How the Two Great Musicians Were
Brought Together In London.

My impression of Joachim as having
the worst hat in London had its pendant
writes a correspondent, in my recoliec
ton of Rubinstein as having the thickest
boots. Nc musician was ever less of az
exquisite he had no 2tfectatjons. lie
wore black broadcloth with q nap on it or
tho kind that parsons used so years ago
and q soft felt hat, and, Notwithstanding
this prosaic setting, looked like japanese
Beethoven--like a Beethoven that had
fallen off the side of teacup.
"He had not, / fancy, much hu!;lor.
but he had great good nature, and once /
saw it tested. 1t was during his second
visit here, when all London was mad over
him, and there was something like Pa
derewsSi fever prevalent, and they were
fortunate who could hear him play in pri-
vato. AT this party all musical London
was assembled, and he was one of the first
guests asked to play. Every one knows
how excited no used to get over the piano
and how fond he was vixen his work was
over of the solace of a cigar. So this night
he withdrew from the instrument with
his host, and the grateful fragrance of q
weed asserted itself from the little ante
room, whose door was discreetIy closed
In due time the hostess had to call on an
other guest, and there was some interest
to see who could succeed Rubinstein.
''She asked Mr.. Corney Grain She was
almost bride, new to the ways of Lon

she should have called on the one musician

A SPLENDID SHOWING.
Comparison of Freight Tonnage Handled
Railroad at Ardmore

There is no better index to the
commercial Importance of Ardmore
as albusiness point than the following
statement of the amount of freight
(tOnnage) received and shipped out
by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
Railway company, during the past
two years. The tables below show
that from April, 1898, to March, 1891,
there was received at Ardmore 43,-
49, ,290 pounds, and shipped out, 20
249, 1858 pounds. From July, 1891, to
June, 1895, the receipts were 62,474, =

in the amount of freight handled in
one year of 43, 1871 pounds. a
grand showing. The figures speak
for themselves. Read and compare
them.

Another annoying piece Of property
is a.lock without key, or one that
rust or age has rendered unservice-
able. Mr.. Robertson can fix any kind
OF lock. no matter what its trouble
is, and he can make a key 10 III any
lock. OF all the many ills the poor,
downtrodden housewife has to con
tend with, none are more annoying
to her than an old sewing machine
that WON'T sew. II you have such an
implement OF worry and distraction,
don't allow your wife 10 fret another
minute, but take it to Robertson and
have it fixed. If you have a friend
whose bicycle is out of repair, send
him 20 Robertson TO have it repaired.
Mr.. Robertson can fix anything from
q tin whistle to 4 steam engine, and
If it is past fixing he cam make you
new one. Ills shop is in the ARD
MoREITE building, and he is always
glad to see his friends with some
thing out Of fix, because he knows
n can relieve them.

The Original Racket.

The first man to start a racket
store in AI1more was DR.. J. f. Rob
erson, thus emitting his establish
ment to the name OF "The Original
Racket Store" This house is the
pioneer of low prices in ArdmOre,
and as a consequence the people
stand by him and his racket store
like brother. The doctor s
business here is most excellent
ly managed by Mr.. L. b. Rober-
son, his brother.
The Original Racket was one
among the many establishments that
were destroyed in the fire, but it was
only a portion of the 1ods and the
building that went up in smoke, and
not the enterprise, vim and pluck Of
the owner and manager. So with
the few goods saved from the fire
and others purchased soon as possi-
BILE, the business was in about two
weeks re-esuablished in a small house
on Court street, and now there are
more goods piled up in that little
house than are in many much larger
ones. The Original Racket will soon
get back to its former stand on Main
street, however, but in the meantime
it will continue to lead in low prices

THE PICNIC.
The Eighth Ardmore Anniversary Appro-
prIateIy Celebrated Yesterday.
Grand Success.

