Paderewski to Play Here Again.

PARIS, June 30.-Ignace Paderews-
XII, the famous Polish pianist, has
entirely recovered from the paralysis
which affected his left side, and will
go to the United States this fall for
an extensive concert tour. 1t is ex-
pected that he will begin in October
or November, and will be under the
management of Charles A. Ellis, of
Boston.
Paderewski was hurt in a railroad
accident near Buffalo, N. Y, during
his last American tour and for nearly
six months suffered from paralysis of
his left side. On April Is of this year
he was sufficiently recovered to give
his first recital at Bilboa, Spain. He
gave that recital principally to test
his ability, and finding that he had
regained his former proficiency, he
gave several recitals in small cities in
France. He is at present on his estate
in Switzerland, which is the mecca
of refugees from Poland many of whom
are penniless and are being supported
by the grand pianist.

Against Action Of Clarke County
Commissioners
RiFUBED TO PAY AUDITORS EXPENSE
WHEN HE ATTENDED ANNUAL
MEETING OF ASSOCIATION
HELD IN SPOKANE.

The County Auditors Association
of the State of Washington is up in
arms over the way the county COM
missioners of Clarke county acted in
regard to the expenses of Auditor
Burnham, incurred while attending the
annual meeting of the association re-
Gently held at Spokane, is the report
that comes from Vancouver.
Of all the auditors attending the
convention, which is held for the pur-
pose of improving the auditing system
of the entire state, Auditor Burnham
was the only delegate who was forced
to pay his own expenses. 1t has al
ways been the custom of the county
commissioners of all the counties of
the state to defray the travelling ex-
penses and at least the hotel charges
of auditors attending the annual con-
ventions of the auditors conven-
ton.
AS a result of the refusal of the
Clarke county commissioners to pay
Auditor Burnham's expenses, the as
ISOLATION will at the next meeting of
the legislature introduce a bill making
it a state law for the county to pay
these expenses. 1t has never been ne
cessary to take this action, as this is
the first time such stand has been
taken by board of county commits
sioners in this state.
The reason for the refusal of the
commissioners to allow Mr.. Burnham
his expenses is the stand he took re-
Gently in regard to the liquor license
question at Ridgefield. Two of the
three commissioners desired to grant
a liquor license at Ridgefield in the face
of strong petition signed by persons
representing 80 per cent of the proper
ty of the town. Everything went well
until Burnham, as clerk of the county
board of commissioners, published, ac-
cording to law, a summary of the bus
mess done by the commissioners, in
Guiding the stand each one took on the
saloon question at Ridgefield.
Since then there has been trouble
between the two commissioners and
Burnham When it came to allowing
the auditor for his trip to Spokane
the two commissioners set their foot
on granting it, while the htird men,
Der of the board was strongly in favor
of making the allowance. Neither Of
the two commissioners who refused
to grant Burnham his expenses will
make statement nj regard to the af-
fair, saying that it is no ones business
but their own.

ARE TO FISH FOR GREEK STATUES
Two Specially Equipped Steamships
Have Started for the Aegean
Sea by Italy.

GENOA, Italy, June 30.-Two spec
tally equipped steamships with crew
of divers have started from here for
the Aegean sea, following a contract
between the government of Greece and
the Genoa Society for the Recovery of
Vessels, to hunt for Grecian statues
and other works of art which sank
with a vessel wrecked near the island
of Cerigotto about two thousand years
ago. The valuable sculptures formed
part of a load which was on its way
to Rome, to be used in identifying that
city. The place of the wreck was re-
Gently discovered accidentally by a
Greek diver, who brought up statue
valued at about $500. 1t was known for
a long time that the ship with its
valuable cargo was wrecked in the Ae-
gean sea, but not until recently was
the exact spot located. Judging from
the sample brought up by the locky
diver it is believed that many valuable
treasures Of antique art will be re-
covered.

Mount Herman School Instituted Is
Years Ago
BIG TINE EXPECTED At EAST MORTIFIED
MANY PROMINENT EDUCATIONAL
MEN ARE IN ATTENDANCE AND
WILL SPEAK.

EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass, June
3O.-Twenty-five years ago Mount
Hermon school was founded by Mr..
Moody, the late evangelist. The ami
versary is being appropriately observed
at the school and the celebration of the
silver jubilee will last until and in
Guiding next Tuesday. More than sew
en- hundred alumni and former students
of the scnool are here to attend the
celebration.
Mount Hermon has this distinctions
While many other institutions found
ed with definite objects in view have,
with the passing years, departed from
the ideals of their founders, it has
remained steadfast to the essential
features which Mr.. Moody had in mind
when he established the school. Mount
Hermon still keeps it's tuition at $50
per term, and makes an education pos
sible for the poor boy and wage earn
err who desires to make an effort to
obtain it, Mr.. Moody further believed
in teaching boys wholesome ideas re-
garding manual labor and knowledge
of different kinds of work, cOnse-
quently each boy must put in two hours
day at labor. Practically all work
about the buildings and on the farm
is done by the students. The school
property, including campus and farm.
comprises about one thousand acres.
During the past twenty-five years
more than five thousand students have
received their education at that in
stitution and the present annual en-
rollment is four hundred, with always
a long list of applicants awaiting for
enrolment.
The program for the celebration in
cludes several meetings with addresses
by members of the faculty and alumni,
religious exercises, an exhibition of the
work done by the students and several
musical and literary entertainments.
