Frank Trudell is Pardoned From n Ten
Years Sentence in the Pen.
w, Fl. Helwig received letter Satur-
day from Secretary of State Thorson in
forming him that the pardoning. board
had acted upon his application for the
pardoning of Frank Trudell from the
penitentiary and had recommended to
the governor that the man be given his
liberty.
On Thursday, April 2l, 1892, Trudell
was arrested by Marshal Irvine on the
charge OF rape, the assault being made
on Rose Vandernacker. His, examina-
tion was held the following day before
Judge Abbey and the testimony was
such that Trudell was held to the grand
jury, which indicted him and the trial
was held in May. He was convicted
under the charge and Judge Haney
sentenced him to ten years in the peni-
tentiary. At the time great many
people considered him innocent of the
charge. but he was unable to account
for his time between s and o'clock on
the night of the assault, and together
with&he testimony of the girl was con-
sidered sufficient evidence to find him
guilty of the charge
After Trudell had been in the pen
about three months he wrote to parties
here to get them to work on par
don but it was thought best to let the
matter rest for an indefinite period
Last spring W. FL. Helwig prepared an
argument Of the case and with a petit
tion, which had been signed by many OF
the business men and nine members of
the jury which had convicted Trudell,
sent to the pardoning board 1t was
expected that the board would take
some action on the petition last July
but it was deferred until the present
time. Mr.. Helwig presented a strong
argument TO the board and backed by
the petition the board took favorable
action on it. Trudell is expected here
the latter part of this week.

what g. a. Il. man can't make a short

Mrs. Anna Williams, president of the
Relief Corps, in some very appropriate
remarks, presented Mrs Doty with a
gold thimble as slight token of the
appreciation and esteem she is held by
the corps, and silver toothpick holder

Mistaken idea of CAPITAL.

Honest men who believe in property
rights and the just payment of debts
would do we'll to note the attacks on
"capital'' which are such a prominent
feature in tho free coinage press and
literature. Capital is denounced as a
robber Of industry, and the people are
urged to vote for cheap dollars as a
means Of injuring the oppressive cap
italist. To any one who knows what
capital really is-that is, wealth saved
for the purpose Of aiding to produce
more wealth-these denunciations are
extremely silly, Of itself capital is an
inert thing and can do nothing without
human labor and natural resources. In
the form of money its only use in pro-
duction is to purchase real capital
buildings, machinery, raw materials,
etc.-for giving men work, and thus
adding to the general welfare. If man
has right to own that which be pro-
duces, he must have a right to the cap.
ital which he saves. If he has right
to own 800, he has an equal right to
d 1000 or $1,000,000, go long as he
honestly earns it. 49,.

Place to Keep Honey.

When honey is removed from tho
hive, never place it down cellar. That
is the worst thing you could do, because
there is always more or less moisture in
a cellar. AT first thought one might be
inclined to think this q useless state
,nent, as it has been repeated in various
forms great many times, but it is far
from useless. In fact, writes CORE
spondent Of The American Bee journal,
it is very important. The truth Of tho
matter is that there are great many
who have not learned that it is just as
important to take proper care Of the
honey and put it on the market in first
class condition as it is to use the best
and most economical means of securing
it. One of the essentials of proper care
is keeping the honey in very dry and
warm place. Especially is this true Of
comb honey or extracted honey in open
cans. Honey taints very easily.

IDEAL MUSIC TEACHING.
The Pupil Hears the Music ~ He Reae
1t Before Touching the Keys.

The Pupil Hears the Music ~ He Reads
1t Before Touching tho Keys.
There is ono important point where
most teachers of music stop short. A
piece of music is a poem in tones. Now,
ordinary schooling brings the pupil
where he is able to take the printed
copy of a story or poem i'll his hand and
enjoy it without reading it aloud. With
q stock of books he may enjoy the finest
poems or stories without an audible
sound But music graduates are not
10 fortunate After five or six years OF
study they are able to play at any one
session only the few pieces which they
have recently pracriccd. When new
piece is handed them, they do not know
whether they like it or not until some
one plays it for them or until they have
time to practice it themselves. If Cir
cumstance of this kind occurred in lit
erature in the case Of college gradu-
ate, every body would at once recognize
that there Was something wrong. But in
music this sort Of thing is universal, ex-
CeDt in the case Of those who have start
ed out with the intention Of b. coming
composers and have therefore mastered
musical notation from different stand
point
Thus we come upon two defects which
even the music graduates Of our best
schools rarely overcome. The technic
does not reach point where it will
maintain itself at fair playing point
without practice, and, second, the repre-
sentative faculty is not cultivated to the
point where the student hears his music
as he reads it before his fingers have
touched the keys. The remedy for the
former shortcoming is obvious, says The
Musical World. 1t is more careful and
all around training Of the playing appa-
ratus But the great defect Of all lies in
the second point, and no small part of
the ephemeral fading away of piano
technic is due to the same lack, for tech
MIC is the result of two elements-olear
thinking and muscular f1exibility.
There is no reason why a girl should
lose the latter, and if she has once ac-
quired the clearness of musical concep-
ton her technic will stand by her in
degree which will astonish the average
teacher.
The ability to hear music inside, read
ing it from a printed copy, without any
participation of fingers, is something
which every musician ought to have.
Unless he has this he is ignorant. He
has no foundation and is not educated
in music. He may perhaps be educated
in the keyboard, but not in music, and
it will be found that the Wellesley and
Vassar girl is just rs deficient in this
ability as the average student Of the 1nu-
steal crossroads. Many girls are practio-
ing concertos who probably could not
distinguish major chord from a minor
by ear and could not write the simplest
phrase.

ATTRACTIVE THREEFOLD SCREEN.
novelties in this direction are awaited
with interest. Numbered with new fea-
lures in the ornamentation of screens is
what is known as boselle work. This
consists in coating the frames and part of
the panels in imitation Of carved ivory
with a plastic but quickly hardening
material, which has been nodded in con-
tinuous starlike designs or single bosses.
The second method of decorating frames
or panels consists in fixing gilded, sill
vered or bronzed torchon lace to foun-
dation of colored silk. An attractive
threefold screen, showing decoration by
both methods, is draped with Japanese
red kaja silk in gilded frame, with bo-
selle bosses along the top. A bird and
grape design with metallic lace work be-
low is embroidered on the center panel.
