THE SONS or DELAWARE

The Sons of Delaware gathered at
the Hotel Stratford for their tenth an
nual banquet, and men who had not
looked on their birthplaces for many
years were eager listeners TO stories
of the Diamond State. and Delaware
was almost the single topic Of con-
versation throughout the evening.
At the conclusion OF the dinner
George Alfred Townsend responded
to the toast of "The Sons of Della
ware" in place Of Governor HUM,
who was unable to be present. Mr..
Townsend spoke especially of the in
tensely national feeling that has ex-
listed in Delaware since 1887. when she
took the lead in adopting the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. Mr..
Townsend referred briefly to the re-
cent senatorial troubles of the little
State and declared that though
Delaware may lack senator's in Con-
gress she prefers honor to full compile
ment and the sense OF chastity of the
State is well represented"
John Bassett Moore of New York
city. formerly of FELTON,, Del, spoke
OF Our National Development and
the part that Delaware has played in
tho growth of the nation. He made
particular mention Of John B. Clayton,
Of Clayton-Bulwer Treaty fame as a
Delawarean who had been unjustly
criticised. "The principle Of neutrali-
zation. or the freedom OF the seas, was
first clearly enunciated by Clayton in
that treaty. said Mr. Moore. "and l
am happy TO say that that important
provision has been again incorporated
into the new Hay-Pauncefote agree
ment."
Judgs Bradford responded to the
toast, "The Duties Of Citizenship"
Reviewing the subject upon which he
spoke. Judge Bradford enumerated the
salient features of citizenship andthe
principles at the basis Of civic liberty.

couRr GIVES IFS IREAsoNs

At the conclusion of the arguments of
the attorneys in the Lynn case Chief JUS
tice Lore and Judges Spruance and
Grubb retired 10 their parlors and after n
consultation returned TO the court and
Chief Justice Lore delivered the decision
of the court as follows:
The court have listened TO the argu-
ments made by the respective counsel
with great interest The first question
presented and argued was the motion 10
change the venue.
I'VE think the defendant has utterly
failed to show to this court any reason
able ground for the conclusion that he
cannot have a perfectly fair trial, before
an impartial jury, in New Castle county.
He has failed to show such a condi-
ton of prejudice i'm the county, or such a
tangible interest in the judges, the grand
jury or petit jury as to bring this case
within the cases cited by him, to warrant
a change of venue.
I'VE therefore decline to change the
venue.
"The other question raised was upon
quashing the indictments, upon two
grounds One Of these was the interest
of the court and the grand jury, which
we have already passed upon.
"The other ground is based upon al
legged defects in the indictments. After
considering the argument from that
branch, which were very full we do not
see any lack of material averments that
would warrant this court in quashing the
indictments on either of the points raised.
We therefore refuse TO quash the indict-
mcnts."
exception. The court refused 20 note an
exception. but decided TO hear authori-
ties on the right Of an exception i'm the
case.

CLEVER SAN FRANCISCO MUSI-
CLAN WHO HAS RETURNED
HOME FROM ABROAD.

It was played on Sunday, November a.
at the Paris Conservatory.
The Paris correspondent of the Courier
saws that the overture is Thoroughly
Mozartean in character; also that 1t is
Mozart tempered slightly by the French
school-a delightfully."- naive confession OF
French vanity! He further says that the
orchestration is that of Mozarts other
works written for the grand orchestra.
It should be said that the overture con-
sists of a short solo andante for the
oboe and an allegro spirituoso. AS to
the artistic quality of the work the cor
respondent has nothing to say, neither OF
its reception by the Partisan critics. Mr..
Steindorff will no doubt soon give US OPP
portunity of hearing it for ourselves?
Things are slow in the musical world
Just now. outside of the excellent relig-
ious music that has been heard in many
of the churches this week. There has
been nothing at all of public note
beyond that. Last week there was
a private recital of organ and piano music
given by Marshall W. Giselmann, a young
student who has just returned here from
London after two years study, that must
have been interesting. did not hear the
recital, but have since had the pleasure
of hearing Mr.. Giselmann in the same
numbers, and find him an ardent student,
with an abundant temperament and
considerab BILE measure of technical achieve
ment. He plays the usual things-Bach,
Mendelssohn, Widor cOmpOsitiOns-with
some new works by new men, and shows
throughout a fine enthusiasm for his art.
I do not particularly e his schooling
and think the talented young man could
better himself on his resumption of study
even here in his own city, and certainly
in Chicago, with Middelschulte, not to
speak Of Widor and Vierne in Paris. He
has the attractive attributes of modesty
and industry and speaks of a long five
years of study before him before he shall
be able to do big things, with the humil-
ity of the true student. But he needs
right direction, a school in which the
solid values are not sacrificed to bril-
lance, where the frame is firm, the joints
clean and the rest will come of itself.
Mr.. Giselmann's best number was the
"Toccata' from Widor's fifth symphony,
but he gave with considerable aplomb the
G minor Fantasia and Fugue of Bach,
a Fantasia by Sjogren, a pretty Pas
tOrale" of Lemare's and few other num-
bers. He also plays the piano well, is a
student Of harmony and has generally
gone the right way to equip himself for
a musical career. Trotter, the organist of
London, has been his teacher hitherto.
Next week comes the second symphony
concert with an excellent programme,
then Hoffman,, the famous pianist. Nor
dica will follow shortly after, which is
all very good to look forward to.

japanese Are Growing.

The increase Of stature among the Jap
snese is very preceptible, and the substi-
tuition Of tepid and even cold water for
the hot baths among many Of the people
is responsible for an increasing foridity
Of the complexion. Before the advent Of
military discipline on European models
the japanese were notable as the small
est necl5ed race in the world, a firm of
London collar makers with large trade
in Japan asserting that thirteen inches
was the normal circumference Of a full
grown japanese throat. In a little over
twenty years, owing to a more athletic de-
velopment, the average has risen an inch
and a half. To athletic development
should also be added greater avoirdupois,
inasmuch as q more generous diet and
abstention from parboiling is bringing its
reward in an accumulation OF muscle and
tissue.
