P HISTORIC CHARACTERS. Pen and Pencil Skotches of Great Men and Fumous Women, History is the world's drama in chapters. From its pages we view a stage alive with typlcal men and women of every station in life and exhibiting every stage in human de- velopment. Each is more or less a counter- part of ourselves, and more or less an in- carnation of our own being. Our own parts have been cast for later acts, dressed with newer scenes and wrought at a further stage in the shifting of the plot, but it is all one stage, and the same grand and mysterious play. It seems almost as if but for some fatal blur in memory we might still be able to trace our lost identity among the throng that moves in the kaleidoscope of history, as if these men and women were but our own rougher selves, slecked o'er in the crucible of the grave. This would explain why his- tory is so dear to all, why it is so like the meeting of old friends—old trials resurrected and good deeds revived, so we may once more cheer them. No wonder then a work in which the ablest writers of our age are engaged to teii the story of the past and our greatest artists paint a vision, should attract universal ad- miration and possess an_absorbing interest second to no other production of modern literature.. “Great Men and Famous Women" is the title under which are presented a series of the lives of more than 200 of the most prom- inent personages in history. A conception of its literary merit may be derived from the list of authors specially engaged to write articles for exclusive publication in this work, among whom we note such names as, Walter Besant, Amelia 3. Barr, Prof. H. H. Boyesen, Will Carleton, Wiiliam Lloyd Garrison, Dr. Cyrus Edson, Ignatius Donnelly, Margaret I, Sangster, Mary V. Terhume (Marion Har- land) Judge Alblon W. Tourgee, Henry Goorge, T. V. Powderly, Harriet Prescott Spofford, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, J. T. Trow- bridge, Charlotte M. Yonge, John P. St. John, Theodore Roosevelt, His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbon, H.

This water flows from a depth of 1,400 feet. It is dis- charged in the center of the lake, and is, con- sequently, absolutely free from any deleteri- ous matier, either animal or vegetable. The water of this lake will not be used for bath- ing or any other purpose that may contam- inate it, or unfit it for the production of ab- solutely’ pure ice. To this condition of the water T pledge my personal care and super- vision, Repe: cashmere and wool ed experiments have shown that this ice hus the merit of resisting heat in melting to a remarkable degree, as compared with river ice or ice from ponds or lakes fed by springs. 1 think it can be shown to pos: a value for domestic use and for storage of not less than 20 percent above all other ice in_this_vicinity. Mr. Frank Mattocks, a_gentleman of large experience and entire reliability, will man- age these ice interests, and I hereby com- mend him to the confidefico of my friends and the people of this city. GEORGE L. MILLER. IN MUSICAL CIRCLE! A New York paper tells this good story on De Koven: Reginald De Koven chasing a fire engine one morning last week about 9:30 or'so was the most astonishing thing Irving place, near Twentieth street, has witnessed for many moons. And Mr. De Koven has good reasons for sprinting after the valuable machine. When he pulled open the folding doors of his library a sheet of flame about as big as the one that blistered “Siegfried” on “Brunhilda’s” rock leaned very viciously toward him. It didn’t take the composer of “Rob Hood” and “Robin Roy” long to under- stand the situation. Yelling out a fire motif in C minor (Reggle studied singing with Vanucinni in Florence, you know), hie reached the street in alla brevo tempo. An alarm was sent, and he returned to the house to fight the fire fiend (as they say in Jersey City). Then the man who gave the signal got into a controversy with a policeman ubout the tint of Dr. Parkhurst's whiskers, and so it came to pass when the engines arrived there was no one to tell them that Irving place was being gutted; but, like a patent stove, it was consuming its own smoke and zave no sign outside. Then it was that Mr. De Koven, casting dignity to the winds, and recalling memories of athletic days in Ox- ford, chased the ‘‘machine” and brought it back. Damages, a rough estimate, $1,000. Mr. De Koven, when I saw him, was covered with scores and soot. He had, he said, local color for a new opera to fe called “L'Enfer; or, Who Stole the Hose Pipe?” Mr. Thomas J. Kelly will afternoon organ recital promptly at 3:30 p. m. The program will be as follows: his fifth beginning give today, Gothie March.. Melody in G.... Paust Fantasie,,.” A Song. ...

