Quite an epoch in the lives of some
young musicians occurred the other night
when Mr.. Butler, the well known pianist
and organist, directed a public recital by
his students. The event was a twofold
surprise, first because Mr., Butler does not
believe much in pupils r%ecitals, inasmuch
as they take the attention off regular study,
and he has heretofore usually given studio
~recltals. in which the pupils played before
each other, the informality OF the affair
being a strong feature. The second sur
prise was the thoroughly professional man
ner In which many OF the numbers were
given, notably those allotted to Miss Urine
Jester, Miss Darlene Buckingham and Mr..
Y. c. Bennett. Miss Ada Jackson was quite
an acceptable pianist in her solo as well as
in the duet with Mr.. Butler. Miss Nina
Shoemaker played with a very musicianly
style and expression.
To enumerate the good qualities OF each
participants would be superfuous. Suffice II
to say that there was not an uninteresting
or unsatisfactory number on the whole
program. 1t was a relief to see a program

DIED WITH THE FIRST DUKE.
Marlborough Claim TO PrinceIy
Rank Is Said to he without
Foundation.

The London Today publishes an ar.
ticle devoted to an argument against
the duke of Marlboroughs claim to
prlncely rank and claiming to correct
the alleged mistake of the American
newspapers on this subject. The writ
er found, he asserts, that the princely
dignity became absolutely extinct at
the death of the first duke of Marl-
borough. Today then says:
"Consuelo must therefore be content
ed with the rank of an English duchess.
The princely crown does not adorn her
brows and the princely crown of the
imperial eagle must be removed from
the dukes escutcheon."
The duke himself has taken the
trouble to inquire into his succession to
the princely rank, it is added, SO he is
probably now aware of the clrcum.

Death of John DuIty,

Mr.. John Dulty, one of the best
known citizens of Marietta, died at his
home, 404 Greene street, Friday a few
minutes after twelve O'Clock. His
death was directly due to pneumonia
with complications, which resulted
from a cold he contracted few days
ago, and came as a sudden shock to his
family and friends. He had suffered
an attack of grip earlier in the winter
but had recovered from that. He was
a veteran of the Civil war, having
served his country for three years, and
sometime within his period of service
he contracted rheumatism, which no
doubt was one Of the causes of death.
Mr.. Dulty was born at GAINESVILLE,
October 20, 1888, being therefore in his
77th year of age. He came to this city
with his family when he was about 30
years old and has ever since resided
here. He was employed by the Nye
Hardware Company for long time in
their manufacturing department, as he
was skilled worker of copper and
sheet iron.
A sad thing in connection with the
death is that it occurred on his we'd
ding day. Friday being the fifty fourth
anniversary of his marriage, His wife
and two daughters are left to mourn
their loss of husband and father.
The funeral will be held Sunday af-
ternoon at two o'clock standard time
at the residence, 4O4 Green street, and
will be in charge of Buell. Post, G. A.
R. Interment will be made in Oak
Grove cemetery

SATURDAY. APRIL 8, 1899.
New Century HistOrica! Society.

The Relic Room was filed Friday
evening by an interested gathering of
folk in honor of Pioneer Day, and to
meet 4drs. Groesbeck and Mrs. Hall,
President and Secretary OF the Society
of Colonial Danes of Ohio.
A paper prepared by Hon. George
M. Woodbridge, on the "Picketed
Point" was read by Mr.. James w.
Nye; and its reading was followed by
the passage of a resolution of the So
ciety to appoint committee to can
vas the matter of marking the spot
early known as "Picketed Point"
Mrs. Groesbeck was called upon to
give an account of the work of the Co
lonial Danes. She told of the general
work of the Society, especially during
the Spanish-American war She also
related instances of the restoration by
the Society of many historic buildings
throughout the country. Mrs. Groes-
beck is a charming woman, and her
presence lent not little to the pleas
ure of the meeting.
Mrs. Dale stated that the old Land
Office" on Washington street, was one
of the objects on which the Colonial
Danes had their eyes; and that it was
hoped that it might be bought soon
and preserved in a manner becoming
its first uses. The Society also desires
to own the old stockade house at the
corner of Second and Washington
streets, belonging to the Nye family
in New York. b,
Before adjournment refreshments
were served and much enioYed.

