SERVICES OF TIIE SABBATII. Bishop W. F. Ilood Occnpies the Tulpit of the Zion A. M. E. Church. Rev. M. W. Darling on the Ministry of Mnsic —Dr. Marine’s Farewell Services—Rev. J. A. Rondt haler at the Tabernacle. A CHOICE NECESSARY. ISi.hop Ilood Dwells on the Necessity of Declaring Allegiance to the Master. Last night Bishop W. F. Hood, of the Fifth Episcopal district, Charlottesville, N. C., spoke at the Zion A. M. E. Church to a crowded house, his text being from Joshua, xxiv, 15: ‘‘Choose ye this day whom yo will serve.’’ The speaker said that Joshua, who uttered the foregoing, was called at first the servant of Moses, whom ho attended for the period of forty years, including the time when the Israelites were delivered from their bondage in Egypt. Joshua was one of twelve others who wero sent to spy out the land of Canaan, ten of whom returned with discouraging reports of tho promised land. They wer e like those men who would like to go to heaven •without experiencing any difficulty in getting there. Joshua attended Moses when he ascended the mountain, standing at the foot for forty days, while the rest of the Israelites were in the meantime in search of tho golden calf. At the death of Moses it pleased God to call Joshua to lead the Israelites, because he had proved faithful and demonstrated his capacity as a captain. For twenty-four years he supplied the place of Moses, conducting the Israelites into the promised land, gaining victory after victory over his enemies, and securing peaceful possessions in Canaan. He had run the race well and won. When Joshua came to die. he called around him the elders, telling them what God had done for them, and explaining to them that they were under obligations to the Master for leading them out of slavery into the good and glorious land of freedom. He urged them to love the Lord and serve Him, and cried out, finally, “Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua wanted the Israelites to put themselves on record as being on the side of the Master, and he declared that they owed this much to God, who had showered special blessings on the Israelites. and kept them out of harm's way during their Ion; wanderings. From Egypt, under the iron hand of Pharaoh, the Israelites were brought by Moses, that they might worship God. The condition of theit deliverence was that they should love God and serve Him. These things Joshua told the elders, and prayed that they might continue to do their duty to God after he was taken away. It is a momentous time in the life of a man when he takes a religious stand. There are reasons too evident to name why every one should choose tho one he shall serve. If there were reasons why the Israelites should serve the Lord, so there are more abundant evidences why wo should show Him reverence. Israel’s blessings were temporal, but we may make ours permanent. We are surrounded by everything that is good and beautiful. God has doubly blessed this country, and placed innumerable comforts and luxuries within our reach. He has done more for us than for tho people in the past This is a good time to make up our minds. “Choose ye this dav whom ye will serve.” To enter into Christian service, the Master requires that we must cease to work for evil. In order to serve God. man must abandon the devil. He must abandon the service of self, also, for wo all trust to self indulgence, self-will, selflove and self-abasement. Jesus said that if any one would come to him he must first deny himself. Religion is in opposition to sin. The hostility to evil must be evinced every day. not on the sick bed or tho dying couch, for then it is easy to be dutiful to God, but the Christian ar mor must be borne in active life, where there is a chance to battle with sin and vanquish the evil, and then wh in the summons comes to leave this world, the armor can be laid aside, while the spirit takes its upward flight to the eternal bliss of heaven. The religious vow must be made openly and publicly. The declaration in favor of God is a manly one, and he who shrinks from making it through timidity or feai of public ridicule, is either a hopelessly demented coward or an abandoned profligate. The religious man must enter the church, for it restrains and protects him when he is in danger. No man can serve God outside of the church. To worship creed or sect is to abuse the church. God does not sanction this kind of worship. The church must be simply the convenient medium through which God is to be glorified, revered and obeyed. God does not want, either, the service of constraint. Religion must he free. Man is a rational being and a free moral agent; a responsible ereature who must tender his services to God of his own free will. The service of God is pleasint to those who are in earliest, and profitable to those who are faithful. The Christian only can exclaim, “Oh, death, where