A PATRIOTIC CONCERT
AT SIMPSON TABERNACLE LAST
EVENING
Closes the Exercises of the Day.
Judge Allen Presided-Vocal
and instrumental Music

Nearly everybody that didn't go to the
banquet last night went to Westlake
park, but there were a few hundreds
who finished up their Fourth at Simp-
nounced. The ediice was decorated
with flags and palms, and the Mexican
Philharmonic band played tuneful in
vitation on the sidewalk while the audi
ence was assembling.
Once inside the same band played
Schubert's "Serenade" and two other
selections, which would have been very
enjoyable If the musicians hadn't mis-
taken the tabernacle for ten-acre lot
every few bars and if two or three of the
instruments had been tuned to the same
Key However, these are minor dis
crepancies, and the rest of the concert
was delightful.
Judge M T. Allen was on the pro-
gram as president of the evening. For
tunately the judge is so we'll known
that he needed no one to introduce him,
and he entered alone and proceeded to
his opening remarks with the statement
that he believed it was customary for
the president of an eventing to thank
the committee who had invited him to
preside; and he (Judge Allen) should be
charmed to thank the literary commit
tee, to whom he was indebted for the
courtesy, but as not one of them was
present he must ask the audience to do
that for him when they next saw any
one of that committee. The judge then
said he was not going to make a speech,
that people could get surfeit even of
oratory, and that he believed the grand
acts of the heroic founders of this glor-
ious nation could be told as we'll in song
and story, so he would introduce Miss
Estelle c. Heartt, who would sing
Loves Recall" by Frederick Steven
con. The graceful little song is quite
within the range of her beautifully mel
low and musical middle notes, and Miss
Heartt sang it SO delightfully."- that she
was insistently recalled ,and she sang
Molloy's ooh, the Pity O. 1t" as an en-
core.
Miss Angela Anderson next read LIB
erty Bell" Miss Anderson displayed a
sweet, well-modulated voice, clean die
ton, and she, too, won a deserved en-
core, to which she responded with Jane
Jones'"
c. S. Cornell gave a dramatic spirited
reading of Schumann's, 1.-THE Grena-
diers," and his voice shows little effect of
his recent illness. AS an encore Mr..
Cornell sang Wallaces "The Sword of
Bunker Hill"
To all of these songs Miss Mary L.
O'Donoghue played delightful sympa-
thetic accompaniments.
The Amphion quartet brought down
the house with their patriotic rendition
Of 1.-THE Flag Without Stain," and
were obliged to sing an encore.

SANTA ANA

SANTA ANA, July 5.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) In response to call issued by
the public library trustees eight applica-
tions have been received for the position OF
librarian. Mrs. Della Kernodle, who has
served in that capacity ever since the in
stitution was established, is an applicant
for reelection, and her candidacy is strong
ly endorsed in a petition signed by a large
number of taxpayers. but from published
interviews with members of the board, it
is evident that she will meet with strenu-
Gus opposition. A breach of harmony be-
tween the trustees and the librarian oc-
CURED some time ago, but open hostilities
were not begun until the recent action
of the board, by which the librarians s sal
ary was scaled down $40 per month At that
time Mrs. Kernodle's friends declared that
the reduction was only the preliminary
step in a scheme to oust her, and that in
stead of taking this action in the inter-
ests of economy, the real purpose was to
induce her to resign. And since motion
was passed inviting applications for the
place. they have been all the more ve-
hement In declaring that conspiracy ex-
lists and all the more active in their efforts
to secure the lady's reelection. In the
face of such strong opposition it is doubt
full whether the trustees will remove Mrs
kernodle. but If they do her friends say they
will have reckoning and promise the
public a chapter of more exciting interest
than is contained in the library litera-
ture.
The position of librarian has salary of
$50 per month attached, but the trustees
say that If person of proper training and
experience can be secured they are willing
to pay more.

