MACCABAEUS WAS TRIUMPH

MOST EXCELLENT ORATORIO EVER GIVEN IN PLYMOUTH. Mozart Club Assisted by Quartet of Soloists Rendered Piece Thursday Evening. The oratorio of "Judas Maccabaeus" was given in the Orpheum Thursday evening by the Mozart club of this city. It was an unquestioned musical triumph and the conductor Prof. H. W. Owens is to be congratulated on the work of the chorus in the marked degree of proficiency and attention to his baton. The technical difficulties to overconfe in a work like this are many, and especially in a city of this size. Judas Maccabaeus can truthfully be pronounced a high grade oratorio. The conception is noble, the treatment effective, the musical form appropriate, ami 'the Utdry itself admirably told in music, and is a standard , i rri e . .1 . t musical worK. l ne ionowin u trug the argument: Part l Lamentations for the 'Icath.of Mattathias (the father of Judas Maceabaeus and Simon), by whom, the Jewish people had been roused to resist the cruelties and oppressions of Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian King, in his attempt to suppress their religion and liberties.

Mr. Havdn Owens, pianist, Chicago, 111." The solos were all well received and generously applauded. Miss Hazel Neff won many qood opinions and much applause by her treatment of the soprano part. Miss Leiter sang the contralto score with fine effect. She has a voice of good quality with more than usual range. Miss Leiter is a resident of Findlay, Ohio, and is a pupil if Prof. Owens. . On Monday night she sang in Chicago, the same part that she sang here last evening. Mr. Grubb distinguished himself in the considerable portion which the composer lias given to the tenor in this work. Mr. Grubb is now located in Chicago, and has- change of the music in one of the largest churches of that city, and is also continuing his study of music under Prof. Owens. This is his 'bird appearance in this place, and we hope to be fortunate enough to hear him again. Mr. Calvert of Lima, Ohio, sang the baritone, showing the fine quality of his voice to good idvantage. His good natured bearing ami thorough musiciandiip heightened the performance. Mr. Haydn Owens read the oiano score with true artistic Judgment and temperament. He showed a result of a combination of talent and instruction in this difficult work. He is nOt unknown here as he played for the club when they sang the Messiah and CreationMisses Owens.-' aiid Anderson of Chicago, and Miss Mentsges of Lima. O., assisted in the chorus. The whojje work was given with far more than ordinary finish and precision, and deserves unstinted praise. Suit is Dismissed. The case of Mary Weedling, formerly Crocker, versus Robert D. Jones and Leopold M. Lauer, on note and to foreclose mortgage, was dismissed by the plaintiff. CostU wrere paid by defend ant Robert D. Jones.

Over a Little Fence. The litigation was the result of a neighborhood quarrel over the construction of a fence between two farms. One of the farms, consisting of 100 jicres, is owned by Peter zczehowki, a Polander, who . purchased 4 he property about five years ago. Adjacent to this farm, is the tract owned by Heinstand. These two neighbors h'.ivc been quarreling for a couple of years, over the -location of a fence between the two farms.

Steinebach announced that Mr. Plessa Mast had received the highest grade in the county, namely 92 per cent. Cora Mel Patten. At the Methodist church Monday evening Cora Mel Patten, a literary interpreter, gave a reading of "The Servant in the House." The audience was not so large as it should have been, but for fifteen years it has been said that no first class entertainment can get a paying audience in Plymouth, consequently it is hard to get first class talent to come to this city. Miss Patten is in many respects a gifted interpreter, but the impersonation of some of her characters was a dismal failure, like many modern readers, she over does things and makes the ideas and feelings of the author ridiculous. Her range and command of voice are good and her descriptive readings are seldom excelled. Her introduction was very fine and presented as well as any one could the ethical and symbolic features of the play, and her interpretation of Manson, the bishop of Benares, went straight to the hearts of her audience and infused into every mind the spirit of brotherhood which permeates the play. Take it all in all the reading was interesting, entertaining and profitable, far above most entertainments that come to Plymouth. The writer of this, however, believes he has heard several better impersonators than Miss Patten, and he believes that if she would take lessons from some of the old time elocutionists in the presentation of the characters in which she is deficient she could make great improvement in her readings, but we suppose she could not be made to believe this. Contributed. Many Take Examination. Thirty-seven took the examination for city carrier and civil service, which was held in the High School auditorium Saturday morning. The examination papers must be sent to Washington for examination before the appointment is announced. Banquet Lapaz Seniors. The Freshmen and Junior classes of the Lapaz high school banquete the Seniors and faculty Friday evening. The seniors have changed their class colors to cawtava and green.

(An CTY

from Kansas City: The inclosed circular tells a little serial story that should orove to be of much interest to you. The assays made from samples of two sacks of rich ore, referred to in Judge Snider's recent letter, showed values of $95,754 per ton. The big vein from which this ore was taken has proved up for a distance of more than 1,000 feet with every indication that at will grow wider as it follows from the surface downward to the main deposit. With thousands and thousands of tons of rich ore only waiting to be removed, and with the work of opening up, and thoroughly developing the wonderful property being pushed forward with all possible speed, it is not surprising that authorities on the subject of mining investments are declaring the "Two Queens" stock at ten cents, per share to be the greatest money making opportunity in the world today, The universal verdict is that ih?rc never was and nevr will be another such wonderf-il opportunity to grow wealthy from a small investment as. isjoftered in the stock of the'T wo Queens" group of mines. ""Two Queens'" stock must advance. It is selling today at a price I believe to be less than one fifth of its real value, and at onefifth of what I predict that it will be worth in twenty-four months from this- date. There is ore there tons and tons of it. , To make big profits in 'Two Queens" tock buy (today buy to . your limit, while the stock can be bought at ten cents a share. Yours very truly Central Mining & Development' Co., . .. ! Frank H. Horn, Fiscal Agent. John J. McKelvey of Pawtucket R. I.,was on the witness stand when court adjourned yesterday afternoon. He invested $65 in "Two Queensi" stock. The communications to him from the promoters will be read to the jury. Mis. Edna Pearl Cross, a former stenographer for , Frank J." Horn, was also a witness. HEALTH BOARD CAMPAIGN INDIANA STATE BOARD UNDER DR. HURTY WILL WORK HARD. Planning to Exterminate House Flies, and to Stop Slaughter of Infants. The Undiana State Board of. Health is planning two campaigns for. the summer, and they will be begun at once. One will be to exterminate the housefly and the other will be to save th: lives of babies. "During tnt next summer' saidDr. Hurty, secretary of the board, "2,000 babies in Indiana will die from improper feeding. It lis simply a case of ignorance on the part of the parents who do not know any better than to feed their little ones poisoned milk. It is an old story and the slaughter of babes as a result of ignorance s nothing new in this state." The campaign for the lives of babies will be a campaign of edu:attion. Circulars warning parents of the danger of improper feeding of babies will be scattered broadcast by . the state board with the hope that the ideas which fcre presented will take root and result in some good. The campaign against the housefly is made possible by the strengthening of the pure food law by the last session of the legislature. By the amended law the inspectors of the state board have the positive and unquestioned right to go into food establishments and to bring prosecution unless the wares on sale are properly protected from the flies. Circular letters of warning are now being sent out and these will be followed by inspection's, and unless orders are obeyed tho inspections will be followed hy prosecutions. Eventually the housefly may be starved to death. At least if they survive, they will not gain their sustenance by trampling with their filthy feet on the food which human beings have to eat. Dr. Hurty declares that scores of people die in Indiana every year as the result of the housefly which carries germs to the food consumed. i
