Mr.Platte said he could not object to the bill being read & sccond time and referred to the committee. Mr, * Blair said he had introduced the bill in entire . good faith, He understood that in North Carolina :!ona there were to-day 20,000 ex-soldiers of he confederacy who had fost limbs in_tho sorvice, and that a very large number of ‘were in poor circumstances, It seemed him that if the government under this dministration or under any other admnis- gration fiavu appointments to men who had gen isloyal the preference should be given those who had served in the confederato .my and were now disabled, other things (4L g equal. The.debate was continued up to 2 o'clock, when the bill went over till “fo-morrow without action.

The northern senators were of one accord_in_condemning ““the measure as unwise aund ill considered. The senate then took up the calendar, passed several bills, and, after executive session, adjourned. House. WasmnaroyN, March, 20.—Mr. Enlow, of * ‘Honnossee, rising to a question of privilege, read a petition in favor of abill to regulate £ $ho classifioation and _comvensation of post- “masters. The petition, he said, was signed v=4n response to a circular sent .out by an at- forney in this city. The circular named " warious members of congress as a reference, put he had learned that those references ‘were fraudulent.

The oppo- ents of the resolution, led by Mr. Rogers of Arkansas, proceeded to obstructive methods [ provent action, fter the roll call Mr. O'Neill stated that In order to remove the pretext under which e gentlemen were resorting to filibustering ctics, he was willing to amend the resolu- on by striking out the clause limiting the $ime of debate on each measure called up. Mr. Rogers objected tothe charge that Ea ‘was acting under a pretext, The reason “he was offering obstructions was that the gommittee on labor, with four bills on the Galondar, was asking to have four days as- ‘$igned, when the appropriation bill Fomained undisposed of, and the mmittee on ways and means was aturing & bill affecting the interests f honest ‘labor a hundred times more than ~@uy conceivabie proposition over which the - fpowmimittee on labor had jurisdiction.

WAsHINGTON, March 20.—The counsel for the manufacturers of refined lard opened their case before the house committee on ag- riculture this morning. James Matthews, one of the witnesses examined, testified that he had worked for six or seven years for Squires & Co* He said the firm made two kinds of lard, leaf and pure lard. The pure lard, hesaid, was made from hog’s heads, hnfi 's feet, rough lard and white grease. The white grease was made from guts and unches. Tt was refined with soda and put n on top of the lard, Seven or eight ticrces of pig’s feet grease were purchased by T'L‘-‘l‘ns & Co., and mixed in with the pure a Other witnesses corrobated this testimony as to the use of white grease in making lard in_ Squires’ establishment. After con- siderable more testimony an adjournment was talken. National Finances. ‘WaAsSHINGTON, March 20.—The senate com- mittee on finance this morning amended the Aldrich bill “To authorize the secretary of the treasury to apply surplus money in pro- payment of interest on the public debt,” and ordered a favorable report upon it. The first section of the original bill authorizing the purchase of bonds with the surplus, is stricken out. The billas it stands author- izes the recretary to receive any 4 per cent bonds and issue'in exchange 2§ per cents payable at maturity of the 4 per cents and exempt from state or municipal taxation. The committee also authorized Senator Sher- man to report favorably a bill to wipe out the charges against states for the loan of 1886, which amounts between §20,000,000 an: $20,000.000, e Amending the Tariff Bill. WasmiNaToN, March 20.—Several amend- ments were made to the Mills tariff bill be- fore its completion in committee. One of these makes ornamental earthenware, which is made dutiable by the bill at 40 per cent ad valorem, to pay a duty of 45 per cent ad val- orem. In the iron schedule the entire clause relating to steel ingots, and fixing the duty on that class of manufactures, which was re-classified to some extent, at 57 per cent ad valorem, was stricken from the 'bill, leaving the duty at the present figure of 45 per cent ad valorem, Hemp, flax and jute twines, which pay about, 30 per cent. duty ad valorem, and which the original bill proposes to place at 25 per cent,, was still further reduced last night to 15 per cent. The present indications are that the bill will be reported to the house in the early art of next weok, although the committee nud not formally directed a report to be made. e VOTED IN 1THE AFFIKMATIVE. Meagre Returns Show a Choice for 1ssuing Bonds. K There was but hittle interest manifested in the special election held yesterday for the purpose of ratifying the action of the city council in voting the issuing of $100,000 in city bonds for paving and a like amount for SCWErage purpo: A light vote was cast throughout the city, and the polling places had but few callers, a number of those se- lected not even being opened. This caused some dissension, and