fetal to the community" will be sup
ported in the opening speech by Major

enced debaters in hot Springs. The

There was a lively discussion on the
recent motion in the legislature OF S.
Dakota, censuring Chicago and the
Chicago papers for reporting destitu-
ton in Dakota; some being of the
opinion that there is little or no desti-
tuition, and that the reports were man.
ufactured for a purpose, namely to
discourage immigrants; others, who
seemed to be a majority, believed that
failure Of crops and other causes had
produced real restitution, to a large
extent, among farmers Of the eastern
states. and that therefore the papers
should b thanked for making it
known. I6as3ssGDu on Roman history,
conducted ~ ~. 8. Andrews, brought
out very mary interesting questions.

The State Music Teachers
 Convention at Hartford.

The State association has started on
 it's first year of existence. The forma-
 tion of these associations, in most of the
 States, is gratifying fact to teachers.
 On this occasion, the interest manifested
 was great, the discussions were well at tended and the concerts and recitals drew
 overwhelming audiences. On Tuesday morning, Richard Burmeister, pianist of Baltimore, gave recital, which will long be remembered by those who were
 present. His work in sonata appassion- ata by Beethoven and pieces of Chopin was equal to the best given in this coun- try. In the afternoon, Walter J. Hall of New York gave long and difficult piano recital; his best work was done in the s'Papillon'' by Lavalle and ''Tarantelle'' by Moskowski. On Wednesday morning, Arthur Foote gave a recital. His repu- tation as a composer is great, but his pi- ano playing cannot be rated so high. The singing of the Mitchell quintet was a great feature of the concerts. At the discussions which followed the essays, the Nnclm sometimes seen aG cOnYen- tions, who is ''the author of piano forte method" failed to put in an appearance. But ''the great objector' was there, in the person of MT Steele, who made the position of essayist- not altogether a pleasant one. In a paper by MT Gibson on ''The use of the organ as an adjunct to Protestant worship" the writer took the ground that an organist by improper selections, particularly at the close of the service, created impressions not in accordance with the discourse of the day and quoted the irritated minister who said, And then cometh the organist and taketh away the word out of their heart, lest they should believe and be saved." Mir Steele did not see how the organ could be powerful in producing the eff feet mentioned and proceeded to attack many of the essayist's conclusions. MT Tubbs of New York in q paper on 1.-The relation of vocal study to music," was subject to the same treatment. Prof Waldo s. Pratt, the ablest essayist of the convention. on ''Terminology," was also attacked by this active individual and defended himself to the satisfaction of all present. The next convention will be held in New Haven. N. II. Allen of Hartford is president, F. A. Fowler of New Haven secretary and treasurer.

SOUTHPORT.

A band of Indians, total strangers to civilized life, will be among the attract ions at the fair of the Pequot council.
 An interesting 12-inning game of ball was played at Stratford, Saturday, the Southport Stars crossing bats with the famous Eagles. The Eagles were victo- rious, but the Stars did nobly for so young q nine and hope to do even better at the next game. The Eagles led at the bat and succeeded in obtaining the lead, getting six runs in the second inning, while the Stars could find but one. At | the end of this inning, Cummings was substituted for Dunne as pitcher and both sides were retired. The Eagles slowly crawled ahead, the score at the close of the eighth inning standing to 6. The Eagles came to the bat with confidence, but were quickly retired without run by Cummings's deceptive curves. The Stars quickly had d man on each base, but were unable to score until Penney made a terrific strike, driving the ball far over the left tielder's head. Before it could be recovered, tHTee hieh hau crossed the plate and the game was tied. Penney himself was put out when be- tween third and home. The 10th and 1lth innings were blanks, but in the 12th the Eagles made Il spurt and, aided by the weariness of the Stars, piled up six runs, while the Stars got only one. The score:
