In the February number of the
American Review Of Reviews the editor
seeks to apply the lessons of our ma
tional failures in the South during the
reconstruction period following the
Civil War to the present problems Of
similar nature in Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the PHILIPPINES. His deductions are
interesting and instructive. He says:
sThe true way to restore the South to
the Union after the var was to restore
the South to its W people," The
same principle applies to day in the
new territories just coming under our
control. The editor warns US against
a new type of "carpet -bagger' who is
threatening to invade Cnba-namely,
the franchise-grabber, A large

A MUSICAL CLUB.
To be Formed in wellington-E Entertain
ing as Well as Instructive.

Within the last few decades there
has been decided change in the atti-
tude of the better class of people to-
ward music. 1t is not now considered
as it once was, the trade of wandering
minstrels who went apout from place
to place, picking up precarious living
But it has been gradually elevated and
perfected though the efforts of noble
minded persons, who have devoted
their lives to it, until it is now regard
ed as one of the, if not the highest art
1t is looked upon as a necessity, and
finds a place everywhere. The home
is not complete without it. All organ
izations need it. No matter what the
event, music is one of the necessities.
1t is the promoter of more happiness
and pleasure than any other art. We
find it studied in some form Or other
all over the world. Yet few know any
thing of its origin and the stages
through which it passed to reach its
present completeness. We hear the
beautiful things played or sung, but
think very little of how we chance to
have them so.
In nearly all the larger cities and
many of the smaller ones clubs have
been organized for the study of music,
either historically or from the differ
ent composers. The instruction is u.s.
ually given in the form of written lee
lures read before the club, interspersed
by recitals to illustrate music in its
different stages Of progress.
We understand that Mrs E. NJ. Ros-
sitter intends to organize and conduct
club of this kind in Wellington to be-
gin course about the middle of Sep
tember. The course is to consist of
series of twelve papers, taking up the
history of music from its origin through
its various stages to the present time.
The course will be divided into periods
of three lectures each. At the end of
each there will be given a recital to
illustrate the music of the period dis
cussed. At the end of the four periods
there will be given a miscellaneous re-
cital taking music from all the periods.
These recitals will be instrumental and
vocal and will we given by first class
talent. Tickets for the course includ-
ing lectures and recitals will be sold
for $500. For all the recitals alone,
$3.50; or so cents for one recital.

THERE has been general uprising OF
citizens against the Mormons in various
parts Of the south. 1t seems that the
number of Mormon elders has been
greatly increased this summer, and
their boldness has caused the people to
do what we consider was the proper
thing-rise up in rebellion. They may
though in true southern style have
carried their opposition to- an extreme.
Within the last two weeks more than
fifty elders have been driven from
communities in which they were teach
ing. President B. E. Rich, who is at
the home of the head of the southern
department of the Mormon Church,
has appealed to Governor Gambler, of
Georgia, for protection against mob
violence in that state.

Items of Interest to wellington Readers

Items of Interest TO Wellington Renders
Prof. W. A. Moulder of Goldey Busi-
ness College, Wilmington, Del, is
spending two months vacation with
his parents at Henrietta. He COM
pleted his business training at 0ber-
lin. His salary is $lO5 per month.
W. G. LeMaster, teller of the Elyria
Savings and Deposit Co., was visitor
at the 0berlin Business College last
Friday. He completed course in
this college seven years ago, at which
time he was recommended TO his pres.
ent position by President Henderson.
Prof, Nieswahgerot the Youngstown
Business College, telephoned Presi-
dent Henderson a few days since for
teacher of Electric Shorthand, for
the coming year, offering 5000 for first
year. One of the advanced students
has been recommended. This is the
system of shorthand that is so rapidly
coming into use by our best stenog-
raphers on account Of its being so easy
to learn, easy to read, easy TO write,
and also because it is capable of great
speed. Students are not obliged to
spend months in lnemorizing 800 to
1000 word signs. 1t is already used in
many of our best Business Colleges.
The Modern School of Shorthand and
Business Training Of Cleveland recent
ly adopted it. The manager of this
school is himself a Graham writer.
A. E. Peat of Norwalk who complet-
ed the shorthand course about two
weeks ago, has already secured fine
position as stenographer for the Erie
Railway Company, Cleveland, where
he receives salary of $50 per month
to begin with. We quote from his let.
ter: my hours are easy but let me
tell you it is all work. get out about
rs to 100 letters, claims, memoranda,
etc. every day, make carbon copies of
each letter besides filing and mailing"
Very few beginners could fill such a
position. Mr.. Peat uses the Electric
System of shorthand. There is no
question but that the graduates of the
Business College at Oberlin are pre-
pared to fill much better class of pos
itions than those of such schools gen.
orally while the rates Of tuition are
even lower than those of other schools.

THE news that Aguinaldo receives
from the United States is meager, but
he hears cough to worry him when he
hears that the troops are sailing by the
shipload, and that the shipments will
not stop until the American army is
not only big enough to take every city
in Luzon, but to hold them all.-Com-
mercial Tribune.

THERE has been a great deal said
about the fatalities in the Philippines.
We notice that a recent paper gives
the total number as 736. Only 80 of
the number were killed in battle or
died from the effect of wounds received
in action. Even those figures may
seem large, still without doubt there
were more than that number of people
killed by accident on the Fourth Of
July last in the United States. And
against the 426 who have died of dis
ease is to be set the number out Of an
army of this size who have died at
home. We regret that it is undoubt-
edly true that large per cent. of the
army has been weakened by privat,ons
and climate, but on the whole we be-
lieve that the losses are less than ever
before known in such a campaign.