in all probability the clerks and inspactors will be called up to explain their disregard of their duties and the law. That apathy which prevailed among frecholders was also evident among clerks and inspectors, who up to a late hour last night had not made returns. From ac- counts received it is known, however, that the votes for the bonds were greatly in ex- cess of those in the negative. Filed Articles of Incorporation. The Star Lumber company, whose princi- pal place of business is at Neenah, Wis., and their capital stock £10,000, filed articles of in- corporation with the county clerk yesterday. The incorporators are John R. Davis, Ellen Amelia Davis, of Neenah, Wis.; B. W. Davis, of Phillips, Wis.; Renfrew Btevenson, of Council Bluffs, Ia., and A. J. Whidden, of Omaha. isheer O Another Cold Wave. The following notice of the approach of another cold wave was received by Observer Chappel at 6 o'clock last night: St, PauL, Minn., March 20.—To Observer, Omaha: Hoist cold wave signal. Tempera® ture will fall from fifteen to twenty-five de- grees by Thursday morning. Wooprure, Licutenant. A CHILD'S LIFE SAVED When six months old the loft hand of our little grandehild began to swell and had every appearance of a large Yoll.

He then lad two of them on_each haad, and as his biood *became more and .uore imyure it took le s time for them to break out. A sore came on the chin beneath the under lip, which was very oftensi,ve. His head was one s0lid scab, discharging » great deal. This was nis condition at twenty-two months old, when I undertook the care of m, his mother havin died when he was a little more than & year ol of consumption (scrotula of course). 1e could walk a little, but could not get up if he fell down, and could not move when inbed, havin 10 use of his hands, [ immediately commence with the CUTICURA REMEDIES, using the Curr- CURA and CUTIOURA SoAP freely, and when he had taken one bottle of the CUTICURA RESOL- VENT, his head was completely cured, and he was _improved in every way. We were very much encouraged, and continued the use of the remedies for & year and & half. One sore after another healed, a bony matter forming in each one of these five deep ones just bafore healing, ‘which would finally grow 10ose and were taken ut; then they would heal rapidly.

A Rumor Current That the Brakemen and Switchmen on the Buar lington Will Join the Locomotive Men. Resumption of Trafic, Mansmarrows, Ia., March 20.—[Special Telegram to the Begr.|—The Central Towa engineers returned to work at noon to-day. Fourteen freight trains were started from this station during the afternoon on the Central. The shop and office empl pended during the strike are ordered to re- turn to work. Towns on the Story City branch received their first mail to-night since Friday. The scttiement of the strike was the result of a five-hour conference be- twoen six represebtatives of the brotherhood, Receiver Dudley and a representative of the court. The terms of agreement are not known. > The Sixth Wreck. CnestoN, Ia., March 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Brr.]—An cast-bound stoek train ran against some cars standing on a side-track in the yards here this afternoon, knocking the cylinder heads and cab off the® engine and upsetting three box-cars. This makes the sixth wreck happening between Chariton and Red Oak during the past five days. Two ongines rasped against each other at a switch frog in the Creston yards Saturday night, disabling both. New engine men aro still arriving from the east and the local brotherhoods still hold three sessions daily. The latter are enthusiastic over late news from Chicago, not yet made public. A Rumored Combination. Currcaco, March 20.—The feature of the Burlington strike to-day was the rumored combination between the engineers and fire- men and the 2,500 switchmen and brakemen employed on the road. Inquiry among brake- men and switchmen failed to authenticate the rumor, although they admitted having heard of it and declaring that its consumma- tion would mean certain defeat to the “Q'f eomlmnyA So far as actual observation goes o change in the relative positions of the brotherhood and “Q" was to be seen to-day. The latter maintains it is pursuing the even tenor of its way undisturbed by the wars and rumors of wars on other roads, while the former express themselves satisfied with the situation and as confident of success as when first the strike was called. Nothing New Locally. There is absolutely nothing to say about the strike on the Burlington. The trains are claimed to be running regularly, and there is no hitch in the freight trafiic. The Burlington officials claim that they have no fears of a general strike, and even if one should oécur their road would be greatly benefitted, as their freight receipts woula be largely in- creased. They claim that Chief Arthur, of the brotherhood, will never order a strike if ne lives up to his word. He has said that the issue was between the engineers and tha Burlington, and that the engincers must win a victory or suffer defeat rignt there. The Burlington managérs claimed that they have ‘won, and that their victory is an overwhelm- ing