They were talking about the old-fashioned
auppcr of our forefathers , still strictly ad
hered to In many localities , particularly In
the eastern and middle stales. She was tin
exponent of the newer Idea , but be , older
than she , was Inclined to doubt whether the
now tangled Idea of eating dinner at supper
tlmo was just the right thing to go to bed
on. And so they quarreled , and now there
Is a coldness between the two which'bids
fair to wreck two trust.ng hearts. It's re
markable how this eating business will bring
about enmities , but then that's another story.
Speaking of supper brings to mind the fact
that the supper fashion la both growing and
dying out or rather the nature of the meal
IB being changed. When one speaks of supper -
per nowadays one generally means the Eng
lish meal , served at any time after half past
0 In the evening , and generally on returning
from the theater , consisting of cold meats ,
hot dishes of the savory sort , sandwiches ,
Welsh rarebits and other foods that are such
uttilT ns dreams are made of. Only In New
England towns , and In too few of them , Is
supper served at C o'clock , on a white-clothed
table , to which nil the family alt down.
There Is only one objection to this meal-
It necessitates the eating of that abomlna-t.on ,
a noon dinner , but even this sacrifice le
worth making once In a while for the sake o (
a supper "like wo used to get at grandma's. "
And grandma's bill of fare was something
like this : Hot cream biscuits , tender and
flaky ; strawberries carefully hulled and
washed and plied high In saucers , to be eaten
with sugar and cream ; a big glass dish ol
quaking yellow quince preaervo for the one
strawberry hater ; crcntn cheese ( wo call It
Ncufchatcl now ) In cunning little pats , and
golden butter gleaming under bits of chipped
Ice ; a platter of ham nnd another of smoked
beef , the latter smelling like old boots bul
tasting delightfully ; a big , cold custard pie
caraway seed cook'cs or thin ginger snaps
and , always and ever. cake. The pot of fra
grant tea would be the only warm thing al
lowable , and even that would bo sometimes
superseded by hulled corn and milk In the
very hottest weather. Such a meal was
Ideal and Its cold weather counterpart was
even as charming In Its differing fashion ,
Why doesn't some ono write a poem on th (
suppers of yesterday ? As a rule they have i
firmer place In the memory than the loves
or even the fortunes of long ago.
Three of the coming debutantes , Miss Allci
Andrccscn , Mis * Grace Allen nnd MUi

Harmony , while denoting a succession of
chords , according to the rules of progression
and modulation , treating of their construc
tion and progression , and beautifully ex
pressed In Milton's lines :
"Ten thousand harps , that tuned
Angelic hnrtnonles ,
would hardly suggest soul , passion , poetry
In Its abstract sense , Is brought very near
these finer feelings by Dr. Baetens , who
continues his Interesting series of articles
on this subject under the title of
HARMONY ORIGINATED BY THE NORTH
ERN LAITY.
We now come to the consideration of har
mony , the combination of musical sounds ,
which Is not of southern nor of ecclesiastical
origin , but purely a discovery of northern
nations , who attained to a rude maturity
In Its practice , with no guidance but that
of their natural instinct. Many proofs that
our Saxon and Danish ancestors had the
habit of singing In parts from the writings
of Glraldus Cambrensls ( Gerald Barry ) and
other early authorities , have been brought
to light In researches Into the nationality of
music In the north ; but one proof In partic
ular of this Interesting fact has been rendered
widely familiar by Canon Klngsley's picturesque -
esque romance of "Heraward , " wherein an
Inclndent , which strikingly bears upon It , Is
quoted ; nay , the very words Introduced ; from
an ancient Latin version of the cotempo-
raneous Anglo-Saxon chronicle of the deeds
of the last opponent of the Norman Invaders
goes to prove this. Hereward and two com
panions , the story runs , disguised themselves
as minstrels In order to gain admission lo a
n arrlago feast In the castle of the king of
Cornwall , and to maintain their assumed
character thsy sang , sometimes , after the
manner of the Gervlans , In three parts.
These Gervlans were the residents of the
eastern counties , ami Hereward .himself a
native of Bourne , In Lincolnshire , England
was familiarly versed In all the arts , civil
as well as military , of his compatriots. An
evidence of the continued popularity of tills
national manner of singing In harmony of
three parts , appears In the freemen's "Songs
of the Time" of England's Henry VIII. , some
spclmens of which "Of all the birds , " and
"We Bo Three Poor Mariners , " for Instance
were printed In Ravenscroft's "Deutermella"
In IGO'J , and frequent mention of them occurs
In writings of a century earlier , indifferently
as Freemen's or as Threemen's songs.
