WILLIAMS BURG.

Williamsburg, July 25.-One of the
most instructive and delightful enter
tainments this season was that given
here last night in the WEIGH Congre-
gational church by William Apnadox.
a teacher in Chicago university. The
doctors theme was "Welch Melodies
and his knowledge Of the religion,
some of which dates back to a CEN
fury before Christ, and leading on up
in the End, 5th, 9th and 18th centur-
les, his mastery of the themes, his
ability to interpret the rhythm, the
soul of the Celtic music is truly Won
derful. His historical research in
Celtic language cost him thirty four
years of labor and one can expect al
most perfection in such earnest devo-
ton. The scope of Mr.. Apmadoc's
voice showed the master mind In mu-
sic capable of intoning from the
broadcast to the softest and most ex-
quisite note found in these beautiful
melodies. One object of the doctors
visit here is to create an interest suf-
ficient to organize Celtic society for
the purpose Of learning what music
owes to these old bards and especially
to tnhe WEIGH harp, the instrument
which has for centuries presented the
WEIGH ballads.
One of the fastest and most interest
ing games of ball ever witnessed here
was played yesterday between the To-
cal team and the Cherokee Indians.

do the Work-convention Hall to be
Decorated More deliberately Than
Before.

Des Moines, July CIV. B.
Refer, who has been appoint
ed chief usher at the republican state
convention, says he has received over
500 applications for the 100 places on
the list of convention ushers. At for
mer conventions it has been some
times difficult to get even handful
of ushers to attend the convention, but
this year an ushership is being coveted
as choice political honor.
The ushers will almost entirely be
picked from among the members of
the Grant and the Polk County Repub-
lican clubs, though pressure is being
brought to bear on the committee for
the selection of ushers from other cit
les and number Of non-residents Will
be included in the list.
Arrangements for the state conven-
tion were placed In the hands of the
Grant club by the republican state CEN
ral committee. These arrangements
include the selection of ushers, decora-
ton of the hall and printing of badges
and tickets.
w. B. Keffer was appointed chief
usher of the convention by the Grant
club and County Treasurer Charles H.
MurrOW ana JUSTICE II. "A. DuuCaH CIOS-
en- for his assistants. They will have
the selection of the list of 100 ushers
and have already roughly blocked out
the appointments. 1t is expected that
all the ushers will be advised of their
selection by Saturday and the list will
then be made public.
y Capt. H. M. Pickell chief oil inspec
tor who has had charge Of the conven-
ton decorations for many years has
been appointed to that position again
md promises to Guido all previous eff
prts in identifying the Auditorium
With patriotic colors and pictures of
republican leaders.
The state central committee named
Chief of Police Jones for chief door
keeper of the convention hall and he
will have a large staff Of assistant
doorkeepers chosen from among the
convention attendants from various
parts of the state. A special detail Of
regular police officers will also be pro-
vided for the convention and be placed
on guard at its entrances.

another difficulty in the operation Of its
big new engines. which we're hearlded
as being the biggest in the country.
First, it was discovered that the tun-
nels on most of the branch lines would
have to be enlarged to permit the
passage Of the big locomotives, and
now It has been discovered that they
interfere with the mail cranes, which
will have to be moved back about
six feet.
Freight Terminals.
All obstacles to the construction OF
the Rock Island Frisco new freight ter
ninals, in the north end of st. Louis
have been overcome and work will be
pushed from now on with the greatest
energy. 1t is expected to thave the
terminals ready for business in Octo-
Der. They will cover two city blocks
and the approaching tracks another
half block The outbound freight house
will be solid brick structure, $40 feet
long. by "a feet wide. The inbound
freight house will be $40 feet long by
"a feet wide. 1t will be two stories
in height for length of 200 feet, the
second story to be used for offices FOR
the freight department. These freight
houses will have fire-proof walls with
sliding and lift doors to facilitate load
ing and unloading They will be fur
nished with electric power The ter
minals will be furnished with all mod
ern facilities for handling freight. The
total cost of their construction will ex-
coed $1.00O,000. 1t is intended to In
crease the accommodations in the near
future by the erection of a f1ve-story
fire-proof storage warehouse, which Is
estimated to cost $zoO000 additional.
The completion of tAese terminals will
place the Rock Island in much more
commanding position in regard to
freight traffic originating in st. Louis
/ tnan it at present occupies.

Is This the Limit?

That the passengers on the fast eX
press trains of the big trunk lines OF
the United States will be entertained
by vaudeville performances, ETC., while
being whirled across the country Is be-
lieved by J. D. Brown, assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Erie rail-
road, to be an innovation that will be
undertaken by railroads In the near fu-
ture says an Ohio paper. He believes
that this radical departure is practical
and that the road that inaugurates 1t
will fill long felt want and will make
a decided hit with the travelling public.
"For several years." said Mr.. Brown
recently, "all the big lines of the coun-
try have been constantly vying with
each other in equipping their fast
through trains with all modern COM
forts and conyeniences in their effort
to make the journeys of their patrons
as pleasant and luxurious as possible.
In this respect number Of the crack
flyers have about reached perfection.
But in spite of all the luxury and ele-
gance with which some Of these trains
are equipped the traveller is obliged to
provide his own entertainment and
amusement. No matter how luxurious
car may be, most passengers usually
find long journey monotonous and
tedious before they reach their destina-
ton and would hail with delight any
form of amusement.
"Take, for instance, the trip from
Chicago to the Pacific coast. That
journey takes about three days. Very
few passengers can amuse themselves
all that time in reading, playing cards
or looking at the scenery, and they
would gladly welcome any diversion to
break the monotony. 1t would be very
easy to provide a theatrical perform
ance or concert on train. have seen
it done, and it proved big success.