one. If the Union Pacific engineers strike the B. & M. will do the greater share of the business. Hence the tieup on the former would not be disastrous to them in any way. B 1t was learned at the Union Pacific head- quarters yesterday that the engineers have made no announcement a8 yet as to what they intend to do. Anumber of merchants were seen yester- day morning. Every one expressed sympathy- with the strikers, but believed that they should accept defeat quietly and seek em- ployment elsewhere. A tie-up on the Union Pacific would cause thousands of merchants to loose heavily and would create enmity for the engineers where now sympathy and friendship exists. Said one of the prominent, shippers: *I don’t think the boys will strike on the Union Pacific. By so doing they would help the B. & M. and create illfeeling toward themselves everywhere. MET AT AN ENGINEER'S HOUSE. The grievance committee held a short session at the Cozzens house shertly after noon yesterdsy, What they did was not disclosed, and the delegation with a few engineers went out after the meeting with a view, it is said, of continuing their deliber- tions in the privacy afforded at] the home of some of their number. Up to a late hour last night the committee had not returned to the hotel, and what action they decided upon is not known, There were nochanges in the local situation at the depots at midnight, Everything was reported running smoothly on the Union Pacific, and this statement was substantiated by the activity with which switch engines worked and the prompt departure of freights. ‘The men on this road insist that they are handling no Burlington cars as yet, but refuse to say what would be the outcome if they were asked to, These statements are substantiated by assurances from disinter- ested parties, who have taken the troubie to watch departing teains, that cars of the road mentioned have not been pulled. Burlington & Northern's Say. Cuicaco, Mal 20.—The managers of the northwestern lines have received advice from the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road that its consent to join in the movement to advance rates in the west applied to points on its own line, but did not include the Bur- lington & Northern. As faras the rates to and from the latter road were concerned they would have to be made by an agreement by the managers of that line. ~The manager of the Burlington & Northern 1nsists upo the establishment of a pro-rdte on all pu ness between St. Paul and the seaboard, as a. condition of the advance. The northwestern lines will consider the matter Friday. A Sample Scab. LixcoLy, Neb., March 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the B —As an illustration of the character of men employed by the Bur- lington road at the present time, the local committee has received s copy of a letter written by a scab engineer. The letter is dated at Turlington, Neb., and was written to Charles Daniels, master mechanic of the Santa Fe at San Bernardino, Cal. ‘w'he letter says: “Mr. Charles Damels—Dear Sir: I am going to ask afavorof you and will repay you well for your trouble, and it will be a big favor.” The scab recites that when the strike occurred here he went to the offices and got a job pulling a passenger train, He says he reccived a notice that he should get a recommend and he could then keep his job permanently, He asks Daniels to give him a letter stating that he has had six or eight months runing experience and prom- ises him a valuable present in return. Dan- iels, when he received the letter, posted it on the register and an engineer copied it and sent a copy to the brotherhood here. The engineer says that he knows the applicant for & recommendation well and that he started at the same time he did firing, but was discharged for drunkenness and non- payment of board bill: that he had never run an engine and his attempt to secure a falso recommendation did not work with the mas- ter mechanic . at San Bernardine. The copies of the letter were forward ed here . that the public might be posted as to the character of the men the Burliogton road has employed to handle pas- senger Lrains, and the letter will be turned over to the state board of trausportation to assist them in unearthing the incompetency of the company, . Travel on the B.'& M. and freight trafic through the storm was even more wretched than common. Freights were practically abandoned, @nd a © half train that started “out was stalled near = West Liucoln and brought back to the city. Some of the trains were twel hours off time. Reports received by the engineers state that eugines 111-and 105 have been towed in from off the road ready todesward to the shops for eral répairs, engine 105 being badly in- ju and uirfag (webutlding. As an illustration toaveling on the Bur- lington at the i present time, . two Lincoln ladios - staried last Wednes- day for Keokuk, ‘#nd _ got far as Creston with samer difficulty, but they conld get no furthersand after tedious wait- ing they turned around andcame back hom reaching Lincoln Saturday, Commercia men constantly complincof the service, and their business at poiats on the road any dis- tance out from Lincoln #s_practically broken up without it can be reached by some other line. It is a_noticeable fact that the falso bulletins issued by Paul Morton recites none of theso facts of overy-day occurrence. The Sanfd Fe Strike. Kaxsas Crry, March 20.