is this sting? Oh grave, where is this victory?” THE MINISTRY OF MUSIC. Discourse by Rev. M. VV. Darling 1 , of Elkhart, at Plymouth Church. At Plymouth Church. Rev. M. W. Darling, of Elkhart, spoke, yesterday morning, on “The Ministry of Music.” The text, from I Samuel, chapter xvi, verse 23, was as follows: “And it came to pass when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.” The speaker said that this instance is a good illustration of the power of music over the soul. It was but a touch of that divine minstrelsy that is fabled to have perturbed spirits since man came into existence. William Congreve wrote: “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak;” And literature is full of legends telling how music hath done more than the powers of earth and air. Apollo charmed the fabled gods of Olympus; Orpheus awakened the trees of tho fortst with bis melodious notes, till they came forth dancing to the rhythm of his lute after the fashion of men; Arion so entranced the dolphins of the sea with his heaven-born music that they carried him on their backs to his home and friends; fjlysses, in his wanderings, was compelled to flu his companions’ ears with wax. that they might not hear the enticing notes of the sweet-singing but. dangerous sirons; Circe, in her palace, waved her golden staff while she hummed the melodious notes that bathed the souls of men in earth-forgetting bliss; Handel elevates the thoughts and aspirations of men in his oratorio of the “Messiah” till the vast audience, rising from their seats, are ready to echo the words, “The glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed; who shall abide the day of His coming?” The soldiers of Cromwell reverently uncovered their heads, sang a Psalm, and went forth to victory. The soldiers of Italy battle for freedom under the inspiration of Garibaldi's hymns, and Napoleon always relies upon the national air to g.ve (fee last touch of enthusiasm before assailing the enemy. Jenny Lind sings a million dollars from the pockets of English and American audiences, and draws twice that number of tears from their eyes. Florence Nightingale holds tho hand of a dying soldier on the Bosphorus, while the words from her mouth are the balm and healing oil to homesick and famished touts. Bhakspeare tells in “Midsummer Night's how the stars shot madly from their source to hear the sea maid’s song. Music hath the power to soothe, to awaken emotions of joy and peace in tho soul, to stir to action, to inspire to worship, to warm the heart, quicken the pulse, start the tear and thrill the whole being. We may never be able to tell the difference between tweedledee and twedledum, but, nevertheless, we own the power of melodious sounds to stir the heart to newness of life. We wnv not voice our music, but we agree w.th Shakspeure, that tho man that hath not music in himself is fit only for statagems and spoils. Music is a heaven born angel, whose ministry is to lead onward and upward to heaven boro things. Next K> love it would rank highest in the calendar of

saints for all souls —next to love, for mnsic is but the servant of love, and the love of God is the sweetest music that the soul knows. The fountain of music is about us and within us. It is the rhythmic barmouy of the soul in contact with nature. Had we ears to hear, the heavens might he a a great bell, the world rhythmic with divine harmonies, and the truth real, which the ancients believed, when they sang of the music of the spheres. Speaking of the nightingale, good old Isaac Walton exclaims, as he hears in its song a promise of something better in the hereafter: “Lord, what music hast Thou provided for the saints in heaven, when Thou affordest bad men snch music on earthi” There is an intimate relation between music and faith. Music ministers to the realization of invisible things, helping to make real the glory and beauty of tho unseen. It is heaven's own’ hand maid, suggesting the possibilities of higher planes of existence for human souls. Music ministers to faith, givingus a more perrect conception that what we see and hear of this universe is not all. Faith has wedded music to the sanctuary of a devout and spiritual worship. A hundred 3’ears before Plato, Confucius wrote, “Wouldst then thou know if a people be well governed, if its manners be good or bad. examine the music it practices.” The Hebrews were early in striving to express by music the aspiration of the soul. They wedded, indeed their music to their religion. Music is also related directly to morals. It cannot be better defined than to say it is the language of emotion. Music leads the soul outward and upward, awakening higher and holier aspirations. Who has not felt himself stronger for pood, nearer related to his God, and drawn nearer to heaven, assisted by the strains of harmony? The secret of Jennie Lind's power was