it is not more
generally grown.
A plat of ground 40x20 feet will hoid
500 plants, set in rows one foot apart
in row, with two feet walking between
each series of the rows. This plat set
in early, medium and late varieties,
will supply an average family layishly
with this exceedingly delightful and
wholesome fruit during the strawberry
season of four weeks or more.
The cost, counting the purchase or
plants, need hardly amount to 1 cent
a quart. Even this might be covered,
or much more than covered, by the
sale of surplus berries. Fresh, we'll
ripened berries of the large improved
varieties rarely go begging anywhere,
but sell readily at fair prices, often at
high prices.-Exchange

Fattenine Cattle.

A fat steer Of 1000 pounds weight is
said to have in it 500 pounds of water,
about twenty-five pounds of nitrogen,
eighteen pounds Of phosphoric acid ard
two pounds of potash. To buy this
nitrogen to return to the soil would cost
about $3.50, and the phosphoric acid
would cost about 81. In selling such
an animal raised on the farm and farm
products about $3.50 worth Of fertiliz-
ing material is taken. If bran, linseed
meal or other grain is bought to feed it,
more than this would probably be
added to the farm, and it would be
growing richer, while if the hay and
grain it consumed had been sold off the
farm, it would have been robbed of
much more.
