Friday afternoon, september is, ans
had an old settlen' meeting that
made every one feel happy.
The weather az the preceding "a,
had been such that made the morn
ing Questionable nnd II was a late
hour before the people began %
gather. The sun shone strong, how
ever, and by eleven o'clock about enc
hundred people had come together,
! mostof them with well Allied baskets.
and such a dinner as was spread
would have fed a small army.
Following the dinner, Miles Prime.
as master OF ceremonies, opened the
stated part OF the program with a
few remarks, telling OF the object OF
the meeting and its nature. Mr..
Prime, always jolly and good natured,
made a most desirable and happy
presiding officer and under his direc'
ton, these people, who were more
than pleased TO be together in this
way, spent a most pleasant and pro
fitable afternoon. The meeting dealt
largely in the days OF old and many
were the stories and incidents relat'
ed OF the early days Of the county.
The meeting was opened with pray
er and the singing OF the good old
time tunes that have not been sung
In the whole county these many
years.
Talks were made by q number or
people, some brief, some more ex.
tended, but all were given the closest
attention. Among those addressing
the meeting at some length were A.
i. Shaigle, james HorDer, Wesley
shoemake, Mrs. Helen Bailey, Lou
shangle, Uncle" Isaac Ferree, Mrs.
Terrell and others, while there were
a number Of brief talks.
Mrs. Helen Bailey, vino, by the
way, has acted Is a sort OF a secres
tary for the meeting or organization,
and is directly responsible for her
portion Of the success OF the meet
ing, read a letter from the hand OF
w. X. Pomeroy, now in the soldiers
home at Marshalltown. The letter
was crowded full Of good things.
steven Pomeroy, Laban Johnson
and Isaac Ferree had been instru'
mental in getting the meeting start
ed, but these old pioneers have build.
ed better than they knew and a great
and permanent good iB 10 come OF
their efforts.
Thirty.one people who have been In
this one township for fifty years or

company and were photographed

II was generally regretted that
steven Pomeroy could not be pres
ent. Mrs. chas. steddom OF ear La
cey was an interested visitor n q
number OF people from oskaloosa en-
joyed the gathering.
II was the sense Of the meeting
that the gathering be made an annuaI
AFFAIR among the good people OF this
community and II was agreed that
the next meeting should DO held on
the first day Of September OF next
year at the same place. No oficeri

For the first time since 1871 q grand

founded upon Thomas Hardy's Tess OF

those who have examined 1t to meet
the theme excellently. and by one critic
is called "a remarkable piece OF orches-

further said that from what may be

METHODS OF APPLAUSE
OUGHT TO BE CHANGED
Manifestations Now in Vogue Smack of Barbarsm Silence
Highest Evidence of Appreciation.

A strong plea for some change In the
methods by which applause IS now ex-
pressed at public performances is made
by Alan Dale.
The trouble with the barbaric mani
festations OF today is that they can be.
and are. initiated, he says. The man
with a wooden leg can make the most
noise. He can pound II SO ''encourag-
inSly." If / were u star actor under
modern conditions ! should advertise
for a Wooden-legged clacQue. I'd sooner
have one wooden leg than half dozen
mere feet. Sufferers from foot trouble"
cannot express their artistic apprecIa-
ton of works of art very fervidly to-
Gay. Their spirit is eager, but their
corns are unwilling.
The imitation OF applause today has
become such 4 fine art that the unin-
itiated first-nighter cannot detect the
spurious from the genuine. Youthful
critics. who have no Views of their
own. but who rely upon the apparent
effect of play upon the audience, are
undone by the clever stimulation of
artistic appreciation. ! don't know why
L call It clever, for II certainly ism t
clever to beat the hands together in a
savage tattoo and knock the heels Of
the shoes upon the floor.
Utter silence, some will protest, might
be mi5construed. 1t might be recognized
as mere indifference or WEAKNESS. That
would probably be it's fate IL it were
suddenly adopted today, because we E9e
this artistic mode of soulful appreciation
as the treatment fer failures. Think OF
it! We treat our failures with the splen-
did gold of silence and our successes
with the rumpns of our noisy heels. It
is the very irony Of reversion and per-
version. We are too polite-or too lazy
10 hiss our disapproYal OF production.
instead we lavish upon it the balm of
silence. We steal away from a con-
temptible failure, apparently bathed in
the glorious silence of a beautiful mental
Sercnity-which should be our recognt-
ton of emotional success.

assistant organist. At seventeen he ac-
cepted a position at the Church of the
Reformation in New York, where his
talent as a leader showed itself in the
fun boy choir and large mixed chorus
that he organized. In 1883 he went to
Europe and began deep study into
the works Of the German masters of
tone drama
After going to Europe he continued his
studies for two years in Dresden under
the famous composer Felix Droescke.
Then he went to Berlin and devoted
himself for a time TO composition with
Prof. Urban, who was one time the pre-
ceptor of Paderewsk1 and Josef Hof-
mann.
IN March. 1892, he made his first ap-
pearance at the Bewerbe-Haus, in Dres-
den. conducting his original suite for
stringed orchestra, and receiving the un-
stinted praise of critics.
Various works Of his were produced
during the year, but it was not until
December OF that year that his sym
phonic poem, after Olive Shriner's 1.-The
Lost JOY was performed in Dresden,
under his own baton. This marked an
era in his career and was the beginning
OF his great success. He next conducted
this at the Concert Haus in Berlin by
special request Of Kapellmeister Mey-
der. and after this performance the crit
les unhesitatingly praised his original
ity, knowledge of musical forms and
mastery of orchestral resources.

"a Message from Mars" the comedy
that has been the greatest success in its
line that London and New York have
known in many years, and which was
received so favorably here two years

original success was mainly due to the
thoroughly delightful and natural act
ing of Charles Hawtrey. "A Message