that she made music a matter ot conscience. It was the music of the soul which captured all hearts. This quality of music lifts the soul into a purer atmosphere. It is a sort of worship, it is gratitude. it is the grace and benediction of holy power. The soul in pure worship is the ccolian harp played upon by tho breezes of heaven. What is music? It is heaven’s richest blessing, the promise of higher, holier and happier realms beyond this life. It is the harmony with all that is true, beau titul and good. It is the glorious grandeur of the invisible, the unseen, the eternal. Music is the soul-beating, rhythmic cadences to the voice of God. It is the ministry of music to aid us in comprehending what the eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, but which God is revealing to the inner vision of the soul. Dr. Marine’s Last Service. Very large audiences assembled at Centralavenue Church both yesterday morning and night, to hear Rev. Dr. Marine preach the concluding sermons of bis pastorate with that chuich. The pulpit stand was properly adorned with beautiful flowers, and the services throughout were impressive, though in no sense of the nature of “a farewell.” The morning sermon was a strong presentation of what the church is and should be, the elements that enter into its work and power, and the necessity for its existence in the development of the best and strongest human and character. At the conclusion of the sermon the ordinance of baptism was administered to a number of young misses, members of the class who were received into the full membership of the church at night. At the night service a spirit of unusual tenderness pervaded throughout the large audience. It was the ingathering, to a degree, of the work of the revival enjoyed bv the church last winter, when so many of the children of the membership were happily converted. The ser mon was upon the “Resources of the Gospel,” and at its close, the large class of young people were taken into full connection, according to the simple but beautiful ritual of the church. The services were somewhat longer than usual, but many lingered to say a good-bye word to the popular and beloved pastor. Dr. Marine ldfcves the city on Thursday, but himself and family will not remove to Lafayette for a couple of weeks yet His appointment will not be made there until at the sitting of the Northwest Conference. The pulpit of Central avenue will be well supplied during the short interregnum occurring between the departure of Dr. Marine and the coming of the new pastor.after the meeting of the Southeast Conference. • The Tabernacle Church. Services at the Tabernacle Church, on Second street, were resumed yesterday, the pastor, the Rev. J. Albert Rondthaler, having returned from his six weeks’ vacation. He was greatly benefited by his season of rest, p.nd returns refreshed in mind and body. A congregation that tested the capacity of the building to its utmost welcomed him back to the pulpit, and last Dight the church was again well filled. The membership look for a continuance of the prosperity that marked Mr. Rondthaler’sfirst year’s work, and are pushing as rapidly as may be the construction of their new edifice on the corner of Meridian street. The difficulty experienced by striking the oid slough in the excavation has been overcome by the free use of concrete, and a substantial foundation is now about completed. The superstructure will, it is ex eeted. be inclosed by the time snow flies, and the v >. Jding finished ready for occupancy in the spring. It will be a decidedly handsome addition to the church architecture of the city and a house in which the congregation may take a just pride. A BROTHERS’ QUARREL. Trouble of Long Standing Leads One to Assault the Other with a Hatchet. About 7 o’clock last night an ill-feeling between brothers, of five years’ existence, and which at frequent intervals has been attended by violent quarrels, culminated in a murderous attack by Philip Leuz on Martin Machold. The latter gave his name to the police as that of Richard Lenz, but said Philip, when arrested, and questioned by a Journal reporter, “That is not his right name. It is Martin Machold; we are only halfbrothers. I know of no Richard Lenz.” Accepting this as the true designation of the man assaulted, the story eoes that Martin went to Philip's house, No. 23 Shelby street, where the usual quarrel occurred, resulting in Philip striking him three times on the head with a hatchet. They were nglv wounds, cuttiug the scalp and forehead, but not dangerously. Martin was brought to the stationhouse, where Dr. Hodges attended to the wounds. He found one on the back part of the head, near the neck, another on the left side, and the third on the upper forehead, directly above the left eye. This last cut was about an inch and a half long, but in none of them was the 6kull