Final Organ Recital

The Lenten series of organ recitals
at st. Anne's Church Will come TO a
close on Thursday evening of this
week at s o'clock with what will prob
ably prove the most attractive of the
series. The organist will be the cele-
brated Miles Farrow, of st. Paul S
Episcopal Church, Baltimore, and he
viii be assisted by two of the leading
voices of his remarkable choir Mr..
Frank j. Taylor, the tenor soloist,
and young Mr.. Tharpe, the leading
boy soprano soloist. Mr.. Farrow
easily ranks with the leading orgnists
and choirmasters of the country; in
deed. many persons think that in him
ST. Paul's has the best in the coun-
try. His success has been remarkable
i'm developing and maintaining the
high standard of excellence that has
for many years delighted all who
heard st. Paul's organ and choir.
He has a great reputation also for
finding and training fine individual
voices for his choir, and the two
that will be heard on Thursday night
are among the best that he has ever
had. The program will be published
later. 1t is understood that the acci-
dent TO the bellows of the organ, which
brought the cantata of The CrucifiN
ion" 10 an abrupt close on Sunday
evening. has been repaired by the
builders or the oragn, or will be re-
paired, in ample time for the recital.
As the recital on Thursday next is
outside of, or in addition TO, the four
which were originally subscribed for,
the committee expressed the hope at
the foot of the last programme, that
all who attend will contribute AT the
least silver offering towards the
expenses of the series.

GIVING TIE ROYAL ASSENT.
Lord Thurow Rathes Unceremoniou;

Lord ThurIoW RatI7eS Unceremonious,
According to George III.
At the close of@the late parliament
airy session five peers, atcing under
letters patent, went through the an
cient and picturesque ceremony of
giving the royal assent to those bills
which have completed their stages
According to the constitution the ap-
proval Of the monarch is essential be-
fore a bill can become law, but it is
nearly 200 years since an occupant
of the British throne was so greatly
daring as to disapp1Dve of a parlia-
mentary measure.
George III. was once minded that
way. He had gone down to the coun-
try when Lord Eldon followed him
and proceeded to explain the charac-
ter of certain bills for which the royal
assent was desired. This did not suit
King George. Bring down the bills
for me to read" he exclaimed, cor do
as Thurlow did, "And what was
that, your majesty?" asked Lord Ell
don. s'Well, Thurlow read several
bills once and then said, Its all non
sense to make you understand them
and you had better consent to them
at once"

No Need of Fresh Air in House on
Sunday.
He was a solemn Scotchman, with
an equally solemn and somewhat
down-trodden wife The fact that they
were receiving an excellent price for
their Second pair, 'front.' from an
American ledger did not blind them
to her failings.
Dear me, Mr.. Macleod,' said the
ledger one Sunday afternoon, when an
errand took her to the parlor, where
the family sat, 81 should think you
and your wife would be stifed sitting
indoors this hot day with the win
dows shut. If you'd just open one
and get some fresh air, I'm sure il
would do Mrs Macleod good; she
looks pale.''
Mr.. Macleod looked at her with his
usual stern and unbending gaze.
I'VE can haze fresh air ony day.
he said, calmly. We've no need to
haze it rushing about the house on the

JEWISH LANDOWNERS.
In Europe They Hold 24a Times as
Much as They Did 40 Years Ago.

In Europe They Hold 243 Times as
Much as They Did 40 Years Ago.
The anti-.jew faction in Russia de-
clares that even with the present re-
strictions the jews have managed to
acquire a large portion OF land, for
which the following figures are quoted
in the Jewish magazine, the Menorah:
within the Pale the real estate OF
the Jews advanced from 10000 des-
siatins in 1860 to 14S000 in 1870, &c.,
900 in 1890, and to 1,265,000 in 1900.
''In the kingdom Of Poland the
Jews held 10000 dessiatins in 1860,
$4,000 in 1870, 10000 in 1880, $751;
600 in 1890, and 1,2G5 600 in 1900
In European Russia outside the
Pale Jewish landholding is said
have increased 248 times in forty
years in the following proportion: In
1860, 5000 dessiatins; in 1870, $4,000
dessiatins; in 1880, $4,000 dessiatins;
in 1890, $4,000 dessiatins, and in 1900.
745,000 dessiatins.'
According to these statistics the
total holdings Of the Jews throughout
the Russian empire, which only
amounted to 10000 dessiatins in 1860,
reached in 1900 the high figure or
2,3S1,O57 dessiatins, cut Of which the
Jews own as their property 1,445,OOO
dessiatins, while the remaining dess1-
atins are rented by them as tenants.

