ANTON JOHNSON of this city received
letter this week from Attorney Je
rome Crate at Hilbert stating that a
young man representing himself to be
John johnson, son of Anton. had call
ed upon him and bargained fer a
| quantity OF woodland agreeing to pay
S2.40O for it. The land was purchased
for Anton aud the parties were to
60 to MaultoWoc the next day to make
the transfer, upon which the sum of
81. 400 was to be paid down and a
| mortgage for the balance given on the
woodward or on brick building
which the pseudo Johnson sad his
father owned. On the strength of the
bargain made he purchased SIS worth
of goods IN store promising to send
the money back with the parties who
were to accompany him to ManItowoc
to make out he deeds. " hen the
| time came for coming to Manitowoc
the counterfeit Johnson did not ap
pear, and 1t was soon after learned he
had skipped on a west bound train.
1t IS needless 20 say John johnson
was not IN Hilbert and made no
bargain. The man who personated
him wore gray coat and red stock
ings. 1t is hardly possible he can
escape.

Spartan "the city will attend to the whole
training OF your children after say the age of
seven" The logic of the Curfew is lust that
4th.-A Curfew law can never be enforced
II the intelligent element of community is
opposed to legislation Of that kind. The
movers OF this measure will say that officers
will be authorized to exercise their discretion
IN executing this law. But this will expose
them to the charge of favoritism and in the
end break down the law and make it dead
letter.
5th.-Such laws are undemocratic. Thew
smack TOO much of paternalism The Ben.
nett law was such law and was killed by
the people. You might as well argue that
II would be good thing for a state Or city
TO reform parents. In fact that would be a
good idea, as it would render unnecessary
the passage ofCurfew laws, or you might 90
BACK little farther and begin the re form

egg. Inc whole thing is nuisance and |
nope there are enough sensible people left
IN the city who can bring pressure sufficient
to bear On the aldermen TO kill such Iepis-

under such law to the Supreme Court for

would suggest as a reform measure that the
cry purchase and provide a proper play
ground IN each ward, or two if necessary,
enclosed and provided with seats, swings,
outdoor symnastic apparatus. Let the par
en's take an interest and make such playing
spots, and show the children that thew t,Le
an interest ir their play. Have pretty city
parks and furnish open air concerts during
evenings of each week. Have a city library
ana furnish reading matter to those who
nave no access to private libraries or not the
means to purchase them.
these seem to me reforms in the right di-
rectlCn. Do not revive the times of Hester
Prynne and The Scarlet Letter, but let them
be buried forever How would it be if some
OF our citizens would give expression to their
views on the subject through the medium of
the Pilot?

Farland inc Banjoist to Appear
 Under Auspices of Greene

It will be of interest to musical lovers to hear that Alfred A. Farland of New York will come to Birmingham this season. appearing here under the auspices of the Creehe, one of the most popular charities in the city. Of Farland recent critic writes
 "Perhaps nothing that has been said of this young genius so tersely and yet so adequately describes his playing as the title, 'Paderewski of the Banjo.' His tech nique is marvellous. But there is something about his playing that is even more to be admired than his execution, wonderful as that is. It is the poetic interpretation of some of the worlds masterpieces the deli cacy of feeling that leads to delicaey of touch and tone, the revelation of fine ar tistic temperament and the ability to touch the heart as well as appeal to the mind, that makes MT. Farland's playing of such a high degree of artistic excellence. To hear him play is to hear music, not merely a succession of manual gymnastics, but music in the highest meaning of the word. Among the most masterly of his renditions were the exquisite Schubert 'Serenade,' the dreamily poetic 'Nocturne' (Op. 9, No. 9 of Chopin. his own variations on The Last Rose of Summer and the 'Valse' (Op. g, No D of Chopin. These numbers were played with a warmth and delicacy of tone, times suggested the violin, again the man. dolin, then the guitar, and sometimes all at once. It is impossible to describe such playing and that such exquisite tones, such power and such feeling could be evoked from the plebeian banjo shows how real an artist and how consummately skill full a player MT. Farland is.'
