Maude Powell has expressed bef surprise that there are not more peo- ple learning to play the instruments of reed and brass. "Somewhere in this country.- she «ays. "there la a native born oboe player, but I have never met him. And oboe players are always m demand.** As a matter of fact Miss Powell is right. Oboe play- era, trumpet players, trombonists, horn players and clarinets are always In far greater demand than players of stringed Instruments. Good perform- ers on the former instruments draw salaries ranging from $35 to $75 a week, and they can always find em- ployment all through the year. Good Work of the Agitators.

The little state of Rhode Is- land contains only 1,250 square miles, but It is big enough to have had a rebellion of Its own. In 1663 Charles I. granted the Rhode Island colony a charter, according to which only those owning a certain amount of property were entitled to the right of suffrage. Curiously enough this provision was held to remain In force for 180 years; that is, till 1843, In 1841 there was an agitation to change the provision, and H resulted In the formation of two parties, the "Suffrage" and the "Law and Order." Each determined to se- cure the administration of af- fair*, and each elected a set of state officers. The "Suffrage* party chose Thomas W. Dorr as gov., nor, and took possession of the State arsenal. The militia was) called out and Dorr was obliged to flee. He made anoth- er attempt, but was overpowered by United States troops. He was triad, convicted of ttwason, and sail?infflf'"tff lmprtso**«"*lrl f°r Ufa, Altar tha ewltewiejit died he was pardoned and the the RECALL OLD RECORDS AMERICA HAS HAD HORSES OF RARE RENOWN. »••••§•••»♦ People Are Doing in Kenilworth Interesting Comparison of Thee* of Eighty Years Ago With Jerry M.* Recent Remarkable Race In Ireland.

He is considered the greatest horse in Ireland, and perhaps on the con- tinent, and in view of the heavy weight carried, U truly a wonder. But, says a writer in the Horseshoers* Journal, what about the old warriors of the American turf, those of the 10s and 40s going the same route, working at the trotting gait and covering die-* lances in a little slower time. * i The Dutchman, in May. 1836, on the Centerrille (L. t) coarse under saddle and at the trotting gait, went fonr< ability which was exceptional. miles in 10:5L The weight carried â€" - - -•â€" *wâ€"-------â€"«- by the horse is not stated, but judg- ing from Hiram Woodruffa scaling of 160 pounds, without saddle, it la safe to say that the Dutchman carried near- ly aa, much weight as Jerry M- did when he won the Liverpool Grand Na- ^ Uonal Steeplechase recently In ten : difficult minutes. When It la considered that the Dutchman worked at the trotting gast, the performance «is all the greater. Ten minutes and fifty-one seconds for four miles waa the best of early days, and the mark waa a record for many years for trotters working under sad- dle. Reduced to miles it means that the average for each waa 1:42%. The record for runners for four miles made previous to 1842. was held by Fashion, who won over Boston, a nine-year-old. in 7:32H or 1:15% for each mile covered. The record was established at Union Course. L.