The eighth anniversary picnic yes
terday was n brilliant success, COM
plimentarv to the city and an honor
to the band boys who gave IL. The
crowd attending was very large,
variously estimated at from 10000 to
-, 200 people. The program as here
tofore announced in the ARDMORE-
ITE was carried out to the latter.
There was an abundance Of food on
the ground and IL any failed to have
their appetites satisfied it was purely
their own fault.
The best OF order prevailed and a
Jolly good time was had. The Ard
more base ball boys covered them
selves with glory by defeating the
Ron nine.
The bicycle race was an interest
ing and successful feature. II was
won by George Criner Of Overbrook.
Stand men reaped harvest. Beauti-
ful young ladies and gallant beaux
tripped the light fantastic, love sick
SWANS swung their best girls in the
merry-go-round and tho people from
the forks OF the creek drank red
lemonade, all TO their hearts content.
The speeches by Judge Kilgore,
Messrs. ". y. Ledbetter, e.. b.
Kendrick, Il. ". Dick and Yancy
Lewis were gems of oratOry and
were received with much enthusiasm.
Space and rush for time prevent n
more extended notice, suffice IL 10
say il was a great day fun OF pleas
ure and replete with interesting in
cideuts.

\ history of Ardmorc II ever writ
ten would be incomplete with the
name Of Chas. Durie omitted. lie is
and always has been identified with
this city rs closely rs any business
man within its limits. Enterprising
and public spirited no undertaking
for the general public good has gone
without his moral and financial sup
port, in fact he has always given
with that degree of liberality that
characterizes the genuinely enter
prising, though ofttimes the unsuc-
cessful business man. As a dealer
in farming implements and all kinds
of machinery he has sold hundreds
OF thousands of dollars worth OF
these mechanical products by means
OF which he is probably rs widely
known among the masses rs is any
man in Ardmore. lie not only
handles machinery, but he farms on
an extensive scale and during the
cotton season buys and ships cotton
in quantities equal TO the most ex-
tensive handlers Of that staple. So
cially he is one of the hail fellows
well met and knows no enemy.
His principal attention this year
has been given to the sale OF Deer
ing reapers and mowers, and also
steam threshers on which he has en-
ioyed.a very large trade. lie is also
engaged in grain buying. Il can be
truthfully said OF Chas. Durie that
he can put up better talk, take or
set up a cigar with n friend with
better grace and enjoy and give a
Joke better than any man in Ard
more or the Chickasaw Nation. He
is an Ardmoreite, a democrat, a gem
tleman and a scholar to know and do
business with whom il is a pleasure.
I He, like the ARDMoREITE, has not
amassed fortune, but he handles
enough money or its equivalent I'm

c. f. Troutman.

No man in Ardmore is better or
more favorably known among the
man Of the city who have had houses
built than G. Z. Troutman, the con-
tractor. Mr.. Troutman makes
specially of woodwork, and all over
Ardmore he has many elegant and
tasty Jobs TO his credit. Among the
number is the interior finish of the
Herbert x Lewis building, one among
the handsomest so far completed in
the city. Mr.. Troutman has been in
Ardmore sufficiently long to become
fully identified with the city's inter
ests, and in a large number Of the
enterprises of the town are TO be
seen his handiwork. Mr.. Troutman
takes pleasure in furnishing plans
and estimates for any work in his
line when called upon.

II there is any class OF Ardmore's
business men that deserve more par
ticular mention In this anniversary
edition OF the ARDMoREITE, IL is her
pioneers-the men who were first TO
launch out in any particular or
special branch Of business. There
fore il affords us pleasure to call
special attention to the enterprising
firm Of Bottoms * Hamilton, the
pioneer shoe men Of this city. These
young men came TO Ardmore long
after the town was established, but

One of the best known, most popu-
lar and most successful contractors
in Ardmore is j. d. Burnett, whose
name appears at the head OF this ar
ticle. air. Burnett has many pieces
OF excellent workmanship in the
buildings of Ardmore to prove his
skill as a contractor and executor Of
woodwork, but among the number
we take special pleasure in referring
To the interior finish of the 7. II.
Parker iewelry building. In this job
Mr.. Burnett has taken advantage of
the excellent opportunity to improve
upon his already established reputa-
tion as n fine wood workman, and in
this he has immortalized himself in
Ardmore, so long ut least "a this
building stands.
Any one wishing estimates or plans
on wood contracts will do well TO
consult Mr.. Burnett.

j. NJ. GoIIedee & Co.