EXPLORER RIDES A TURTLE.
De Rousemont Shows a London Audi

De Rougernont Shows London Audi
ence How Easy 1t Is.
Six years ago M de Rougemont APP
peared before the geographical section
of the British Association at Clifton
and described with much wealth of
detail his remarkable adventures in
the heart CT the Australian continent,
says the London Daily Graphic. He
included among them some striking
"reminiscences of the pearling industry
in Australia, and added that, having
been wrecked, he occupied some part
of his leisure by riding turtles in the
lagoon of his desert island. Yester-,
day after the lapse of many days, he
appeared-in a striped bathing blanket
and bathing suit-before a British
audience at the hippodrome to demon
strate the truth of this part of his
narrative.
There is no ground for supposing
that it is the same turtle which shared
NJ. de Rougemont's solitude in Austral-
asia, or that it is confederate in any
way. Yesterday it lay placidly by the
hippodrome lagoon while NJ. de Rouge
mont lectured once again on his en-
PERTAINING experiences, and it gave no
sign of intelligence while he described
the whole art Of turtle riding. Sud
denly the explorer flung off his blanket
and, Selling the turtle uncerimoniously
by the scruff of it's neck and the back
of it's shell, hoisted it into the water.
The turtle sank, but rose again. M.
de Rougemont went in after it and in
a moment was on it's back. Down it
went again and then once more rose.
This time the rider grasped it firmly,
crying eta 'Ra RAJ" and slapped it
with some severity. 1t was an ex-
citing and amusing entertainment
from the spectators point of view, and
M. de Rougemont also appeared to en-
joy it very much. Of the turtles en-
ioyment we have some doubt but it's
general attitude was that of a passive
resister. At any rate M. de Rouge
mont did ride it.

Professional asker"

Sir. r. Harrington, at the Dis
charged Prisoners Aid society confer
ence at Cardiff, told story of friend
whose servant left to get married. He
lost sight Of her for a long time, but
at last she called at his house, very
we'll dressed and looking very pros
porous. He asked her what her hus-
bands occupation was.
She was reticent on the subject,
but at last, after a deal Of pressing,
said he was an asker which meant
a wandering beggar. She added that
her husband could go down about 120
streets in the course Of day, and
that it was very bad street that did
not produce a half-penny, so that he
earned about 5 shillings day.

THE DESERT RAGE.
It Sometimes Breaks Out on Man in
a Restaurant

It Sometimes Breaks Out on Man in
a Restaurant.
There IS a strange, dry, choking
passion OF rage that sweeps over a
man at intervals after he has lived
in one of these desert towns for a
year, and fed IN their restaurants.
Men who camp out in the hills with
their sburros, and who cook their own
beans baccn and dried apples are
free from it's attack.
The attack comes upon the man
after the waiter has taken his order
and returned to lay before him a gal
lazy OF oddity colored varieties Of
flesh and vegetables in their thick,
white oval dishes.
On sudden the man feels that he
is abused. He is injured; hurt in his
tenderest feelings; only bitter wall
will give relief.
He rises in his seat, and with his
hands rigid and his jaws locked,
grinds out through his teeth some
two or three sincere, crisp, cracking
Drofanities. Then he gets his hat,
pays his bill and goes away.
The other occupants of the restau-
rant pay no attention. tits the pas
sion of the DESERT they say, and
continue eating.
The man gets over it in the course
of half an hour. The attack is a hys-
terra, born of the heat, the unpleas-
ant look of the food, the flies that
contest the right of ownership, and a
general revolt against everything I'M
der the sun. Sometimes it attacks one
of those natural orators. who can
bless and curse with equal fuency.
At least when it hit this man he got
on his feet, shut his eyes and settled
his head we'll back on his neck and
began:
Great God, .snite and destroy this
place. Rain down thy wrath and an
ger upon it. Let it's name be a by
word among men; let it wither and
crumble to dust Let it be a shame
and a reproach forever. And, Lord,
forget not the cook Carve him with
thy lightnings and stuff his fat car
cass with thy thunderbolts ---!''
We felt he was just getting good,
but the landlady seemed to think he
was becoming personal, so he paid his
bill and left.
1t passes away.

