OBITUARY..

On the evening OF May 18th, be-
tween, the hours of mine and ten,
while the night birds poured forth
their solemn songs, the rude hand of
death thrust it's shadowy form
through the intervening space of
earth and eternity, and laid its icy
embrace upon the life of Frank Hart
sci Stevens, the beloved son of Mr..
and Mrs. ". P. Stevens.
In January, 1888, Frank gazed for
the first time upon the worldly light.
He spent his childhood days on his
fathers farm, chasing the butterflies
from flower to flower, obeying the
commands of his christian parents,
and entertaining his associates with
pleasant smiles from his good natured
countenance. But he was not to remain
child. AS the moments rolled by
his childlike form was changed to the
perfection of physical manhood; his
youthful mind was developed into an
iron intellect; and at the age of
twenty his age at death he stood on
the very threshold Of his manhood
the pride and JOY of his parents, the
favorite of his kindred and the below
ed friend of all who knew him.
Among the many good traits of lis
character, he possessed one noble and
beautiful trait, which is we'll worth
mentioning. 1t is trait worthy to
be initiated by his survivors.
Frank in all of his life was never
known to yield to hypocracy. He
never denied his short comings, and
never tried to appear better than he
really was.
A few days before his death, upon
being Intercepted by his father and
his pastor, concerning his salvation,
he stated that he had laid his earthly
record under the blood stained banner
of the cross, and that he had the as
surance that eternal peace would be
his portion And when we think of
his sincere principles in his earthly
life we can entertain no doubt that
his last statement was guided by the
unseen hand of the Almighty.
Frank was sick only nine days, and
he bore his dreadful suffering with
great foltitude until the last sad hour
when there came a gasp,a sigh, a palled
expression; and the body was dead; but
soul winged it's spirit toward the
shining portals of the Celestial
Home" to sperd, the eternity in the
noon tide splendor OF a blissful i'm
mortality.

Others derive It from "Thor aide!" a

Others point to the Swedish and Dan

Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in

who helped me some, but was still in

auLrAN AND AIs pLAYERs.

Actors Have Military orranl1atlon and
Are Subject 70 Immediate Call.
The sultan OF Turkey has mas own
way Of taking his theatrical pleasures.
N account Of the performances given
before him was recently made public
by one who was long attached to the
palace stan, and IL reads like one ex.
aggerationB OF comic opera librettist.
The power that controls all these
performances is Arturo Stravolo,
known simply as Arturo, who came
from Naples some years ago and set
tied with hts father, mother, sisters
and brothers and sisters-in-law in Con-
stentinople. He was formerly q dia-
lect comedian in Naples.
He Is a prime favorite with the sui
tan. The other actors are called to
the palace TO perform not oftener than
once q month. Arturo acts at least
weekly.
As the sultan is very fond OF variety
and VIII rarely consent to witness the
same performance twice It is neces.
sary TO provide constant change. To
do this one OF the Stravolos is always
travelling through the European capt.
tails at the expense OF his patron seek
ing novelties.
All of the sultan's actors must wear
a certain uniform They have a mill
tary organization Angelo is lieuten-
ant; the Riolinist, Luigi, is a captain;
the baritone, Gaetano, ia a major, and
the tenor. Nicola, is general, The
performances take place at no fxed
time, but whenever 1t appears to the
sultan that he would like to see a
show. Thus the company, like sol
diers, must always be ready to march.
Frequently the director Of the or
chestra, Amanda Pasha, will be mott
tied in the middle OF the night that
be must come 70 the palace as quickly
as possible. He learns on arriving
that his majesty desires to hear "Un
Ballo in Maschera," OF some other
opera. AS the sultan's wish is com
nand, the opera begins within half an
hour.
The sultan sits entirely alone, as a
rule. and II any point in the action OF
either play or opera is not clear he
halts the performers until 1t is ex-
planned to him.
