prisoner at Harper's Ferry, but was soon
afterwards sent TO Chicago and was ex-

was spent as a drummer boy, and he was
selected as the model for the figure of the
drummer boy on the Lincoln monument
in Springfield, Ill.
After being mustered out OF service he

The Noted Russian PIanI.t.

Ossip GabTilowitsch, the young Russian
pianist whose coming to this country was
announced last spring, has made his APP
pearance In New York within the last two
weeks and has been received in the most
favorable manner possible. We recall the
coming Of no other stranger to whom the
critics have been so universally kind. The
leading papers say in substance that the
yonng man Is first of all an artist, that he has
the musical temperament, and that he plays
with large and rare intelligence. The hap
Ply characterization Of the New York Sun
was that the artists playing twas, as a
whole, like q well painted picture, the
modelling round, rich, the colors laid ON
by practiced hand, the mechanism never
obtruded, one could see the forest as well
as the trees" Mr.. GabriloWitsch is intro
duced TO the musical public in this coun-
try by the John Church company, and 1t Is
an open secret among the friends OF A. NJ.
Wright, the New York manager of that
company, that 1t was his enterprise, fore
sight and well-trained artistic instinct
which suggested this departure and led
the Company to assume the large RESPONSE
bility which 1t involves. The engagement
of the young artist is unmistakably an as
sured success already. 1t is a matter Of
course that the Everett grand piano is the
instrument used by him.

Congregational Club Meeting.

The Congregational club held its first
meeting Wednesday evening in the Brooks
House, and over three -fourths of the mem
bership of the club were present, attesting
the excellence of the idea under which the
club was Organized-that of bringing the
male members of the society into social
contact. An excellent banquet was served
at 8 10 O'Clock, beginning with blue points
on the half shell and running down through
a long list of courses until there was talk
of serving an injunction on the proprietor
to prevent forestalling the intellectual
feast which was announced to follow.
The banquet over, tho company adjourn
ed to the parlor to listen to discussion on
"Expert Evidence" by DR.. w. N. Thomp-
son and Lawyer Clarke g. Fits. By invi-
tation of @. H. Thompson, president of
the club, Judge H. H. Wheeler took part
in the discussion and contributed largely
TO the interest Of the meeting. The burden
of the discussion was an effort to dispel
the prevailing idea that expert witnesses
disagree In essential particulars. This idea
comes from the fact that expert witnesses
on opposite sides of a case testify from diff
ferent hypothesis, between which the pub
lie is not careful to make a distinction.
The speaker recognized that there are ex-
ceptions In this as we'll as In other matters,
money and the desire of an expert witness
to have the side by whom he is engaged
win sometimes being responsible for diff
ferent views. The discussion was illus
trated by a number of amusing anecdotes.

Lead and oil was good enough paint TIL the

to paint lead and oil-it was then-but not now.
The aid ltion OF zinc TO lead makes Devoe lead
and zinc last twice as long and cost no more;
costs less-a triie less, not much. Lead and oil
Is mixed by hand; Devoe lead and zinc by ma

Would call special attention to the

Grand avenue, near State street, by the
railroad bridge, east terminal of the
new Chapel street bridge near Board
man school, Portsea street, near Chris
topher street. Water street, near the
foot of the park, at the foot of Hamil-
ton street. While there are other needy
locations these are the most urgent
ones.
Our city is to be congratulated that
there is only very slight evidence of a
desire for the city to operate the several
public service industries. The differ
ence saved Qf any is not worth trying
the experiment. A fixed and stated
cost is preferable to an estimated and
expense under continual
changing policy.
Should any change be desired from
these public services industries it should
come from state or national legislation,
which is within the reach of all.
For the assistance continued to be
rendered by the police department in
most faithful manned, we are grateful.
