Miss Rose Nusbaum, who appears at the First English Lutheran churcn next Tuesday night, needs no better introduction to the public than the following Jetter: given by; Dr. , Talmage, In whose church she was the soprano for several -years. 1"Miss Rose M. Nusbaum is a musical gem. She ha mastered the technique of her art. She has done more than that, she can interpret the higher language of the - sympathy. ' Vocal gymnastics may fascinate a well trained musical ; audience as a daring tra

peze performer can focus all eyes upon his reckless feats, but vocal gymnastics do not -necessarily" bring tears to the eyes or make the heart beat with pulsations of purified love. These two achievements Miss Nusbaum can accomplish with her wonderful voice. She has the same message for the present generation that Jennie Lind had for the past. It is always easy for me to preach from the pulpit after she has preached from the choir loft. Her sermon of song invariably makes my , message find a lodgment in some pew. "I bespeak for Miss Nusbaum the warmest welcome from the concert platform on account of the many friends she has won in my Chicago church." Miss Nusbaum is to be assisted by Miss Dorothy Kirkpatrick of New Paris. Mis Kirkpatrick is a violinist of rare ability, her playing having proved a revelation to Richmond audiences. Twelve guests were entertained in a very pleasant manner Thursday afternoon by Mrs. John Hoerner at her home on South Fifth street. The affair was in honor of Miss Hazel Lough.

Attorney-General Bingham has given

time ago County Auditor Coe started on the work of having all school fund mortgages in Wayne county, that had

run the limit, renewed and, because of the fact that views differed as to the

legal requirements of the county in

such matters, and for the additional reason that it developed that the custom in many parts of the state has been to permit loans to run indefinitely, the auditor wrote to the state auditor for an opinion as to the course

being pursued here.- State Auditor Billheimer referred the question to the

High School Students Give Ideas on Civic Improvement

In a recent contest between the lo

cal High School students many excellent ideas were advanced on Civic

Improvement It is but fair to the public that some of these be published as well as the essays which were pronounced best. One pupil protests against the way the court house yard has beeu abused since it was given to the people as a park. More than one laments th&t inexperienced tree-trim

mers have mutilated our beautiful shade trees, "insane, contagious.

butchering fad, making them resem

ble mops or feather dusters." Nearly a score plead for a Riverside par. "As the place now is, it is a disgrace to Richmond with all its

old ugly Bign-boards. with the paper

half-way off and flopping in the wind." "A really beautiful West Side resort would be welcomed by more than one." Billboards are deplored. "So many other avenues of advertisement. Those making use of them are not' so often citizens as outsiders. Even if a merchant were Inclined to use the bill-boards, a clean, well-kept and beautiful city is certainly a. greater advertisement for him than a poster could possibly be." "They bring in no more trade and only destroy the beauty." North D is pronounced the one

street above all others that should be improved. North and North 4th streets are declared equally deplorable. "Tenth and North K street corner should be bought by the city and converted Into a park. Grade crossings at North Eighth and North Twelfth streets are imperative needs. "Rat row" is condemned. A public drinking fountain centrally located, and a public hitching place are named as necessities. The following extracts from ' other essays evidence thoughtful consideration of the city's welfare: "To make a city beautUuL ugly spots must be removed." "I'm fairly eating dust," remarked a lady who was walking down one of the streets of Richmond, recently." All people of moderate means should be com

pelled to sprinkle the streets in front

of their lawns." With a small Increase la the present tax rates, sprinkling wagons could be maintained."

"Few people realise what a nuisance smoke is." I think it Is as essential to keep the back yard clean and grass

mowed as It is the front lawn." "Why not make our city so pleasant in the

summer, thst its residents will toes

away their summer resort catalogues

and will enjoy the season at home in

peace."

Wireless on Lake is a Blow

Struck at Eloping Couples

Chicago. April 23. Another handicap has been placed upon Chicago elopers. In the future, irate parents can block runaway marriages before the intended bride and groom reach Benton Harbor or any other Lake Michigan porta. It is all on account of the management of the Congress hotel. On the roof of the annex a wireless station has been established. Of course the primary motive is not that of placins obstacles in the way of those who wisj to enter matrimonial life without the consent or knowledge of friends and relatives. The intention of the management is the establishing communication with boats on the great lakes and with stations that are to be erected in St. Louis, Detroit, Buffalo, Minneapolis and other mid-West cities. Personal messages regarding weather, boats, races and ball games will form the bulk of the service for the guests of the hotel. , .. The wireless masts and wires which are stretched on the east side of the annex roof have been attracting considerable attention during the past week. ; - - The first wireless message will be sent probably the first week in May by R. H. Southgate, president of the Congress hotel company, to one of the stations up the lake. It was announced early this- spring that all the excursion boats runnins out of Chicago would be equipped with wireless apparatus this summer. Ar

rangements were then made with an Eastern company to place a wireless station in the hotel. Should a sweetheart run away with a man's daughter and start for St. Joe or Benton Harbor all papa has to do is to hurry to the annex, flash a message to all the lake excursion boats, and then wait until his daughter is brought back.

attorney general, whose official decision was received today and is as follows: . Decision Rendered. "Section 6233 Burns Revised Statutes, 1908, provides among other things that, no school fund loan shall be made for a longer term than five years. Section 6231 Burns' Revised Statutes, 1908, makes it the duty of the auditor of each county in case of default in the payment of principal or interest of any 'school fund loan to proceed at once to enforce the collection of such principal and interest, and failure to do so is made punishable br a fine not exceeding- Sl.OOO. Pcfault means simply the non-payment of a sum of money which is due. "The entire theory of the law relating to school fund mortgages is that the loan so made shall be subject to certain restrictions which are laid down not br custom, but by statute. One of these is that no money shall be loaned for a longer them than five years, and in order to enforce this restriction the failure of the county auditor to collect the principal of the loan when due. viz.. at the expiration of the term loaned for, not exceeding; five years, is made a misdemeanor punishable by a heavy fine. "County auditors are absolutely without power by custom or in any other way. to alter or modify the plain mandate of the statute. Requirements Plain. If they could change the requirements in reference to the length cf time for which a loan might be mad, there is no apparent reason why they might not alter, modify or abrogate the school fund law in any other respect. The requirements in regard to the term for which a loan can be made are plain and positive. No one has any right to change or alter the same except the general assembly, and I am therefore, of the opinion that when any school fund note or mortgage matures. It is the duty of the county auditor to proceed at once to enforce the collection of such principal, and if he fails so to do. he is subject to the statutory penalty hereinbefore indicated. ; Of course, this would not prevent the county auditor from re-Ioanlui money on the same real estate after the preliminary steps have been taken, as If the loan were being originally made on said realty.
