B. Sweet was tendered a reception at the Simpson chinch test night, which was a most enjoyable an: air. Very little of musical interest is now transpiring in this vicinity. The talenteH people engaged in the profession live in peace and harmony togemer these days and everytamg is quiet and scorning. There was a rumor last week that some Ill natured perso had endeavored to create dissensia where all was peace, bu; the plot fell 'to the ground, as.

toriana teiy t'iiose most concerned were sensible people, who frankly cleared up matters among themselves without hrst making the entire community into their confidence. is said that musicians are er3nk but rh. is to be doubted, if one considers tTie nervous strain and the peculiar annoyances to which they are suojec'ted. It hs probable that no other people on, earJi, not even the new ministers, are so beaet with the inconsiderate naggi.ig of wouMJbe friends, and the vicious spite of unreasonable enemies. They ail have loving friend who habitually come to them with information more or lees of this description "Somebody saM you always 'braced up on whisky before you came Into rhe choir loft," or "ilrs.

J. told somebody that you always flat upper or "1Miss B. iias heard thai you said that she coudn't play the organ as well as any 'hurdy gurdy woman." or "Air. K. is trying to get your position," etc.

So thiat really if tneir tempers are frequently a.t the touch and go pottit isn't wonderful. Most of us would curl up like a hedge hog, at the approach of friend or feu and we probably wouMn't sing any better than that defensive animal if we had to suffer half the rasping that is the continuous rewai of the sweetness of tone or touch of our vocalists and musicians in general. It is no delightful way of iiving to stand in a pillory every Sunday and sometimes of week days and feel the coldness and lack of sympathy as only sensitive natures can, and then 'be told between times of the unkind dings that might otherwise escape us. It is a glorious gift to be able to sing, or to evose sweet and otie sounds with the finger tips, moved by the cords of one soul, but it is pitiful and degrading for a true, conscientious musician to 'be at the mercy of the vulgar tongues and the duiied sensibilities of those whose ill nature is only equaled by their ignorance. A quintette composed of Mrs.

G. du B. Dloimick, Miss Joseph, ftliss Kingsbury, Messrs. Beeve Jones and W. H.

Jessup, will sing in the First Presbyterian cauroh to morrow. Mrs. Edith Richards Heckel has been re engaged at the Providence Presbyterian church for the next year. Siie will have entire charge of ihe music and the choir. That Mrs.

G. du S. Dlmmick's lovely voice and excellent effect upon the musical atmosphere of the city is appreciated is attested ty the fact that she has received several offers as solo soprano in churches of city. Miss Winifred Sullivan will go to Tonkers the coming: week to enter upon advantageous engagement In a choir. Sullivan no doubt has a career with her powerful soprano.

She is an the Laws of the State of Pennsylvania and directly under the Msk aeee excellent reader of music and is a valuable acquisition to a choir. the interesting features of the "Woman's Paper will be an excellent article on woman violinists, by Miss Julia Clapp Allen. The chorus organized for the Endeavor convention promises to be most success ful in its work under the d'irectlon of 'Mr. Chandler. About 160 applications have a.iMJy been received.

It is not yet decided as to the accompanist. It probable that h'e oratorio of the Woman of Samaria, by Bonnett will be prepared for an opening concert. FOREST CITY. Miss (Myrtle Faaty died at her home on Wain street at five o'clock on Friday morning. The decased ha been ill for some time.

The date upon which the funeral wHI be held 'has not yet been definitely arranged, but It is expected will take place either on Sunday or 'Monday. The remains will be interred Caibondale. Miss Jennie Stark of Carbondale, is vistir.g her sister.

iMrs. Charles O'Dell. The case of Mrs. Walter MaAvoy vs. Hillside Coal and Iron company came feeore the court at on Thursday.

Evidence on both sides was given, but the prosecution were unable to sustain any of the charges made.

Forest City "borough, which was tried at Montrose on Friday. It will be remembered that a son. Eddie Clune, fractured an arm by falling on the sidewalk sometime ago, which the prosecutor claims was in a toad condition, 'hence ohe action.