—The Santa Fe road is getting all of its trains off on time and the accumulation of freight in the yards is being so greatly reduced that the company will be ready to receive all business by this evening, More Sympathetic Resolutions, At the regular meeting of the Central labor union the following resolutions were adopted by the federated trades and labor of Omaha: Whereas, The brotherhoods of locomotive ongineers and firemen have been on a strike for some time, and yet, whilo conducting themselves peacefully, have not accomplished the desired end; and believing that it is tho duty of all labor organizations {o consider the interests of each separate organization, thereby protecting the workers from the en- croachments and abuses of corporative power; and further, having considered the dangers confronted by railroad employes in the discharge of uheir duties; therefore, Resolved, That the Central labor union de- nounce the action of General Manager Stone and his corporative colleagues in not com- plying with the demand of the locomotive engincers and firemen for an increase of wages placing them on an equal footing with the engineers and firemen of competing lines; and further, in the event that the brother- hoods should need assistance, that this body Euc forth overy effort to extend a helping and to them, Resolved, That this federation considers the decision of Judge Dundy to be as prema- ture as it is partial and misleading. It en- genders a discontent between employers and employed which would not exist were it not for such ubuses of judicial authority. It con serves the eleménts of feudalism and places him in the front ranks of the ‘‘conservators of barbarism, as Voltaire (himself a lawyer) has styled the lawyers, York, Neb.,, March 17.—The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by Star Assembly 7387, Knights of Tabor: Resolved, That we believe the demands of the locomotive engineers and firemen of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy fair and just, and do not approve of any of our members taking their places. Resolved, Thut we consider the actions of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy despotic and tyrannical. Resolved, That we do not consider parties who take the places of strikers fit subjects for our order and request that our members will report to the recording secxetary the names of such parties from our city as they may hear of them from time to time. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the engineers' and firemen's brotherhood, to the Omaha Bee and our city papers. R. S. e BALTIMORE r: M.' O. A. BAZAR. Attractive Features Promised at the Coming Arc Entdrtainment. Bavtmore, Md., Mar¢h 17.—The grand leap-year bazar and ayt entertainment to be held during Easter week by the Young Men’s Christian associatioti in thieir building, cor- ner of Charles and Saratogastreets, -prom- ises to be a great success and a very novel and interesting affair, One of the features will be that young, liye: business men will have charge of it; backed by such of our wealthy and influential “citizens as W. W. Spence, who is president of the bazar; Hamilton Easter, Joshua Tevering, George Daniel Holliday, . . Indced, almolt’ nfl the substantini eople 6f our city are directly intérested in ts success. All the different rooms will be used for the entertainment, and there will be in-all twelve departments, ‘or booths, repro- senting the months of the year. Each one will'be presided oyer by a chairman and com- mittee, and it is hardly necessary to say that each committeeman will try to have his booth the most attractive and taking amongst them all. For instance, May will represent the flower booth, and here you'll find all the lovely flowers that “bloom in the spring,” ete. Then the February booth will be one showing the “Power of the Press, and here you will find papers on sale from every state in the union, from Maine to Cali- fornia. Each paper contains an account of the bazar. Here, too, in this booth you will find one of the most approved printing presses, run by electricity and printing on the spot, there hofore your eyes, the ovening paper, "The Power of the Press,” which will be issued each evening and will contain all of interest concerning the bazar. Here, too, you will have an opportunity to buy vis- iting cards with your name printed on_ them while you wait, and there you will be able to buy all sorts of books and papers, the work of that great factor in these times, the print- ing press, and 8o on; then another month will represent a grocery store and a glass store, etc., ete. Then the art loan exhibit in the hands of such men as John MoKim, Faris Pitt and Mr, Spence and Mr. DBrooks willbe splendid. The funds to be raised are for the furnishing, refitting, etc., in nine- teenth century style and comfort the roims of our Young Mon’s €hristian association. Prohibitionsts Look Solemn. Des Moixes, Ta., March 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.