SONG SERVICE.
The First Methodist Church Was
Crowded Sunday Night.

CrOWGeu SUNDAY NlgnC.
A beautiful service of song delighted
a large audience at the First Methodist
church Sunday night. Nearly every seat
was occupied, and the audience showed
their reverence and appreciation by
marked attention.
This church has good cause to be
proud of it's choir. 1t comprises some
of the finest voices in the city, and, best
of all, every member is a regular com
municant of the church. Mrs. Ella
Kelley is the organist, and Mrs. G. I'll.
Sharp the manager, or musical director.
She not only has a beautiful voice which
she gives freely 10 the service of her
Master, but Mrs. Sharp has splendid
executive ability, as the improvement in
the choir under her management has
fully demonstrated. She was fortunate,
however, in having fine talent to work
with.
The regular choir was augmented Sun
day evening by Miss Lillian McGavock,
of Franklin, and DR.. Bledsoe Brown, OF
Zion. Miss McGavock's solo had to be
omit ed on account of a cold, but she
sang in a duet with Mrs. Sharp and her
voice was much admired. These voices
blended admirably, and this constituted
one of the most beautiful numbers on
the programme. DIR. Brown has fine
voice, and sings with ease; this came as
surprise to most of the audience, very
few of whom had heard him before; but
he has won for himself a cordial welcome
whenever be will be kind enough tC
visit us again. Miss Anne Fleming
joined him in the chorus. Those of the
choir who did special work we're Mrs
Ella Kelley, Miss Willie Ashton, Mrs
G. II. Sharp, Miss Annie Fleming
Messrs. Lipscomb and Gardner. These
we're none the less appreciated for being
we'll known to the audience.

Kilt as a Fighting Dress to Go.

TGIasgow Cor. Chicago Record.1
The Highland brigade seems to be hav-
ing a very hard time in South Africa.
Every list of casualties that comes from
land soldiers, and yet. curiously enough,
the brigade has not of late had much
share in the work that produces what is
vulgarly known glory" They have
always been in hard places, where stiff
marching and continual guerrilla tactics
on the part of the Beers have had to be
negotiated. Consequently, although they
figure largely in the casualty lists, they
do not appear prominently in the dis
patches. Officers and men must be long
ing for an opportunity to show what stun
they are made of before the campaign
closes They showed this at Magersfon-
tein and those other terrible places in the
beginning of the war, earning undylng
fame for themselves; but these battles
were bIunders at best, and are not likely
to be quoted in after years to the credit
of the British army as a whole Speaking
of the Highland brigade, it is curious to
notice the reversiOn of feeling that has
taken place lately with regard to the Kilt.
When the war began our most rab1d pa
triOts We're up in arms against the idea
of superseding the kilt with any dress
that might be more serviceable in actual
warfare Now, however, a change IS
talked of quite calmly. and, although 1t IS
tacitly understood that the big scheme OF
army reform which the government has
'.llp its sleeve includes the abolition of
inclined to protest. The fact Is that the
South African war has demonstrated TO
nicety its utter unsuitability for active
service under modern conditions. AS q
fighting dress 1T will have to go, but we
hope to keep it for many generations as
has too many romantic associations to be
altogether done away with.

BABY RAN A LOCOMOTIVE.

IFrom the Portland OregOnian.1
q can run an engine like papa" said
little three-year Fred Evans as he
was lifted down from the locomotive of
the St. Johns motor line yesterday at
Albina. He had mounted the engine at
St Johns, pulled open the throttle and
remained on the seat alone on mad
ride OF seven miles. The young engl-
neer is the son of W B. Evans of St.
Johns. an engineer on the motor line.
He had often been on the engine, and
his father had explained to him how
the lever is pulled and the wheels start
ed moving.
The engine lies over an hour at st.
Johns just by the water tank. and dur
ing this time yesterday. while Mr.. Evans
was at home at lunch. little Fred walked
down to the engine. mounted the seat
and opened the throttle wide The ma
chine was full of coal and water, and
was ready for the road. Several people
saw the boy start. but no one was near
enough to catch the engine. The news
was at once told to Mr.. Evans, and he
reached the track just in time to see the
locomotive, with his boy on board. dis
appear around a curve. The father was
wild with grief and fear, and the boys
mother was almost Frustrated.
The news spread like wildfire, and the
whole town turned out. Excitement was
intense, women and children cried and
men offered suggestions. Master Me
chanic Michael F. Brady was at that
end Of the line and at once began TO tel
ephone to stations along the line Ports
mouth and Peninsular We're notified,
and men at these points tried to
board the engine as it dashed by,
but its speed was too great. Mr..
Brady also notified the office at Albina,
and a party of men ran out the line
nOrthWard to meet the wild engine. In
coming up the long grade toward Albina
the steam had died down little, but the
register still showed so pounds John
Woods, a motorman on the City and Su-
burban railway, was the first man to
meet the engine. He caught the hand
rail and swung up but in doing so he
was dragged 60 or rs feet. He at once
turned off the steam and the engine
young Fred made the remark concerning
his ability as an engine driver.
The boy was not scared at all, but
seemed rather proud of his feat. When
the engine first dashed out of St Johns
he was frightened, and as he came
through Portsmouth like shot out of
gun he was yelling Justify for mamma"
After coming several miles, however, he
again became brave and held his posi-
ton on the seat with cOmpOSure, with
his hand on the lever, like a veteran.
The engine was stopped in front of the
home of.Dr- Davis, in Commercial street,
and was quickly run back to ST Johns
by Mr. Woods, with the boy Fred still
on board. Mr. Woods said his success
in boarding the engine was a surprise to
him, as well as every one else, as its
speed was still considerable. The engine
had made the run from St Johns to Alb
bina in less than half an hour.
In the meantime the news of the res
cue had been sent by telephone to the
frightened parents, and for the remain
der Of the day there was great joy in all
St. Johns.

UNDERGROUND WORKERS.
Aided by Bioxide of Sodium Which
Renews Oxygen in Air.

New York. Aug. ia dispatch to the
Times from Paris says:
Highly interesting demonstrations Of
the properties of Bioxide of Sodium are
being given before the French Academy
of Science. Bioxide of Sodium is found
to possess the property of renewing the
oxygen in air that has been breathed
and in absorbing carbonic acid gas
given off. Thus. with an apparatus
containing the sodium, shown by Des-
grey and Balthouard at the academy,
diver can remain under water and walk
about without having the air renewed by
the pumping apparatus at present en-
ployed.
Moreover. by means of the new ap-
paratus miners will be able to pene-
trate into poisonous gases and foul air
and firemen into smoke without fear of
asphyXiation. 1t will also render prac
ticable submarine boats.
Ample proofs of all that is claimed for
it were given at the academy. Two men
put on diving dress from which all air
was excluded and remained inclosed two
hours. Afterward the same men re-
NAMED under water in the Seine dur
ing half an hour. The experiments are
creating the greatest interest in scien-
tifiC circles
