BICYCLES GIVEN AWAY

Much attention las been drawn to the plan of giving away 2 bicycle at every performance given by the Saw teLe cUmpany during it's engagement at the Jacques all next week, and from Jhe stir the scheme has made it will not be an easy thing to accommoda 1e lLe crowds that will push for admit
 Rnce. The idea of giving away the eleven bicycles. one for every perform ance of the engagement, is to advertise the Soudan Model c wheel, this being the manufacturer plan in preference to other methods. The company mak- Rg the wheel has authorized E. H. IOwlc, the Center street dealer. to give away eleven wheels according to this plsn: At every performance all who attend will be given a numbered ticket at the door, and corresponding numbers will be placed in a box and 3 Gra wing made by committee chosen from among the audience by the audi once itself. The person holding the num- her corresponding with the one drawn will receive an order on MT ToWle, and on this order can choose mans, lady's or youths machine, according to preference. No person connected with the Savtelle company. the local theaters or MT Towle's will be permit ted to have anything to do with the drawing, so that the drawing will be absolutely free from any suspicion of unfairness. As the Sawtelle company is an exceptionally clever organiza ton and gives fine performances, and as the regular repertoire prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, will not be increased, it will be seen what strong inducements there are for local show goers to pack the Jacques to its very utmost capacity It every one of the eleven perform ances next week. The sale of seats is now on.

DERWIN RECTAL.

On Thursday evening, November 15, 4. A. Farland, the phenomenal banjo ist and Valentine Apt, the world renowned mandolinist, will appear at Polls theater under the management of J. J. Derwin. They will be assist ed by Miss A. Agnes Chopourian, so prano; Miss Jane A. Clark, contralto; NJ. J. Sheehan, basso; the Derwin NJ. B. and G. orchestra and Derwin trio. It is expected that many performers and enthusiasts of the banjo, mando- lin and guitar will attend from other neighboring places and without doubt this will be the most successful con- cert of it's kind ever given here. The Boston Journal of May IS, '99, contains the following criticism of MT Farlanu: Tt is a rare pleaure to hear Alfred A. Farland play the banjo- He enjoys the distinction of having created a class and filling it alone. He has taken an instrument that has been associated with low class comedians and brought it up to the level of the piano, the vio- lin and the harp. Last evening MT Farland gave 9 recital at Steinert hall. Every seat was taken by fash ionable and highly enthusiastic audi ence. It was several years ago that MT Farland astonished the musical world by his rendering of Men
  Never before had anybody been able to make the banjo an instrument for the fashionable home and swell re- citals. In order to do this it was ne- cessary for him to rearrange the en- tire system of lingering for both hands He did it with conSumate art, and since then he has been recognized as the greatest exponent of the banjo in the world. Musicians say many effects he produces on this instrument are pro- duced on no other. Just as Patti out rivals the ordinary soprano Farland stands above all other banjo players of the world. There is nothing too diffi- cult for him, and as he is very young man the world is yet to be surprised. With complete mastery of every tone and wonderful technique MT Farland has brilliant future.''

age of "a years. She was the daughter
of w. A. Worthen and was married to
George w. York in May 1897. Ever
since the birth of her child on the h Of
last July, she has been in failing health.
Naturally of quiet, gentle and patient
disposition, she bore her long aud pain
full illness uncomplainlngly and even
cheerfuly, always greeting her friends
and neighbors with pleasant smile.
Although she had much TO live for she
realized that she would never regain her
health and usefulness and longed to be
released from suffering, that was at
times intense. She was tenderly and
lovingly cared for by those nearest and
dearest to her, and her bereaved hus-

leaves n father, two sisters and two

THE PEERLESS EDITOR.
[For THE CoNsERvATIvE.]

The Peerless Leader looked around
For something he could do
When the smoke of battle cleared away,
And his campaign was through;
When his campaign was through, my friends,
And all his toll was o'er;
When the roorback roared into its lair,
And the hewgag hewed no more
The lecture platform had its charms,
AS lecture platforms have;
But the Peerless Leaders wearied mind
Was wanting other salve;
Was wanting other salve, my friends,
Strange weird as it may seem,
For even orators need rest,
And that is no pipe-dream.
The managers of large musees
Some tempting offers male;
80 come and join the bearded dame,
And put her in the shade
And put her in the shade, my FRIEND
Surpass the tatooed Greek
And the Armless Wonder put to shame
But the Peerless would not speak.
The Peerless Leader looked afar
To the land where heather bow
To handmade gods in gloomy mosque,
AS they do in old Hang Chow;
AS they do in old Hang Chow, my friends,
And heard the Peerless say:
II would stack up high god on wheels,
But cannot get away"
The Peerless viewed the CHASTITY wounds
He'd gained in Spanish wars
And he thought somewhat of starting forth
Az q grim and CORY Mars:
AS grim and CORY Mars, my friends,
In the Filipino cause
"But might get shot" he said; "then what
Would do with my gifted jaws9"
The Peerless looked at his Trenchant Pen,
At his Trenchant Pen looked he;
II shall WELD the lever that moves the world,
He cried, in ecstatic glee;
He cried in ecstatic glee, my friends,
And pranced like green bay colt;
And we sit and wait in weird suspense,
Till he gives the world jolt.

earth. 1t is surpassed, perhaps, only by
him who walks among them in thinking
grace and beauty. "In FORM" though
not in knowing" like him the tree
chow express and admirable. The
solitary tree-or the row-or group,
planted by human hands, or spared by
them from ordinary determination, near
the abodes of men.
The thick. topped maple, with it's whole
some looking foliage and impervious
boughs, in whose close and dark recesses
the hang bird sings her "wood-not
Wild in the hot summer noon. The
lofty, clear-limbed, open -boughed but
tor. .wood-with it's dainty leaf, it's
SCARED trunk and excoriated branches
And the elm, the patriarch of the family
of shade ;-the majestic, the umbra.
geous, the antlered elm. We remember
one at this moment-in sight from our
old home on the banks of the Penigewas-
sett. We have seen larger, but never
one of such perfect symmetry and
beauty. It stood just across that cold
stream near the bridge "Fayette
the roadside-on the margin of the wide
intervale. "One among thousands" it
stood of the multitudes which the taste
of it's early proprietor had left dispersed
about on the broad landscape. 1t stood
upon the ground as lightly as though it
"rose in dance''-and it's full top bend
ing over toward the ground on every
side with the dignity Of the forest tree
and all the grace of the weeping willow.
You could gaze upon it for hours; it
was the handiwork and architecture of
God, on which the eye of man never
tires, but always looks with refreshing
and delight. lin 1891 this tree was
about eighty feet in height, and as per-
feet as when my father described it fifty
years before.
We remember clump of white pines,
too-right opposite on the other side of
the stream tall mast pines-of the
primitive woods-aborigines We seem
to hear their evening murmur, mingled
with the .fov of the rapids that hurried
by their foot. How they came to be
left there, we can hardly imagine. They
are on the verge of the village and must
have stood there since long before the
settlement of the town, and have sur.
vived the ages of half dozen hewing
and hacking generations. We remem-
ber crane lighting down on the tip-top
of one of the tallest of them, one day at
sunset.
But we sat down to pay hasty tribute
to the trees of Concord. We turn down
Main street to the patriarchs, the mon.
archs of Concord trees, and the peers at
