REV. KNOWLES PREACHES
A Fine Sermon at the Presbyterian Church
Sunday Night.
Uev. tt. E. Knowles, of Galt,Canada,
who with his wife has been a guest of
Mrs. E. B. Ellis for several days
preichtJ in the Presbyterian church
Sunday night to a large and delighted
audience. His sermon was a beautiful
discourse which was not only xme of
rhetorical and scholary finish, but it
was of practical benefit. The theme
was the value of sacrifice. He made
many fine comparisons to illustrate his
subject, notably the sacrifice that a
mother makes for her child or the pat
riot for his country. The man in busi
ness of ton has to make sacrifices and
yet in all of these cases the love of the
person d es not decrease on account of
his or her privation but on the other
hand it increases the love for the object
for which the sacrifice has been made.
No great thing is accomplished without
giving up time or money, some times it
may appear that a sacrifice is unavail
itg or needless but it trains the heart
and puts it nearer to God who sacrificed
his Son. .
Rev. Knowles has gained wide repu
tation as an author. His recent book,
St Cuthberts has attained immense
popularity and ranks among the promi
nent books of the year. While in New
Bern he is writing another book.

ORIGIN OF BAGPIPES
IT IS FOUND IN THE ANCIENT REED,
' OR SHEPHERD'S PIPE.
(a Early Hum Tkr Wen Mmay
DUmit Klala t BaclM la Vm
la Karoae-ra Htaralaaa, Lawlaaa1
: aad Irtea Varieties. ';
According to the encyclopedia, the bag
pipe Is wind instrument the fixed char
acteristic of which has always been
two or more reed plpee attached to and
Bounded by a wind chest, or bag, which
bag bas In turn been supplied either by
the lungs of the performer or by a. bel
lows. The original Instrument was pre
sumably the simple reed, or shepherd's
pipe, which was welt' known to the
Trojans, Egyptians, Greeks and Ro
mans. But the strain of blowing these
ancient pipes was so -great that some
geulus conceived the idea of having a
reserve supply of wind In a bag attack
ed to the pipes, and hence the bagpipe.
The first real Instrument Is believed to
have been a skin of a goat or kid, with
two pipes, through one of which the
bag was Inflated,, the other emitting the
sound..' -::
In early times the bagpipe was com
mon In Great Britain and abroad. At
one time there were five different kinds
known on the continent some inflated
by the mouth and others by bellows,
while In the British Isles three kinds
were known the great highland bag
pipe, the lowland bagpipe of Scotland
(which closely resembled the Northum
brian) and the Irish bagpipe.
In the great highland bagpipe, which
originally had but one drone, a ralved
tube leads from the mouth to an all
tight bag. which has four other orifices,
three large enough to contain the base
of three fixed loug tubes, termed drones,
and another smaller, to which is fitted
the chanter. The three are thrown on
the shoulder, while the latter Is held Id
the hands. All four pipes are filled
with reeds, but of different kinds. The
drones are tuned by means of sliders,
or movable Joints, and this tuning ot
preparation for playing, which general
ly occupies a few minutes of the piper's
time before he begins the tune proper,
is heard with Impatience by those not
accustomed to the Instrument Indeed,
it gave rise to the saying, applied In
Scotland to those who waste time over
small matters, "You are longer in tun
ing your pipes than In playing your
tune." .
The Scottish lowland bagpipe, like
the Northumbrian pipe, was In two
forms, one consisting of a smaller and
milder toned edition of the highland in
strument and the other a miniature of
this au'.i having the same relation to It
as the fife has to a German band. Its
great drawback, from the point of view
of the devotees of the highland bagpipe,
Is that It is uusuited to perform what
they consider the perfection of pipe mu
sicthe pibroch. These small pipes
were, however, gentler than the high
land, having the" "same tone, but less
sonorous. It was to the strains of such
a bagpipe that Chaucer tells us the com
pany of pilgrims left London, and It Is
the same Instrument that Is alluded to
in Shakespeare as the Lincolnshire bag
pipe. The Irish bagpipe is the Instrument In
its most elaborate form and is supplied
with wind by a bellows. The drones
are all fixed on one stock and have
keys which are played by the wrist of
the right hand. The reeds are soft and
the tones very sweet and melodious,
and there Is a harmonious bass which
Is very effective in the hands of a good
player. The Irish instrument Is fast
dying out.
