A OAY OF LENT.
She would not dance "or gossip
'round uinld the merry throng,
sin would not to ihe theatre go—
she thought that it was wrong
To go to teas or swell soirees, where
wine and women gushed.
And when she trod the room the prod
of evil tongue was hushed;
She knelt lu prayer with marcelled
hair, and slain birds on her head.
Yes, all her life was free from strife
and on devotion bent,
For she was queen with pious mien,
and this— ->ea, this waa Lent.
And there nan nix' whom God's bright
min lihil never nhope upon,
Who climbed <o attic In llu> night
when chiyllght'a work was done.
Who, clothed In lugs. mixed with tht<
hags, with cant-offa of the earth,
Whose ll|>» hud never known the amlle
or mrelem Joy nor mirth.
Who healed the pain of those low lain
with sickness, want of food,
Tho Hitcher Throng, who fled from
wrong could know not whut she
meant—
And this was Christianity, and this
day was In Lent.
When lights have tailed and nuns I%ve
paled Into a dying glow.
When Time has ceased fore'er Its
march and reStlenH, worried flow.
1 wonder which, the poor or rich, will
gel the highest throne—
The one who smoothed the fevered
brow amt heard the moan and
groan,
Or she who wore her sable furs to
church and ant In pew.
Her day* of life devoid of strife her
skies forever blue;
1 wonder will the good God know Just
wltat the poorer meant
Whose every day was Toll and Fray,
whose every hour was Lent.

MORNING WITH THE RECORDER
Thla morning came up a taf'St re
markable proceaalon of strange and
dissimilar types. It is surprising how
popular and how widespread the use
of alcohol has become. There • seem#
to be no claas of humanity which has
not found out the enlivening effect of
this unique liquid. It la the chief ad
vantage men have over animals. But
It la only a passing phase. Fp to ten
or twelve thousand years ago alcohol
was very little known, and now it Is
probable that the Prohibition Move
ment, which has so entirely eradicated
the evil from the South, will very
shortly spread throughout the world
and wipe It altogether out of the mem
ory of this planet. That will be, of
course, when some equally pleasant
and Injurious substitute has been
found.
One gentleman said this morning
that he was fifty-three years old and
had never discovered the aforemen
tioned effects till night before last.
His fine was at once suspended. Ho

At The Grand
“FAUST" THIS EVENING.
Giordano.
Chevalier Salvatore Giordano. the
hrilllanl and handsome tenor, known
to the music world as Caruso's distin
guished protege, first attracted public
attention in this country while he was
making a concert tour with Nordlca
and with whom he shared all the hon
ors, however, this splendid singer, who
appears as "Faust” in Gounod’s mas
terpiece, which will be offered by the
New York Grand Opera Company, at
the Grand this evening, has previously
sung the leading tenor roles with the
Constanteno Grand Opera Company In
New Orleans, with this organization
he was likewise identified during a
long Havana engagement.
Only recently Giordano, gave a con
cert at Acdlan hall, New York City,
which was attended by high musical
society and the Metropolitan press,
with one accord, proclaimed his voice
fully the equal in range and quality,
to that of his famous master, be
sides crediting Giordano with a very
decided advantage over Caruso in per
sonal appearance and magnatism.
Indeed, one of the loading New York
dailies asserts that Giordano presents
the Ideal picture of the sort of lover
that every girl is hound to fall in love
with.
Many persons have been curious to
know by what right Giordano prefixes
the title of Chervalier to his name and
in nnswer to that the tenor proudly
shows in the Italian army. Giordano
however, bestows more tender affec
tion upon orders granted him by the
Sultan of Turkey, the Czar of Russia, j
and other potentates, due to the en
chanting powers of his golden voices
for he Is completely absorbed In his
devotion to music.
To his many other accoplishments I
Giordano adds a fine reputation as an I
experl with sword, foils, or rapier, amy
il is in the character of "Faust" that
he Is afforded ample opportunity to
exhibit his skill In a duel with Valen
tine, Margurite's brother, who meets
"Faust" in deadly combat, and who is
always under a distressing strain for
fear that the tenor might become too
earnest In his threats, and Is relieved
when the scene is over and he fulls
a victim to .Vlophisto's cunning in
stead.
Salvatere Giordano comes to us with
an established record as a tenor of
great dram atlc ability, as well as the
possessor of a wonderfully expressive
voice of absolute purity and eveness '
In the role of "Faust" he Is sold to be
admirable, especially In the Garden
scene, where the love duet between
"Faust" and Marguerite, brings out the
tenor's noblest eforts of Interpreta
tion of Gounod's most delightful work.

13 Slide Down.
St Louis, Mo. —Thirteen men es
caped from the fifth floor by sliding
down a rope made of two sheets.
Their adventure was related by Lewis
Gaylord, an advertising man of New
York. Gaylord was In a room on tha
west side of the fifth floor. When
he took the room he examined the
fire escapes and noticed that the
roof of the building occupied by a
seed company was only 15 feet be
low his window.
Roared in Shaft.
Awakened by screams Gaylord
donned q bathrobe, ran into the
smoke-filled corridor and rushed to
the stairway. The carpet was ablaze
and flames roared in the elevator
shaft. He then started for a window
opening on the roof of a seed store.
In the corridor he heard some one
cry: "I am blind don t leave me here
to die." He made out in some way
a man groping his way along the wall.
Gaylord led him to a room occupied
by Henry Baker.
Blind Man.
In Baker’s room Gaylord and the
unidentified blind man were joined
by nine others. A young man took
command of the situation and tying
two sheets together fastened one end
of the improvised roi e to a radiator.
The twelve men went down the rope
and all were rescued from the roof
of the seed store.
While they were escaping another
man staggered to the room and fell
unconscious. He recovered quickly
and went down the rope. Meanwhile
smoke began pouring into the room,
forcing the men still watting to close
the door anil to cease calling other*
to join them. J R. Stevens was the
last man to go down the improvised
rope.
20 at Windows.
As the men stood on the roof of the
seed store they saw about 20 men at
the windows of the sixth and seventh
floors of the athletic club. One jump
ed to the seed store roof and broke
his leg Gaylord and others went to
th'e edge of the roof and shouted for
help. Firemen raised a ladder
through a trap door but it was too
short. Another was sent up and the
Gaylord party descended without
waiting to see whether the men on
the upper floors were saved. They
think, however, that aU who crowded
the windows were rescued.
L. L. Leonard said he was asleep
on the sixth floor when he was awak
ened by smoke. He ran into the cor
ridor but found the way to toe fire
escape was cut off by flames. He
rushed back to his room and opened
a window. Crawling out on the sill
he hung himself by his fingers until
the intense beat forced him to drop
to the roof of a store building two
stories below There he was picked
tip unconscious.

ball showed plainly what deep an im
pression the different scenes of the
dreadful tragedy, as they succeeded
e:"U other with increasing pathos,
were operating on the mind of all
those present. At the request of a
great many of his friends who last
night were unable to attend, Father
Laube will repeat, the lecture tonight

WHAT MAKES A CITY?
A town in which every one sel
fishly looks out only for his im
mediate interests and pays no at
tention to community affairs, de
velops into an ill arranged, badly
built city. Such a place has nar
row streets, a hodgepodge of scat
tered public buildings, and no runt
of beauty. It is no more attrac
tive than the multiplication table.
The only way to make a city
worthy of the name is for broad
minded citizens to pay attention
to Us devblpment.
