MUSICAL MENTION,

The HaXenoNv Stril1
Quartet.
The next best thing to a permane
grand orchestra in city is a pei name
string quartet. For the smaller wor
OF the great masters. especially Of t
composers who adhered to strict clas
cal form, are not always the wtake
works. Many of the most prvfoul
ideas of Beethoven are contained in d
smaller art forms. Many of the mo
spontaneous and lovely melodies of Sch
bert are found in the writings for stril
quartet and for strings with few 9th
instruments. OF course the grand G
chestra, besides the strings, has also
wood wind quartet, and the brasses gi
sorority and tone color, but pers 'nally
have often enjoyed the b autiful fini.
and unanimity of artistic purpose in Il
playing of the Kneisel String Quartet
much as | have enj yed the greater VI
ume of tone of the Postcn Sympho,
Orchestra. There is the de'icacy and
sparkle of the diamond in their in
depreciation rather than the architec-
tural massiveness of work performed
by full orchestra who shall s y
that the result is less an artistic tri-
umph? In educating the taste of the
public in small city where there is
no permanent orches ra and but few
regular musical performances of high
class. the value o: capable string
quartet can hardly be overestimated.
Nevertheless in this sm Ill western
city We have had for the past few
years Ser GUS, capable and artistic
performances of the best music for
string quarte'. ] say we have had and
have a capable string quartet, but the
lack of financial support and encour-
agement has made the maintenance
Of this organization labor of love, a
genuine missionary effort in behalf Of
the advancement of art which must
very often have b, en- a sou ce of
much encouragement to the players.
Il few words in regard 10 the history
Of the Hagenow String Quartet may
not be amiss.
In the spring Of the year 1889 few
musicians we're in the habit of meet
ing from time to time to spend a
musical evening in the practice Of
string quartets and other music.
From the embryo Was developed the
Hagenow st ing Quartet. consisti' g
at that time of Mr.. August Hagenow,
list violin, Charles Hagenow, End vio-
lin, Mr.. j. G. Sayer, viola, and DIR.
George E. Andrews, cello. At the
time the quartet was organized pub
lie appearances were hardly thought
of, the only object being the pleasure
derived from the ensemble pIayin,
Occasionally musical friends were il
vited in to hear the progressive develop
ment of the little band, and at their sus
gestion first public appearance wa
made in the Congregational church a
the May Festival OF 1889. At this cor
cert, owing to the severe illness of d.
Andrews, Mr.. Heyn of Omaha took tn
cello part in the quartet. At the recov
cry of DR.. Andrews, the original person
nell of the quartet was retained until tn
fall of 1892, when lhar.es Hagenoy
went to Chicago to study. This youn
mans success as violinist since his re
turn last winner is well known to Lin
con. At tie time of his departore tn

SCHOOL ELECTION.

Another school election approach
cs and, while some changes have
been made by the Board of Educa-
ton, yet we fail to observe the
amount of clash attending, that u.s.
ually precedes these elections. We
believe in finances, the present beard
HIS been very successful, and in the
selection of instructors have met
requirements pretty efectually, at
least so closely as to cause but lit
tie, if any dissatisfaction. 1t is that
particular branch of public service
which pays nothing and yet demands
to the very utmost extent, the ser.
vices and attention of Sour best
thinkers, most careful, prudent and
intelligent citizens. There should
be no crossing the line on that.
Public good, the welfare Of the COM
munity and the proper culture of
the boys and girls are entitled, nay,
require, the best care of the best
men to be had. So when voting,
think when you cast your ballot.

The new Camden sutton Of tie B.
& O. Railroad ia Baltimore was
opened for business Sunday. 1t is
practically an extension oi the old
Camden station which was built in
1851 ard which for 40 years has
been the principal passenger depot
of the B. & o., in that city This
shed is constructed alongside of the
cut that leads to the south portal Of
the Baltimore Belt Tunnel aud in
the center of this cut has been erect
cd train shed $50 feet long ard AZ
feet wide for the exclusive use Of
the Royal Blue Line trains between
Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York. These trains
have hitherto backed in and out OF
Camden station, but under the new
arrangement will make but one stop
at Camden. The passenger trains
will be pulled through the tunnel by
the 95 ton electric motors thus elm
mating entirely smoke from that
tunnel. New waiting rooms, res
taurant, ticket offices, etc, have been
constructed. The improvement cost
in the neighborhood of 100000.

