THE Carnival at Full Swing"

Confetti battles commenced
yesterday afternoon and lasted
until the wee hours Of the
morning. The streets were
crowded with people, both
young and old. The ferris wheel
was kept busy as was the mer-
ry-go-round. The attractions on
the whole are very good. With
out a doubt they are worth
every cent that is asked for
admission. The carnival COM
mlttee and several of the local
merchants have adorned the
streets with bunting today
which serves to add much to it's
beauty. The streets are we'll
lighted thus enabling one to
view the attractions as we'll by
night as by day. A large crowd
is present today and tomorrow
the town will be thronged with
people. The neighboring towns
are we'll represented here today.
Do not fail to attend the
shows. They are all good. On
Second street you will see the
Vaudeville. This is something
you haven't seen and of course
the attraction here is some
thing enormous. Across the
way you may have the oppor-
tunity of seeing Marie DeWolf,
the wonderful athletic lady.
The attractions here are all up
to-date as we'll as interesting.
On 3rd street the dog and
monkey show is giving a great
deal of amusement and at the
same time there is a great deal
of scientific training displayed.
Go see the shows and have a
good time.

Franklin Harris. Eoted Young
Musician,

Franklin Harris, Noted Young
Musician.
This weeks Broadway Week
ly Magazine of New York City
contains the picture and fol-
lowing of Franklin Harris:
Society, or that part of it
thlt runs to concerts AMI re-
citals, has found a novelty in
| the season just ending which
bids fair to become even more
popular next year. This is the
musical reading.
DR.. Richard Strauss gave it
great vogue by his setting of
"Enoch Arden" and David
Bispham drew large audiences
to Carnegie Hall to hear him
recite Tennyson's lines to the
Doctors music.
! But even before the Strauss
musical readings had attracted
their devotees, one of those to
achieve success indeed almost
the only American composer
who has yet taken it is
Franklin Harris, whose settings
of Walt Whitman's poems as
read by Mrs. Amy Grant, have
been heard at the Waldorf
Astoria and else where.
Harris is a young musician
whose home is in the West, but
who received his musical edu-
cation abroad. He has already
achieved success as a composer
and as a teacher of composition
and harmony. Several of his
songs are widely sung and he
is now engaged on an operetta.
His settings of the Whitman
poems have been we'll received
here and Bispham is to give
some of them at recitals in
London this summer.
Harris, in his work as we'll as
in his personal appearance, re-
minds one of the late Ethelbert
Nevins, whose "Narcissus" and
Glove Song" will be cherished
by our children's children, and
it is no small tribute to young
Harris ability that he has for
a pupil Nevins' daughter, who
has inherited much of her
fathers genius.
