CENTENNIAL DUES ARE MOVED BACK
St. Joseph County to Celebrate During Fair Week in September.
Mme. Bishop Pleases With Program of Rare Excellency
Ft. Joseph county' centennial celebration will be held-on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of Fair week next September, according to a new decision of the centennial committee, who met Thursday afternoon in the ofilces of tho Chamber of Commerce. At a meeting several days aV AbFrank, member of the centennial ommittee, was instructed to take up the matter with the proper oflkial and to ascertain the ntiment in regard to the changing of the date. A favorable report derided the matter and the big celebration will not be held during the month of June, as previously announced. It is felt by the members of the centennial committee tlftt the chancing of the dates will be a material benefit to the celebration as more time will b had for the preparations arid the added spirit of the fall festivaf will increase the interest In both events. The committee also decided that the program for the three day would contain a daily industrial. ivie, and school parade, and a pageant each evening at the fair grounds at Springbrook park. Arrangements for the entertainment of the members of the Indiana historical committee, who will visit South l?end this evening, were completed.
WANT COLISEUM AND ALSO RECREATION FIELD
Committee From KMer C'ltie? (Tub to 1h Appointed to MTt Council.
Three hundred and fifty people who attended the Elder Civic club meeting Thursday evening at the Klder school voiced their sentiments in favor of a coliseum building and large municipal recreation held for the south end of the city. A number of talks were ivon by everal prominent residents of that end of the city who stated they felt tluir section was entitled to the same equipment furnished in trur parts of South Bend. According to them not a school in that part has a recreation field. Prcs't (Jus Haslanger of the Klder Civic club and also the South End Federation of Civic ilubs was instructed by the meeting to appoint u committee to meet with cither the cou.K'il or the board of education and ascertain the possibilities of securing the desired building and field for their part of the tity. Mr. Haslanger stated that he would make the appointment of the committee within a day or two. An Illustrated la tin e by Miss (JrC' shorn'of Indianapolis was delivered. Her subject was. "The Prevention of Tubei eulo-is." Following this a program of musical number1 were given by members of tho club. They were: Helen Harden, piano solo; Freda Alexander, viMal solo; Miss Anna Auer, whistlint; solo; Mis.s IMffeworth, reading; George Miller, violin solo. A male fjuartet composed of Messrs. Smith, J'rie. Heintzlernan and Galloway mnir several sunw Another meeting of the club will be held in two w eck.
Mine. l'.ihop was wonderful that much is certain but there were all too many vacant seats and it is f-o seldom that South Pend people are privileged to hear such a celebrated artist as Mme. Genevra Johr.-.stone-Kishop, irirna donna soprano, who appeared last evening in a character recital at the Progress club rooms. The musical treat was arranged by the vocal department of the South liend conservatory. Possessed of a powerful voice, yet beautiful in its sweetness, Mme. P.ishop more than pleased her audience with her choice of lovely German lullabies, fascinating Spanish sons- and arias from an Italian opera. Her two Hawaiian songs seemed to be her greatest pride, from her close association and love for the people of that' country. Both were uuaint melodies peculiai to the music of the island, written by Queen Llliukalini, and to which she played her own accompaniment, as she did to a number of others. Possibly In the last number on the program. "Farewell to the Desert," by Stephen Adams. Mme. TJishop's exceptionally wide vocal range was best displayed. Almost with reverence she sang a sad little ?ong composed by her slster-ln-lav Harriet Axtel Johnstone, whom she explained was an invalid. Another very excellent song was "Fvermore Lost to Me." an old English song written In 1574. Mme. Pishop interrupted her songs with humorous stories of herself in
her travels over the world in a concert tour. Miss Lyle Comstock. as her accompanist, was splendid and In indeed a charming little person. She showed rare technical ability in her parts and guve a group of several most difficult pieces by Itachmaninow, Chopin and Debussy. "At the Convent," by Ikrodin, sriven by her, Is a new Russian composition which has yet not been on programs even in Chicago's musical world. She proved herself master of the piano by her perfect touch and. tone. To the people here Miss Hazel Harris, a local young woman of more than usual talent, needs no introduction. She is a pupil of the prima donna and surely. a career of interest is ahead of her. Though she appeared only in one solo, "Aria, Voi, che Sepate," from the opera "Ise Nozze di Figaro," by Mozart, and in a duet with her teacher, her part was most excellent. At the conclusion of the program Mme. Bishop read a poem by Pauline Johnson and then as a farewell played a catchy little ballad. She was presented with a bouquet of Aaron Ward roses. Mme. Bishop and Miss Comstock while in the city have been stopping with Miss Harris, and after the program were complimented with a delightful supper at the Oliver hotel, given by their hostess. There were places. for 14 guests, Including the faculty of the conservatory and a few invited guests, in the wedgewood room. A tall vase of pink and white tulips centered the one long table.

