Russian Pianist Nav Come.

There is a possibility that the people
of Brattleboro will soon have an OPP
portunity to hear a musical entertain
ment which will mark an epoch in the
musical annals of the town-a concert
by the noted Russian pianist, Ossip
Gabrilowitsch, who is giving a series
of concerts in this country under the
management of A. M. Wright, the
New DIRK manager of the John Church
company. Mr. Wright as is well known,
is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Leopold
Retting of Brattleboro, and if he de-
cides to have Mr.. Gabrilowitsch come
to BrattleborO it will be purely for the
sake of old memories, as he he well
knows that the receipts of a packed
Auditorium would not pay the eX-
penses of the concert. Mr. Gabrilo
witsch was % years old last Saturday
His father is one of the nobility of Rus
STA and his brother is one of the lead
ing lawyers in st. Petersburg. The
young man is having phenomenal sue
cess in this country, and he will be
paid $4,000 for 40 concerts, besides
having all his expenses paid includ-
ing the fare for his passage from ST.
Petersburg to this country and return
Mr.. Wright has written to ascertain
the seating capacity of the Auditorium

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT.
Very Enjoyable Musically and an
Auspicious Aueury for the Music
OF the Future.

Very Enjoyable unsteady, and an
Auspicious Augury for the Music
Of the Future.
The town, the village, the district.
the school committee, the teachers.
the pupils and especially the patrons
of the schools are to be congratulated
heartily on the musicale given last
Wednesday evening at the High
school room.
The members of the glee club, Is
in number, and the members of the
music class to the number of 30 or
more took their places at the front of
the room, where the faculty usually
sit, and were accompanied by Miss
Stewart at the piano Under the
baton Of Miss Emma Gregg. the music
director of the schools the combined
forces rendered the following excel
lent program:
Anvil Chorus, "Troyatorc."
Swiss Battle Song, william Tell"
Pilgrim Chorus
Death and Bmi2l of Cock Robin.
The Grasshopper, a tragic cantata
with solos by Bcryl Gilman
Maude Young and Arthur Hyde,
and assisted by George Adams.
In addition to the vocal selections
Miss Grace Ecls contributed the in
| tvrmcZzO from "CaVallCria Rusticana
by Mascagni and the Guitar and Man
dOlin club, Miss Cox leader. gave scv
oral selections which all contributed
much to the enjoyment OF the eve
ming.
OF course the affair was arranged
to give the citizens of Brattlcboro an
| opportunity to hear and know what
| was being done in music in om
| schools. This ontertainmont-foi
such it certainly was--introduced only
| the work of the High school and was
| exceedingly Crcditable alike to teach
! er and class.
The opening numbers revealed ;
| good degree of interest on the part o.
| the pupils and a balance of tone il
| part singing as we'll as volume o.
tone in unison that were surprising
to those who have not kept in toucI
with Miss Gregg's work. The must,
of 10 years hence is largely in the
hands of those who sang last Wed
nesday evening and their efforts an
CUR well for development along tina
| line
1t would be ungracious to criticiz,
from a high stand point but indeed
there was little opportunity for that
Musically considered it was very en-
joyable, and there is much of promis,
in it.
The terrible fate of the unfortunat,
grasshopper was related in sympathet
ic and mournful numbers and tn,
grief of some of the mourning rela
tives was touching in the extreme.
1t is to be hoped that some of tn,
grade work may be exploited at som,
future time.

Nottingham Academy Notes.

Most of the students who were i'll
last week are back to give the others
vacation, which appears necessary
this week. The sick ones are gain.
ing, so a quorum may be expected
soon.
Rev. S. J. Smith will give the YES.
per talk at the chapel next Sunday
at o'clock. 1t is hoped that there
will be a good attendance, so that it
will not be necessary to give up the
vespers entirely. There will be spe.
cial music.
The principal has a flattering offer
to leave us and go to another place.
His acceptance will depend much on
developments here. Probably he will
not provide a substitute if he goes. so
it is for the community to decide
whether it wishes to give up the pre-
sent advantage and cut off another
hundred from the next census report
for this town. Advantages of this sort
help to retain what good citizens we
have among us. No institution of
equal value to the town can take the
place of the academy.