To pass forward to our own tlmo , I am
assured by several persons wno have lived
among the country folk of rural districts In
Great Britain , * that -these sing , at harvest
feasts , at Christmas , and on other social
occasions , appropriate songs In three-part
harmony , which have probably never been
written , the singers having no technical
knowledge of music. In Wales the peas
antry may commonly be heard singing un
written three-part music. The reverend pro
fessor. Sir F. A. G. Ouseley , has shown that
the untaught practice of extempore part
singing prevails aniong the Russian peas
antry , and there Is'great authority for the
assertion that this exists In all northern
lands , and has o.xltted since the utmost
range of man's memory.
Let mo take a step higher In the social
scale and turn from the wholly untutored
rustics to those of the community who en
joyed general , though not musical , or at
least not harmonic , education , and among
these we shall not rarely find persons with a
miniature celebrity''for singing what they
call "second" that Is , for Improvising an
under part to n kno yn melody upoJi the sug
gestion of tholr natural sense'of'euphony.
Mankind In the south of Europe appears to
ba endpwed with such facility -melodizing
that the people may bo paid to make their
cantilenas ( melodies ) In the very act of sing
ing them , and thus , having the habit of
constantly producing new variations of cer
tain routine progressions , they have no mem
ory for the airs of other than their own
times and possess In consequence scarcely B
national melody of two generations old. We
of the north , on the contrary , If our tune-
are less easily wrought , seem to work In mor < ;
enduring material , since we have produced
tuneful crystals that have been treasured In
the traditions and archives of our nations for
ages , and as If In compensation ct cur wan
of the southern melodic fluency we possess
gentle and simple , the Inborn faculty of en
riching our tunes with harmonic combina
tion. Herein we find a phase of the Imagin
ative character of those races who see In
their mist-clad trees and rocks and moun
tain peaks something besides their substance ,
who fancifully people the elements with n
host of fairy existences and whoso musical
conceptions are not the bare outline of super
ficial certainty without the Investiture of suet
under current of thought as quickens facl
Into poetry.
Having thus far considered the hlstorlca
origin of harmony let mo assume that ths
endeavor Is worthy of this truth-seeking agi
to attempt the exposition of the arbltrarj
laws that long regulated Its ueo , and tin
natural principles that have In some degre <
superceded them , to those who study musk
from a pleasurable rather than a professlona
point of view.
In modern music all coherence , both o
melody and of harmony , all relationship , al
principle is involved in the arrangement o
notes which constitute a key. This ar
rangement refers to any note that may bi
arbitrarily chosen as the key-note. Tin
key note is In a piece of music , to speal
comparatively , as the point of fight Is In ;
perspective drawing , whence all the line :
diverge anfi which regulates the proportion :
of all the objects In the picture. There an
two kinds of keys , major and minor , each o
which has seven diatonic notes and flv
chromatic , whose total Is the twelve swund
already noticed In an octave ; and the namci
of these and their Inflection by sharps o
flats depend upon their relation to the kej
note.
In a major key the diatonic notes stani a
the Intervals from the key note of major eec
oni. major third , perfect fourth , perfect fifth
major sixth , major seventh and perfect oc
tave , which last Is a repetition of the first
being the beginning of a second octave. Th
sixth degree of the major key is tha key not
of a minor key , which unfortunately Is callei
Its relative minor , and the third degree o
this minor key Is consequently the relatlv
major. Thus C and ' \ \ D and B , E flat am
C are relatives , major ana minor. The re
latloiwhlp of thcj'o' keys consist In thcr
being more notes In pommon between then
than there are betwpen a major key and an ;
other minor key th'An 'Its so called relative
'
and the relationship' is' Indicated by the tw
keys having the sa ne1 signature. There I
some analogy to thi } 'ecclesiastical system 1
the frequent use of the term moJe , whei
speaking of theae quajltlei of major or mlno
In a key. It Is rf' remnant Indeed of th
church theory to regard the major mode a
modifications of the same scale , a theor
which Is opposed toHrialural truth and whlci
has consequently sometimes Induce 1 harmcnl
obscurity In compositions oven of the great
est masters. TherpIn an Important dla
Unction between a.niqjor key and its relatlv
minor In the emplo > rnenL In the minor o
an accidental sharp , t , natural to raise It
seventh degree la , ] tho. , Interval of a semi
tone below the key pte , and the observanc
of this prevents canuJon between any rcla
tlve major and minor keys. ]
miwt bo understood , < hen , that th
variations of major and minor ar
modifications of the one same key , not c
the two relative keys and It will be see
that a minor key has either three flats mor
for Its signature than the mnjor key of the
same key-note , for example ,
0 MINOR.
C , D. E flat , F , G , A flat , B , C , or Hint
the major key has three sharps more than
tha minor ,
A MAJOR.
