Gifted Denarted Friends.

Inc communication from Prof. Z.
B. Snyder, former Director Of Music OF
Whitworth College, we are pleased to
note items of interest concerning him
self and others known to Brookhaven
people. Prof. Snyder is now teaching
private pupils at Hudson, N. T., few
miles from his old home, and is
charmed with his work. Miss Hunt,
the former accomplished violinist OF
Whitwortb, is also engaged with pri-
vate pupils at her home in Provi-
dence, r. l. At a recent concert given
at Greenport, enthusiastic praise was
given our well-remembered and gifted
friends mentioned, and to Mrs. Snyder,
also, whose sweet soprano was highly
complimented by the Hudson Register.
The musical and social gifts of these
excellent and cultured people will
never be forgotten by those who knew
and admired them in this city. In his
pleasant letter, Mr. Snyder also
mentions Miss Hunts recent visit to
Miss Esther Priebatsch at the con-
servatory in Boston and anticipates a
visit to her himself at an early date.
Brookhaven admirers and friends
we are sure, will be pleased to hear
something of their gifted departed
friends and to renew good wishes for
their welfare through all time.

The names of faithful cooks in this
city have come to us with far greater
alacrity than those of young men who
neither smoke, chew, drink nor swear.
Our list is still open. Mr.. Kohlman
gives US the name of his cook, Hannah
Reyes, who has served his family
through twenty-five continuous years.
And Nancy Richardson, who has cooked
for the same number of years in Mr..
Hartman's family, deserves her name
on record. These faithful servants
relieve their mistresses of almost the
entire responsibility in their depart
ments of household work; and, all
regardless of bakers, these, with others
we have mentioned, do the family
baking of bread, cake, etc. Long life
to them, and may their tribe increase.
