Verdi the great operatic composer, has been prostraUd by the recent death ot his wife, and It Is doubtful If ho will re cover. !i II II Mawngnl, composer of 'Cavalllera Rus llcana," Is at work on auotner opeta, which is to 1k called "Iris." It Is upon a Japanese subject. Slnco bringing out tho opi ra which made him famous In a day, JIascagna has produced nothing of great importance. If the muse which Inspired "Cavalllera Hustlcana" can be evoked In tho present instance, tliele Is no o.ues tion that a gem of model n composition will soon be heard II I Nicholson people now lejoloe because tho town Is the home of a prlre chorus, a band of singers from that village hav ng won a prize for chorus singing at the recent meeting of the JIuslcal Alliance at Factoryvllle. A pilze chorus Is a thing to 1)0 proud of In ono sense of the word, but the experience of Scranton shows that to win a prize Is about the worst thing that can happen to a lot of musicians. Befoie the world's fair, tho "Electric City" was noted as the head quarters for gigantic musical enterprises la which mignlflcleut chorus work was a prominent feature. Since winning the $',, 000 prize, however, there has apparently been no conceited action on part of tho mass of vocalists of Scranton to keep up the lnteiest In chorus singing. Occasion ally a small parly wU rehearso for a few nights nnd visit some neighboring town nnd enter Into n competition, but since the triumph nt Chicago the lntei est In Scranton that was taken In vocal music In fotmer, times has been smoth ered.

In, I hato to see good people rant and rail Of things on which no ono should feel too "sai tin," So this dispute 'twlxt Jonah and the whale It's hard to see how one can take much heait In, And get his feelings all torn up and net tled About u thing that never can be settled. I have friend as old r.s ho can be, His legs aio wabbly and his head Is hoar, Who In a thousand ways has shown to mo A faith implicit In tho Jonah story: His old vvlfo with him scaicely can agree, She says It Is an ancient allegory. And he, In peace, permits his wlfo to doubt It. Though yeais ago they quarrelled somo about It. The Blho Is a. bock that I adore for precepts found within Its pages; Of to when 1'm'sad I turn Its pages o'er And read the reVord ot departed sages; But matters In dispute, alas, no moro Jly wayworn und distracted mind en gages. Like "Jonah and the whalo and Noah's land Lug And things that tax my feeble under standing. ,. I read instead what I can undei stand, Tho story, 'of a Fathers love, undjlng, The promise of.another, better land Beyond thU valo"of pain and want and Alghlng, A mansion in a city great and grand, Tho glory of man's highest art outvy ing. Whero wickedness can come 'to torture nev er, And vveaiy souls can rest In peace for ever. And while I don't bank much on any creed And doctrines taught by schools eccles iastic, I gather confort from the things I lead, It makes my heart more mellow-like and plastic. I cannot follow whero some teachers lead, Nor take their theologlc potions drastic; And this Is all my creed, uwako or sleep ing, Tho Lord Is good, and I am In Ills keep ing. t-iXelroska.

Dr. Ciafts, the superin tendent of the Heform buieau, Wnsh ington, D. C, will addiess the meeting. A I, The Thanksgiving number of the Christian Advocate is one of the best ever published nnd contains most In. terestlng matter. One of Buckley's radical editorials contains the follow ing: SHOULD FOOT BALL BE "OUT LAWED?" "Eenths, distortions, dislocations, disllguratlons, fractures, nnd sprains are some of Its fruits. Crush, ing, stamping, kicking, nnd many oth er fotms of biutallty attend It; but all athletic games In which mnny take part nnd competition is sharp, nro liable to similar evils. What a record ot Injuiy nnd death Is charged up to blcyllng Football Is a very old game; as pluyed by the students of tluee or more decades since, theie were plenty of minor huits, but few serious acci dents. That veiy young, untrained, overgrown, or feeble men, or thoe un accustomed to geneial cxeiclse, or liable to any constitutional weakness of disease, especially of lungs or heart, should play the game only with child ren, If at all. Is obvious. That the stiong and well should bo forbidden by civil law to do so, Is not necessary. Every college or university should have a medical or competent physical director, nnd non should bo allowed to play football In match games with out a permit from htm. Intercollegiate games should not bo allowed where the method of play Is recklessly bru tal. Pieparatoiy schools should be mote carefully supervised than many of them aio. Those playeis who kill or malm should be held accountable for man slaughter, assault, or civil damages; but that It should be made a misde meanor to play football seems to In dicate a tendency, not only to peterna llsm, but to giand-pnternalism, In government."