Mendelssohn Prof. Lee G. Kratz has in process of publi- cation a solo adapted for bass. The words of “Warrior Bold” are used and it promises to make a solo of unusual excellence. The music is dedicated to Mr. Will Morrison, the young man who uses his talents so ably in the “T. K.” quartet. By the way, the quar- tet's reception at Y. M. C. A. hall New Year's was most flattering. The fame of De Koven and Smith's oper “Rob Roy,” has reached “‘Bonnie Scotland. Mr. Willlam Pruette, who plays the title role, received a few days ago a letter from a lady in Greenock, enclosing a Scotch melody of her own composition, which she requested Mr. Pruette to introduce in the opera. As the music was very, very bad, it will not see the light in New York Josef Hofmann, Rubenstein’s last pupll, gave a concert in London just a few hours before his master died. Some days later he gave a memorial recital at Chiltenham, One of his numbers was Chopin's B minor sonata. When he reached the Funeral March the entire audience rose as by a common im- pulse and remained standing till the move- ment_came to the end, A Bach-Handel recital will be given under the auspices of the ladies'’ musical depart- ment of the First Congregational church, Jan- uary 21, This affair will without doubt be the greatest local musical event of the sea- son, both on account of the large number of muticlans contributing to the program and the fact that each und every one is an artist, Owing to the illness of Mrs, Cotton and consequent_absence from the cathedral choir, Miss le Coon will be the soprano until Mrs. Cotton’s recovery.

You get through all other books, but you never get through the bible. I have preached twenty-five volumes ot sermons upon this book, and now that I have written the very last word, what s my fecling 21 ought to have some feeling about it. Why, this, that I have not begun it yet. No other book could offer such infinite vari- ety of material as is offered by the bible,” id Dr. Joseph Parker, the noted divine. Now, when a man is instructed in the Kingdom of heaven, when a preacher or a man of great social position has a revelation communicated to him, it is with the divine intention that it should be passed on to the next man. 1 must not say God has given me this and 1 am going to keep it wholly to I cannot. 1In all God's revelations I hear the great command: ‘Go ye into all the world and the gospel to every creature.’ meant for the next man, the next parish, until all the world has heard the music that was lavished on me. “Now, the only man who can expound his own book is the Savior. He only knows what is in Moses and the Prophets and Psalms con- cerning Himself, He expounded to them Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms, right up to His own self. “Now, I want Him to talk with me in that way. H's ascension is His nearness to me; He is now no more on earth; He is only in heaven. This is a curious relation, but there is nothing paradoxical in 1t. He went up that He might come down. What 1 want, therefore, is to have my own bible, my own personal bible, as it were, and to sit a long time alone and say to Jesus, ‘Now what does this mean? and He will tell me. We can have times together, great merriments and Jollities, and the sound of trumpets and thawmas, “Theh the bible becomes a new book; He expounds it to me when we are alone; no noise of the market place, no roar of the bitter north wind, but a great calm and un- speakable peace, of The I ds of the Sea. The Islands of the Sea, called also Oceanica, Polynesia and Micronesia, are in the Pacific ocean, southeast of Asia. and northeast of Australia. New Zealand, Australia and Van Diemen's Land are now missionary centers, and are sending out consecrated men and women to evangelize their still benighted neighbors, In Polynesia are 26 English missionarie: 361 native pastors, 265 teachers and evange lists, 14,267 church members and 523 schools, with 13,593 pupil In the South seas the gospel work has been done mostly by the native Christia S, as many of the missionaries have been Killed by fevers, epidemics and the savages John Williams of the London fonary society began work on the Samoan islands fifty years ago. The population of the Samoan islands s about 30,000, of whom 714 are church mem- bers and 15,734 are adherents to Christianity. Trade in sandal wood began in the New Hebrides in 1828, After the traders followed John Williams, who was killed in 1866, Rev. H. A. Robertson, a missionary of the Presbyterian_church in Canada, writing from Eromanga, New Hebrides, says: “We dis- pensed the Lord's: Supper in July last at Dillon’s bay to 100 people, and the eldest son of the murderer of John Willlams was