Baltimore. Nd, special.-On last
Monday night at Madison St., Presby-
terian church, the most notable gath
ering Of Baltimore's most cultured So
ciety assembled to listen to one OF the
best concerts ever given in this city.
The Musical and Aid Association of
the above named church whose purpose
is to encourage and develop musical
and histrionic talent in the race, gave
its initial performance. The talent
brought out consisted of the very best
in the two neighboring cities. MIR.
Winston D. Payne of the Amphion
Glee Club, of Washington, deserved
every encomlum he received for his
fine and perfect rendition of classical
numbers. Miss Ottie M. Brooks, of the
capital city, whose delineation of Leah
and Ragar showed the touch of we'll
trained elocutionist, which captivated
the great audience.
The local talent consisted of Nine
Teresa Reid Stewart, Miss Eulalia Reid
and Messrs. Nelson Tuntstall, pupil
of Nine. Selika, and Mr.. George Cor
nish. Mr. Tunstall's rich baritone rem
dition of several numbers of the mas.
tiers. stamps him as coming singer of
culture and genius as cornetist. Mr.
Samuel Barnes 1s perhaps the best in
this part of the country, electrifyiag
his auditors with masterful execution
of difficult selections. AS an accom-
panist, Mr.. Herbert Johnson, well
known to the musical world needs no
introduction. His touch is said to be of
the very best.
Too much credit can not be given
Mr.. Willis L. Tunstall the managerial
spirit OF the concert and who was ably
assisted by Rev. r. b. Armstrong, D.

Weight of Queens.

Among the queens of Europe, Queen
Margaret of Italy, in spite of her
mountain climbing, is the heaviest.
She is said to urn the scale at IT'S
pounds, although she looks much
slighter. The queen of Spain weighs
lat pounds; the queen of the Neither
lands takes fourth place with 40
pounds, being a few pounds heavier
than the queen of the Belgians. The
German empress has reduced her
weight, which was an anxiety to her
to 1874 pounds, and the c~zarina, at 1875
pounds, is the lightest of all. The
tallest princess is the Crown Princess
of Denmark, who is well over six feet.

I'm the town of Darien, Ga, there
is but one building that stood there
before the war, and that building is
a Methodist church," observed a
prominent Georgian to the Washing
ton Star, land like many other
churches, 1t has an interesting history.
Darien specially suffered during Gen.
Sherman's march to the sea, every
building in the town being completely
destroyed by fire except this particular
building. Among the buildings des-
troyed there were several churches.
When the church was originally built
the question came up of putting a
lightning rod on it. There was a de-
c1ded objection to a lightning rod by
some OF the members of the church.
One particular member was very out
spoken against a lightning rod or
anything else in defiance of the will
of Providence He argued that if the
Lord wanted to destroy the property
He had a perfect right to do 10, for
it was essentially the Lords property.
All the other churches in the town,
however, were protected by lightning
rods. The church was built in 1856.
From it's position on the lightning rod
question the church became famous
as the only church in Georgia that
was protected by the Lord 1t was
for years, and, indeed, is today, a
drawing card for Darien, and has
drawn more people to that town than
nnU nfhnr fhiny orr inoidan+ oonnOaEo1
with it. if not more than all things
else combined. When Sherman'si army
a orders to burn the town they
started at the west end of it for the
wind coming from that quarter help
ed along the work. The army spared
nothing, the orders being to destroy
everything. 1t may have been that the
church that is protected by the Lord
was fired the same as any other build
ing, but the fact is that when the
army left there the next morning this
Methodist church was left standing
unscorched even, though the four
buildings nearest to it, one of them a
church, too, were on the level with the
ground. AS far as known, there was
no special kindness shown the Lords
church, if, indeed, any kindness by the
army, but just the same it did not
burn.
Lots of buildings in Darien have
been struck by lightning, which is
very severe at times all along the
south Atlantic coast, but this church
has never been u~nfavorably affected,
though it is today the only church or
other large building there that does
not have a lightning rod"

Pictorial POSTCARD Craze.

