kNABE PIANO

Best in the world. The New York
Sun of Nov. 10. 1895, says:
The soloist of yesterdays concert
was Leopold Godowsky, pianist Of
great merit. In manner and feeling he
is very simple. sincere and modest: in
the setting forth of his artistic abil-
tiles he seems bound by the highest and
best methods. Godowsky is most re-
liable and agreeable player, one who
gains more and more fully every mo-
mcnt the confidence and sympathy of
his audience. His rendering of the Saint
Saens Concerto in q minor-On piano,
it may justly be said. of which the tone
was delightful-madc a charming in
tcrlude between the orchestral pieces"
Godowsky used the knabe Piano.

Farewell Given the Boys When The

Farewell Given the Boys When They
started for Camp.
The departure Of the National Guard
for Island Lake was the occasion for
an unparalleled outburst of patriotism
on the part OF the people of Michigan.
Every company was given a farewell
which must have made a lasting i'm
preston upon the soldiers. AT each
city where a company was located
there was most enthusiastic demon
stration. All business was suspended.
the schools were closed and practically
the entire population, augmented by the
population for miles around poured out
to say farewell to the departing SOL
diers In every instance the farewell
was marked by an impressiveness that
was evidence that everyone keenly APP
preciated the gravity of the situation.
Seriousness pervaded all the exercises,
and while the soldiers were given a
hearty Godspeed there was a lack of
boisterousness and hilarity. At every
stop along the route to the camp the
soldiers were greeted by thousands Of
citizens, who cheered them on their
way.
An idea of the patriotic response
made to the governors camp order may
be found in the fact that the muster
roll completed the second day after the
encampment commenced showed 3,4S1
men present According to the report
of Captain Cornelius Gardener United
States inspector, made to the war de-
partment last October. the authorized
strength of the Michigan National
Guard is 1929 men. and the organized
strength 1856 men. No sooner had the
necessity for men become apparent than
every company in the brigade was over
whelmed with applications for enlist
ment, and in less than twenty -four
hours each was recruited up to its full
authorized strength, and with but a lit
tie effort each could have taken to
camp the $50 men TO which the member
ship may be increased by the governors
order in case Of war
Under the presidents call for 125. 600
men Michigan's quota will be four regi-
ments of twelve companies each Each
regiment Is to contain a maximum Of
1,026 field, STAFF, non-commissioned star
company officers and enlisted men. and
each company to contain maximum
of three officers and 81 non-commis-
stoned officers and privates. This ar
rangement has put a hard task upon
COMMANDMENTS Chief Pingree and the
state military board. The act passed
at the recent special session of the leg
islature gave the governor full author
fly to reorganize the troops to conform
TO the regular army formations. or as
the president or war department may
call for them. The task will be to re-
organize the four regiments and two
independent battaIions of the brigade
into four regiments. The governor hav-
ing secured the detailing OF Captain
Cornelius Gardener of the Nineteenth
United States infantry as colonel of the
Fourth regiment, which had been divid-