broken. Martin ha i uo desire to talk about the affray, nor did the wife of Philip. He wanted the police to let the matter drop, showing a decided disinclination to prosecute the offender. To Superintendent Lang, reporters, and others, he said that it was the result of a brothers’ quarrel, but he would give no details. After the wounds were dressed, Fianner & tiommown’s ambulance, in which he was brought to the station, stood ready to take him to his rooms, No. 250 South East street. Martin preferred to walk home, but was persuaded to get into the ambulance, and with him went a Journal reporter, who induced him to talk. “Now, toll us all about tho quarrel?” as the vehicle drove off. “Oh, it was only a trouble of long standing.” “But, what led to it?” “I have been supporting his children for four or five years. His wife is a nice little woman, and the most unhappy creature I ever saw. For three days at a time she has been without food. My brother is a cur. When be works he can make money, but ho spends it ail in drink.” “The ill-feeling, then, has grown from year to year?” “Yes. I have supported his children, as he knows. Time and again I have told him that I did not want anything to do with him, that I had no brothers and sisters any more.” “But you weut there last night?” “Yes. 1 had not been in the room a minute before he came in and assaulted me with a

hatchet. I was sitting in the rocking-chair, hut I don’t want talk about the affair. I don’t want those where I work to know of the difficulty. I intend to go to work to-morrow, but fear these bandages will lead them to make inquiries.” The ambulance by this tin;o had gone as far ns Virginia avenue below South street, when Martin said, “Teil the driver to stop. I can walk the rest of the way.” His request was granted, but about two minutes before this occurred the ambulance passed the patrol wagon, the latter on the way to the station-house with Philip Lenz. When Martin got onto the sidewalk he appeared reluctant to go homo immediately. For a minute or two he stopped, thought over the matter and then moved on. as a crowd of men and boys gathered about him, attracted by his bandaged head and the presence of tho ambulance. But to return to the assault. Philip was ready for the fourth blew with his hatchet when Martin’s cries of murder brought Mike Toomev and Tom Ryan into the house, who seized Philip and dragged him to the other side of the room. Releasing himself he ran through the kitchen into the rear yard and thence to the street He went down to Herman’s bakery, on East Washington street, where he works, and then started back home. Going as far as Watson’s drug store he stopped to talk with a few loungers about the affair, when the patrol wagon officers, with Superintendent Lang and Policeman Joyce, came up and arrested him. At the station-house the reporter asked Philip about the affray. He also was disinclined to enter into particulars, but when told what Martin had said about supporting his family he quickly answered: “That is a lio. Asjc my wife.” “But this trouble between you has been growing for years. What was the cause of it?” “He robbed me.” “In what way! 1 ' “Five years ago I left Terre Haute on account of him, but he followed me up.” “How did he rob you, and of what —money or property?” “I was financier of my A. O. U. W. lodge in Terre Haute, and lost my money.” “Did he take it?” ‘‘Somebody.did. It went from me. I have told him often to keep away from my house. Ho lias threatened to kill me, and I never wanted to have anything to do with him. He has a wife in the insane asylum in Milwaukee, or she is there if not dead. She became crazy years ago on account of his actions.” “But all that does not offer sufficient cause for the assault you made on him.” “I had good cause. My wife will tell you.” ‘‘ls she interested in it?” “Yes; but I don’t want to talk about it.” “Do you have only suspicion or fact to go upon?” “Fact: and that is all I will say concerning the trouble. I told him to keep away from the house, but I expected him there to night. Early in the evening" I went to the bakery, made up my sponge and told them that I would not be there any more that night. I went home, and, as I thought, found Martin there. I asked, 'What are you doing here? Get out.’ He made an insulting remark, at which I ran to the kitchen, got the hatchet ami attacked him. Hq has often threatened my life and always beeri the cause of trouble to me. After hitting him I came down street to the bakery, told that I expected to be arrested, and returned up Virginia avenue to Watson’s drug store ” “Your wife, then, figures in the case as the original difficulty?” “I will not say. You can ask her. But don’t make what you say too hard on me.” The house on Shelby street is well furnished, and has no evidence that its inmates suffer for the necessities of life, as Martin represented. It is a comfortable home of one who seemingly gets good wages. Martin, or Richard Lenz. as he wishes to be known, is employed at Clemens Vonnegut’s hardware store, on East Washington street. Ho is about firty years of age. while Philip is thirty-five, or a year or two younger. Both had been urinking, but not to an extent to muddle their wits. The following note came to Philip at the stationhouse, with a request from the bearer that he send at once an answer: Dear Pliil—l am so sorry, for your sake. Can Ido anything for you? How much will it take to get you out? Please don’t get me into trouble, for Alice’s sake. Let me hear from you by Charlie. I feel so unhappy about you. Yo UR Wife. G. A. R. MATTERS. A Number of Posts Declared Disbanded —The Most Successful Posts. By order of Gen. David N. Foster, department commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, several important changes have been made among the posts of the order in this State. Posts located at the following places have been dropped from the rolls and declared disbanded for failure to keep up their organization: Otwell, Remington, Harveyshurg, Carbon, Brownstown, San Jacinto, Cortland, Coatesville Vilpen, Lake, Linton, Alexandria, Hagerstown, Tampico, lioaun, Fontanet, Augusta, Montpelier, Winslow, Union, Morristown, S*ottsburg, Spurgeon, Ireland, La Fontaine, Hurou, Corydon, Losautville, Rono, DeMotte, Putnamville. In declaring these posts disbanded Comrriander Foster says: The department commander believes those defunct posts ought not longer to be permitted to sap the strength of our organization. Their numbers and names will continue to be borne unon the roster of the department, and at any time they may wish to reorganize they can do so, with the consent of the department commander. Any probability that this may ever he done ought not, however, to induce the membership of these disbanded posts to postpone the duty of immediately applying to department headquarters for transfer cards, that they may enter other posts and thus renew their connection with their former comrades. With the cutting off of the heretofore estimated and largely fictitious membership of these thirty one posts, the department of Indiana reaches “hard-pan” and, hereafter, its reported membership will be actual and not estimated. The posts making the largest net gains during the second quarter of the current year are hereby given. of Net gain Post. v> here Tjocated. Name of Commander. 2d qr. 209 Indianapolis John A. M.

Undertakers who have ambulances find that any call for them brings with it an interminable lot of questions all along the line the vehicle goes. 1 hey say it is a great annoyance to run repeatedly to the telephone to respond to questions they know nothing about and concerning which they have no means or knowing anything until the ambulauce returns. The other day one firm sent out its accident wagon, and within twenty minutes came a dozen calls to know who was hurt, killed or sick, together with all incidental particulars. Galvin F. Darnell received a telegram from Chicago last night stating that his wife was lying at the point of death there, and he left for that city last night.

TIIE SEASON’S AMUSEMENTS The Attractions the Grand Opera-House Will Offer Its Patrons. What Manager Dickson Thinks of the Outlook for the Season, and What tho Public Will Demand. There is promise in the opening of the theatrical season that the line of attractions for home places of amusement will be of tbe best variety. Local managers have, during vacation, been attentive in noting the merits of new plays and combinations. Influenced by generous rivalry, they have been liberal in their offers, thus securing not only the catching and popular sketches, dramas and plays of last season, but a number of fresh features, running anywhere from farce to the best representation of the strictly legiti mate. Managers of the day, like other business men, make their investments in the line ot popular demand, and sc far there is nothing to indicate a wavering from the class of brisk fun which for several seasons has had the lead of stage attractions. But there will be a judicious presentation of melodrama, society comedy and tragedy to offset the still large demand for comic opera, burlesque, spectacular pieces, minstreis and farce. * Manager George A. Dickson, of the Grand Opera house, is very hopeful of a profitable season. “You see,” said he, “the country has got down to hard-pan, and the reaction must come. There is every indication of a turn in the tide We have had good harvests, and manufactories and trade are showing signs of renewed life. When times are good people always go to the theater. Again, the presidential election is out of the way. A political campaign like that of last y< ar always works, against a theater. I don’t expect any boom, but amusements will take the