SHE REFUSED TO OBEY.
Demise of Woman Who Had the Old
Marriage Service
Revised.

Mrs. Sarah J. Harper Starr Of Belle
vue, was buried the other day in the
family mausofeum at Zelienople. Penn,
and most wonderful life was ended,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mrs. Starts marriage In Cincinnati
on May 20. 1849, is OF historical i'm
portance In ecclesiastical circles Miss
Harper was 16 years old and had been
studying in college with view to
missionary life In foreign lands. DR..
Starr, a young physician, was studying
toward the same end and the couple
decided to wed.
Miss Harper had ideas Of her own
on the question of the word "obey" in
the ritual Of the church, and decided
that for her 1t should be eliminated.
She found a friend in Rev. Maxwell
Gladdis, assistant pastor of Morris
chapel, Cincinnati, who promised to
omit the word during the ceremony,
and she was married, but friends were
inconsiderate enough to say the mar
riage was invalid and at the next meet
ing Of the general conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, held IN
Cincinnati, the clergyman who had
omitted the word was "churched.
Finally the question became general,
and later, when decisive action was
taken, the sentence "serve and obey
was ordered stricken out Of the matri-
monial ritual Of the discipline OF the
Methodist church.

PIANOS WINTER KILLED.
1ore Susceptible to Extreme Heat
or Cold Than Human
Beings.

winter killing of pianos," says an
expert tuner who has done wo. k for
Paderewski, Hoffman, Arthur Whiting
and q host Of other celebrated must
clans, lis something that most owners
Of musical instruments take no account
of. Yet 1t is as serious as the winter
kliiing Of shrubbery and needs to be
as carefully guarded against
Especially since all the world has
come to live in steam-heated houses
and flats the business that the piano
tuner ought to get, and often doesn't,
has increased immensely. A piano is
really more susceptible to excess of
heat and lack Of moisture than human
beings are.
1T is bad enough. Of course, that
men and women will live all winter
long in rooms at 80 degrees, with every
particle of moisture baked out of the
air. They naturally get colds and
pneumonia from the experience. Mean
time it's just as fatal to the piano,
which cannot properly stand more
than ~ degrees of the artificial heat.
During the American closed season,
as our English cousins like to call 1t,
hundreds of thousands Of musical in
struments go to rack and ruin. The
moisture is dried out Of the sounding
board and all the other wooden parts,
which warp and twist and disastrous
ly affect the action.
at Is surprising, anyway, how negli-
gent people are In their treatment OF
instruments for which they pay great
deal Of money. There's a lesson for
the amateurs in the firmness with
which professionals insist that their
pianos shall be kept right up to the
mark and not allowed to get out Of or
der in the slightest particular.
elm music school, too, the teachers
have to be particular in having the in
struments frequently attended to. The
pianos in the New England Conserva-
tory of Music, for example, are all
tuned at least every Eve weeks"