FREE POSTAL DELIYERY.

There is one thing about which
the Statesman and the INDEPENDENT
can heartily agree. That is, the free
postal delivery system for Martins
burg. We never could understand
why representatives could so solid.
Is overlook the growth, ana there
fore necessary increasing business
wants for a city of its population
and varied industries, and at the
sama time, grant or obtain all such
things for smaller, though possibly
very deserving towne. II may be
that some people, and especially
the Postmaster have failed to press
these matters with the vigor that
brings SUCCESS. Let all hands take
hold and have full faith that in a
very short time that this boon will
be ia operation.

The Book Of the Royal Blue.

The Book CT the Royal Blue,'
issued by the Passenger Depart

R., has made its initial appearance
With the October number, and is,
undoubtedly, the most creditable
magazine of its nature published.
Aside from being a model example
OF modern Typography, it is most in
teresting as to its contents. A field
for interesting literature is certainly
offered by the Baltimore and Ohio
r. r., because it is the oldest rail-
way in the United States is fore
most in historical prominence, and
is rich in magnificent scenery. The
latter especially affords an endless
scope for illustrations, and the
magazine has started on its venture
with all these points full in hand.

THE CIsNERos, ESCAPE.

Miss Cisneros, Weyler's beautiful
Cuban captive, so long confined to
Spanish dungeons in HAVANA, is
now in New York City. Her incar-
eeration had become the subject Of
International investigation, and her
liberty the subject of faithful and per-
sistent efforts on the part of the Ia
dies OF civilized governments.
Strange to say, that three New York
journalists, with their skill, strategy
and nerve, as characteristic OF them
planned and executed her escape
frcm Spanish bars and from the muz-
zle of Spanish guns. 1t was a mat
ter of nerve They had it, used it,
and it is great pity that that they
couldn't infuse, such chivalry With
the Cuban army.

genuine and instituted at the dictation
of Judge Camden. She denied that she
had any interest whatever in the Owens
land or that Owens had at any time
paid her money or any other thing of
value. The cross examination was con-
Quoted by Robert C. Linn for the state,
and was very rigid.
Mrs. Atkinson's demeanor on the wit
ness stand was modest and unassum-
ing. She. made favorable impression.
After the adjournment of court the
defendant refused to talk, but Governor
Atkinson gave a statement for the
press, in which he said:
1.-THE prosecution was actuated by
malice. am of the opinion that sew
sral witnesses, indeed all the real tes-
tInony upon which the case hinged,
had been induced to testify for a con-
sideration. I am thoroughly convinced
that two or more of them were pur-
chased. All fair minded people could
see clearly that Camden Sommers,
grandson Of the late G. D. Camden,
was at the bottom of and instigator of
this procedure. Soon after Judge Cam
den married my present wife Mr.. SOM
merS and others started out on career
of persecution by anonymous letters
and newspaper stories. Indeed, prior
to Mrs. Atkinson's marriage to Cam
den she was annoyed with an anony-
nous letter warning her not to marry
Camden.
Furthermore, when the will of Judge
Camden was about to be probated she
received various letters threatening
newspaper publication unless a large
sum of money was paid, in which case
it was promised nothing would be said
or published relative to her. Prior to
her marriage to me a similar anony-
nous letter was sent her threatening
newspaper notoriety. The man who
inspired all these publications is Well
known to be Camden Sommers, the
aforesaid grandson of Judge Camden,
upon whose testimony the indictment
against Mrs. Atkinson was solely
founded, and who appeared as the
principal prosecuting witness in this
case
In my unbiased judgment Mrs. At
kinson is guilty of no crime whatever,
most certainly not the crime of aiding
and abettfng in uttering the forged
papers charged against her in the in
dictment. Evidence in this trial showed
that Camden Sommers proposed to the
attorneys of Joshua Owens that if he
would testify against Mrs. Atkinson
nothing would be done with Owens, and
that he would not have to pay for his
land,which they claimed he had not paid
for. All l have to say in conclusion is
that the whole thing from beginning
to end is worked up to injure my wife
and humiliate me-"
