The Jleupath Concert. The Redpath Concert Co. appeared in Iron wood last Saturday evening, being the first number of the Star Course. The entertainment was held in the Episcopal Church, which was too small by a third to properly accommodate the The church was crowded and standing room was at a premium. The artists of the company.

Miss Buckley, Miss Clary, and Mr. Beresford, sang several quartettes from "Martha," "Hugenots," and other operas in splendid style. Probably the best number on the program was a concerto by Mendelssohn, rendered by Adolph Rosenbecker, upon the violin Each of the other artists sang solos and each received an encore. ss Clary has a line big voice which is associated with a similar physique. Miss Buckley's voice U-HS charming, especially in the lighter songs.

Mr Rieger lias a musical tenor voice ana he seems to know what he Slug to the best advantage. The singing of Mr. Rieger was the best ever heard by a tenor in this city. The company is good one, and undoubtedly the best that has ever appeared OH the range. The managers of the Star Course are to be congratulated upon the bringing of such a high-class organization to this city.

jl'he next number of the course will' occur on Dec 12th, when Dr. Hedley of Cleveland will deliver a lecture on "The Sunny Side of Life." Dr. Hedley is a public A CITY NIGHT.

THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS. What Can Plit TlironKh a Bruin In. One Minute. It is very certain that the majority of dreams are only of momentan- daration" though extended to the length of a minute. Iu proof of this Dr.

Sholz tells the following story from his experience- After excessive bodily fatigue aad a day of mental strain of a not disagreeable kind I betook myself to bed after I had wound my watch and placed it on the night table. Theu I lay down beside a burning lamp. Scon. I found myself on the high sea ou board a well known fihip I was again young and stood ou the lookout.

A London Ocnlist Asserts That Such To speak of a color blind artist sound" like joking, said a noted oculist; but strange as it seems, there are several so affected who can nevertheless paint extremely well.

Numbers of color blind people there are, of course, who draw perfectly in pencil, ink and crayons, but I myself know a Kceue painter attached to'a provincial theater who though "color blind," paints all its scenery, and has quite a local name, not only for his "interiors" and oak chambers, but eveu for landscapes. I cau te31 you also of two London ladies who consulted me for color blindness who paint really beautiful pictures One is the daughter of a late famous artist and was taught painting by her father. She is quite unable to distinguish red from green, but her colors are all labeled with the names, and she has been taught which to use for certain effects. Possibly her painting may seem to her eyes, as ifc were, drawing with a brush and "shading" with the colors. The other is a lady artist of some celebrity, who has for years exhibited annually London.

The public is not aware that is color blind She painted the "Wedding Group" for a certain noble bridegroom a year or two ago and also several public men's portraits and one of an eminent physician fetched 500 guineas- There is a gentleman residing "at I was delighted, bufc at the same time wondered to see my wife and children there. The priest mounted the pulpit; and preached, but I could not understand what he said for the sound of the organ, which continued to play I took my oon by the hiaid, and with him ascended the church tower, but again the scene changed. Instead of being near my son I stood near an early known but long dead officer. I ought to explain that I was an army surgeon during the maneuvers. I was wondering why the major should look so young, when quite close to my ears a cannou sounded.

"Terrified, I was hurrying off, wheu I woke up and noticed that the supposed cannon shot had its causa in the opening of the bedroom door, through some one entering. Ifc was as if I had lived through an eternity in my dream, but when I looked at my watch I saw that since I bad fallen asleep not more than one minute had much shorter time than it takes to relate the occurrence.

Few lawyers believe that Mrs. Abbott is eligible if she has been elected, and while her candidacy excited a great deal of interest in the county, it does not appear that she strengthened the ticket considerably. The "favorite daughter" has not been very warmly receivediu Michigan political circles as yet. It will be remembered tliat a woman was nominated for superintendent of public instruction by the Grand Rapids convention; but she decided that discretion was the better pare of political valor, and declined the nomination.

"John Harmon died here from the bite of.a rattlesnake." This is an inscription on a beech tree standing on the knobs, in xMonroe township, back of Jeffersonville. A date once followed the but it is now indtstinct. There is a strange story connected with the inscription. An old resident relates it. Years ago, when that section of Indiana was little explored and when the heavy bush was the dwelling place of the wild turkey, deer and rattlesnake, John Harmon started to Cfaarlesfcown to attend court.

He was armed with an old fashioned rifle. A rattler bit Harmon's leg. Harmon killed the reptile, -then he began to prepare for death. It was he who carved the words in lighter lines on the tree, with the request beneath, long since obliterated by the tree's growth, to bury him on the spot A few days later Harmon's body was found. A grave was dug by the tree and there it can be seen today.

A La.Tv-ycr Retort, The greater number of cases are tried before judges without juries, and the occupants of the bench are accustomed to resent an eloquent appeal as something in the nature of an insult to their mental powers. "Do you think to soften my heart, sarcastically asked a well known chancery judge when a member of the equity bar, making a rare attempt at rhetoric drew a pathetic picture of his client's wrongs.

''My lord," replied the counsel, who who at once recognized the failure of his appeal, but was quick to find success in his retort, "I know it is impossible." -r-London Globe.