O, havo you seen It lying nnywhete about? I only Just now found It out. I've lost It since you came, I know. You've btolen It! Your eyes say so!" I said: "Now don't be cross, my dear. Though 1'vo your heart, yet never fear, For, since I havo no need of two, I'll glvo you mine. Will not that do?" A smile shone In her tearful eyes, A rainbow over stormy skies. Sho answered: "Since I must confess" Tho rest I cannot tell you. Guess! Ernest Weal Lycy, In the Sun. EDITOR J. Publisher Gazette Restored to Health by Paine's Celery Compound. The Haverhill Gazette, now In the front mint of nevvspapeis, stands for the journalistic ability of one man. John B. Wtlght Impressed his strong personality on the paper fiom the day that he secured control. Ills accurate sens;; of news and steady judgment of men and events has built up the Havcihlll Gazette to Its present newspaper leadership of north ern Massachusetts Editor AVrlght's long and brilliant work on the Boston Heiald, as chief of department of "special vvrlteri," has all been utilized In the building up of this successful newspaper. It will surprise no one th'at getting out a big news paper, like the Gazette, morning after morning, and vear after year. In the heat nnd smoke of fierce political con flicts, should entail great mental and physical stialn. Incessant vvoik told on Editor Wright; but because he made use nt orce of Paine's celery compound, he Is todny fully restored to his old time forceful, vigorous habit of mind nndi 'body. He sa)s of this grt-at lemedj Haverhill, Mass., Oct. S, 'S7. Gentlemen: It Is with great pleas ui e that I bear testlmon) to the bene ficial results which almost Invariably follow the use of th'at king of nil rem edies Paine's celery compound. As a tonic, free from deleterious matciials, it has, to my way of thinking, no equal. This remedy Is positive Jmon to all nerve-vvtetked men of business. I un hesitatingly commend it to all persons who aie, as I was, thoroughly worn out. Veiy tiuly yours, JOHN B. WRIGHT. OLD-TIME COURTESY. Of tho Sort Which Was round in Ore gon When She Was Young and Un fettered. From the Pendleton East Oregonlan. There wasn't any pai titular excite ment over the hanging qf the man pointed out and ai tested at Big Bend as the chap who stole a pack mule from Col. White's camp, over on Fish river. One of White's men, who was over af ter bacon , happened to meet the stranger, nnd he went to Redfern, piesldent of tho vigilance committee, nnd said. "Jim, Is It a good day for a hanging?" "Wall, toleiablv fn'i," leplled Jim. "The kuss w ho stole our pack mewl Is dovv n In the tin front saloon." "I see. And jou want him hung?" "I don't kcer no great shakes about It myself, but I reckon the Kurnel would be pleased." "I'm willing to obleege Col. White, as he's n good friend of mine: but do you think the critter down thur has any objecshuns to bein' hung?" "Ho don't look like a man who'd kick about It. 'Pears moie like a critter who'd be glad to bo off the ulrth." "Wall, we'll take chances on him," said Jim, and ho went to his shanty and got a rope und asked eight or ten of the boys to go along. When the crowd reached tho tin front saloon, the stranger was Just coming out. "Say, we want )ou," said Redfern. "What fur?" "Goln to hang )o.u." "Cause why?" "Fur stealln' Kuincl Whites' pack mewl." "Wall, fire away." He was escorted to a tree whereon a dozen moi e men had been duly hanged, and, lifted up on an empty whisky bar tel, the noose was soon placed over his neck. "Want to say anything?" asked Jim as all was ready. "Nothln' 'tall." "Then let 'er go." An hour later, White's man, who had staited for home, returned to hunt up Mr. Redfem and say. "Look-a-yere' Jim, that feller didn't stenl our mow I," "No?" "No. They cot tho feller and the vmevvl out at Clay City, nnd hung him this moinln'. I thought this was