The large audiences at the Stil. well recital, Life, in two hg Sit (Aspiration, and "Achievement," 0 Sydenham Street church lecture hall on Thursday afternoon and ev- ening were delighted. Madame Marie Stilwell, a noted New York contralto, who possesses a sweet aid rich voice with ap absolutely &ven scale, is the chiel artist, whose singing appeals not only to the cul- tured, but also to those who are not to-day appreciative of the better 'music or perhaps of any music at all. In the evening the cycle, 'Achievement' wag presented. The selections were of the emotional na- ture, and varied. But none were more enjoyed than the simp.» old songs, "Flow Gently, Sweet A: ton," and "When You and I Wars Young Maggie." BY request Mme. St; nell repeated, with violin obligato, 'Way Down Upon the Swanee River,' as the closing number, Maurice Warner is doc'ared bv Prof. Leopold Auer the renowned Russian teacher, to stand among the masters of the violin. His rendition of "Ave Marie," (Shubert Wilheln), and "Caprice, No. 24" (Paganini- Auer), were loudly aplauded. The pianistic virtuoso Lee Croni- can has a reputation in Ii uope, where he has engagements thai will occupy at least two years after his American tour. Very few pianists heard in Kingston have apreaied more to an audience than did Nir Cronican. His rendition of "Marche Militaire," (Schubert-Tansig), was th ty appreciated. The recital -was under the auspicas of the W. C. T. U. on whose behalf Mayor Shaw made a few remarks ut the evening event. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In the Interest. ¢ of Better Spelling. London Ont, July 2.--{(To the Editor): The movement in favor of the betterment of English spelling has made 80 much progress that its promoters believe that the time has arrived for the enlistment qf. offici- al action. They have accordingly prepared a petition to the British which is now in circu- lation, praving for the appointment of a royal commission in the follow: ing terms: To the Right Honorable the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Ireland: The humble pétition of the undersigned teachers and others showeth as follows: 1.--The irregularities and inconsis- tencies of English spelling involve a deplorable waste of time and men- tal:-energy in education without any compensating gain. i2.--No philologist or student of language of any eminence 18 oppos- ed to the more or less complete re- moval of these anomalies and many are stromgly in favor of reform. 3.--The adoption of a rational spelling, by removing a serious hindrance to the spread of English within the British Empire and as a world-language, would be productive of great intellectual and ¢ommerci- al advantage. Your petitioners therefore eamest- Iy pray that vou will be pleased to advise His Majesty to appoint a gommission, which should include scholars, teachers, men of letters, and men of business, to consider the whole question, to report whether reform is practicable, and, if so, to indicate what ought to be its nature, and how it may best be introduced. Some of the well-known English- men 'behind this action are Lord Bryce, 8ir William Ramsay, Bishop Welldon, Prof. Gilbert Murray, Rt Hon. Sir Frederick Pollock, Sir James Donaldson, Sir James - Mur- ray. editor-in-chief 'of thé great Ox- ford Dictionary, H,-G. Wells the novelist, William Archer. dramatic critic, Dr. Michael 'Sadler, chancel- lor of Leeds university. Any reader who desires to port the petition is k requested to communicate' the fact to the un- dersigned. One way ol doing so is to cut out the jpetition-heading and attach it to a paper over his signa- ture and address Signatories should add their status or vocation. All communications will be duly for- warded which are sent to. JOHN DEARNESS, Ontario secretary, S.8. 8', London, Ont. sup- Clinton R. Wiltse Made Trustee. Watertown, 'N.Y., Standard .