Manufacturing timers and sheet
iron workers, are among the most
enterprising and liberal of Ardmore's
business establishments, and they in
every way deserve the splendid
patronage and success they are
receiving. They do none but first
class work, and quick and prompt
attention is given to all orders. They
make cornice and tanks, and the;r
work speaks for itself. They maze
galvanized cisterns, guttering, hut
and well tubing, and do all kinds OF
roofing.

The gentlemen composing this firm
are but recent additions TO Ardmore's
business ranks, but they have al
ready built up a most excellent busi-
ness. Mr.. Millsap, the senior OF the
firm, is n shoe man OF wide exper-
ience, being engaged in the business
in another city, and Mr.. Lyle, his
partner, who is in charge of their
business here, is also n gentleman Of
experience and possesses n tact for
winning friends anywhere. They
carry a full line, and can please any
class Of custom in quality Of goods
and price. Their stock embraces
low shoes and high shoes, fine shoes
and cheap shoes, and II you cannot
be suited at their store, you may rest
assured YOU cannot be suited in Ard
more. All they ask is a trial, and II
their goods and prices do not please
you, they do not expect you 10 buy
Of them. Their store is on south
side of Main street, near Caddo.

Ardmore is proud Of her attorneys
and of none more so than those, the
firm name of which appears at the
head of this sketch. The senior
member of the firm is Robert V.
Dick, young man in years, but
ripe in experience and covered with
successes. lie was admitted to the
bar at Decatur, Texas, in 1880, and
later the same year in Ardmore. lie
has resided here ever since in the
enjoyment of a lucrative practice
and has proven himself an earnest
and successful advocate before Judge
and jury.
Henry IL. Brown, the junior of the
the firm, was admitted at Ardmore IN
1898 to practice by diploma from the
Ann Arbor law school, from which
institution he graduated with honor
able distinction in 1893, Immediately
after which he established himself in
Ardmore and the partnership between
himself and SIr. Dick was formed
that same year. lie has met with
enviable success i'm the practice OF
his chosen profession, and has a
bright future before him.
The firm Of Dick x Brown stands
prominently before the people rs
composed Of honorable gentlemen
and able lawyers, who have greater
and more distinguished honOrs await
ing them.

Everybody knows Uncle Tom, be-
cause there is never an enterprise
suggested for the upbuilding OF Ard
more or the bettcrment OF the cOddi-
ton Of her people that does not re-
ceive his sanction and aid. lie Is
one man among many others in the
city who does not let his own person
al interest control his acts Of enter
prise, his chief ambition being the
upbuilding Of Ardmore and the gem
eral prosperity and success OF the
people Of the surrounding country.
In the meantime he does not neglect
his own interests, for he possesses n
sufficient amount Of the trait OF hu-
man nature to induce him TO look out
for number one, and the wherewith
to put that trait into execution.
His new stone business house,
erected especially for a mammoth
iewel-y gtore, is receiving the finish
ing t,uches, and while this enter
prise will prove a paying investment
to him, Il Is a credit to Ardmore and
a splendid monument to the city's
growth and prosperity. There is
still room for more Uncle Tom Par
kers in Ardmore, however, and as
they come they will make themselves
known by their unlimited ENTERPRISE.

d. E. Allen. Carriage Pointer.

There is nothing more indicative Of
good taste among the husbandmen
of a city than the neat and bright
appearance of their buggies ana car
riages. a vehicle may be ever so
durable and well built, but unless il
is tastily painted, it looks shabby,
and is often embarrassing. II you
have a buggy, carriage, phaeton,
wagon or cart that has lost its origi-
nal coat of paint, you should take it
ut once to ID. +. Allen, the artistic
painter, and have him put a new and
stylish dress on it, thereby giving your
old rusty vehicle an appearance that
will make you feel proud in any COM
pany. His prices are reasonable, and