A SUCCESS
Was the Celebration of Maretta's
One Hundred and Eleventh
Birthday,

A hard rain Friday morning prom
ised to drown out the celebration and
usual ceremonies of Pioneer Day, but
before noon the elements were in a
clarified state so tnat people we're not
in the least prevented from going out.
The business meeting was held the
first thing in the, morning and an Or
ganizal.on was effected as follows:
w. G. Way, President; B. f. Hart,
Vice President; II. B. Shipman, Sec
retNlry; c. H. Newton, Corresponding
Secretary; Executive Committee, w.
d. Devol, r. L. Curtis, T. w. Moore,
w. G. Way, R. L. Nye.
After the bushes meeting a large
audience gathered to hear the address
OF Hon. r. M. Stimson. who had liter
ally and absolutely written "a book for
the occasion. He told us a day or two
ago that 1t would take several pages of
the Leader to clntain the address The
honoraDle speaker only touched on his
topics, we might say. 1t was case of
having too many good things from
which to choose. He related many in
terestlng incidents relating to early
day life. He advised, o,that the new
court house be placed in a part of the
city where business exists.
After Mr.. Simpson had finished two
prize essays were read-one by Miss
Ruth Nichols, of the Academy, another
by Miss Louise Hyde, of Marietta High
School. The ESSAYS were considered
as the best two papers out of ten CON
tributed by scholars of the High
schools of the county and of the Aca-
denny, on a subject relating to local
history. All of the essays contributed
were very good; and will likely at a
future time be published.
The dinner at Power Hall was a tre-
mendous gastronomic diversion. Over
four hundred people sat down to re-
past that required no urging to put un-
der ones vest. 1t was fine and of am
pie proportions for the big crowd
present.
After the dinner there were remin-
iscences and stories told by some of
the elderly ones present.

T. j. Bailey is drilling a well to the

acres adjoining the Myers and will

The well on the Myers farm for Mr.
Hammond and others, was drilled to
the top of the sand last Friday where
operations were checked by the strong
flow of gas which made it unsafe to
continue work with the boiler so near
the well. On Saturday the boiler was
moved back and work was resumed

extends to the east.
The Myers farm is located about two
miles east of here. The company who
drilled in this well have a, block of

The Presldent at Chleaeo

Yesterday, at Chicago, the President
Of tie United States did an unusual
thing, In laying the cornerstone Of the
new federal building. attended by MEM
beers OF his cabinet, 1t must have been
an imposing occasion to the assembled
multitude 1t will be recalled that
some time since, when 1t was first am
nounced that the President would per.
form this function, the question was
raised that there would be protest
from the labor unions, because Presl-
dent Mckinley was not member of a
labor union, and not entitled to serve
in such a capacity.
The absurdlty Of such a proposition
created much comment throughout the
country, for no suca a point in all his
tory had ever been before raised. GUS
tomarily, the matter Of the laying Of a
cornerstone Is conducted by the Ma
sonic fraternity. and the question has
never arisen whether the member Of
the order who performed the function
was a laborer or an employer Of labor.
Here was a building being built by a
great Nation. Its Chief Executive was
to preside, and yet his right to do so
was disputed.
Happily wisdom and discretion finally
prevailed, and the labor leaders WISE
~ Withdrew their objections, and the
President was permitted to perform his
part of the programme. 1t would have
been to the shame of the country. in the
eyes Of the whole world, had the orig
inal intention been carried out. The
country is to be congratulated on the
fact that good sense and Judgment pre-
vailed,