The wonderful prowess of Eclipse and other horses of the time was es- tablished by the fact that they could repeat the same long distance on the same day, though not in time as fast as the first heat Eclipse in his race worked under the three in Are plan and each heat was made in time as follows: First beat. 7:17; second heat, 7:49; third heat, 8:24. This waa In 1823, » years ago, when blood was put to a test, the four miles route be- ing not an uncommon thing to wit* ness. Tracing the lines of the thorough- breds back into history, bow many times we see the name of Eclipse men- tioned; his blood intermingles with the very select of the present day, and the reason why is easily seen. Time has not bade great changes in the thoroughbred line if the perform- ances of Eclipse dre figured up. Mrs. Paul Schmlse and daughter. Miss Helen, are In *Vew Haven, Conn., visiting Salter Schntse, who is a student: in Tale university. The presentation of the entertain- ment at the Kenilworth Assembly hall last week Saturday, under the auspices of the Church of the Holy Comforter waa largely attended and waa a pleas- ing success. More than 200 extra seats were provided to care for the overflow crowd. The presentation of ~Every- woman" was exquisite. Many said aft- erwards Chat they had no idea that it could be so well done by strictly ama- ] tear talent. Mrs. Gasque in the title | role was all that could be desired. Her } interpretation waa perfect. Her naturalness, enunciation, restraint, everything blended into a dramatic The pans of the three companions of Everywomanâ€"Youth, Beauty and Modesty, were taken very prettily by the Misses Edith Chandler, Margaret I Fitch and Olive Bulley. Miss Marie ! L. Kasten portrayed splendidly the part of Truth. Conscience was taken by Miss Harriet Stuart, who played It well, her singing being charming. The male parts were all taken by choirmen from the parish choir. Mr. Gerald Irving Coen made a splendid Nobody. Mr. Frank W. Coolidge. Jr., played the part of Flat tery with much grace. The part of Passion was well taken by Mr. Harold D. Saurer, whose beautiful voice was a joy. Mr. William *J. Englar played the part of King Love very acceptably. Mrs. J. S. Cline was at the piano, and the beautiful accompaniment which she devised added greatly to the effec- tiveness of the play. Mr. John G.'Bay- liss, the choirmaster, acted as stage director. After the intermission came "The Pink Jinks." It met with a tre- mendous ovation and notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, the enthusi- asm of the audience increased with each well turned stunt. Mr. Edward D. Wheeler was the director and inter- locutor, and the greatest credit is due him for producing what was declared on every hand to be "the very best show of the kind ever put on in Kenil- >worth." The "end-men" were Mes- dames W. C. Englar, W\ L Woodward, "Henry Taylor, Jr., A. W. Frlese, G. W. Pitts and Miss Charlotte Frlese. The jokes which were kept such a secret between the interlocutor and the "ends" that they were not even re- hearsed before the chorus, elicited the m Mental Wabblers Win No Victory.

P, the man who never drinks who was made the heaviest purchaser of wet goods, etc., etc It was harmless, mirthful fun and the audience entered Into it with en- thusiasm. All the songs went excep- tionally well, and were loudly applaud- ed. Those who sang were Mrs. Wood- ward. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Englar, Miss Frlese, Messrs. Wheeler, Jackson, Erbe, Veness. Saurer and McConnell. Mrs. Woodward had the assistance of a young lady of the mature age of four summers, who brought down the house and then promptly went to sleep. Messrs. Erbe and Veness were assisted with mandolin accompani- ment played by Mr. Emory Cobb An- drews and Mr. Herbert Taylor. The closing song was a duet by Miss Char- lotte Ftiese and Mr. McCennell, end- ing with a stirring dance and chorus. The dancing of Misses Nettle and Evelyn Isom was exceptional and was greatly enjoyed. Mr. Harry Auracher, the accompanist from Chicago, paid the young ladies the high compliment of saying that In all his wide profes- sional experience, he had never seen, outside of certain world renowned Russian dancers, such grace in the terpsichorean art The booklet con- taining the program was beautiful to the eye as well as contributory to the treasury in a very handsome manner. The greatest credit is due to Mr. M. B. Hart for this very attractive piece of printing. It was a matter of deep regret that Mr. Hart could not be pres- ent, he being at the bedside of his son, who is seriously ill with typhoid fever at the University of Illinois. The ticket sale came up to and exceeded expectations. Much credit belongs to Miss Elizabeth Wood, who disposed of nearly a hundred tickets, and to Master Billy Englar, who sold almost fifty. The total amount taken in will approximate $900. It was a great en- tertainment and everyone there will not soon forget the enjoyment of the evening. .;; Do yinvildihl at ' Do yom wish b»MQ or boose? â- â- *, ^.J Hare yon Do yon wis* t» salT houseâ€"or bw*.of#r^.,: Do yon want wotkt Have jim old things?

While the congregation was standing, during the singing of an anthem, she rushed up the chancel steps and began throw- ing hymn books at the minister, and finally exclaimed: "Take him from the church!" The minister waa great- ly astonished, knowing nothing of the disorder until he was struck In the back. He thought a stone had fallen from the roof. In court the woman expressed regret.
