Daisy's Answer to Ripping.


Editor Press
1t is evidently certain that somebody
is feeling pretty sore over our protest
in an recent issue of the PRESS, in re-
gard to the schools of this place.
We have always been willing since
childhood to take our medicine and
| suppose the dose on this occasion will
not cause us any indisposition, consid-
ering where it comes from.
God pity us if there are any more
such verdant scribes as the Ripper

Look at the article of last week,
placing the empatic word He, or u.s.
ing it all through what some persons
call gifted phraseology.

putting too much grammatical emphasis
on the pronoun he, vainly straining at

Mr. Editor, my mother always
taught me to be truthful in my deal

state here that have the usual thumb
and four fingers on my right hand. If
the entertainments conducted by our
schools here can be counted on our
right hand during the term, we will
acknowledge the error and call it a
case of mistaken identity.
This writer, or writer's. has taken the
responsibility to speak for the whole
community, the school directors, teach

half of the people.

them, go away back and sit down and
study your A, B, C's, with those large
scholars who received the alphabet

the teacher, as a reward of merit, at
the close of the present term, with ad.

Organ Recital.

DR.. Minor G. Baldwin, of New York
| City, the gifted organist will give an
organ recital in st. Marks Catholic
Church, Emporium, on Friday even
ing, tomorrow. The price of admis-
sion will be SOC. This will be the first
puclic recital since the new organ
has been placed in the church and it is
hoped large audience will greet DIR.
Baldwin.
This gentleman gave Recital in
Mulberry Street NJ. r. Church, Will
Transport, last Tuesday evening to a
large audience. The Williamsport
Bulletin in speaking of the entertain
ment says:
"That DIR. Minor G. Baldwin is a
genius of the first water and an artist
of exceptional gift and culture cannot
be gainsaid, for he held the vast audi
ence spellbound Throughout long and
intricate program on classical selec-
tions at the organ recital at the Mul-
berry Street NJ. E., church Monday
evening. Encores were the order Of
the evening, and DR.. Baldwin was re-
peatedly recalled and responded gen.
erously.
This was DIR. Baldwin's second pub
lie appearance in this city, and the
program was up to the standard of
that of his previous visit, abounding
in the classic music sufficiently to
satisfy the most critical.
The recital opened with the Fleuret
Sonata. While comparatively new
and seldom found on organ programs
in the intirety, it created profound
impression. The composition opens
with strong harmonic theme with the
usual sonata form development, intro
ducing choral of strong Gregorian
character. Slight variations of choral
follow, again re entry Of original
theme, and closing the movement with
the choral with full organ"
