A HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS
FIRST CONCERT TO BE GIVEN
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

An event which promises to greatly re-
new interest in the study of music In the
local public schools, and which may pc

in the success of the event on FRIDAY

If sufficient popular approval is ac-
corded the concert it is stated that plans
will Immediately be taken up for one
day spring festival of music, IN Which the
two school choruses will take the most
prominent parts. Ultimately, 1T Is under-

scheme hope to start a movement looh-

In view of this feature of the work 1t
is urged that citizens of this city VINO

Woman Restored to Life by Salt.

After having been pronounced dead by
two physicians and nurse, Mrs. Charles
A. Sweet, wife of a ST. Louis provision
merchant, has been restored by the infusion
of salt solution into her VEINS and is now
believed to be recovering her health.
Five weeks ago Mrs. Sweet suffering
from gastritis, went to Hot Springs, Ark,
In the hope of recovery. On the night of
February u she seemed to be dying, and
eventually her heart ceased beating and
respiration stopped. She was pronounced
dead. A third physician, however, decided
to try salt solution infusions and there
followed signs of animation. The operation
was continued, and Mrs. Sweet revived.
She has returned to her home IN st. Louis,
and is now apparently recovering her
health. 80 p ~

precions stones found in him ready eIyer.
He also devoted some attention to stones
of not quite so precious a character and
cast a kindly eye upon all sorts of queer
charms and examples of queer settings. The
object of his craze for pearls seems to have
been twofold. Lord Anglesey seemed to
have something of the magpe about him,
strange habit of boarding these precious
belongings which was shown by the uneX-
pected places in which they have been found
during the recent searches in Anglesey
castle for the benefit of his clamoring cred
itors.
The second object with which he bought
pearls was a mania for self-adornment
which led him into another strange set of
eXcesses-his pursuit of a semi-theatrical
career Lord Anglesey seems always to
nave been attracted by the theater, but at
certain point in his life he seized upon
this means of exhibiting his priceless jew

His Theater in His Castle.

His little theater in Anglesey castle, which
he built soon after he succeeded to the es-
tates, was nothing more than a very ex-
pensive setting for the bejeweled marquis.
AS Pekoe in Aladdin the pantomime
which he produced in 1902 in his bijou
theater, he stood forth literally covered
with his jewels. He wore from time to
time fresh costumes covered with new gems,
the total value of which was estimated at
81 900.
The theatrical expenditures of the mar
quis had not the redeeming feature which
the acquisition of priceless jewels seemed
to possess, and if the object of his life had
been the Gripping of the family estates he
succeeded beyond his widest hopes. AT a
meeting of his creditors last June II was
stated that after making the best possible
provision for the payment of debts the
marquis had before him the hopeless out
look of living on $4,000 year.
When Anglesey castle was ransacked by
the creditors they found it literally packed
with valuables of every description. The
contents of one unlocked drawer alone were
valued at $125, 900, while among the crock
cry in the pantry was found rock crystal
ever which recently sold at auction for
sci 900. After the financial crash the mar
quis betook himself to the continent In the
hope of making the most of his attenuated
income.

PROPOSED FORMATION OF UNIONS

PENCHANT- FOR JEWELS
ECCENTRICITIES OF LATE MAR
GUS OF ANGLESEY.

The death of the Marquis of Anglesey at

in The Star is much regretted at Bangor,

was greatly liked The shops there are
closed as a mark of respect for the de-

commonly described, ran through a mag
nffcent property and s2.50O.GOO, in addition
to his annual income of upward of $500, 1000,
deriNed from the family estates
The facts of the life of Henry Cyril
Paget, fifth Marquis of Anglesey, during
the six years of his holding of the title
sound like some wild romance written
round an imaginary French nobleman of
the period just preceding the revolution.
Born in 1875, little is known of the child
hood of the young marquis. Perhaps the
first occasion on which he attracted at
tention was on his marriage in 1898 to his
cousin, the beautiful Miss Lillian Chef
wynd.
Jewels Never Before Equaled.
The jewels which the marquis presented
to his bride caused comment even in society;
they were of richness which had never
been equaled in any wedding gift. and
their profusion was almost barbaric. The
marquis had then given the first sign of
jewel mania which afterward passed all
bounds. Within month after their mar
riage the young couple separated on the
Riviera, and in 1900 the marchioness OBJ
tanned divorce. The marquis then devoted
himself to his favorite pastime of skirt
dancing and theatricals.
The Marquis Of Anglesey was the head
of the famous Paget family, and was a
cousin of Almeric Hugh Paget son-in-
law of the late William c.. Whitney, and
of Sydney and Arthur Paget. The wife of
the latter was the daughter of the late
Paran Stevens of New York. Just after
the marquis came into his title by the
death of his father in 1898 he paid visit
to this country. He was the guest of his
departed for England he took away
French bull dog, and in some way violated
the regulations governing the importation
of dogs, for which he was fined 500. While
in New York city he attended the horse
show of 1898 with Mr.. and Mrs. Almeric
Hugh Paget.
INDUCED Prediction for Jewels
On coming into his estates the marquis
began to crafty his prediction for jewels,
and to such extravagant lengths did this
mania carry him that, although inheriting
an income of $550,0O0 year. his debts last
year amounted to $27OO,OO0. No price of
any precious stones had any terrors for
him. The $4,000 pearl scarf-pin had at
tracted most publicity, because 1t was
among those stolen from the marquis about
two years ago, when he lost over 100000
worth of gems. Diamonds, rubieS, emer-
aids, sapphires, turQuoises-nearly all the