clared themselves unalterably opposed to
| The purchase of any lot on which there
are any buildings that would add mate
rally to the cost of the property. Super
visor Thompson is not opposed to the
purchase of a lot containing buildings that
could be used for a court house, but has
declared he will have nothing what ever to
| do with any proposition involving COM
missions and go-betweens. He has inti-
mated very plainly that he believes there

pervisor Shaver's claim is that the pur-
chase of the Arlington is the best thing

offer to release it for less than $500 a
year, which Mr.. Shaver thinks would be
more expensive than buying it at s5s,OO0.

pense of few thousand dollars, the en-
gine room converted into Jail by the
putting therein of steel cells, and so pro-
vide the county with court house and jail
| ample and suitable for all purposes for
ten or twenty years. Strenuous objec-
| tions to this plan are made by most of the
citizens of Riverside, regardless of party
affiliations, on grounds of general unsuita-
| bleness and impracticability. Supervi-
sor Shaver says the country districts are
unanimously in favor of his plan and that
| the objection to 1t in Riverside is solely
due to the Republican ring" which wants
to put off the purchase of court house
site until they are again in power, when
| they will cinch the taxpayers to the tune
of a quarter or half a million dollars. The
| air is full of petitions and statements and
memorials and all sorts of misrepresenta-
ton and improper influences are charged

Governors Son MarrieS a
l2-Year-Old Girl.
Groom Has Only Turned Sew
enteenth Mile Stone.
Both Under Arrest by Order of the
Boys Father, Gov. Atkinson.

Rome, Ga, April 3.-John u. Atkinson
II years DID, IA son of Governor Atkinson,
and Ada Byrd, little girl not more than
IL years old, were married by a magis-
tratc near this city yesterday and ON their
bridal trip were arrested by order of tho
governor, and are now held rs prisoners
in the Armstrong Hotel.
The story leading up TO this situation is
one of romantic interest. Atkinson has
been acting as confidential clerk for his
father in the governors office, in Atlanta.
Near the executive mansion there lives the
family of Charles II. Byrd, publisher,
one of whom is littlc Ada the child wife,
who Is now in custody here. The couple
were mutually attracted, and the infat-
uation was such that several weeks ago
their parents took steps TO keep them
apart.
The little girl was sent TO country
school,, the location OF which was sup.
posed To be unknown To young Atkinson,
but somehow he discovered this and yes
terday went there He found the girl,
made an engagement to meet her, and
going 10 Kingston they found magis-
trate who performed the ceremony, after
which they came To Rome, only To be
arrested and detained.
Ii seems that the governor, upon be-
coming aware of the eOpcment. had tel
egraphed in all directions to officers To
watch out for the young couple, offering
n reward of 800 for their detention. The
young man seems crestfallen that his love
affair should have been so rudely inter-
fered WITH and declares his undying
devotion To his child bride. The governor
in the meantime has taken steps - have
the marriage annulled.
The young brides mother who Is now
living in New York, was divorced from
her husband several weeks ago. She had
married at the age of 13, and her mother
before her, Mrs. Mary j.. Bryan, well
known as the author of many sentimental
novels and stories had married at the
age of II. The little girls father has
married again, and his mother-in-law
entered suit last week for divorce from
her husband, Thomas j. Lyons, a poll
tician.
When called upon young Atkinson
talked freely.
Il left word at home" said he, THAT
/ was going To South Georgia, so as to
throw my mother off the track. Inst cad
j went to where Ada was, and after n good
deal of trouble succeeded in getting an in
torview with her. She agreed To meet me
and it made my heart jump when at the
appointed time i saw she was true to her
promise.
- Then we hurried to magistrate, he
not knowing who l was, and were soon
married. Now that she is my wife l will
not be torn from her by all the governors
in the land, for life without Ada would be
blank, and could not think of living
without her sweet smiles. / know that
am only seventeen and she is twelve, but
that is our business and nobody else's.
Governor Atkinson reached the city last
evening, and is now in consultation with
his son. He has declared his purpose TO
keep him imprisoned until he is of age If
necessary, to break off this alliance.
