Pfttsheld. Mass, July 27-Mr. and Mrs.

Louisiana, Mo-. July 27-J. w. Caldwell
Of cameron, formerly Collector of Pike
County. has brought suit against the Bank
of Louisiana to set aside deed to 2214
acres OF land in Texas. forty miles from
Beaumont. Mr.. Caldwell was indebted to
the bank in the sum Of $3.50. and the note
was secured by a deed Of trust on the Texas
land. When called on for payment Of the
note last fall he offered deed to the land,
but 1t was declined.
In January. after oil had been discovered
at Beaumont, the bank sent him deed to
the land to sign. and as he had not heard
of the oil discoveries he signed it.
The bank was offered $500 for the land
by man in the State OF Louisiana, but
before the deal was closed another offer
of 1900 was received and the Louisiana
man did not get the land. He has brought
suit In Texas to compel the bank to give
him deed.
When Mr.. Caldwell learned the facts he
brought suit to have the deed he made to
the bank set aside. The land is now worth
about $4,000. as a gusher was recently
opened near 1t. Judge W. H. Biggs of st.
Louis is one Of the attorneys for the bank
and has been here this week taking deposit
lions In the case.

THE TIME TO APPLAUD.
Audience should Wait UntSi the Piece

Is Euded.
The time to applaud the perform
ance of a piece of music is when it is
entirely ended. There is no other
proper time. To applaud in the midst
of the performance is to interrupt and
to inflict an objectionable annoyance
on those who desire to listen to the
composition in it's entirety. Music is
not like a play; it can not stop until
the applause Is over. 1t must go on.
Therefore, we get these special rules.
At a performance of Wagnerian
opera, or other opera in which there
are no separate numbers, the only
possible time to applaud properly Is
at the end of an act. That is the only
time when the conductor can stop. At
all other times he must go right on.
and if you applaud you simply prevent
people from hearing some of the mu-
sic. In an old-fashioned opera, such rs
I'll Trovatore," you may without i'm
propriety applaud at the end Of each
number. The opera was constructed

possible for the conductor to stop and
wait for you to express your enthusi-
asm. But at a Wagner opera this can
not be DONE. And please bear in mind
that the act does not begin when the
singing begins nor end when the
singing ends. 1t begins and ends with
the orchestra, and what the orchestra
plays is as much a part of the work
as what the actors sing, and the audi
ence has a right to hear it. Do not
deprive any one of that right by ap-
plauding as soon as the last vocal
note has been sung. Do not applaud
a person playing a violin concerto
every time he takes the instrument
from under his chin. Do not applaud
one playing a piano concerto every
time he lifts his fingers from the key
board. The only proper time to ap-
such performances Is at the end OF
a movement. You can not applaud
at any other time without interrupt
ing, and it is very rude to interrupt.
