Indiana Talent Honored.

THE Musical Leader of Chi
cago, which is also the official or
gan Of the New York State Music
Teachers Association, in a recent
number gives the place of hon Or
on its first page to tht portraits
of two young ladies whose faces
were once familiar and whose
family names are still known and
honored in Northern Indiana. 1t
also publishes the following COM
plimentary notice of work which
they are doing.
Helen M. Gilmore and Bertha
Mcdonald are two Chicago wom-
en- who have recently completed
a group of exceptionally good
songs which are soon to be pub
lished. Mrs. Gilmore is respon-
sible for the music and Mrs. Nc
Donald for the poems. Mrs. Gil
more has also made a very beau
tiful setting for Mrs. Browning
Rhyme of the Duchess May"
Both the rhyme and the songs
are being used by the leading ar
fists here and also in New York,
where they were very enthusiast
tically received at the time of
Mrs. Gilmore's eastern visit a
month ago. The group includes
Songs of the Sum- for baritone /;
Song of Leaf" and "Autumnal
Sonnet" for mezzo; "The Valley
of Happiness" Summer is Com
ing" and Dream Golden" for
soprano, and isles of the BEST"
for alto. Both words and music
of these songs have been pro-
nounced as remarkable for their
originality and for the fneness
and beauty of thought expressed.
The works are the joint express
sion of educated artistic minds"
The Times finds great pleasure
i'll ongratulating these ladies on
the success they are achieving
and the recognition they have OBJ
tanned from SO high a musical au-
thority. 1t can not, however, per-
NIT the glory to be absorbed by
Chicago. Both are natives of
Plymouth, Ind, Mrs. Bertha R.
Mcdonald is the daughter of the
late DIR. Reynolds, prominent
physician of that place who met a
tragic death in railroad acct
dent two years ago. Her hus-
band, Louis, is the worthy son of
Hon. Daniel Mcdonald, for many
years editor and proprietor of the
Plymouth Democrat and several
times member of the Indiana leg
.islature. Her marriage took place
in connection with an excursion
of the Northern Indiana Editor
ial Association to New Mexico
and the Southwest. Mrs. Gil
more is the daughter of Mr.. Plat
Mcdonald, who was associated
with his brother Daniel in news
paper work at Plymouth, and she
is therefore a cousin of Mrs. Nc
Donald's husband.
The ladies are instructors in
the Columbia Musical School at
Chicago, of which Mr.. Louis Nc
Donald is the manager. AS stated
in The Leader, the songs and
music. are soon to be published
and they ought to have a ready
sale in this part of the country,
not only for the merit which they
undoubtedly possess, but as
home appreciation of Indiana tai
ent that has been so pleasantly
recognized and honored in both
New York and Chicago.-South

SENATOR RAYNER CALLS
UPON THE PRESIDENT
Fifth Democrat to Discuss Rate Legis-
lation With Roosevelt in
Two Days.

Another Democratic Senator called al
the White House today upon invitation
of the President 10 discuss the railroad
rate bill This time it was Senator Isl
dor Rayner of Maryland, who has been
particularly active against the railroads
since he entered the Senate.
Like the other Senate Democrats who
have called at the White House In the
last few days. Senator Rayner was ex-
tremely reticent about the nature of the
conference with the President He ad-
mitted that rate legislation was the sub
ject of discussion, but would not make
any statement about what was said by
the President or himself. Mr.. Rayner
is of the opinion, however. that a rate
bill will be passed, and he believes the
majority will be larger than is now
expected
Senator Rayner is the fifth Senate
Democrat to DISCUSS the rate question
with the President in the last two days.

argument could have been forestalled II
the District Committee haG made pro-
vision in the bill for reducing the super
vision expenses of the system, a step
which had been recommended by some
in the public hearings on the school
question. This. however. was not done.
After a careful review Of the sitIa-
tion today. friends OF the bill conclud-
ed that the best thing to be said of the
bill now is that its chances for passage
by the House are problematical. with
q probability that II viii get through
after a stormy passage. Above all, II
is certainty that all elements inter
ested In the schools will be trying 10

COMMISSIONERS WIN ONE POINT.

The District Commissioners. whose
views were embodied In the Babcock bill,
gained one point in the group of changes
just enumerated. They were allowed TO
retain the privilege of appointing the
board, although their contention that
its membership should not be enlarged
was fatty disregardcd by the committee.
The increases in salary formed a uni
versal victory, for they were advocated
by those who wanted reform in the
schools, and were the only changes
which the Commissioners would admit
as desirable
Reformers of the system asked these
further changes: Appointment OF a new
officer, to be called the superintendent
of buildings and supplies. to have charge
of the school buildings and their main
tenance; control OF the colored schools
and classes by the colored assistant su-
perintendent of schools: persons ap-
pointed as teachers must pass examina-
tions showing their qualifications for the
work: a commission 10 consolidate the
schools and get rid OF unnecessary
buildings and sites.
All these were granted in emphatic
terms in the bill reported yesterday.
Meets With General Approval.
It is worthy Of special comment, in
eDumerating the new features OF the
new bill. that the measure as whole
meets with the appreciation of all par
ties concerned. II seems a fOregone con-
clusion that 1t viii be supported by ali
sides interested in the teachers and the
schools. And this fact establishes the
nil On <1rr,, acfG Of --,1
Teachers and their friends, official and
unofficial. were Jubilant today because OF
the increases in salaries. and the admis-
sion was made that the changes, which
at frst were disliked, will be cham
pioned.
These changes were incorporated into
the bill from bills introduced by Repre-
sentative Foster of Vermont. and Repre-
sentatiyes Olcott and Goulden Of New
York. These gentlemen are deeply in
terested in the schools and IL was large
ly due TO them that the present salts
factory measure is before the House
No small amount OF praise Is due TO
Representatives Morrei and Greene, who
did the bulk of the work of framing the
measure. Their speech in having II
acted on by the full committee will tend
to- give II better chance for passage
by the House. AS things now stand 70
may be taken up by the House on Mon
day next or two weeks from that day.
Passage Will Be Holly Contested.
The passage of the bill. however. Is
by no means assured. A savage attack
on IL will be made by the Committee on
Appropriations, which fights pretty
much all bills reported from committees
other than itself carrying aporcpria-
tons.
On the other hand. there are many
friends of the teachers in the member
ship Of the House who will remind the
committee of a promise made in the last
Congress that the teachers should have
more pay this year. The reason which
the committee will give for opposing the
bill will be, of course, that the District
school system is too expensive 10 admit

The provision in the bill governing
promotions of teachers in salaries

vided, without action Of the Board OF
