MUSICAL NOTES.

Emory L. Bauer, the violinist, left
this city on Wednesday for Coatesville
Pa, where he will join J. II. Gibsons
comedy company as leader of the Or
chesrra and cornet player in the band
the company carrying its own Dand
and orchestra. Mr.. Bauer's many
friends here will be glad to learn OF his
engagement and wish him success.
Gustave Hinrichs, who formerly con-
Quoted the series OF grand opera in the
Philadelphia Academy OF Music, and
who is well-known by all Wilmington
musicians, has been engaged to take
charge OF the operate department OF
the National Conservatory, New York
city.
j. l.. Dashiell. violinist, of this city,
will study with E. a. Brill, OF Philadel-
phia, during the coming season.
Miss Carrie Saring, organist OF Cal
vary p. E. Church, Is taking a we'll
carmel vacation in the country.
His holiness the pope, has DIS
covered that the violin is sen
sual 5nd profane instrument. | hope
our local violinists will not be discour-
aged in their practice of this beautliul
instrument on account of this discoV-
cry. We would like to know what in
struments are capable of revealing the
divine power of music TO better advan'
tage than the violin. Surely such harsf
and blatant wind instruments as the
cornar. trombone and other heavier in
struments are not the proper kind t'
inculcate reverence in the ordinary
subject. It is said that Nero fiddle'
while Rome was burning. Probabl!
the recollection Of this incident ha
prejudiced the pope. But, as the othe
denominational churches are becoming
broader in their views, it is likely tina
the musicians who lose by this decree
will gain in other ways by finding EN-
ployment in the place of worship o
their Protestant brethren.

PORTLAND GIRL KIDNAPPED.

Maze Companion 0n6 Held for
Three Days.

PORTLAND, Or, June 12.-Miss Adele
Ferron, an enthusiastic 18-year-old BIZ
cyciist living on Nineteenth street, be-
tween Everett and Flanders, went out
wheeling on Monday evening last. From
that time until Thursday evening no trace
OF Miss Ferron or her unknown COM
panion could be found.
Michael Brannon, fancher on the Mil
waukee road, on Thursday evening sought
the young woman's home He said that
between l and o'clock Tuesday morning
he was awakened by party of men, who
demand ID that he take charge Of a young
woman hurt in bicy ycle accident. There
were three men in the wagon that brought
the party to the house. One. lying in the
bed OF the vehicle, cried out:
For Gods sake. help me. These fel-
lows are kidnapers They have kidnap ped
the girl, and God only knows what they
iaIend doing with me-"
The young woman tells a story of pe-
culiar adventure; and, to darken the mys-
terry, she hatly refuses 10 divulge the
name OF her companion on the late noe
turnal ride. She says that on their re-
turn trip they were met by two men in a
small express wagon, one of whom ex-
claimed. That's him! The drivers
were -ery rude and seemingly indifferent
TO what they did, Tor they ran their horse
into her bicycle, while one of them lea ped
from the wagon and with the butt of a
revolver Knocked her companion over the
head. Her collision with he horseun.
seated her, and she fell he avily uponher
head, rendering her unconscious for the
greater part of two days. However, she
did net lose her senses until he excite
menU of the occasion had worn away.
"They bound my companion" she
says, hand anu foot and threw him and
his wheel into the wagon. Why they
took me and my wheel with them I'm al
a loss TO explain; and what mystifies me
more than all is that they should have
driven me to the old farmers house with
warning not to leave it for three days al
least"

NO MORE SUNDAY PAPERS.
CcHada's Parliament Passes Law
Against Sabbath Editions of
fha lnIIiec

VANCOUVER, 3. c., June 12.-The
Canadian Parliament has passed a bill,
which the publication of a Sunday paper
is penalized in $50 for the first offense and
800 for each subsequent one. Other pen
aities are enforced on the sale of Sunday
papers by newsvenders and boys. The
act aims at the limitation of Sunday
labor.
There are no seven-day papers publ she'd
in Canada, and those which appear on
Sunday morning are not issued on Mon
day. Hence the result Of the change will,
as regards Canadian newspaper men en-
gagged on dailles that now Issue a Sunday
paper, be that instead of working ONLY a
short time during the small hours of very
early N orning on Sundays they will have
TO toll all through the Sabbath afternoon
and evening. British Colum bia is chiefly
affected by the change, as here moreathan
elsewhere In Canada is it a custom TO
print Sunday pap-r in lie of a NJ oflday
morning paper. The Vancouver News
Advertiser and Victoria Colonist are both
affected by this change, which each
angTiiy but vainly denOunces.
The bill for suppressing klnetoscope and
press reports OF priZe-hghts has already
passed the Canadian Senate, but NAV
through shoItneSs of time during the re-
mainder OF the session fail 10 pass the
House OF Com mons and become law this
year, as some sporting mem bers will block
the bill. The bill will pass next year, any
way, if Canada's legislators continue in
their present mood.

PHGNIX, ARIz., June 12.-The paren-
and the kindly concern it manifests in
the welfare of its citizens when abroad
especially its old soldiers-is well illus
trated in the circumstances surrounding
the second trial of Henry Scholz at Pres
cctt charged with murder. The crime
for which Scholz is to be retired is the
killing Of mau along the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad more than two years ago.
The evidence againCt him was wholly cir
cums;antial but of sufficient force TO re-
suit in his conviction. He was sentenced
10 be hanged, hut the supreme Court gave
him new trial. At his first trial ScholZ
was rather perfunctorllY de efended, but al
his second trial, which Is soon to take
place. ne will be defended by Judge w.
II. Barnes of Tucson, one of the ablest
and most famous attorneys in the South
vest.
And the War Department of t Ger
man Governm ent is paying the fees OF this
high-priced lawyer. Recently Judge Barnes
received, through the German Consul It
San Francisco, a letter from the German
War Office requesting his rv.ce in de-
tense of SchoIz. The letter inclosed a
handsome fee and stated that Scholz had
been for ten years soldier n the German
army and that he had been honorablv
discharged The War Office did not pre-
tend TO be informed as to his guilt or IN
nocence, the letter said. 1t only desired
that he be accorded all his rights, for be
had earned the good will of Germany.
The fee inclosed in the letter was not for
freeing the man. The War Office did not
want him acquitted if guilty, but it be-
lieved that he should have all the advan-
tages of a skilltully and conscientiously
conducted defense, so that if he we're inno-
cent there would be no danger of his be-
ing wrongfully punished.
Judge Barnes returned from Prescott
last evening, where he had been TO con-
suit his new client and be present at his
arraignment. He says the letter and the
fee from the German War Office were a
complete surprise to him, as he had not
been interested In the case before.
Il is suggested that another nation
would probably have attem pied to man
age such an affair through the Depart
ment OF State. Judge Barnes is OF the
opinion that the United States itself
would have adopted the latter policy, and
before the negotiations were concluded
the subject of the exchange OF interna-
tiOnal courtesies would be hanged or ac-
quilted without the aid.of his Government.