|—The decision of the su- preme court regarding the transportation of liquors into the state withont & permit, was something of a bomb in the ranks of the ex- treme prohibitionists. They had cometo be- lieve the Iowa supreme court a little higher than any other judicial body on earth. They do not hesitate to-day to express their chargrin and say that they think they will have difii- aulty in making prohibition as ironclad os they had expected. The railroad men are happy, and say this_relieves them from the great annoyance and bother of putting liquor on the swme basis os any other article of inter-state traffic. The anti-prohibitionsts say that this decision will be followed by ono declaring invalid the decision of the Iowa supreme court, forbidding the manufacture of liquor for export, the ground on which the big distillery was closed. This case will be argued at Washington the 25th of this montn, e, A Dubuque Bank Goes Under. Dusuque, Ia., March 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the 13Em.]—Greatly to the surprise of this city it was antounced this evening that the Commercial National bank, one of the largest of the city,had closed its doors and asked for a receiver; | Its last published statoment showed a total of resources of $585,651. Their capital tock was $100,000, individual deposits $217,16% and demand cer- tificates of deposit $206,757. The trouble with the bank scems ta have buen that a large amount of its funds had been invested in bad enterprises that,had failed, leaving it in the lurch, Its stopkhol’ers and directors includea some of the wealthicot men of the city and it was supposéd they would put their hands in their own pockets and carry it over the trouble, bukdt sgems they didn't. Tue liabilities are not yel known, but they will be quite large. .\ 5 ——ary Delegates inDes Moines, Des MoiNes, Ia., March 20.—The hotels are crowded to-night with delegates to the state convention which meets here to-mor- row. It wiil probably be the largest known in the history of the state, composed of thousand delegates and as many more alte nates. There is special interest in the fac that the convention will probably bring for- ward Senator Allison as a caudidate for the presidency. She Didn't Die. A fondness for other men's company, & desertea wife and an attempt to commit sui- cide form three chapters in the life of a woman residing on Cass street, near Twelfth, The fourth chapter will be devoted to regrets and repentance.

New York, March 20.—The Sun will to- morro\w publish General Adam Badeau's version of the controversy which has arisen between himself and Grant’s family in regard to the claims Badeau makes for compensation for services to Generai Grant in the prepar- ation of his ‘‘Personal Memoirs.” The state- ment is addressed to the ‘‘American Public’ and fills several columns of the Sun. Badeau dofends his position and 1s severe in his strictures on the course pursued by Colonel Fred Grgnt in the matter. He tells how much time and hard unremitting labor he gave the work and how his own book, on which he had spent sixteen years was injured by the sucoess of that of General Grant, which he was at 80 many pains to make perfect. I did not write the original matter,” said he, “‘and in that sense did not compose the book. The thoughts were Gen- eral Grant's and in most cases the original draft of the language. But I suggested much, I told him when to insert descriptions of scencs, where to place an account of & character, how to elaborate the picture ‘of a battle, ete. I discussed his statements and the advisability of his expressions of opinion and often persuaded him to change the one or modify the other. I broke up sentences, I softened or heightened the u&‘cfil« I cor- rected grammer, and all with the knowledge and sanction of General Grant. I always sought to preserve his simplicity and directness and even ruggedness of language and never to betray my own share in the work. He had no idea whatever of building up a chapter or a book, or of treating a themo so as'to lead up to & point or to make .a complete picture of an argument. But the book coutd not have been made what it is without me. There was no one else who had both my pe- culiar knowledge of the theme and literary quality, There was no one else whom he would have allowed to do what I did. But he knew how I loved him and how devoted I was to his fame and he trusted all tome. I would not have told half what I am writing now 1f it had not been extorted from be by referred to by his son. Badeau claims that the letter of dismissal was in the hand- writing of Fred Grant with the exception of the signature.” New York, March 20.—The Herald, speak- ing of Badeau's statement, says editorially : ‘“‘General Badeau avers that General Grant, drugged, diseased and on the verge of the Fmva. signed a letter writlen or improperly nspired by his son, Colonel Grant, which, had he been in his right mind, he ‘would not have signed. This letter, how- evyer, exists in General Grant's literary work on those days of bodily effort and tortures, and copied by his son for convenience, This fact General Badeau, of course, knows per- fectly well. ——— THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION. Schedule Arranged of Games For the Season. Cuicago, March 20.