SLEEPING TO MUSIC
Gentle Shores Prove Success o
New "Rest Cure" Now

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July N.-Representatives
of London society were introduced for
the first time last night to Mr.. Ernest

society was practically put TO

Cavendish rooms in Mortimer street,
until more than one Of them visited the
land of Nod
Mr.. Newlandsmith and his assistants
were concealed a part of the time during
the concert behind mass of banked
ferns and palms. After piano intro
duction, God Is My Shepherd" sung
by Miss Kate Fielder, and a violin solo
by Mr. Newlandsmith, caused many of
the jaded society "hustlers' to settle
back in their chairs.
There was practically no intermission
between the numbers, which were
chosen especially for their simplicity
and soporific effect, and the experiment
was such a success that the rendition
at the end of the program of Mendels-
sohn's stirring chorale, Let All Men
Praise the Lord" was very necessary.
When they awoke, several of the
devotees of the new fad felt so rested
that, instead of taking cabs and motor
cars they insisted on walking a part
of the way to the nearest restaurant,
to indulge reinvigorated appetites with
hearty suppers.

the cardinal secretary of state is to be

Cardinal Rampolla is to be placed in

dream was all too extravagant to be

Among the literary curiosities of

SUNDAY CONCERTS
LEAD TO RUPTURE
United Free Presbyterian Church of
Ayre Starts the Ructon, Which
Has Taken on Bitter Per-
sonal Aspect
BY Alex ander Gilmour
Special Gable to The Herald.


GLASGOW, July 19.-It was perhaps
inevitable that the United Free pres
bytery of Ayre, when it came to deal
with the question of Sunday concerts
at Alloway, should have concerned it
self mainly with personal matters. 1t
could not overlook the outspoken and
plain-spoken letter of Mr.. j. b. Fergus
son of Balgath, criticising resolutions
on the conduct of these Sunday con-
certs which had been passed at a previ-
Gus meeting.
So there was hard, if not elegant,
hitting back" like mot the letter of a
gentlepan,' 'discourtesies, insinua-
tions and personalities" departing
from the courtesies which were usually
regarded even in controversy" Mr..
Miilar Patrick and his friends are angry
with Mr.. Ferguson and the Tea Gar
den syndicate, of which he is the
! spokesman. But there is no question
as to the good intentions of this asso-
citation in running the Burns Monument
! hotel and the Tea Garden. Nor has
Mr.. Fergusson's challenge in regard to
the "commercialism" of the syndicat t
been effectually met.
No progress of any kind is made
when the declaration that Mr.. Fergus
son denied that the concerts were car
ried on in disregard of the desire OF
the people of Alloway" is met by the
counter statement There were resi-
dents in the district who empha tically
declared that the preponderance OF
opinion was against the concerts" A
plebiscite of the inhabitants of Alloway
might settle this dispute, but hardly
an assertion on one side or the other
And the point is made that the presby-
terry could easily recommend something
of the kind.
