At the Methodist church the finest music that has ever been heard In that parted edifice was enjoyed by crowded congregations at the servlcet of yes terday morning and evening. The choir, under the direction of W. T). I'vnn, responded as never before. Kvcry member of the choir seemed filed with the spirit of the occasion, wh'eh was re-echoed In the fine blend Ir.g of the voices. The cresoendos and mitiurndoi were truly observed and the climaxes were pimply thrilling. The organ work of John Kvans, pupil of the New Ilngland Conservatory of Music, L'osion, was splendid and there was nilmaMble harmony between him and the fingers. There was that dash and spirit and finish that brought all ot the uttepgth and beauty of the nnmheis so happily thosen by Mr. Hvans In his pieinratlon of the programme. Prob ably the finest number ot the morning was Shelly'. "King of Unve," Tho folo, duets and trios were magnificent ly tendered. In the evening there was also mani fested that same fine spirit and among the large rongtegatlon weie heatd numerous expressions of the warmest rnmmendatlon. Tho pastor. Key. A. K.

Dunham At Berean Baptist Church. The congregation that assembled nt the Ileiean Ilaptlst church filled the spacious auditorium, and among thine assembled were many faces that wcte fnmillar theie In other days, nnti al iuot eveiv family of the church had friends with them who hae come to thf city for the celebtntlou. In addition to the special nature of the servlie, It was the opening of the chuich after the vacation period. Rev. Jir Whalen h-ulng only Just re turned w-lth his family from their out ing nt Ragles Mete, and It was also the flist service In which Mr V A. Roberts, of Fcrnntnn. the newly elect ed organist and director, appeared with the choir. All these facts went to make the day a most significant one to the Baptist people. The service opened with an organ selection, being Wagner's Pastorale, which was finely executed by Mr Rob eits, then followed the Invocation by the pastor, with a response by the choir. The responsive reading was upon "FMvlne Remembrance," at the close of which the rongtegatlon sang P.ishop Heber's Immortal song, "Holy, Holy, Holy." "Our Church In City's History." Then followed a well prepared piper. "Our Church In the city's History." which was a hsief resume of the his tory of Baptist Interests ftnm lSW.with special reference to the history of the r.t-rean Baptist church, which is co temporary wirh the history of the city, having been organized only three years hefoie the city was Incorporated. The paper was prepared by Deacon P. S, Joslln, the church clerk, who Is now in his eighty-fifth year, and was read by Ptof. A. Wilson Geary, tho assistant clerk. The choir sang "As Panteth the Hart," an anthem by Davis, n.nd the prayer was offered by Rev. William B. Orow, who has been a resident of tho city for more than thirty-six years, and who Is nenrlng his eighty-fifth bltthdny. The offertory was a bass solo by Mr. Roberts, "There's n Beau tiful Land on High." by Taylor. Dr. Whalen's Talk. The pastor's address was based upon the words recorded In Acts, xl.39, "I am a citizen of no mean city." By way of Introduction Dr Whalen brief ly poitraved the scene In Jerusalem when the prince of the npostles was the lctlm of mob violence, and being rescued by Clnudlas Lyslas, he de clared to that official among other things, "I am of Tarsus n citizen of no mean city." The speaker said that this was no Idle boast of the apostle, for Ttrsus was Indeed an honorable rlty, rivalling In the arts and sciences Alexandria and Athens, and In.matters of government the Imperial city Itself, f-'uch was his ritv that tho mention of Its fnlr niini" secured to him n hearing, and rnarle him the master of tho mob which a little while befoie had sought to take his life. "Ilnppy the man with such a clt"! Then he said; "III the spliitual experiences of the npostlo we have always had a deep Interest and it feeling that we hud n patt in them. Today It Is our pilvllege to share his leeiings ns n citizen, and in tho lan guage of the apostle all of u. who truly appreciate our city can hay. "I am a citizen of no mean rlty." Had Tarsus features which made it distin guished, mi has ouis. We Aro the Anthracite City. No city in tho valley or in our com monwealth Is so closely Identified with tho great anthraclto interests. It Is our privilege to set up here during these, semi-centennial days tnblet that shall mark tho opening of tho first underground coal mlno in Amer ica, The Most Flourishing Industries. By their products we are known all o.er the land, and In foreign mntkets. Mt,ro than this, these manufactories ate veritable Industrial universities, where the useful arts are taught and skilled workmen made. A Commercial Centre. Our railroads give us great advantage In the world of commerce, nnd made us mote than the ordinary competitors of other cities. Our Public Schools. These have equalised conditions be tween the rich nnd the poor. The son of the man of wealth of fifty years ago find the son of tho laborer of the same period now share the honors of pub lic and professional life, and this through the opportunities possible to all in our free schools. These schools have conveited the daughters of toll Into vomon of culture and Intellectual worth. Our Churches. No town surpasses us In the condition of ltp churches The Catholicity that hen exists is in vivid contrast to the tin moll which we see existing among the churches of the other towns atound us. Our Homes. Finally, ns the outgrowth of the con ditions already mentioned, we are a city of homes. By reason of our suc cessful Industries an unusually largo number of our people own their homes. Prom the school and the church has emanated influences which have given oui homes a high moral and religious character, and they have produced that type of life which Is common to our citizens. At the close of the address Rev. Charles Lee's seml-rentennlnt hymn was sung, and a season of greeting was enjoyed by nil. Music at Trinity.

The Tribune representative, In con eisat!on with John Borthwick, sovei clgti deputy of the Woodman of the Woild, gleaned some facts of such Im portance to a large body of men that the reading of some will be very Inter e,tlng, paxtlculaily so since Mr. Borth wick is always very conservative In his statements. "The magnitude of tho fraternal beneficiary system and tho grand and noble work being performed by that kind of Insurance organizations," said he, "are almost beyond human com prehension. On Januaiy 1 there weie 127 fraternal Insurance ordeis icpnrt Ing to the state Insuuinro department of New York; their combined member ship was about thiee nnd one-half millions of people, furnishing insurance to the fabulous amount of n,3Mi millions ot dollars. Fraternal otdcrs nto pajing out benefits at the late of one million dollats a week to widows and oiplians, th.in proving a great blessing to tho ept-re community. "This form of Insurance is still In its iniftn' y. yet over flvo hundred millions tf dollars have nlieady been paid by the dlffeient oideis. How, many pro. pin that vast amount of money bus tUrret ly benefited is beyond rompir liriitlor.. Tho part being played in this F,innd ro.npeiatlve movement by tho Woodmen of tho Woild is by no means insignificant. Although only eleven ,eais old, they aro now tho fourth or der o' this kind in numerical strength. They aro gaining new members at the LLh H(aH7 Jwtf WW .ly iRti .r v3Bw Im mmfaWt rnic of six or seven thousand per month, and have already paid death rcieilts amounting lo eight and one half millions of dollars, besides paj Ing for the erection of over four thou sand monuments. The camp being foimed In this city has now sixty-four Hgiiatuics to the charter list, nnd its f-iowth from now on, it Is confidently expected, will be much more rapid. "Ttuly fraternal Insurance is doing a grand anil noble work, nnd gaining In popularity nnd usefulness dally. They" are mostly inn on the lcserve fund principle now ami iiffoul s-afc and rea- sunauiy cneap pioteetlon." OBITUARY. LOUIS DHCKHIt, of Manchester. X.
