ORGAN RECITAL

Irwin j. Morgan, Mus. Bac., will give
an Organ Recital in Forest Presbyterian
Church on Thursday evening, November
10th, at 8 o'clock. The admission will
be free, but silver offering will be taken
during the evening to defray expenses.
The following account Of Professor Nor
gan's musical career will be read with
great interest. Unmistakable talent was
shown by him when only four years OF
age. At five years, he played any COM
position his small hands could master,
Immediately after. hearing it for the first
time. From six to nine years, he was
placed under instructions, and at the age
of ten he played upon the pipe organ in
such a masterful style, though hardly
able to reach the pedals, that he was
chosen to be organist Of one of the Epis-
copal churches of Philadelphia. His
natural ability in this position astonished
every one who heard him and he has
been uninterruptedly before the public
from that time. His musical studies
have been pursued both here and abroad
under the best masters, DR.. Frederick
Bridge, organist of Westminster Abbey,
being his last instructor. He has per-
formed in Westminster Abbey and many
other notable cathedrals abroad giving
organ concerts through France and Eng
land, and many parts of Canada and
America. He was graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania, at which
institution he was organist and choir
master for four years. He composed a.
half dozen hymn tunes published in the
new Presbyterian Hymnal. He was with
DR.. Wood, in Germantown, and is now
at his church at Twenty-frst and Walnut
streets, Philadelphia, where the music is
of high order. Prof. Morgan performs
over one thousand compositions from
memory.
Miss Carrie A. Gehmann, Vcontralto and
violinist, of Philadelphia, will assist in
the program. Miss Gehmann possesses a
most exceptional voice, and sings with rare
taste. A special feature of the program
will be a contralto solo very recently
composed by professor Morgan, Mus.
Bac., which has already produced pro-
found impression upon Philadelphia
audiences. Miss Gehmann will also be
heard in violin solo. The people of
Middletown and vicinity may expect q
rare treat, throughout the entire pro-
gram.

Signs of Treachery.

In the latter part Of May another group
of representatives came from the lnsurgent
leader. The whole matter was fully dis
cussed with them and promise Of acceptance
seemed near at hand. They assured our
commissioners they would return after ceu-
sulting with their leader, but they never did.
As result of the views expressed by the
first Tagalog representative favorable to the
plan of the commission, 1t appears that he
was, by military order of the insurgent
leader, stripped Of his shoulder straps DIS
missed from the army and sentenced to
twelve years Imprisonment.
The views Of the commission are best set
forth In their own words:

we are now engaged was unavoidable by us.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR M'KINLEY

y
land my Maryland.
At the outstart of the campaign in
Maryland conservative estimate of
the vote at the November election
places the majority of Mr.. Mckinley.
at $4,000, with every prospect that
the figure will be even larger.
That his majority is not estimated
at a greater figure is due to the fact
that the Democrats have all the Off
ces in Baltimore and the state. The
incumbents of these should bring a
large vote to the support of the tick
ct. In addition, they have the ma
chinery. This is in marked contrast
to the situation four years ago when
Mr.. Mckinley carried the state by
over 30, 900 majority. Then the Dem
ocrats were without the offices, with
out the election machinery, and
without an organization. They had
been overwhelmingly defeated the
year before, and the presidential
campaign found them thoroughly
demoralized.
The Republicans then had all the
offices, the election machinery, and
the best organization they had ever
constructed in this state. The cleo
ton machinery has slipped from their
grasp, but they have a compact and
well-drilled organization. Still, a
majority of 5000 is just as good for
all practical purposes as 10000, as far
as placing Maryland in the Mckinley
column is concerned.
That Mr.. Mckinley will sweep the
state from the mountains to the
ocean, and that he will be elected
by such majority that free silver
and some of the un-American issues
on the Populistic platform will be
buried even beyond earshot of Cab
riels awakening trumpet, are wishes
of many sincere Democrats in Mary
land, for with the defeat of the Pop
ulists, who are masking in the guise
of Democrats, they realize that they
will be in position to steer their party
back into its proper course, and that,
above all, they will be in position to
continue in control in the state.
AS Maryland goes this year, so will
Maryland go next year.

is carried on to the end and discharg-
ed. The work being fairly under
way before Senator Ravenscroft left
he is very much encouraged as to the
by the party. Although they had
not made a cleanup" that day in
dications for the success of the party
were of such nature that it is almost
insured.
The reports in the daily newspa-
pers of the serious outbreak of small
pox and typhoid fever among the
miners at Nome are greatly exagger-
ated. But one death has occurred as
a result of the small pox and there
were confined in the pest house Al
patients suffering in mild form from
the disease. AS would be the case in
a city with improper drainage and
sanitary arrangements so it is at
Nome, where thousands of men are

of riches and as a result disease has
broken out among them. The Gar
rett county contingent is located at a
distance from any other great body
of men and the chances are that they
will enjoy good health during their
stay. They have erected two tents
and a house, having purchased the
latter at Seattle, Wash, on the way
up. With the protection thus afford
ed and with sufficient healthful pro-
visions in store they are well con-
tented.
On the way down the coast from
Nome Senator Ravenscroft visited a
mining town called Topkuk, where a
number of persons from Mckeesport,
Pa, have located. One of the men in
the party in ten hours took out $3.50
in gold, and it is thought by the party
that in the fall when they return at
least $4,000 will be brought back by
each member.
The distance travelled by rail, boat
horseback and walking by Senator
Ravenscroft in his trip to the north
and return was nearly 1000 miles.

1t is understood that Mr.. w. d.
Young, the electrical engineer of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, said the
Baltimore and Ohio is contemplating
the application of electrical motors
on eighty miles of the toughest road
on the system, the Third section, be-
tween this city and Grafton. Mr..
Young claims that electricity can be
used about as cheap as steam with a
great many advantages over steam,
being noiseless and cleaner. He
bases his belief on the successful use
of electric motors in the Belt Line
tunnel in Baltimore for the past five
years. 1t is probable an experiment
will soon be tried on one of the heavy
grades on the Third section and, if
successful, will be applied more ex-
tensively. The plan of adopting
electric motors as helpers on the II
mile grade was mentioned in THE
REPUBLICAN last December, but
since that time nothing more has
been heard of until the past few
days.

Mason 4 DixOn,S Line.

The estimated cost of the resurvey
to be made conformity by Maryland
and Pennsylvania of the historic
Mason & Dixon's line and the restora-
ton of the boundary monuments
which originally stood one mile apart,
is $4,000. Each state has appro-
priated $4,000 with which to meet the
expense. The work will begin on or
about September 1. Same eXainina-
tons have already been made from
which it appears that a number of
the old monuments have been de-
stroyed or taken away and there are
several instances in which it will re-
quire an actual survey in order to
determine where the new monuments
will be placed The original monu-
ments We're brought from England.
On the south side of each is the great
seal of Maryland and on the north side
the great seal of Pennsylvania. Some
of the monuments have been taken by
private parties and are now being
used as door steps. The surveying
will be done by the United States
Coast and Geodetic survey without
cost, but the assistants will be paid
by the two states. The line was run
originally between the years of 1862
and 1868.
