Feb. 25.-Washington's birthday was
 observed here this year with pleasure
 to all who love to hear songs of praise
 of country, and speeches. Little chill | dren helped the good time in the after
 noon, and there were four hundred and more children from our schools. The town hall is a good place and conven- tent, and here the flag of our country
 was displayed. Each child has a pres
 ent now to keep in mind what took
 place. This card gave them the privi- lege of being at the hall, and so that the flag will be thought of there is one printed on the card. There should have been many people on the streets in the afternoon to see the children go in and to welcome them when they come out
 The exercises were in charge of Unity council, No. Il, O. U. A. M.

C.. and solo by Mrs. Steadman, wife of Dr. w. c. Steadman. There were more speeches and there were others there who were willing to make addi- tional speeches who may be called upon at the next anniversary of this day which our nation likes to keep in the public mind.

OVERTURE "NA7URE,,
To be Played at the Ysaye Concert

10 De EIayeu at the Y save Concert.
 Mature" is the first of the overtures which the composer, Antonin Dvorak
 born September 8, 1S41, at Muchlhausen
 near Kralup Bohemia, now entities
 collectively "Overture iTIrilogy," and
 which were performed for the first time
 at a concert given on October i, 1892
 for the purpose of publicly signalizine
 the entrance of Dr. Dvorak on his activ-
 ity in New York. The other two over-
 lures of the group are named Life" and Love" (Othello). The composer has striven in Mature" to give an ex- pression to thoughts and emotions which are awakened in him when on a solitary walk through meadows and woods in summer time he is brought in- to close and undisturbed communion with nature. Through fields and forest the wanderer rambles yielding gladly to the changing moods as they come and go with the ever varying scenes of the landscape. The rustling of the tree-tops. the signing of the wind, the babbling of the brook, those indescribably sounds which combine in natures concert. lull the senses into that restful state which gives free sway to the imagination and conjures up happy day dreams. The recollection of the irksome realities of life sink into slumber. That perfect peace of mind results which can be found only in nature untouched by the hustle and noise which accompany the efforts of man in the pursuit of his vacations, The composer has not at tempted to initiate in tones the Ian guage of the birds or to represent the which one can observe with the senses but has in true accord with the office of music given expression to the moods which are the result of na- lures influence on the impressionable and sensitive temperament. As night approaches and the shadows deepen village must not be far off, for the sound of a church bell is heard. Faint ly it reaches the wanderers ear, and far from disturbing the quiet of even ing it heightens the feeling of happy solitude and contentment which nature has created in him.
