Prof. Daniel Protheroe and wife, of
Milwaukee. wis, are the guests Of Mr..
and Mrs. Job Harris, of Eynon street,
Mrs. Protheroe's parents.
Prof. Protheroe left here some years
ago for Milwaukee and since he has
taken up his residence in that city
has been rapidly forging ahead. Re-
cent advices from the western city
tell of Prof. Protheroe's success. He
has lately been elected leader of the
Arion Glee club one of the best musi-
cal organizations in the west. Mr..
Protheroe after establishing himself in
Milwaukee organized the famous Lyric
Glee club.
The Milwaukee Sentinel of July 10
has the following to say:
AT a meeting of the Arion's last
evening Daniel Protheroe was unani-
mously elected conductor and, so far
as the public is concerned, the Lyric
club, Of which Mr.. Protheroe has been
conductor, and the Arions are con-
solidated into one musical society.
Each organization, however, will be
maintained for other purposes than
for giving public musical entertain
ments. This arrangement has been
endorsed by both the Arions and the
members Of the Lyric Glee club.
Daniel Protheroe, who has been
elected conductor of the Arions, has
been a resident of Milwaukee since
October 1894, when he came here from
Scranton, Pa. He was born at
Ystradgyulais. South Wales, and early
developed a talent for music. In his
native land as child of years Of
age he won several prizes at the Welsh
singing festivals. Later he studied
vocal music and piano playing with
DIR. Joseph Parry, Dytud Lewys and
Parson Price and composition and or
chestration with Dudley Buck. He
has a senior honor certificate from
Trinity college, London, England, as
sociate of the Society of Science, Let
ters and Art, London, and a musical
bachelor of Toronto university, TorOn-
to, Canada. He came to the United
States in 1866 and located in Scranton,
Pa, where he taught singing and con-
| Quoted the Cymrodorian Choral society
for eight years, coming thence to this
! city. He is the conductor Of the Lyric
society of Sheboygan. Wisconsin. He
is not only an excellent conductor
singer and teacher, but
full composer, his works including can
tatas for solo, chorus and orchestra, a
mass, chorus and songs"

As result of the failure to pave
North Main avenue. that thoroughfare
is now in an abominable condition. No
one suffers from this wretched condl-
tion OF affairs more than do wheelmen
Oftentimes to escape the mud puddles,
stones and other distractions, they
have ridden upon the sidewalks. In ac-
cordance with their instructions, the
police have frequently arrested these
violators of the city ordinance and
taken them before the alderman to be
fined
The ,wheelmen have enlisted the sym
pathies of many of the residents Of
Main avenue who fail to see the justice
in the city calling for rigid enforce
ment of this ordinance while the street
is in such a condition, owing to the
failure of a paving company to fill it's
contract other than to distribute curb
stones in the cutters of the street. al
though the time for the completion of
the pave is now past.
