Trials of a KontaeUy Blliiltcr.
In speaking of a well known mir.istor
who was until not very louy ago pastor
of a 'large conyrep;;ition ia this city, a
member of that cliarch said yesterday:
"Few peoplo knew what he suffered. lie

Dvorak Awakens the Musical World.
Dr. Dvorak's bold declaration that the
negro melodies of America are to be the
foundation of a great national school of
music ranging through every stage of
the art, from ballads to symphonies and
oratorios, has aroused the musicians of
Europe. The Commercial cable brings
us an interview with Ernest Eeyer, the
distinguished French composer. He
says that the negro melodies, even if
they do not serve as the actual basis of
the coming American school, will de
termine its character.
The presence of the great Bohemian
master in this country is a blessing to
art. And it is a remarkable thing that,
at the very moment Rubinstein, Richter,
Joachim and other famous musicians
were discussing Dr. Dvorak's discovery
with correspondents in Europe, tho com
poser himself was writing the gratifying
announcement that he had just finished
a new symphony reflecting all through it
the negro melodies of tho western world.

Sheep Shearing In New fork.
They are shearing the sheep in Cen
tral park, and a good sized job it has
turned out to be. There are about 80
ewes and as many lambs besides the
two or three rams. All of tho flock are
Southdowns of the purest breed, and
their wool, averaging from six to eight
pounds a fleece, is very fine and of more
value than that of the ordinary sheep.
Shepherd Conway and his sheepdog
are attending the sheep and lambs on the
green, while three or four professional
sheep shearers are at work on the rest of
the flock at the sheepfold. As fast as an
animal has boon shorn it is turned out
to pasture with the lambs and rams, and
the contrast between the thin, white ap
pearance of the shorn sheep and the
thick, brown fleeces of the rams ana
lambs is an interesting sight. New
