Heart disease kills suddenly, but

BE SATISFIED.

Be satisfied Love is not given in
vain.
The poor parched earth is greater for
the rain
The unasked heavens lavish; though
earth tried
Long time and strove against It and
denied
Her freshened flowers, her ransomed
fields of grain,
The rain hath saved. And so, for all
its pride,
Perchance unloved of these a heart
had died

Rag-time coon songs are the prevail
ing fad. The vaudeville stars sing
them, the opera stars have begun to
introduce them and they are in the
parlors Of the people to an extent that
is surprising. There is a jingle and
rythm to them that makes the blood
culver and puts the feet in motion as
no other melodies do. With the AL. G..
Field Greater Minstrels there are sew
eral clever people who sing rag-time
songs in a way that is very fetching.
Harry Skunk with the character song
you Haven't Treated Me Right"
Tommy Donnelly with his singing and
acting of MY Honolulu Queen" are
probably the best singers of coon
songs in their particular line before
the public. Skunk has a fine voice
and knows how to use it. The eccen-
tricities of Donnelly carry an audience
with him. Who that aver heard him

coon songs. Among the many pleas

lingering illness. Deceased was in the
18th year of her age. The arrange

Mrs. Wilson's name, prior to her
marriage, was Catherine Harkins. She
was born in this city and throughout
her long and useful career she has al
ways been held in high esteem for her
kindness. charity and excellent quail
tiles. She was the relict of the late
Thomas c. Wilson, a former river en-
gineer. and later serving in the capaci-
ty of local inspector of steam craft un-
til the time of his death. The imme-
date family have the sympathy and
coincidence of a large number of sor-
rowing relatives and friends.

was adopted after it had been amended
ordering that the assistant librarian be

A report from the committee on text

received.
Mr.. Maxwell then took the floor and
after calling attention to the fact that
the State law says that the examining

Board, urged that the question be re-
considered. The president ruled that
Mr.. Maxwell was right in the matter
and on motion the first portion of the

DR.. Birney moved that the committee

Henrietta CrOsman.
If the metropolitan endorsement OF
a play means anything, Bronson How
ards comedy, "One of Our Girls" that
Henrietta Crosman will bring to the
Opera House next Wednesday night
should certainly prove an unusually
interesting play, for it has the record
OF an entire years run at the Lyceum
Theatre in New York city, and is
besides called Mr.. Towards best ef-
fort. "One of Our Girls" Is purely an
American play. and is sure to appeal
to Americans, for it clearly illustrates
the Independent spirit we all possess,
which is sharply contrasted with the
idosyncrasy Of the French. In this
play Miss Crosman is said to have
| scored the hit of her life, and the crit
les in the large cities unite in saying
that "One of Our Girls" as played by
the coincidence, Henrietta Crosman,
and her company, is one of the most
artistic and enjoyable entertainments
in America to-day. Miss Crosman
will probably be greeted with a crowd
ed house.
