That Raises Will Be Forthcoming From Board Richmond railroad employees have

received a letter which informs them

they can feel certain that an Increase in salary will be forthcoming within

few weeks. The letter was sent out

by B. M. Jewell, the railroad men s representative on the United States railroad board. The letter is as follows:

Inasmuch as a hearing has not as

yet been given to the representatives

of certain short line roads and other

carriers, which were not represented

by the railroad executive committee,

the decision will necessarily cover

only the employes of the roads represented by the executive committee

and of such other roads as are proper

ly before the board.

The decision, however, .will cover

approximately 93 per cent of the rail

road employes of the United States

and it is stated that the board as soon

as practicable will give a hearing to

MILLARD FILLMORE

M

By EMMA L. FETTA Private and public recitals of local teachers for June and July and Chautauqua musical attractions for August and early September constitute Richmond's summer music plans. Many musicians, as well as the teachers themselves, are going away for the summer months, either to appear in concert lyceum work, or to study. From an art standpoint the situation is Just opposite. Most of the artists of the community are staying at home and taking the summer for intensive work. One or two artists are giving private lessons. Despite the rather dull aspect for the summer musically, Richmond's winter season ehines. Ray Weisbrod, who was instrumental in brightening a prospectively dull season last year, again has some interesting plans up his sleeve. His sleeve, by the way, usually harbors the best that Richmond can get. The rest is up to the public, which, of course, doesn't always want the best. Earlham Presents One Earlham will again present a musical course the coming season, Samuel

L. Garton announced before he went ! to Iowa for the summer. Mrs. Agnes Hansel Harter, contralto of the First Presbyterian church quartet. Is opening a summer vocal course at the collego. The Elks club has announced some antifipative plans for a concert series during the winter. The theaters, too, are whispering about some of the best road musical attractions. From a distance the season looks unusually bripht. For the summer the public art gallery is darkened, but early in the winter some foreign exhibitons will arrive. Mrs. M. F. Johnston, director, does not have a schedule lined up yet, but she believes the season is to be an especially attractive one. When she was in New York and Pittsburgh recently Mrs. Johnston spent considerable time "thumbing" good things for Richmond. One of the early artist arrivals in the city was John Seaford who, though he owns a house near Boston, and calls that city his home, always flys back to his native haunts at the first call of summer. Mr. Seaford has been exhibiting some charming pictures in the Star Piano company's west window. He will spend the summer here. Mrs. Eggemeyer to Remain. Mrs. Maude Kanffman Eggemeyer, landscape and portrait painter of the community, will summer at the Carr Lodge on Morton Lake which she and her husband recently purchased. Thoir -home on South Eighteenth street was recently sold to Ed Price of Eaton. J. E. Dundy, Elwood Morris and George Baker have been painting in and around Abington which is ever an artists' rendevotis. All three artists are said to be making some excellent pictures. Francis F. Brown has a good sized class of art pupils meeting at his home studio on the National road west, two times a week. He is offering work in sketching and painting for beginners s:nd advanced pupils. Frank Girardin, and William Eyden. Jr., the former a senior artist of the community, and the latter, the youngest, are busy on summer work. Each is at his own studio.

Millard Fillmore, the second vice-' president to be promoted by death, w"as the most common-place president even in a twenty-year period when the presidency remained at low-water mark. Tall and with magisterial front but cold .and hollow, he looked the part which he played the dummy of Northern trimmers in politics and of Southern traffickers in slaves. A fable of the day hit off the truth, the new president must have a carriage, and "Old Edward" Moran, a White House attendant in many administrations, took him to see a handsome outfit, whose owner was leaving Washington and would sell it at a bargain. "This is all very well, Edward," Fillmore mused, according to the popular yarn; "but how would It do for the president of the United States to ride

around In a second-hand carriage?" "But, sure," argued "Old Edward," ! "Your Ixcellericy is only a sicind-hand prisldent!" Fillmore was from New York, which is the unwilling mother of vice-presidents, with no less than ten to her credit. Instead of big states bulbing little states, as the fathers feared, our biggest Btate has been mostly disappointed in its ambitions for the presidency, and it is the custom to give it the vice-presidency, as a consolation purse. Of the four New York presidents, three had to take the second place before they could ge the first. Cleveland was the only one of them to enter the White House by the front door. In Fillmore we have another frontier president. For Western New York was an output, when he was born there of New England parents. After receiving about the same kind of schooling as our other log-cabin presidents, he was bound out to learn the trade of wool carder. While serving that apprenticeship there happened the most important event in his life until he suddenly found himself in the White House. As with the race of boys in general, he fell in love, at nineteen, with a girl older than himself. Abigail Powers was the village schoolma'am, and in his boyish admiration of her superiority he was spurred to read and to repair the defects of his education. The aspiring apprentice excited the interest of the village lawyer, who helped him to become a lawyer, and his marriage with the schoolma'am followed. That is the one romance in the life of the thirteenth president. The rest is only a string of dates and a list of offices: member of the legislature; member of congress; defeated for governor; elected state controller. On the strength of having carried New York for that modest office, the Whigs nominated him the next year for vicepresident, and fate made him president. The one enduring act of the Fillmore administration was taken when it sent Commodore Perry to knock at

the long-closed gate of Japan, and, with the gift of a toy railroad and a' toy telegraph, to tempt the Japanese I to come out of their hermit seclusion. ; The rest is politics, and that is a chap- i ter in itself. I As American men struggled to rise ; from the bottom In the more primitive days of the country, their women often

failed to keep up with them. By the time half of Fillmore's predecessors gained the presidency, their wives were either dead, worn out or lagging behind. Mrs. Fillmore, finding herself without strength or ambition to reign with her husband, her place was taken by a daughter. This girl of eighteen. Miss Mary Abigail, was enough of a new woman to have Insisted on fitting

herself by a course in a normal school to earn an independent living. Being obligated to teach a certain length of time after graduating, she went on teaching school even after her father became vice-president. She kept at it until her mother summoned her to preside over the White House, where she promptly induced congress to instal a library, the mansion having been until then a bookless desert. A month after the end of her husband's term Mrs. Fillmore was dead. Next Miss Mary died of cholera, and then, after a tour of Europe, the pathetic loneliness jot a retired president was relieved by a marriage with a wealthy widow. Fillmore had tried to avert this retirement by an unsuccessful effort to be nominated to succeed himself. Four years afterward he attempted to break

the retirement and return to the presi- j dency. Although he had both the I Knownothing and Whig nominations, j he ran third in the election. He lived

on in his Buffalo home until the very year when another Buffalonian, Grover Cleveland, started for the White House by way of the shrievalty of Erie County.