Fxpeeting perhaps to get away from politics, which haa spelled probe in large and distinct capitals all over the city, Terre Haute civic organizations, led by the Rotary club, are considering carefully municipal government via the city manager plan. Speakers from cities over the country in which the "business form of government" has been tried, have been addressing various meetings there, and committees have been named to confer with civic heads as to the feasibility of drafting a new charter embracing the manager system. Officers of the national republican congressional committee have been named as follows: Hep. Woods, Iowa, chairman; Sen. Fall. Xew Mexico, vice chairman; John R Fversman. Illinois, secretary. Executive committee Reps. McKinley. Illinois: Woods. Iowa; Falrchild. New York; Mondell. Wyoming; Kahn, California; Austin, Tennessee; Esch. Wisconsin; Campbell. Kansas; Browning, New Jersey; Stenerson. Minnesota; Slemp, Virginia; Winslow, Massachusetts; Fess, Ohio; Tilson, Connecticut; Graham. Pennsylvania; Miller, Delaware, and P.ritt. North Carolina. And it was no sooner said than a grand howl went up from the ranks of returning progressives to the effect the Iowa man had been given only the title, while Hep. McKinley of Illinois, as treasurer, will direct the campaign. That the progressives had been submarined was the way the capitol staff writers put it, and they said furtfter that the latest subsea outrage would cause hard feelings difficult to adjust. That Charles E. Hughes is the overwhelming favorite of the republican members of the Massachusetts legislature, is a claim made following a poll supervised by the Boston Transcript. McCall was third and Weeks fourth, a bit: surprise for those who had looked favorably on the "favorite son" movement. The poll result follows: Hughes. 75; Roosevelt. 23; McCall, 9; Weeks. 6; IHK'e. 3; Root, 1; Cummins, l: undecdied. 22; total. 14 0. A report that Quincy A.

comes the news from Rloominjfton to the effect Edwin Corr of that city
will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for the same oflice, to succeed Joseph H. Shea, who has been appointed United States ambassador to Chile, and whose resignation is expected soon. Cov. Ralston has announced that he will not appoint a successor to Shea until after the democratic convention, and that the man who receives the nomination by that body will fill out Shea's unexpired term. State Treasurer George A. Rittler has returned from a rather extensive trip through the east. He says he never saw such sentiment for a man in and out of his party as that shown among solid business men for Woodrow Wilson. "And I never saw such prosperity a. they are all enjoying. You can not get into any hotel in the east unless you send ahead four or five days to make jour reservation. We hear about congestion with the railroads in their inability to handle the busir.ej-s. and other things that give us some i.Jea, but you have to get union tuen to fully appreciu ih
facts. John Adair told us some things about the signs calling for "more men to work," but he did not begin to draw the picture. Pennsylvania. New York and other eastern states are covered with these big sign boards calling for men to take the Jobs. The men who are employed are all worklnff overtime and at splendid wages. The country' has never seen anything like It."