tho feller, but I must hev bin mistook." "I'see. Wall, he's bin hung and hur led, and we can't help him nnv now. We'll Jest let tho next one off, to even up things. My compliments to tho Kur nel, and tell h!m I shall nlwa)a stand ready to obleege him." IMITATION OYSTKRS. Artificial Blvnlves Being Produced in Paris Hesturnnts. "The most singular thing I saw while In Paris," said a gentleman who has Just returned from Europe, to a Wash Ington Star reporter, "was artlflclnl oyers. I don't mean what aro called mock oysters that Is, meat done up In a patty or a. potple but the real bivalve Intended to servo raw. And as far as looks goes, you would say nt a glance that they were genuine Amer ican oyStets, but when you come to eat one tho difference would bo per ceptible at once. How they nro made and what materials aro used In their manufacture is a mystery which I did B. WRIGHT. Paine s celery compo'ind creates a wlio'esonie demand for food, and cutes a disordered stomach and costive bov. -els. For nil aliments and weakno?sostlmt have grown out of defects ot nutilllon, uch as nervousness, loss of stiength, thin and pale blood, loss f weight and lowiiess of spirits, Paine's celer) coin pound Is the lesltlmitc and loglenl cure. It oven nines loss ot nervous power and lessene I power to digest food, by generouslv fcdlng the nerves and icgulatlng their action. It banish es that continual tiled foelim.' by cleansing the blood of clogging Iniput Ities, and by stlirlng the kidneys nnd other purifying organs to hcullhlul activity. Paine's celeiy compound has uiml many and manv cases of d)si)epsia. sleeplessness, disci dered liver .iiid stomach tiouble that had puz7led phs Iclans, nnd the outcome of vvhkh scein eel hopeless. Many obstinately dy-peptlc peisons have gotten rid of eveiy dlstiesslng symptom by lis Invignratl.ig help. Grave general defects of nutrition that have shown themselves In a wasted condition, weakness nnd loss. o1 strength have lepea'edly )lelded to this remai liable remedy. The We in fac", that attests loss of sleep, soon loses Us haggard appear ance as the nervous system gets nour ished by Falnvs celeiy compound; tha ai cumulation of aches and pains van ish ,the blood glows luddy and abuu 1 ant, and the mind shuies In the well being f dt all over the body. Paine s celeiy compound sh'rjld be taken by eveiy pet son "run down" or nervous not solve, but It Is certain that a great deal of money Is made by the piodin ers. The usual prlie paid lor thee artificial ojsters Is thieo cents each, or thirty cents a dozen, and sometimes. In the .second-class testnuiunts, they are to be hnd for two cents each, though they aie not apt to be veiy fiesh at that price. You older a plate on the half shell, and when the waiter brings them to jnu they look ns nli e ns the real oyster that you got In tho best New Yoik ojster house. If you aie not a good judge of oysteis nu will eat them with your wine and g uwny without asking any eiuestlons. ' The only teally genuine thing about them l.s the shells. The maiiufactur eis, i vus told, buy second-hand shells from the lestauiant keepeis at a small expense, and with a hnimless and tasteless paste fasten the spurious oyster in Its place. Only one-half of tho shell Is used for the put pose, and In that shape the fraud ovsteis aie packed In tiers In boxes and baskets, which nie displayed In windows, on counters, or on shelves. Otheis to In served without the shells mo put up In cans, or In glass jars containing from 2.1 to 100, The 'imitations' ni consumed In such quuntltles that the dealers In real oysters are tiiglng th testaurant anil liotclkeepers to bieak up their shells ns fast as their con tents nie eaten, and even pay tho cooks and waiters lihetnlly to pound them to pieces, so that the ninkers of the artificial nitlclo will have a limited supply of shells."