A fresh impetus will be given to the
pictorial postcard craze by the ingen-
ious invention of an Italian, who has
hit upon the idea of producing a card
which not only depicts a scene in COL
ors, but likewise serves as a kind of
barometer. According as the atmos-
phere varies the colors change on the
cards, and the inventor has so con-
trived that the colors shall be used So
as to give each scene illustrated the
effect that would be produced under
different atmospheric conditions.

Put your piety into your nursing, as

Smooth off, with a fine file, the rough
end of the glass drinking tube.
Let no drinks be brought in large

Use finest old linen, if linen at all, for

your hand under the pillow, and, with
as much firmness as possible, lifting it.

Twenty-Five per cent of the children

Beware of OIntments for Catarrh That

AS mercury will surely destroy the sense Of

in the evening, tell her to stay at home
and enjoy them in a radiant solitude,
and the child, with his forbidden barley

carries her caparison either for the

herself than a chandelier can enjoy

MONEY IN OLD BOTTLES.
One Man in Philadelphia Has Made
eB0O.OOO out OF Them.

One Man in Philadelphia Has Made
100000 out OF Them.
Very few people are aware OF the
immense profits to be accrued in the
gathering, handling and selling of old
glass bottles. The traffic IL a large
one, and by following 1t closely sew
eral devotees OF the calling have
amassed comfortable fortunes. This
is particularly true OF one old man,
who Is well known downtown, and
who has been gathering old bottles for
40 years says a Philadelphia paper.
He is easily worth over half a million
and today works just as hard as he
did when first building up his 81
ness. The old fellow drives his own
wagon, and there is hardly a club
steward In town who has not done
business with him. Bottles from this
source must be paid for, Of course, and
this takes away a good portion OF the
profit. The real income Is derived
from the bottles found in back yards
and back alleys. and from those given
by housekeepers who do not know or
else do not care for their value. In
the summer when glass factories are
closed, there is always a strong de-
mand for old bottles from all sources,
and the person who owns them can
charge his own price In the clean
ing and sorting OF them a great many
persons are employed, and they all
make good wages

THE FREEDoM OF TEACHING.
views which supply student with In
teilectuaI Tools.


teilectuaI Tools.
Boards of trustees will be henceforth
inclined to place restrictions upon the
freedom OF teaching, while, on the
other hand, they will be the more in
clined to exercise great care in the
selection of the men to whom they ac-
cord discretion, says Review of Re-
views. Further than that, it is now
admitted that the colleges and univer-
stiles are not in their nature well
suited to be centers of agitation or
propaganda, but rather that their
sphere is disciplinary study and calm,
scientific research. The object of the
schools of higher learning should be
not SO much to give the student a set
OF views as to supply him with intel
lectual tools and methods, so that he
may in due time find his way TO con-
clusions of his own. A college profess
sor Is a citizen and man. Even in
Germany, where one expects to find
restraint and regulation, the univer-
sity professors are seldom conscious OF
any limitations under their perfect
freedom to utter and to teach what
ever they believe. We cannot afford
in this country to muzzle any of our
teachers. Their freedom will be use
ful in ten thousand cases where 1t
might be harmful in one. This, Of
course. applies to men whose function
is really that of teaching. Sometimes
men find themselves in college chairs
who do not rightly belong there.
Some socialists make excellent profess
sors of political economy; others do
not. Thus some of the foremost uni
versity economists of Germany are
socialists; but, on the other hand,
some of the foremost socialists OF Ger
many would be wholly out OF place
IN the universities. This Is an obvi-
Gus distinction yet 1t is sometimes lost
sight of when men discuss this aues-
tion of the freedom OF teaching. There
are cases where 1t is the teacher rath-
er rather than the teaching that is
at the bottom of the controversy.