A , B , C aharp , I ) , E , F sharp , O sharp , A.
This term , relative , Is here regretfully used
In application to two keys that are totally
distinct , not only In acthcttcal effect , but In
natural derivation. Regretfully because It
has led to many n most evil misapprehension
and because It Is n stumbling-block in the
way of students. I .should rcjolco to cast It
away now and forever , but fear that ti thing
so deeply rooted In general acceptance as Is
thlp will not ylelJ to u fling. 1 aim , however ,
to explain It away , hoping by reason more
than violence to weaken Its mlsleallng power ,
CHARLES BAETENS.
Padercwskl has nearly finished his four-act
opera. The book Is built on a modern sub
ject nnd the scene Is located In the Car
pathian mountains , on the border line of
Hungary and Gallcla. Sir Augustus Harris
Is to produce the work at Covent Garden.
It will bo sung In French , but at Duda-Pesth
It will ba given In Hungarian , and at
Dresden In German. Abbey & Orau own
the American rights.
Scats at Covent Garden on Pattl nights
command $15 each. She sang In "Travlata"
Tuesday evening to nn Immense house. This
would seem to give the lie to the old croak
ers who say Mme. Patll Is of the by
gone. To our way of thinking , she Is very
much In evidence.
Franz von Suppe Imo left an nlmo.n .com
pleted opera , composed for a llbri-tto taken
form a book by Ludwlg and Victor Loon. It
will bo completed by a Viennese composer
for Director Jauner , who IntenJs to produce
It as the orenlng performance of the Carl
theatrr , of which he has undertaken the
management.
Mr. Joseph Bennett In the Indon Dally
Telegraph pays the following compliment to
an American composer : "There may be
some connection between the approaching
visit of a largo number of American musi
cians to this country and the Inclusion In
the next Philharmonic program of an over
ture from a transatlantic pon. The work re
ferred to Is entitled 'Melpomene , ' composed
by Mr. George Whltfleld Chadwlck , a New
Englander , now In his forty-first year. Mr.
Chadwlck's music Is by no means unknown
on this side , but his 'Melpomene' has not , so
far as I remember , come to a hearing In Lon
don. A glance at the score shows that the
work Is no unworthy tribute to the muse
of tragedy. Its character b elevated and dig
nified and the workmanship shows very con
siderable power of development and generally
of constructs skill. That It will meet with
a sympathetic reception cannot bo doubted.
'Melpomene , ' written In 1887 , was preceded
In 18S3 by an overture entitled 'Thal'a. ' "

COMMISSIONERS ARE ANGRY

i .Murder CIIMI Itciidy but ( Iocs ( Her
Uullt Nrxt Term Proposition to 1m-
liroro l.oiivnmorlli Stronl Agreed
to Levy Next Tuojility.
A round scoring wa administered In the
Meeting of the county commissioners ycstcr-
lay afternoon by the members of the board
) ii account of the methods pursued by the
tulge of the criminal court In summoning and
hen discharging juries , Irrespective of the
cost which the county must foot. The com-
nlssloncrs grew so warm when their alien-
Ion was called to the matter on account of
ho presentation of a bill for $65 , which they
'omul ' they had to pay for a useless expense ,
hat Chairman Williams proposed while the
nectlng was in progress that the commission
ers adjourn In a body , call on Judge Scott
and demand an explanation why the last
lanel of petit jurors had been discharged
vhllo the state still had Important criminals ;
confined In the jail awaiting trial and wit
nesses were here whose presence had been
procured from a distance at great expense lethe
the county.
The discussion grow hot , but the suggestion
was finally made that such a call would do no
good , as the court would have his own way
ind do as he liked. The commissioners would
limply have to pay the bill and let the matter
tJrop.
It appears that Friday last Judge Scott Is
sued orders that the cntlro panel of jurors
remaining over from those empaneled last
Monday should be discharged , after but a
veek's service , Instead of the customary three
veeks' service. This was done In the face
of the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Ish are charged
vith murder and manslaughter , respectively ,
and are out on .bond. The state has an-
lounccd Its readiness to proceed' ' with the
case.
