The final process, which gives the

This was done by the application of a

Egypt the heat of the sun was prob

the artists work.

Musicians Appreciated.

A piano and song recital was given at
Newport on the evening of October 16
the participants being ladies in whom
our readers will be interested. The New.
port Express & Standard has these
appreciative words to say of their work
1.-THE selections played by Miss
Marjorie Batchelder included repor-
toire of the works of the old and modern
masters of piano composition. Very
difficult technique was evident through
out the selections but the performer
appeared to have a complete mastery OF
the keyboard and was showered with
applause upon the ending ofeach selec-
ton.
The selections by Mrs. Ethel Galbraith
Stiles of St. Johnsbury, were well receiv-
ed. She sang with an apparent excellent
control of her voice and while the selec-
tons did not include high register OF
notes, the range of them pleased the
audience better, seemingly, than if an
attempt had been made by the singer to
introduce the operate kind of music"

A Railway Engineers Epitaph.

An engineer on the Chicago and
Mississippi railway, awaiting the death
which was sure to result from injuries
suffered in an accident, is said to have
written these lines, which are inscribed
on his tombstone in the cemetery at
Alton, H.
My engine now is cold and still,
No water does my boiler fill,
My coke affords its flame no more,
My days of usefulness are DER.
My wheels deny their wonted speed,
No more my guiding hand they heed;
My whistle-it has lost its tone,
It's shrill and thrilling sound is gone;
My valves are now thrown open wide,
My fanges all refuse to guide,
My clacks, alas tho once so strong,
Refuse their aid in the busy throng.
No more 1 feel each urging breath,
My steam is now condensed in death,
LIES railway DER, each station past,
In death Pm stopped, and rest at last.

Japan the bulk of the wonderful cores
pondence from Toxic, pithy, incisive,
clear and logical, that proceeded the
war.
The same British diplomat was
authority for the statement that Deni-
son advised the japanese Government
throughout the negotiation for the first
treaty alliance with Great Britain.
Denison played an important part in
the treaty revision that, ten years ago,
claimed the attention of the world, and
there have been few domestic concerts of
high importance in which his wonderful
knowledge, Judgment and resource have
not been used to great advantage by the
Japanese Government. At Portsmouth,
when Witte and Komura had concluded
peace, Denison was designated on behalf
of the Japanese, to frame the agreement
and treaty that were later signed.
There have been changes innumerable in
the government of japan since Denison
first entered the service, but each succeed
ing cabinet has recognized his worth
and insisted on his retention. He has
received the highest decorations granted
by the crown to those who are not
princes of the blood, and if he ever cared
to take advantage of great honorary
position he would be welcomed every
where throughout the land as great
noble. He is one of a very small number Of
foreigners ever admitted to the slightest
of intimate approaches to the Emperor,
and among his valued possessions are
several costly imperial presents.

Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare's beautiful play Romeo
and Juliet will be produced at Music
Hall next Tuesday evening, Nov. 6, as
the opening entertainment in the Star
Course. A first class company headed
by William Owen formerly with Otis
Skinner) present this great play. The
bureau through which this company
was booked endorse Mr.. Owen as fol-
lows: In presenting William Owen we
do so with the full satisfaction that we
are introducing demonstrated quality.
Mr.. Owen has won his spurs. For nine
years he has been producing the classic
drama in the Middle West with a success
that has made his name stand for high
endeavor and worthy achievement. He
has left his work to speak for itself and
has disdained those sensational efforts
at advertising to which so many
Theatrical attractions resort. The
result is that his reputation rests upon a
solid foundation.
Mr.. Owen has won acclaim in such
parts as Hamlet, Romeo, Shylock, .Bene-
dict, Richelieu, Claude Melnotte, in the
charming Lady of Lyons, David Garrick
in the play of that name, D'Artagnan in
The Three Musketeers, and many other
classic and romantic dramas. In fact,
he has probably played more of the
great parts than any other man of his
age upon the stage.
Mr. Owen brings all his own scenery
and stage settings and arrangements
will be made so that the play, which will
be produced in Music Hall on Tuesday
evening, Nov. 6, will have all the
effectiveness of production in large
city theatre.

in murder trials. A great deal Of ex-
pert testimony is only that in name,
and the very best to be of value in ar
irving at the truth, should be Of an
unbiased and disinterested character.
1t has been suggested that expert tes-
timony be confined to the states side
of a case. While this might seem
like ex parte testimony and unfair to
the accused, yet the object sought,
that to arrive at a state of facts, free
from prejudice could be more read
lily accomplished.
While socalled experts may be pro
fessionally honest which is but human
nature that they favor the side by
which they are engaged in the trial
of a case, like any other witnesses
who may be subpoenaed.
Whether the method of securing ex
pert testimony can be changed or no,
there is no gainsaying the fact that
distrust of it in reaching the ends
of justice is widespread. and hascaus
ed a great deal of unfavorable com
ment by the press in recent years.

MONT, April q, 100,
SEND A CARLOAD OF FLOUR.

The business men and citizens of
Lewistown have responded to the call
for assistance that came from the
stricken city of San Francisco and
a carload of -four was shipped this
morning for the relief of the sufferers.
Probably quicker action could have
ben taken but there was some delay
in determining just what form the do
nation should take, whether in money
or provisions.
1t was happy suggestion that a
carload of -four be sent because it
is not perishabe and can be used as
needed, or can readily be converted
into cash if so desired
But foodstuff will be needed in San
Francisco for some time. even though
the whole country is responding gen
erously in sending such supplies.
Other cities on the coast will also
need assistance, in fact calls have been
made for aid from other points. While
Inc bulk of all shipments have been
sent to San Francisco that city will
be the distributing point for other
places where there is need of help.
LewistoWn will raise in the neigh
borhood of $1,000. $500 Of which vii
be represented in the -four shipment
