publican senators spent the early
hours of today's session of the senate

It is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An
Albany IN. " dairyman called at a
drug store there for doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommend
eG Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
their neighbors and friends until he
has a constant demand for it from
that part of the country. For sale by

A very rare Astronomical feature
of the month OF February was that 1t
had no new moon. January had two
and March win have two. This pecu-
liar incident is due to the, fact that
the last year of the century is reck-
oned as a leap year. ana that even IN
ordinary leap years the moon is new
in February as in other months, ex-
cept at long intervals A moonless
month has not occurred since Feb

who once sat at the right hand of the
heavenly throne. And the character
given him in the story and the play is
equally revolutionary. He is pictured
not as a fiend, gloating over the crimes
OF men and fall of women, but as a
former angel, whose proud boast in
heaven condemns him to tempt men 10
evil while longing for the perfect purity
of the whole race, knowing that when
all men turn from evil he, too, will be
again admitted to his lost place.
The story attempts to remove the old
time horrors associated with the name
of devil and his fiery kingdom, which
the drawings of Dore have made so
plainly realistic, and few are averse to
being convinced that the devil is not
so black as he is painted, or that Hades
is not SO intentionally heated as it has

of 1884. 1t was this triumph which sent
her to Europe, where still greater suce
cesses were achieved. Mime. Nevada has
sung almost constantly In France, italy,
Austria, Spain and England. She created a,
great sensation as Amina in "Somnam-
bula," and so great was her success that
she was chosen as one of the models
for the statuary on the portals to tho
statue of Bellini, the great italian COM
poser. The statue was erected at Milan.
Another notable event in Nine. Nevada's
career was when she appeared on the
same programme with Bernhard and
Duse in a benefit performance In Paris, to
raise funds for statue to Alexander Du-
mas.
Her concert in St. Paul will be de+
voted largely to the production of tho
music of Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini and
Bizet, which compositions are admirably
adapted to her voice. Nine. Nevada says
the music of Wagner Is not that which
the great mass of people like TO hear, all
though she fully realizes its wonderful
power and merit.

MUSICAL COMMENT.

The Jackson family or trio, as they are
called, are certainly an interesting figure
in the musical world today. The mother
is most interesting, as well as one Of
the best financial managers to be found,
and the success of the daughter Leonora' 8
career has been due largely to the
mothers untiring energy and care over
the mental as well as physical welfare Of
the girl. All who heard Miss Jackson
play on Thursday evening were at once
drawn toward the brother accompanist,
whose artistic work and complete SYM
pathy in his sisters work made the pair
at once the object and center of adj
miration. The trio left on Friday morn
ing, en- route for New York city, where
Miss Jackson is to appear in the Sunday
evening concert at Carnegie hail.
A gala concert for the Dewey arch
fund was given Tuesday evening at Car
negie hall, New York, the entire pro-
ceeds going to the Dewey arch fund. A
galaxy of stars gave the programme, and,
besides Walker DamroSch's Manila TIE
Deum, sixteen soloists and oratorio So
ciety and orchestra, the Inf1ammatus
from Rossini's "Stabat Mater" sung by
Nine. Nordica; prize Song, by Edmund
de Reszke, and the Queen by Weber,
was sung by Nine. Gadsl1i Evan Williams
was the tenor to quartette of four
voices any one of which would be a
drawing card and musical feature in it
SELF Admiral and Mrs. Dewey graced the
occasion and were seated in one Of the
proscenium boxes.
Richard Wagner died too soon, the
New York World says. He was denied
the great joy of hearing his music sung
as he wished it should be sung. In his
generation his interpreters were all in
error He knew it, but he had to accept
them or else keep his manuscripts in his
library for the dust to cover them. He
never daspaired, though, and in his in
nermost thoughts was convinced that the
day would come when justice would be
done to his great works.
He was right The pioneers of Wagner
ian singers have passed away. One or
two are left invalids who can hardly re-
alize that their successors are doing
things which they did not believe were
possible. There is new generation of
Wagner artists-men and women-Who
are confounding with object lessons the
theorists who denied to the masters
music it's melodic quality and the pos
sibility of its vocal formulation within
the general rules of musical art.