The bagpipe, though ot one time fair
ly common, never obtained a firm hold
In England. It lost favor and gradual,
ly deteriorated until it Is now practi
cally extinct. The average English
man neither appreciates nor under
stands it A famous poet Irreverently
once compared its notes to "the shrill
screech of a lame goose caught In
corn," wU.Ie another heretic writer lik
ens Ms sound to a "horrible, noisy, mad
Irishman" or to the cries of the "eter
nally tormeuted." To the Irish people
It appeals more strongly. They still
possess In a degree the feeling of at
tachment to the bagpipe which is so
general among Scotsmen. But it is
undoubtedly more closely associated
with Scotland, both in the highlands
and lowlands, than with any other
country, the particular instrument in
use being the great highland bagpipe,
which, as already explained, consists
of three drones. Including the big
drone, which was added about the be
ginning of the last century. It U this
type which has gradually superseded
the lowland pipe. There is no doubt
that the bagpipe was in use in Scot
land from a very early period, and It
is In Scotland that it has been brought
to the highest degree of perfection. Its
music distinctly connects It with Scot
land, as Is clear in the pibroch, the
strathspey, the reel, , the march and
other popular melodies. There vare
proofs that the Instrument was culti
vated in Scotland certainly In the
twelfth century and of Its universal
popnlarity as early as the fifteenth cen
tury, while In the seventeenth century
nearly every town In the highlands and
lowlands boasted of its piper.--London

A True Celebration
Washington's birthday was celebrated
last Thursday in many different ways,
by the public schools of our great Uni
ted States, but at no place could true
loyalty and patriotism exceed the spirit
that was shown by the children of
"Paradise School," at Mansfield.
The programme commenced with sing
ing and speaking by the pupils, with an
occasional address by other heads.
Mr. A. Asa Nichols, Rev. Avery
and Mr. Tolson, giving very interesting
talks.
Much disappointment was felt when
it was learned that Dr. Sanders and
Supt Ennett were not abl to attend
as expected.
After the indoor exercises were over
our attention was called to those of the
outdoor order, which was the marching
in true military style of all the
scholers decorated in keeping with the
day. They lined up in the building,
and with the aid of a drum, marched in
perfect step to where four trees had
been planted in honor of the day, and
bore the names of Washington, Lafay
ette, Education and Cat olina.
It was a beautiful sight to see each
fair young girl, step from the ranks of
their school mates as they stood in
line around the tree and repeating
lines suited to the character represent
ed by the tree, place a wreath upon it
It would not be just to mention any
one pupil with praise, but they all de
serve great credit for the patriotic
spirit shown in their work.
The teacher, Mr. W. C. Murdoch,
who is held in high esteem by the schol
ars and parents of this section, gave
proof of bis ability to guide and direct
the growing minds and hearts of these
coming citizens of The Old North
State.'
I was pleased to n rte a large attend
ance, and the appreciation shown by
everyone. :-.-: i
The large assemblage turned home
ward, after giving three rousing cheers
for this faithful teacher, who had given
us all a lesson in patriotism. ' '
AN OLD PUPIL
BUSY TIMES FOR FIREMEN.
Two Flrei Within the Space ol Three Hour
Keep Fire Laddie Hurtling.
. A fire is no respecter of man's com
fort or duties and it delights in nothing
so much as to call a man out In the cold
and dark night to battle with the devour
I ing element. Sunday night at about half
past eight the tool house in the rear of
Mr. Jesse Harrison's residence, 1G3
Pollock street was A scovered on fire.
The depaitn.ci.L q.j.ckly i t i. out
The damage was slight As no fire had
been used in or around the building, it
is believed that the fire was incend
iary? .'
i A little more than two hurs later an
alarm was turned in from box No. 47
at the corner of New South Front and
1 Spring streets. The fire proved -to be
a two story dwelling occupied by Nancy
Paton and owned by Mary Jane Moj e.
The (Ire made quick work of the place
and was beyond control of the firemen,
The contentn were destroyed also. The
entire loss is estimated at J.'OO. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Other
property belonging to Mury J. Moye
adjacent to the building was threatened
but was saved by the firemen.
LARCE CLASS CONFIRMED.
The Membership of Christ Church Increaees ,
By Substantial Addition '
Sunday night . Bishop Strange con
firmed a class of twenty four persons
at Christ church. It was one of the
largest classes that has been taken in
for many years and it marked an epoch
in the history of the church. Tho cer
emony of confirmation was solemn and
impressive. After the ceremony and
before the new members had taken
their seats, Bishop Strange made a
few remarks impressing upon them the
importance of the step they had taken.
He said they had become separated
from the world and that upon them
along with other church members rest,
ed the integrity of the church. The
world would behold them with critical
eye and the influence of the church
would be limited by their conduct
Bishop Strange preached a very able
sermon on the theme of Right Living.
The text was Micah 6;8, " ; "And what
doth the Lord require of thee but to
do justly, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God." The
prophet preferred to the incident of
Balaam in order to show the power of
God. Would God like us to bring burnt
offerings of our flocks and hercU, of tbe
abundance of our wealth if our heart
were not with the gift? Is it not when j
men do justly and love mercy that
their lives rise like incense to the
throne of heaven. V ?
- If a man should come to me and ask
what d3 these things include; must I
join the church 1 Yes. Must I confess
Christ? Yes. The Savior gives us the
assurance of his promises if we comply
with this injunction. He mentioned
several scripture passages ' to show
what rewatd awaits him who does, his
Chiistian duty