SEVERAL OTHERS BESIDES.
Besides these Important criminal cases ,
vhlch are consequently pushed over until the
September term , six criminals held for lar
ceny , forgery , running a lottery , horse sstcal-
ng , bastardy and burglary are In Jail and
complaining to the jailer because they will
lave to wait alt pummer In the county bo.i-
tllo to have the fact of their guilt or Inno
cence established. The men have been In
confinement some time already.
The case which was brought to the board's
attention was that of Ed Perry , who Is
charged with three several acts of burglary
last March. Perry has won the reputation
nf an all-round thoroughbred , and the state
was exceedingly anxious to make euro of his
conviction. The charge Is made that Perry
broke Into the house' of H. M. Jewell and
took $200 worth of Jewelry and clothing , and
afterwards that lie broke into the house of
Mr. O'Neill and of Mrs. Stokes , at 1312 Spencer
street. When captured in Chicago , James
T. O'Donnell of the Chicago detective force
found the goods on Perry , and was brought
at the state's expense to occuro Perry's con
viction. His bill , including traveling ex
penses , had run up to $05 , as the Pro pct Ill'.l
cemotciy case had been pushed In ahead of It
for trial. Thereupon the court , without tak
ing un the trial of Perry's case , dUm'arol the
panel of Jurors , so County Attorney Baldrlge
concluded It was cheaper to run the chances
of getting O'Donnell here next fall by payIng -
Ing his present bill now. The commissioners
talked of calling a special jury , but gave up
the project of presenting the casx > to the
court as useless.
WILL GRADE'LEAVENWORTH STREET.
The county commissioners determined
to asslat In constructing the Leaven-
worth street road to the state fair
site , adopting. on motion of Mr.
Stenberg , n resolution similar to that of the
city council. The county clerk was directed
to advertise for bids for the removal of 10,000
yards of earth , according to the specifications
on file with the county surveyor. This places
the construction of the roadway In the posi
tion where Its future depends on the street
railway's action , Chairman Williams says , the
board agreeing to improve t'ne road if the
company will undertake to construct a track
to the grounds.
In view of the new tax levy , which can be
legally drawn up In July , the board allowed
about 110.000 In bills , mostly for articles pur.
chased of city merchants who advanced the
county ninety days' credit on the ssales. The
board also disposed of some claims for wit
ness fees before the grand Jury , rejecting
some of Pyburn's. claims for looking up evi
dence In liquor cases.
The board holds a meeting Tuesday after
noon , when It will sit to make the annual tax
levy. _

SIOUX FALLS , S. 1) . , June 22. ( Special. )
Although only a little over hnlf of thl
month has gone , the weather report showi
that over six Inches of rain has fallen gen
erally over this state , being the largest pre
cipitation In the Mine length of time In any
Juno for nineteen years. Last night and
yesterday afternoon it rained over half an
Inch , making a few hundrcdths of an Inch
over one foot of rain since April 1. Last
year only about throe-quarters of an Inch
of rain fell during June. The crops are truly
magnificent , on the ground as thick as they
can stand , waist high , of a healthy color
and as even as a floor. Wheat and oats are
heading out. Old settler * say they never
before saw such long heads of wheat and so
many kernels on a stalk of oats. Thcro Is
not a condition unfavorable to an Immense )
yield of small grain. Corn Is backward. The
many rains have been followed by rather
cool spells and corn has stood still for weeks.
None of the farmers are discouraged yet over
the prospects for a corn crop , as they be
lieve that the weather will be favorable from
now on and that corn will come out all right.
Lite flax Is flourishing wonderfully.

As the matter now stands C. A. Dottsford
of this city Is under $150 bonds to appsar
before the next grand Jury to answer to the
charge of committing adultery with his wife.
Some time ago Mrs. Kdsll Dlllabaugh brought
an action for divorce against her husband ,
charging Intemperance. A few weeks later
Dlllabaugh was the complaining witness In an
action against C. A. liottsfonl for adultery
with Mrs. Dlllabatigh. Hottsford was bouTd
over on Monday of this week. Monday after
noon Dlllabaugh filed an amended answer
to his wife's divorce suit and demanded a
divorce for himself. He was granted a de
cree Wednesday , and yesterday Dottsford
and Mrs. Dlllabaugh were married. The
probabilities are that the case against Uotts-
ford will bo dropped on account of the pecu
liar phase It has assumed.
