A WAGNER EVENING.
The Reception and Musical by the
Woman's Club Delightful Affair.

The Reception and Musical by the
Woman's Club Delightful Affair.
1t was with pleasant anticipation
that the members of the Woman IS
Club and their friends assembled at
Stanley e. Parkill's Tuesday evening TO
listen TO most able paper by Mrs.
Van Ness on "Richard Wagner, the
Musician of the Future" as he is
some times called and hear extracts
from his famous works.
The events inWagner's life were not
dwelt on so much as the causes which
prompted him to write his wonderful
music, love being the recurring motif
in all his plays.
One critic said that Wagner's works
should not be called operas, but rather
music dramas, as it was the supreme
type, the union of the arts Of poetry,
song and music, which so nearly
approaches the divine and it was this
great man whose herculean task it
was to write the three and reveal their
kinship to each other. Mrs. Van Ness
then played the three leading motifs
from 1.-THE Flying Dutchman," which
music drama was inspired by Wagner's
folorn condition after his shipwreck
on the coast OF France.
The first theme being spoken Of as
the "Rest Motif" The second melody
represented the great love Of the eter-
nal woman and the third, the yearn-
ing for home and love which the weary
mariner louged for.
Mr.. Parkill then rendered most
effectively the overture from "Lohen-
grin" which brings in 1.-THE Swan
Motif" and was thoroughly enjoyed.
The other numbers were from "Tris-
tan and Isolde" and "The Fire Spiele"
from 1.-THE Valkyrie, the latter being
the second music.drama from 1.-THE
Nieblungen Ring"
AS the music score Of these works
was written for orchestra these num-
berS were excellent on the pianola for
it could accomplish what would be i'm.
possible for two hands to do on a piano
and Mr.. Parkill deserves special praise
for the artistic way in which he rem
dered these compositions. Altogether
it was one of the most enjoyable and
instructive evenings the club has yet
had and its members are deeply CRATE
Iul to Mrs. Van Ness for such a privi-
lege and pleasure as this was.
The popular view of the relation OF the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked in many familiar expression. We
speak OF there being 'bad blood" between
people at enmity, of "blue blood" as IL
dicatiDg ancestry. of ''black blood" as
describing a treacberous nature, and in
many another phrase mark our belief that
in the mental, moral and physical man.
"rhe blood is the life" The one basis OF
a healthfuI, happy and useful life Is pure
blood. With the blood pure, disease has
no permanent lodging place In the system.
For this reason the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery rids the body Of
diseases which have their origin 10 impurity
of the blood. 1t absolutely puIifies the
blood, carrying Off the waste and poisonous
matter, increasing the action of the blood,
making glands, and building up the body
by supplying the blood in quantity and
quality such as is essential to condition OF
health. 1t cures ninety eight people out Of
| every hundred who give 1t a fair trial.

THE NEW CUBA.

Butte Inter Mountain.
Evidences that the radical Cubans in
tend to ignore the United States in
launching their government continue to
accumulate. and many of the wisest
men on the island do not, on this ac-
count. look hopefully into the future.
Senator Varino is the latest to ex-
press his views on the situation. In
an open letter he says he sees danger
in the present project of the radi-
Gals. which. at first sight appears to be
a purely abstract one into which we'll
accepted constitutional principles are
incorporated, principles which might be
made subjects Of academic discussions.
Nevertheless. when examined with
more care, it becomes clear that the
project is dominated by a principle
which is no other than rule by local
cliefs. He formerly attributed the de-
sires of certain elements Of reaction
against the Spanish system, which was
centralized. and at other times to the
spirit of imitation in those who con-
slider the present state of Cuba the
goal, instead of a mere stage Of its
development. He now considers the !
desire for federalism as natural in
backward community, where social in
fuence is concentrated in the hands Of
a few who wish to preserve their
power
Senator Varino declares that if this

a social and literary club for young

for enjoyment and improvement which

Astoria needs a good gymnasium, a

their evenings at billiards and other
games usually found in such places,
and all the advantages of evening edu-
cadonal classes and reading rooms.
These can only be provided at price