Toad,s Lonu Sleep.

A remarkable case of toad sleep
ing for twenty years is reported from
Stone. in Staffordshire. Twenty years
ago George Lewis built houses in
front of which were large stone steps.
This week the steps were removed,
and imprisoned in the stone work a
toad was found in a comatose state,
but it soon became active when re-
moved into the, sunshine. There can
be no doubt that the toad has lived
twenty years in a Theoretically sealed
chamber, as all around, in perfect
condition, was a foot thickness Of
stone and cement, and the toad was in
the center of the cavity.

WHAT CAUSES "THE BENDS"
Frenchman Discovers How the Gals
son Disease Originates.


son Disease Originates.
The work Of constructing several
tunnels under rivers, requiring the
use of caissons or ''air lOcks,' has
caused a relatively rare disease to be-
come common in New York, and the
subject of some general interest. The
bends" as this malady is called by
workmen, was first observed among
pearl divers, but it was a consider.
able time before medical men under
stood the cause Of the peculiar condi-
ton, and then it was by an accident
that the discovery was made.
A French Investigator in physiology,
", Bert, while Studying the effects
Of Increases IN air PRESSURE on ami
mails, had the good fortune to have
his apparatus explode. The dog in the
glass bell of the compression pump
died Immediately. The idea occurred
to Bert that perhaps he had simulated
1T, this accident the conditions which
cause caisson disease and he set to
work to find out of what his dog had
So SuuuSllly ulSu.
The only abnormal condition Bert
could find was the presence OF bub'
bles of air in the heart and that this
was an adequate cause for death had
been known since the time of Galen
A careful repetition of Bert's expert
ment has shown that the conditions
he found are almost present when
death results from sudden .decom-
preston.
Studies made by medical men have
confirmed Bert's theory in it's appli
cation to man. Under ordinary con
ditions a certain amount of air pres
sure be increased, as it is in a com
preston lock, to two or three times
atmospheric pressure the result is
that much larger quantity of air
goes into solution with the blood
Then if decomposition (the return tc
normal atmospheric pressure) is quick
the dissolved air escapes as bubbles
into the circulation, and much harm
results to the individual, in that these
air bubbles act as foreign bodies in
the blood vessels and obstruct the
flow of the blood. J At times the es
cape of the dissolved air from its
state of solution in the blood is SO vic
lent that it rupture sab lood vessel.

YOUNG COUPLE
REPORTED TO
HAVE ELOPED
o. VI. Ferrin and Miss Bessie Parson
Said to Have Taken Train
For Sacramento.

Mischievous Cupid has raised
havoc in Ely. and pretty Miss Bessie
Parson and o. NJ. Perrin are said to
have departed for Sacramento, Cal.
According to the story told by a
railroad man, the young couple
quietly skipped out of Ely yesterday
morning and are now speeding on
toward the Capital city of the Col
den state. The railroad man states
he saw the young couple board the
morning train. and that kind train
men assisted them by hiding them in
the Pullman until the train was Iar
beyond Georgetown.
Miss Parson was well known in
Ely and was an attractive young
lady Ferrin and Richard Richards
owned the local shooting gallery. the
latter having sold out his interest a
few days ago Miss Parson was evil
IDENTIFY keeping company with the
young man. and of late was seen
quite often at the gallery.
Rumor has it that the pretty miss
had trouble at home Sunday, and
upon leaving vowed she would not
return. She evidently has proceeded
to keep her word. Ferrin sold out
his gallery Sunday night to a man
named Geiger. who is now conduct
ing the place. Yesterday morning he
and the young lady, with their grips
packed, boarded the train and were
secluded in the Pullman by one of
the train hands. That was the last
heard of them.