—The managers of the western base ball association adopted a schedule of games to be played this season at a meeting to-day. A resolution relating to the disputed Kansas City ball grounds was adonted declaring the franchise granted Menges revoked, cancelled and annulled, and the franchise to play base ball in Kansas City during the season of 1888 inthe Western association 1s - granted to the Kausas City ball club. All clubs were ordered to place self-registering turn stiles at the entrances to the grounds. St. Louis, Kansas Cit, and Chicago were allowed the privilege of changing gawmes to other than regular grounds to avoid conflicting dates with the American association and National league clubs. The playing of exhi the spring between club members was_pro- hibited. Permission was granted St. Paal, Minneapolis and Omaha to play such games as already arranged between them. ‘Want to Join the Western League. Sr. PAUL, Minn., March 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—Jay W. Anderson, prin- cipal owner of last season’s Duluth ball team, passed through St. Paul last night on his way t0 Chicago in response to a_telegram signed by E. E. Menges, of the Kansas City club and President Thompson of the St. Paul club. Hesaid ho had $3,000 o cash in his possession for the purpose of buying a fran- chise in the western league, but beyond this he had nothing to say. It looks as if a big deal of some kind was on the tapis. —————— AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. Mrs, Oarrie Lane Chapman's ldea of Modern Emigrants. Mrs. Carrie Lane Chapman dolivered a very interesting lecture at the First Chris- tian church last evening on the subject, “America For Americans.” She was favored with a good audience and succeeded in hold- ing their attention throughout the lecture, Mrs. Chapman is a prepossessing woman of about thirty years, She is a fluent talker, has a pleasing address and shows herself to be a woman of broad culture. She first alluded to the character of the first emi- grants, the pilgrims, to this country and the people who foflowed them for a number of years, In the course of time the quality of 1his tido of people kept chauging to the worso until to-day the emigrants to this country comprise the worst scum of Kurope. She thought that the present emigrants should be deterred from coming. 'They are a dan- gerous class of people; they are ignorant and lawless, and breed anarchy nnd crime. They lower the standard of American citizensbip and corrupt the morals of the nation. The stoppage of Chinese immigration was a good thing. The speaker lives in San Francisco and had a chance to_learn sumulhing about these heathens, ~ They should all be sent back to China, Still ina good many respects the celestial is no worse than his Buropean brother, and America is best rid of both of them, THE RIVER AND ITS PIERS, How the lce and the Gorges Affect the Bridges. Yesterday's dispatches in the Bre from Sioux City spoke about the abandonment of the pier in the Missouri river now in course of construction at thut place as a support to the new bridge of the Chicago & Northwest- ern road. The cause of the abandonment was the breaking of the ice-gorge,which was attended with cakes of ice of odigious di- mensions, and a rush of water which filled up the caisson, The men were forced to desist and it will require several days in which to require the water to subside,though no damage is really expected. : Yesterday a 13er reporter visited the site of the bridge now being erected over the Missouri river at the foot of Douglas street, and in a talk with the superintendent, Mr. Scully, ascertained that about the same state of affuirs existed at that point as did _further up the river at the point mentioned. The pier, however, which rests about in the mid- dle of the river, was stillabout ten feet above i Ithough the alr chamber was full of wats The surface was almost covered with cal of “mush” ice which were floating down the stream with more than usual rapidity.

E. church last even- ing have nothing but the warmest praise for it. It was given by the Sunday school classes of Miss Shepard and Miss Harvey,and was under the immediate supervision of Mr. Frank Brown, through whoso efforts it was made the great success it proved.

W. Hills, accompanist. The Sun- day school orchestra, comprising twelye picees, also did some efficient service, Nearly all the members were encored. All the vocal solos wero particularly well recewed. A hearty encore was accorded Leo G. Kratz for his solo—"The Alfar and_the Throne,” and also Miss Roeder with ““Ihe Betier Sand,” while “Ave Mariacby Mrs. J., 0. Clark was most rapturously applauded. The violin solo by Max Lentz is deserving of nore than a passing notice, and Prof. Walt.er's piano s0los were particularly fine. New England and the Yunkee. The fifth lecture of the season before the Young People’s Society of Clmstian En- deavor of the Fourth Congregat')nal church was giveu last evening by Williim H, Alex- ander.