The Forum.

or the fourteen articles in the Febru-
airy Forum, the one entitled The Re
habilitaiton of the Democratic Party"
by AN eX-Democrat," WILL perhaps, at
tract the widest attention. 1t treats of
the causes leading up to the present pre-
dicament of the Democratic party, and
suggests certain principles for the future
calculated to cOncliate the disaffected
elements OF the party. lie says; THE
question of rehablitatng the Democratic
party rests with The politicians who have
control of the machine and with the in
telligent Northern and Western Demo-
Gratis who broke away in 1896. The lat
ter are still provided with unofficial lead
ers, like eX-President Cleveland, Mr.. Car
Isle, Mr., Olney, and others whom they
would DOUBTLESS be willing to follow.
Therefore it remains with these two
comparatively small groups of influential
men to endeavor to agree upon a pro-
gramme of united future action or to
part company forever"
The Spelbinders," an article in the
February Forum by Hon. William D.
Foulke, is a narrative of the trials of po-
liucal speakers during the campaigns
Mr.. Foulke's narrative teens with humor-
GUS anecdotes, and contains so much that
is illustrative of human nature that IT
must prove of unabating interest to all
ClaSSe of readers.

ley's two sons, Daniel and Cornelius

.F-p-FiRg on the matter was, held be-

to the will, bequeathing Mrs. Muir
phys share to Mrs. Smith Mrs.
Smith was one of the three persons
who signed the codicil as witnesses.
The sons, Daniel and Cornelius, CON

of Brattleboro, who has been very sue

list and lecturer on physical culture,
is now in Boston to speak before the
most prominent society of women of
the Back Bay set. The Boston Sun
day Herald said: The first of Mrs.
BARRIERS fashionable course of three
talks on physical development at
Mrs. George Tyson's on Dartmouth
street, Thursday afternoon, at $50,
was enjoyed by a large number of
subscribers, who paid the closest at
tention to the interesting and valua-
BILE talk on "The Body's Relation to
Mind and Morals" Mrs. Barber was
very attractive in an empire gown of
old rose Liberty, with a broad band
of velvet around her open neck, velvet
bows in her hair. Her corsetless
figure showed off her graceful lines
beautifully and made it easy for her
to give the various exercises which
illustrated the talk. Mrs. Barber is
fortunate in having an exceptionally
charming and refined personality and
a sweet, well modulated voice. vhioh
add very much to the value of what
she says.

Memorial to Dr.. George Leon Walker

A fitting memorial service was held
Jan. 13 in the Centre Congregational
church of Hartford Conn, in mem
oIN of two Congregational leaders,
Rev. Dr.. George Leon Walker and
Rev. DE- Charles Marion Lamson.
Two beautiful bronze tablets at the
right of the pulpit, then first seen by
the congregation, were a new demon
stration of the love and honor in
which the lamentcd pastors were held.
In a fine characterization Rev. DR.. A..
j. Lyman said that it was the worn,
true masterful face of DR.. Walker
which looked courage into his eyes
when he preached his first sermon
in the Centre church. DR.. Walker was
p soldier of truth and faith true
Knight He was a student who set
his clench Of will against disease and
climbed on crutches the Mount Sion
of his vocation. Always sufferer,
he was ever n wrestler and a conquer
or. He was one of the greatest pull
pit stylists of his time. His sermons
sought out the souls core and mas
tered the nearer. Independent, co.
gent, strong. he eXerted a mighty in
fluence. He loved orthodoxy, while
he loved the freedom which alone
gave orthodoxy it's ethical value. On
the bronze tablet erected to his mem
DRY he is styled scholar among stu
dents, a counsellor among friends, a
leader among associates, a preacher
- commanding power, Christian of
conspicuous life.
