The first number was a good one for open
ing-a bright selection from an attractive
composer arranged for two pianos. 1t was
played by Miss Main, of Washington, and
Miss Use, of Hyattsville, at one piano, and
Miss Kinney and Miss Caulk, of Sassafras,
at the other. The second number and the
last, bevy choruses by the vocal class, were
beautiful indeed. What could be more beau
tiful than the volume of pure sweet voices of
schoolgirls, skillfully trained to the harmonies
of delightful songs. The third number, by
Miss Cliff, of Sassafras, and the ninth, by Miss
Wolfes, of Annapolis, represented the instru,
mental department, while Miss Wolfes in the
fourth number and Miss Heyde in the eighth
number represented the vocal department.
Surely more could not be expected of school
girls than was realized in the performance of
these young ladies' Their pieces were bright
and sparkling, and were given with credit to
themselves and their teachers. The vocal
duet by Miss Vannort, of Chestertown, and
Miss Franklin, Of Westminster, was much
appreciated. 1t is unnecessary to speak of
the Beethoven number further than to say it
was played by the teachers in order to know
that the rendition was adequate to the selec-
ton. Miss Kinneys solo, the Moszkowski
Gondoliera, was particularly noticeable for
its grace and delicacy and was indeed charm
ing. The concerto by Miss Main was the
most pretentious of all the selections, and her
admirable technique and artistic finish, sup
plemented by the excellent music of the sec
ond piano, made this number one of the chief
items of the program. Miss Blanton, the
vocal teacher, who has made herself and her
department so popular for the last few years,
was to have appeared in two numbers. Miss
Blanton is the fortunate possessor of partic-
ularly rich and true voice, and her ability to
manage voice was shown to be not only in a
theoretical knowledge, but in the practical

MONDAY last the centennial ami
versary OF the death of John Wesley
the great theologian and founder OF
Methodism was appropriately OBJ
served in the leading Churches OF
that denomination Time does not
dim the lustre of John Wesiey's
name, while the learned DR.. Johnson
paid his tribute to the man IN these
words: "The earth may yet produce
greater poets than either Homer, or
Milton; but a more distinguished re
vivalist than Wesley, never. lie
was born-leader, and undoubtedly
had thu most influential mind Of the
eighteenth century. His genius was
not inferior to Richelleu s." In
London on Monday, statue cree
ted in his honor was unveiled. and
Archdeacon Farrar delivered long
and eloquent eulogY of John Wesley,
during the course of which he said
that he regretted, as a churchman,
that the Church, a hundred years
ago, had not the wisdom to asSlml-
late with the mighty enthusiasm
which gave momentum to the Yves
levan movement. ct seemed" said
the Archdedcon, shocking and dis
graceful in Christians bound by a
common Christianity to treat each
other with mutual GOODNESS John
Wesley himself, he added, set an
example of splendid tolerance" The
Wesleys were one Of the most re-
markable families in religious his
tory. John, the founder OF Metho-
dism, was a son OF Sa1u el Wesley,
an English clergyman, and was
born at Epworth, Lincolnshire, June
II, 1903. He died on March ?, just
one hundred years ago. At the
death of Wesley there were through
out the world 134. $40 Methodists,
while today they number IS, $50, 900.
In America the growth of Method
ism has been especially marked.
One hundred years ago the denomi
nation numbered $1,000 in the Uni,
led States alone, while to day the
4,711 Methodist churches have a
membership of 4, $50, 24o.

he Is In NO HURRY.
Governor jackson VIII Appoint No Sena-
tor Yet Awhile.

Governor jackson Will Appoint No Sena-
tor Yet Awhile.
Governor Jackson has followed up
his recent announcement that he
would not appoint a successor to
Senator Wilson for the remainder of
the Fifty first Congress, by the
further statement that he will pro,
badly not make any appointment
until Just before the NEE ing Of the
Fifty-second Congress, on the first
Monday in December next.
This will set at rest in a great
measure the present anxieties and
curiosity fth Sc so nearly interested
in the matter. Meantime there will
be some lively hustling by the two
dozen or more ambitious Eastern
Shore statesmen who are aspirants
for senatorial honors. All of them
will be sleepless from now until one
of them has WOE the prize, and all
their efforts will be headed toward
securing the necessary number of
votes.
Governor Jackson has determined
to defer his appointment because he
says there is no necessity for it, I'm
unless there should be an extra SEES
sion OF Congress meantime, which
is extremely improbable. 1t is still
not improbable that no appointment
at a will be made, and that the va
cancy will not be filled until the
legislature meets in January next.
There are very many people who
believe the better party policy, for
reasons already stated, would be to
leave the matter to the legislature,
and, with whole summer of retlec-
ton and the fall campaign, to give
the leaders all the light they ought
to need, they can better determine
upon the most advisable course If,
then, it should be decided to leave
the matter open, it is safe to say
Governor Jackson will mt exercise
his power OF appointment.
1t has been suggested by some
people that in the complications
which may arise the Eastern Shore
law may be repealed, and both sena-
tors elected from the Western Shore.
This is, however, altogether inpro
bable. The Eastern Shore law was
repealed once, in the case of Cover
nor Swami and afterw ards re- enacted.

Spring is not really here
and the robins have not COM
menced their songs, but the
prudent man prepares for it in
advance by looking in on us
and seeing our goods. We

the weight of the Spring fabrics
we have lately put in. Come
now while the lines are COM
plete, tor there's no telling
how soon pieces will be used
up. A personal inspection OF
our stock is much better than
tor US to name the styles and
fabrics, and is much more sat

In few weeks Spring Over
coats will be seen on the
streets, and if you intend hav-

goods and styles that can dis
count anything in this vicinity.
Prices? Well, you know our

able goods at modest prices.

THE Delaware Legislature

THE Delaware Legislature on
Monday directed the Secretary of
State to enter judgment upon ex
Treasurer Herbert's official bond.
Mr.. Herbert owes the ST ate an I'm
settled balance of S34,4G7 and certi-
hcates of bank stock valued at SAT-
44o have disappeared. These certi
fcates have figured among the asse
OF the State for years past, and were
supposed to be contained in a box
kept on deposit in the Farmers
Bank, at Dover This box was re-
moved from the bank by Mr. Her
bert during his incumbency, and
when examined by his successor,
Treasurer Burnite, was found to be
empty. Mr.. Herbert denies having
ever seen the securities. Nobody
knows when or how they disappear
ed, or where they are. The Break
water and Frankfort mortgage for
$40, 900 is also missing. Tie only
State assets Treasurer Burnite has
in his possession are the Junction

for $500, 900, and the School Fund
bond of SI56,75o
