programmes for the organ and choir for
the entire year in advance, with the eX-
ception of the Christmas and Easter SER
vices and the solos by the members of the
quartette. These will be filled in next
week. There will not be Il single repe-
tition of any of the numbers A consid-
cradle quantity of music used last year
has been temporarily laid aside and new
music has been put In it's place. This is
true of the solo numbers as well as the
quartettes. The selections include 49,
anthems and hymn-anthems; 30 vocal
solos, ~ duets and 2SS selections consist
ing of preludes. offertories and postludes
for the organ. The churches in this
country where the music used is selected
with the care shown in this systematic
selection can probably be counted on the
fingers of one hand.
Miss Helen Henschel, the daughter of
Mr.. George and the late Lillian Henschel,

dertake her first concert tour under the

Theodore Presser, music publisher OF
philadelphia, has just issued two songs
A Wnp1cr n this
one is secular, entitled. Loves Whisper
ing" and the other sacred, entitled
Jesus, | My Cross Have Taken" Both
compositions possess marked merit both
in melody and harmony and are among
Mr., Wooler's best songs. They will UNI
doubtedly add to his reputation as
writer of first class songs.

Nanny Mary's Message.

In the course of her career, says a writer in Current Literature, Nanny Mary had met many distinguished per sons, but her own importance as nurse for three generations in the family of General John B. Gordon of Georgia kept her from being overwhelmed by the honor.
 When Mrs. Cleveland, during the sec ond term of her husbands presidency, visited the Gordons at the governors mansion in Atlanta. she expressed desire to see a genuine old negro man. my. So the carriage was hitched up, and Nanny Mary was sent for at Sutherland, the Gordon country place, which she preferred to the noise and excitement of official life. When the coachman drew up, he found her smok- ing her evening pipe. Not step would she stir.
 "She done say" said the unsuccessful envoy on his return to town, "dat she don want to see no presidents;' she done see 'nough presidents Mrs. Cleveland laughed heartily when she heard this. Then she proposed to go to the mountain, since Mohammec refused to budge, and the next day sht drove out to Sutherland.
 "I am surprised, Nanny Mary" sait
 Mrs. Gordon before introducing the dis tinguished guest, ''that you sent sucf a message. You have never been i'm polite before."

 "Well," she returned, with a tiny pout, "you might at least have writ ten.''
 "But I did," he assured her. ''I wrote. and your father sent back the letter, warning me that any letter sent to Europe would not reach you. In spite of that I wrote half dozen times, but received no word in reply"
 "What did you say?" she inquired half curiously, half bashfully.
 ''I can't tell you here," he answered. You're here to give me negative"
 She smiled roguishly. "Take two plates,'' she suggested, and as he look ed a little dazed she placed her hands on his shoulders. You stupid boy" she finished, "don't you realize that two negatives make an affirmativew

An East Indian Amulet.

Tn India a variety of gems and stones are used as amulets. The most com mon Is the salagrama, stone about as large as billiard ball and which is perforated with black. This is sup posed to be found only in Gandaki, a river in Nepaul. The person who pos sesses one of these stones is esteemed highly fortunate. He preserves it in a clean cloth. from whence it is some times taken to be bathed and perfum- ed. He believes that the water in which it is washed, if drunk, has the power to preserve from sin. Holding it in his hand, the dying Hindoo ex- pires in peace, trusting in stone rath- CT than in the living God.

1.-TWO NEGATIVES
 By Henry s. Winthrop
Copyright, 1902, by the
 8. s. Mcclure Company

Everybody said, when old General
 Ainsworth died and it was found that
 injqdicious stock speculation had prac-
 hcally wiped out his entire fortune,
 that Evan Ainsworth should establish
 himself as florist. Several of their
 set. they argued, who had suddenly
 found themselves compelled to earn
 their own living had followed this
 course, and ''the set'' resented innova- tions. Moreover, the Ainsworth con-
 servatories had been famous.
 E Precisely because everybody had
 suggested florists shop Evan Aims
 worth decided against it. It was all
 very well at first, he argued, when
 bought flowers in the name of sweet
 charity, but he knew little about flow CTS, not enough to make the business
 an independent success. On the other
 hand, his amateur photographs had gained distinction at various exhibi- tions. Very sensibly he decided to de velop this talent, and so he secured a position as operator in an obscure gal lery, where he could gain experience with skylight work. Two months later Evan Ainsworth was practically for gotten by his old associates.
 For this Evan was thankful, for the dark days following his fathers death had been made more gloomy by the re- peated visits of self constituted ad- visers, who failed to appreciate the fact that there are some men who would rather earn less money inde- pendently than be dependent upon bor- rowed capital for the success of a hazardous venture. It cut him little at first as one by one his friends drop ped off, but in the end he regretted only Evelyn Hope, with whom there had
 been an understanding at the time of the crash.
 Armstrong Hope, her father, had ! been one of the first to suggest the ! florist shop, and when Evan had ex- plained his view of the matter and
 had declined the proffered aid MT. Hope had stormed through the house. ! declaring that Evan was a headstrong youngster and that the rising genera tiOn was going to the dogs. Then he had promptly exiled Evelyn to Europe in care of an elderly aunt.
 "Now, you take care of Evelyn" he
 had said to her when the steamer was

 Dear Sirs Some think we take good deal of risk in inviting complaints o1 Devoe lead and zlnc-we authorze ou1 agent to sell it under this guarantee: eff you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting 1t on, or here. after in the wear, tell your dealer about it. "We authorize him to do what is right at our expense"
 The following story tells how little the risk Is:
 J. H. Asher & Co.,, hardware dealers, Rhinebeck, N. Y., have sold Devoe from '76 to now, and have had just one com. plaint in all this time. Three sides of house were perfect the fourth was as bad as the three were good.
 Explanation-It rained the night before the fourth side was painted and the painters didn't wait for the wood to dry. What is done in such case2 Whatever the dealer, who sold the paint, considers 1t fair to do. We leave it to him. He may not do exactly what we should do ii we were there; but we are not there. The best we can do is to leave 1t to him.

about to sail. "and remember that your European vacation is going to be cut short the moment I hear that she has entered into communication with young Ainsworth."
 A letter which Evan had sent to her had been returned unopened, with a curt note from Armstrong Hope inti- mating that he desired all further communication between Ainsworth and the Hope family to cease absolutely and assuring Evan that he had taken steps to see that this desire would be carried out.
 Evan. instead of assuming a mourn full air, went industriously to work and within two years so advanced him. self in his profession that he was en- gagged as chief operator in the most fashionable establishment in town. Two years of hard study, supplement- ed by none too luxurious living the first year. had wrought marvellous changes in his appearance, and none who con- mented on the excellence of his photo graphs realized that the artist was a man who at one time had been well comed to their homes. He was too proud to remind his old associates of his existence, and they in turn had quite forgotten him.
 As chief operator he was supposed to exercise general supervision over the work. and one afternoon, going into the dark room, he found a young de veloper bending over some plates.
 "Mr. Ainsworth." he called, "I wish you would look at this negative. MT. Jackson took it while you were at lunch, and it doesn't seem to be quite right. He only took two, and the first one was lost entirely through fog"
 Ainsworth carelessly lifted the plate and held it up to the ruby light. Then he gave a start. for there was Eve lyn's face. trife wistful, but still the face of the woman he loved dearer than his life. Pulling himself togeth- CT. he handed it back to the operator with careless remark, but let the glass slip from his hand before the other could grasp it. My fault" he said in answer to the operators pro- fuse apology. "The wet film slipped out of my hands. Send down stairs and tell Miss Henderson to write the sitter to come again"
 Two days later Evelyn Hope again ascended to the operating room and noted with satisfaction that the opera. tor was not the one she had seen on her first visit. As he turned to re ceive her she gave cry of surprise.
 "Evany' she gasped. "Is 1t really your Then impulsively she went for. ward, both hands outstretched

The enforcement of this clause would prevent the sale of liquor in the house and senate restau- rants, but 1t is generally believed that the members of the house voted for the amendment with the full confidence that the senate would reject it.
 The Hill subsidiary coinage bill passed the house last week. According 10 the democrats this is another blow at the su- premacy of silver, and will result in the gradual retirement of all silver dollars and their recoinage into coins of smaller de- nomination. According to the republi- cans the bill will provide an increase of small coins, which is imperative to the business interests of the country. This is probably the only financial legislation which will be considered by the house during this session, although the Fowler bill will remain on the calendar to be taken up early in the short session.
 According to the program arranged by the committee on rules to-day will be de. voted to the District of Columbia busi. ness, and this will be followed by the Pa. cific cable bill. The advocates of both private and government ownership are prepared to make a vigorous fight in sup. port of their contentious, and, while the lines are not at all partisan, they are sharply drawn and promise lively con. test. The cable bill will be followed by the Hansbrough-N Newlands irrigation bill, which was endorsed by democratic eau GUS one day last week, and which 1t is be lieved has many friends on the republi. can side of the chamber. In fact, MT Newlands told me Saturday that the pro. moters of the bill had considerably more than sufficient votes pledged to secure the passage of the measure.
 | The senate committee on territories has decided not to report the omnibus state hood bill, greatly to the disappointment of the enthusiastic delegates who have done so much hard work. The bill will remain in committee until the short ses sion, when 1t may be possible to get Il out. The indications are that if the bill had been reported 1t would have passed the senate.
