Every night two of the inmates of the men

Last night the task fell to Ehrsen and another
old man. They went as far as the platform
from which the barrels dumped, and we're
tipping the barrel, when Ehrsen slipped and
with shrek fell head foremost into the fiery
furnace.
His aged companion gave the alarm. hut 1t

body 1t had been burned to a mere fragment
and bore no resemblance to a human corpse.
When Ehrsen's companion was asked If he knew
who il was that had fallen into the crematory

worthless The officers Of the institution called

of ensemble performances. They appeal to mu-
scfans and music lovers who are supposed TO be
able to appreciate the perfection of art Illustrated
by good music the kind they cultivate and good

Schumanns sonata in d minor. Salnt-Saens

In the work of happily welded couple the most
notable feature the unity of feeling which per-
vaded the performance. There was always an
understanding between them. which bespoke
careful study of the compostiOn-everything made
for eunhony and everything illustrated the meaning
of the composer The audience was not numerous
but appreciatfve and enthusiastic.