course of a steady and legitimate revival of business.” “How is your list of attractions this year?” “Unusually good, with several novelties. Many of the old stars, who always meet with great favor here, I have secured. Some have not been in Indianapolis for years. In the East it is thought there is a tendency to popularize the strictly legitimate, but 1 observe still a demand for the lighter run of amusements. However, Mary Anderson, backed by her great European success, will draw crowds everywhere. In the same list of great certainty I can place Salvini, Lawrence Barrett, Tom Keene, Modjeska and Fanny Davenport. All the first-class stars like those I have mentioned, as wei) as Nat Goodwin, Robson and Crane, John T. Raymond, and others, will draw well. Robson and Crane revive “Comedy of Errors,” and others have new plays of fine promise. The old rates of admission will not keep people away from stars like these. If we buy silk we pay accord ing to quality, and so in amusements. If I advertise a dollar admission the play will he worth a dollar; if at ten cents, it will he worth only ten cents. McNish, Johnson & Slavin’s Refined Minstrels will open my season on Wednesday evening, and for the other evenings of the week the Wilbur Opera Company will give Gilbert. <fc Sullivan’s latest success, “The Mikado.” Then.in rapid succession, but not in the order named, will come the following: Hanlon Brothers, "Fantasma, ’aspectacular drama.

How a Kindness to a Dying Man Was Richly Repaid After Thirty Odd Years. T. C. ( ran ford, in Now York World. A intimate friend of John Roach said to me yesterday: “Now that John Roach is down I hope the newspapers will give him a chance. He is a kind hearted man who has worked up to his position from that of a poor lad. His misfortunes are so great as to command for him sympathy.” He then went on to say: “I can give you a very dramatic chapter from Roach’s life which will give you an idea of the loyalty and kindness of this old man’s character. He landed in this country from Ireland a poor boy of fifteen without family or relatives. He became a workman in one of the leading iron works in New York. At twenty-two ho had a wife and two children. At this time he was a slight slip of a fellow and did not weigh much over a hundred and twenty pounds. He became ill, and was con fined to his bed until all of bis moderate savings were gone. One night, when there was scarcely a penny in the house, tho physician came to see him, and after examining him, said: “John Roach, vou should know the truth. You must die. Your lungs are hopelessly affected. I tell you this so that if vou can make any provisions for your wife and children, you will yet have the time.” Roach was in despair. Ho saw absolutely no hope for him in the future. He did not fear death, but the thought of leavine his wife and children to a destitute, povertystricken life pierced him to the heart. He prayed all night that he might live. In the night a vision came to him. It seemed as if he were looking directly iuto heaven, and from that abode of happiness came a promise to him that he would live. The next day a fellow workman, who had worked alongside of him for a long period, came in to see hiro. This workman was going \\ est. He came to see John Roach, ha thought, for the last time. He bent over him and kissed him good-by before he went away. After his departure John Roach found that this loyal, working brother of his had tenderly left under his pillow his week’s wages in the very

envelope given him at the works. John Roach did not die. With the modest help of his friend he pot a start. Thirty-three years afterwards he was wr.lkiner down Broadway when he saw the hnek of a plainly dressed tnan whose figure seemed familiar to him. He was movedTby some spirit of desire to speak to this man. He stopSed him and said: “1 do not know your name, ut 1 ought to know you. What is it?” The man pave it. It was the name of the workman who had befriended him on his dying bed. Said Roach: “Do you know rnef’ “No.” “I am John Roach.” was his reply,- “the great shipbuilder.” “Yes, I have heard of you in the newspapers. It is very kind of you to stop to speak to a poor man like me. but you must excuse me; I have in hand a very pressing matter of business.” “Wait a moment,” said Mr. Roach. “Did you ever know another John Roach?” “Yes, but he died some thirty odd years ago.” “No, he didn't lam that same John Roach,” was the ship-builders reply. The man was very much astonished, but he attain made a move to press on, as he was sorely pressed for time. But Mr. Roach made him stop and tell what his business was. lie found that his old friend bad a small shop and house upon a piece of pround in Brooklyn. It was to he sold under the hammer to redeem a mortgage at 12 o'clock of that day. It was then 11. The man was hurrying to see the sheriff to ask