Piano and Violin Lessons,

Miss Irene Williams, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. T. III. Williams, has resigned
her position in the Tuscaloosa Female
College, and, in Difference to her parents
wishes, has secured room at the Athe
n@um and will receive pupils for the
piano and violin. Columbia should be
glad and proud of this opportunity, for
it is only now and then that musician
so we'll equipped settles in a town this
size. AS most of our readers know,
Miss Williams has taken thorough
course at the Baltimore Conservatory
of Music, from which institution she
has the highest testimonials to her
worth. During her six years there as a
pupil, she embraced the opportunity af-
forded her OF teaching outside pupils,
and acquitted herself not only to the en-
tire satisfaction of her patrons, but to
the credit of her alma mater. Her last
years work in Tuscaloosa was very sue
cessful and highly appreciated by the
president of the school, as we'll as by
the patrons.

The Story He Didn't Wish to Tell.

AT gatherig of ministers at Man
chester it was agreed that each person
present should tell short story. DR..
Watson's assistant minister refused to
contribute his quota, because the story
personally concerned the doctor. But
DIR. Watson insisted and at length the
story was told thus: 81 had dream
and was told that, to go to heaven L
must go up certain fight of stairs
and chalk my sins on each step as l
went up. l was doing SO, when | saw
the doctor coming down. l said: Doc

And the doctor answered lugubriously ;

THE CHURCH IN THE WOOD
LANDS.

1t nestled way down yonder, in the
shadow of the pines
Where the south winds waved the bios
SONS of the mornin' glory vines,
And the birds were always singin' and
the lilies ever seemed
Like affairs bright to heaven, where
the angels knelt and dreamed.
A beacon ON life's highway, its silence
seemed to say:
1.-THE peace of God is with me forever
and day
Here rest, We worn and weary, with
red thorns at the breast
Here find, when life seems dreary, your
refuge and your rest. .
World echoes faint and dying-we
heard glad notes arise
AS the sweet old songs Of Zion went
ringing to the skies
And all the place around it glory
seemed to win,
And earth was like heaven to go to
heaven in
o, fair the every pathway that led us
to the place
OF Loves own benediction-of Love {
angelic face
The glory seemed to greet us from the
windows of the blue,
And heaven came down to meet us,
and joined the singing, too!
No more we hear that singing in al
lifes gloom and CLEAN,
The old paths are deserted-the ole
church but dream.
But still its mem 'ry fingers, and evel
shall abide
Till the happy lights of Canaan shin
from the other side.

shortly after 7 o'clock last evening an
alarm was sent out from box PIC. corner
OF Thurber's and Prairie avenues. The
fire was located in the old car barn OF the
Union Railroad company on Thurber's
avenue and at one time threatened to be
as disastrous blaze as the Elmwood car
barn FIRE a few months ago.
Because of its threatening aspect and
IN order TO prevent the fire from sweep
ing through the entire block bounded by
Thurber's and Prairie avenues and Col
fax and Broad streets. the department
chief caused a third alarm to be rung
thereby calling out all the city's engines.
The fire was discovered by a small boy
who ran up TO some men sitting in
car In front OF the barn and told them
that the barn was on fire. One of the
men rang In an alarm Immediately. The
fire originated in the one-story part OF
the car barn. along Prairie avenue,
where a quantity of straw and hay is
stored.
When the fremen arrived they found
the entire southeast corner OF the struct-
ure In flames. The efforts OF the fire de-
partment were directed to saving the
brick walls OF the burning structure and
the newer car sheds on the west. In this
they were entirely successful, keeping
the flames confined 10 the inside of the
old car barn proper. The free towers,
two on Thurbers avenue and one on the
front of the structure. all of which were
formerly used as ventilators, afforded ex-
celient drafts for the flames, which
yeedly consumed them.
