good will of Venezuela and OF the great desire
OF its government to keep in friendly relations
with the United States. He also brought to the

Venezuela and France was not brought up, but

Musical People Are
Delighted NTH These
AngeluS RecitaIS

Mr.. P. K. Van YORK is giving re-
markable demonstration of the pos
sibilities of the Angelus. He Is HIM
self a remarkable representation OF
what the Angelus can make IN the
way of a musician He never played
the piano until he played it with an
Angelus, and all of his musical abil-
ity has been secured by using the
Angelus.
If YOU will come today and hear
him interpret the music OF the great
masters-Beethoven, Chopin, List
and others-no matter how critical
YOU are, you must acknowledge a
wonderful accomplishment. If you
have a musical temperament you may
learn to do equally well. There is
no limitation to the artistic posi-
bilities of the performer with the
Angelus. Every touch and express
sion is entirely human, and no other
piano-player ever made gives such
possibilities of human expression as
MIR. Van YORK develops through the
Aneelus. We ask only that you hear
the Angelus and compare what you
see and hear with music produced
with any other instrument that IS
made.

be the continuing order when appropriation bills

jections. and will prove a fruitful topic of dis
cussion. Mr.. Bonynge. of Colorado, is in charge
OF the measure and occupied most of the time

ment law obvate the effect OF the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court in the Huff
case. where it was held that as soon as an
Indian entered on land he became a citizen. and
persons selling him liquor could not be prose-
cuted.
Mr.. Bonynge, in explaining the naturalization
bill, said it related solely to naturalization and
that it changed the fundamental principles OF
the present system by requiring an alien TO be
able TO write in some language and to read and
understand the English language. Mr. McNary,
of Massachusetts, questioned the assertion of
the large number OF naturalization frauds, and
contended that the bill sought to make a gem
eral provision to remedy conditions local to
New-York City.

frauds in Philadelphia" INTERCEPTED Mr.. Adams,
of Pennsylvania.