baptized in ihe! presenes’ of 700 people, and took his place at the communion table.”” Rev. John G. Paton, the pioneer worker in cannibal lands, was born in Seotland In 1824, and, accompanied by his young wife, arrived, in 1858, at New Hebrides. Upon the fsland of Tanna he buried his wife and little son four months after landing. The purpose of the recent visit of Dr. Paton to America was to urge the United States government to unite with Great Britain in prohibiting the trade of firearms, ammuni- tion, intoxicating liquors and opium in the New Hebrides and western Pacific islands. The Sandwich or Hawailan islands, di covered by Captain Cook in 1778, received the first missionaries in 1820, and in one generation there are more than 58,000 Chris- tians, Missionaries went out from the Sandwich islands to the Carolina, Marshall and Gilbert islands in 1852, and 15,000 of the 100,000 in- habitants have been converted, March 31, 1819, was the day of the ful- filment of Acts 1,8, when Christ's witnesses aboard the Thadeus sighted the Hawalian snow-capped peak of Mauna Loa. At a recent meeting in Aneityum the mis- sion synod determined to establish a college in the New Hebrides for the education of native teachers and pastors. The Week of Prayer. Today will be observed throughout the Protestant world by all the evangelical chutches, with the exception of the Protestant Episcopal church, as the first day of what is known as a week of prayer. In addition to the special service on Sunday, services will be held every evening during the weelk. This week of prayer originated in Tndia about fifty years ago. The foreign mission- arles there at one of their meetings requested Christians in all parts of the world to spend the first week in each year in prayer for the conversion of the world to Christianity. The suggestion was received with great favor, and In a remarkably short time a great part of the Protestant” churches everywhere began celebrating the week by holding services every evening, At first the week was entirely devoted to prayer for forelgn missions, but soon the scope of it was cnlarged so that it became a regular annual week of meetings in difterent churches for the purpose of praying for revivals, and it soon cam¢ to be the case that this week of prayer was followed by re- vivals in the chure Now the general ex- pectation s that after the week of prayer there will be revivals of religion and conver- sions in all the churches in which it is cel brated. The denominations which will take part in the observance of this special week of prayer are the Methodist Episcopal, the Pres- byterian, the Congregational, the Lutheran, the Baptist and Christian churches, and prob. ably in Omaha it will'be observed in all the churches of those and dsindred denominations, During the weels of prayer the days will be observed as followst Monday, “Humilia- tion and Prayer;” Tuesday. ‘‘The Church Universal;" Wednesdayj “‘Nations and Thelr Rulers;" Thursday, *Forelgn Missions;” Fri- day, “Home Missions;!* Saturday, “Families and Schools, Help Wik Sent. Tho thirtcen new @nd returning mission- arles, who sailed ffom New York on October 14, reached Alexandrix, Egypt, on November 9, haviog safely made the trip in a little less than & month. Those who were going on to India left Cairo, Egypf, on November 21, and were at Ismailla awaiting a steamer for Bom- bay on the 22d. If the remaining part of thelr trip proved tocber as pleasant and ex- peditious as the first;part of it, they are ere this date at the en@ uf their long journey by sea and land. The missionaries in Egypt were much cheered by the addition to thelr working force. Those in India have no doubt been made glad for the same reason. Al- though both missions are thus strengthened, still the call is loud for more help. This help will be sent as *0on as the missionaries can be obtained, and the means furnished to take them to their ficlds and sustain them, 1n Local Pulpits.

They have grown to be as much a necessary part of the furniture of a moders house as a plano or a leather easy chalr, There are over fifty different styles, all coples of genuine colonial originals, but for the threc essentials of comfort, beauty of outline, and historie suggestiveness there i no pattern so popular as this, It embodies the high back with the gale lery back above, the “dug’ or recessed seat, the broad arm rests, the tapering cros braces, the nearly every well known feature of the 18th century construction, Wo take special pains with the marquetry, of our colonfal frames, and at the low pric at which we are selling these chairs there is nothing that can compare with them at the price in this country, Charles Shiverick & Co.
