CALL DECLINED.
Rev. G. 6. Kramer viii Not DO
70 Texarkaua.

New iberia Leader.
For two weeks past it has
been known to some of the in.
innate friends of the Rev. G. G.
Kramer that he was considering
a call to St. James Church, Tex
arkana, Tex. Some few Sum
days ago Mr.. Kramer visited
Texarkana, preached in the
morning and lectured in the
evening. The Vestry extended
a call and Bishop Garrett of
Texas urged him to accept. Mr..
Kramer deferred his final deci-
sion in the matter until Bishop
Sessum's recent visit to New
Iberia and asked his advice in
the matter. The Bishop was so
DESTROYS for him to remain in
Louisiana that Mr.. Kramer
decided to remain at the Church
of the Epiphany. This will no
doubt be good news to the
Rector's numerous friends in
New Iberia, where he has re-
sided for about fifteen years.
He has always been identified
with New Iberia's progress and
has given much attention to
public affairs.
Mr.. Kramer has frequently
been a speaker and lecturer
throughout the State on reli-
gious, educational and Masonic
occasions and is very widely
known. In the Diocese of Louis
lana he is high in the council of
the church and is a close friend
and adviser of the Bishop. He
now holds the position of Arch
deacon of the Southern Convoca.
ton. He has also twice repre-
sented Louisiana in the General
Legislature body of the church.

The Road Question.
Communication

Police Jury May the sixth last
appeares to be gradually vanish.
ing out of hearing. The short
spell of dry winds and sunny
days seems to have had a tend
encv to dry it up. Now the
rains and floods have come again
with much greater violence, it is
sincerely hoped that our Police
Jury will rush the ordinance so
wisely passed for widening and
draing our public roads.
The whole question of bad or
good roads rests with the grand
jury and the Police Jury. Our
last grand jury in their report
cast all the blame and response
bility for having bad roads upon
the shoulders of our Police Jury.
l claim with all due respect to
the members of the grand jury
that our grand jury is equally
responsible and just as much to
blame for the bad roads as the
Police Jury is. l claim that it is
one of the most important duties
that the grand jury owes to the
parish, that they should look
into the state of the public roads
by observation and inquiry, and
if they find them universally bad
it is their duty to look into the
system of working them and the
system of taxation for road pur-
poses. If they find that they
are all bad, or not satisfactory,
they should propose or recon-
mend a remedy. Any man can
find fault; but it takes a man
with brains and knowledge to
find a remedy for old and long
standing faults.
Our police jurors are chosen
by the people from amongst our
best agricultural business men:
they are men who are supposed
to have a general knowledge of
all the important business affairs
of the parish; but they are not
expected to be professional ex-
pert road builders. / don't
think that it is necessary that
they should be. I think that at
one of their sessions in May last
they made one of the grandest
and most important moves in
the way of improving our roads
that has ever been made in this
parish by appointing three COM
missiOners in each ward to at
tend to the drainage and the
widening of our public roads
from forty to fifty feet. If this
ordinance is strictly carried out
it will give us a foundation for
building the best roads to be
found in the State.
l think that our Police Jury
showed a very liberal and patrio.
tic spirit when they made a
grant of two hundred and fifty
dollars towards paying the ex-
penses of a State expert with a
long string of State machinery
to come and show US how to
make good road beds.
But / think that it would have
been much more judicious if the
grant had. been made towards
paying the expense of hiring
an expert land surveyor to show
U.S. if necessary, how to widen
our roads and properly drain
them. Our road beds are not
the principal cause of our bad
roads. In nine cases out of ten
they are caused by narrow roads
and bad drainage, and in some
cases by not having any road bed

The Standard: Child violinists are
particularly numerous at present, but
not all of them can lay claim to the
abilities displayed by Miss Kathleen
Parlow yesterday afternoon at the
Bechstein Hall. Miss Parlow halls from
Canada and is apparently still in her
teens. The tone she extracts
from her instrument is of fine volume
and noticeably clear In the matter of
technique she is especially gifted, and
plays difficult unaccompanied works by
Bach with the fuency and precision of
a mature artist. Miss Parlow should go
far, for she is a violinist of exceptional
promise, and her future career should
be watched with interest"
Queen: Miss Kathleen Parlow, a young
Canadian violinist came before the Lon
don public for the first time on Thursday
last week, on the afternoon of which
day she gave a recital in the Bechstein
Hall, at which she played Beethoven's
Romance in G, prelude in E major by
Bach. and Max Bruch's Concerto in ID
minor as we'll as a transcription Of The
Last Rose of Summer given by way Of
encore. In all these she exhibited firm
tone much musical feeling, combined
with great technical facility, and her eff
forts won the hearty approvG of her au-
ditors. She afterward gave, with much
manipulative dexterity, Paganinis 'Tema
con variazione' in A, and Ernsts Airs
Hongrois. .

Miss Kathleen ParloW.

Something of London and a good deal of

sends me in a recent very interesting let
ter. One rather takes exception to Kath-
leen, whom We have quite come to>regard
as Californian product, being described
on ner programmes as distinguished
Canadian violinist,'' but otherwise the
news of her career in the capital is emf
nently satisfactory. Mrs. Parlow un-
kindly asks me to consider the letter pri-
vate, but l should do i'll not to share
some of its news with the many inter-
ested in this gifted lassie.
AT the time of writing both George
Henschel and DR.. Frederic Cowen had
promised to hear Kathleen play-some-
thing of a triumph for the young fiddler,
as conductors in London are almost as
hard of approach as Lamas In Thibet
Her own debut concert, Mrs. Parlow
says, was a success both artistically and
fnanoially-with the following handsome
confirmation by the press. Since then
Kathleen has had several small engage
ments, with promises Of a number more
to come. There is also a provincial tour
in prospect for October next. The little
violinist has so far played in several no.
table private concerts at Frances Allit-
sens yearly ''at home, one of the affairs
of the year; at Mrs. Ronald's. where go
all good Americans in London; at Lady
Palmers, another musical center
Very frequently, Mrs. Parlow says, and
very curiously, Kathleen has been taken
for d Sevcik pupil and, says Mrs. Parlow,
''Sevcik is so pre-eminently of the bril-
liant school and Mr.. Holmes sent Kath-
leen here to play Bach and Beethoven .
A little more l cannot resist quoting
here: $50 many ask with whom my
daughter has studied and when we say
Henry Holmes they invariably remark
oh, no wonder she plays well, all his
pupils play well,-and then add, not
like your daughter, of course. 1t graf
ifies us deeply to find Mr.. Holmes so
well remembered and loved by the peo-
pie here

audience was large and enthusiastic"
The rumors that Gaudenzio Salassa is
to be mere in August gain strength. IL is
four years since the famous barytone
was heard here, and he will be enthusi-
astically welcomed by a large contingent
One hopes that the coincident rumorS that
Salassa's voice is in fine form now-as it
was not during his last season here-are
true, for his and Gregoretti's are incom-
parably the best barytone voices ever
heard at the Tivoli. Nor have we had
many finer artists than Salassa here. 1t
is in concert that the barytone will be
heard.