him if ho could not put off the sale a little longer. Mi’. Roach said to him: “I know that sheriff well. You will lose no time stopping with me.” fie dragged him into a restaurant, where they had a hurried lunch. During the stay in this place Mr. Roach wrote out a chock for the full amount of the mortgage He then took his old friend in a carriage, and they reached the sheriffs office in time to redeem the property. The workman’s contribution to a dying man was thus repaid with interest. One of the sons of Mr. Roach afterward married the daughter of his old friend. Is there not in this story material for a romance? SHE’S A DAISY. The Latest Rival of the Jersey Lily—a Willowy Reauty. New York World New London (Conn.) Letter. Mrs. Helyar is without doubt a very beautiful woman. Her name among English beauties is often mentioned with that of Mrs. Lane try. Her dresses were among the richest displayed at New London this season. She has been a welcome guest, and has had free entry to the private cottages, and in tennis and swimming she had no equal. Her bathing costumes were the sensation. both for elegance and unique.simplicity. At 5 o’clock almost every afternoon Mrs. Helyar appeared upon the beach enshrouded in a bright silk overgown, which was removed by her maid as her mistress plunged into the surf. Upon all occasions Mrs. Helyar was surrounded hv a host of gentleman, each and al eager to come and go at her slightest beck or whim. Mrs. Helyar is a pronounced blonde. and is very stately and com mandingin appearance. She has the perfect English type of shoulders and bust, with a willowy outline waist around which a satin sash could be encircled not measuring over twenty inches in circumference. She is vivacious, a brilliant conversationalist, quick at reparteo and thoroughly clever. She once reigned as a leading beauty in Spain, her husband acting at that time as a member of the English legation at Madrid. She was greatly admired, also, at the Hague, and now comes to this country with her husband who is chief clerk of the British legation at Washington. Mrs. Helyar owns to the fashionable age this season, namely, thirty-five, although she does not look it. She married Mr. Helyar a few years ago at Somersetshire. They were own first cousins, and come from one of the oldest and % best-known families in that county. Her two beautiful children are a boy and a girl. Mr. Helyar is rather short and stout. The overwhelming attentions that Mrs. Helyar receives do not seem to provoke the slightest envy on the part of the other ladies. Furnitnre Factory Burned. Portland, Ore., Aug. 30.—Ira P.

A vast experience in the treatment of Rupture or Hernia, with a view to its radical cure, has enabled the specialists having charge of this important department of practice at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y., to perfect such an improved method of treatment as to result in the speedy and perfect cure of every case undertaken, so that trusses and all artificial supports can be entirely discarded. This* they accomplish with little or no pain, without the knife, without dependence upon trusses (which never cure), and without danger. Only a few days’ residence at the institution is necessary. Notwithstanding the great number of ruptures treated in the three years past, many of them of immense size and of such a character that no other plan of treatment could possibly havo succeeded, every caso to which this perfect system of treatment has been thoroughly applied, has been perfectly cured, and the pro prietors of the institution in which these unparalleled results have been attained therefore feel warranted in offering to guarantee a perfect and permanent cure in every case undertaken. The success attained by this comparatively new method, which has been perfected only after much study, observation and experience, is spoken of as absolutely uuparalleled, for no other specialists treating this common malady, so far as we know, can make any claim to curing every case, nor do we know of any one else willing to Itock up such claims by a positive guarantee of a cure in every case undertaken. There is, *then. no longer any need of wearing clumsy, awkward, chafing, old trusses, which, at best, give only partial relief, which never cure, but which often inflict great injury, and induce inflammation and strangulation, from which thousands annually die. There is no safety in depending upon any kind of truss, though, no doubt, every man who has suffered the agonies of strangulated hernia, and died, thought himself safe. Both the rupture and the truss keep up a mental strain, and induce nervous debility, and various organic weaknesses, and delicate diseases of the kidneys, bladder and associate organs. Abundant references, by permission of those whom we have cured, will be furnished any one wishing to call upon or write them.
