some other recent affairs, and in view
of the, fact that he is a native Of
South Carolina, this sketch will be in
teresting to the readers Of The State.
The sketch was written by J. B.
McKissiek, and is as follows:
'sErnest Albert Darlington, lately
created a brigadier general Of the
United States army, was born in New
berry, S. c., on the 10th of February,
1853. His father, Albert Crosswell
Darlington, graduated from Franklin
college with the first honors Of his
class in 1912. A few years later, his
uncle, Robert Darlington, graduated
from the South Carolina college with
the first honors Of his class. Albert
CressweM Gar fington's grandfather,
Christopher Darlington, married Ann
Conway, who was the daughted OF
Col. Edwin Conway and Elizabeth
Ball. the daughter Of Col. Joseph
Ball, of Epping Forest, Va, and a
half sister Of Mary Ball, the mother
of that great Virginian, George Wash
ineton. The earliest record OF the
Darlington family appears in the land
books Of Virginia pertaining to
Northumberland county in 1854.
"On his mothers side, Ernest A.
Darlington is descended from John
satterwhite Of Ninety-Six district,
South Carolina. member Of the pro-
yiucial congress for that state. And
50 it will be seen that Gen. CARING
ton does credit to a distinguished an
cestrv and that he has proud right
TO call himself in every sense an
American. :.

mary department Of Newberry college
in 1860: attended in desultory fash

of 1871, upon the recommendation OF
that department. he was given posi-

the Northeastern railroad. After as.

A young Chicago woman aspires 10
be a smoke inspector. She says the
smoke nuisance is serious, and she
does not see why women should not
be useful in checking 1t. The pay
does not attract her, but the oppor-
tunity to do good. If she can pass
civil service examination, and there Is
no reason to doubt her ability, there
will be no legal obstacle in the way OF
her appointment. The average wom-
an as smoke inspector would put into
her work a degree of devotion and
zeal which a man is incapable OF, says
the Chicago Tribune. Where men dis
like smoke, women hate 1t. 1t dirties
their clothes. 1t smuts their faces.
1t nullifies the labor of the washer
woman. 1t is abhorrent to them In
q hundred different ways. An inspec'
tor of any kind who is not full OF en-
thusiasm for his work, and who goes
on with 1t merely to draw his month
" pay, never accomplishes much. II
Is because women have enthusiasm
that they make the best kind OF In
spectors in certain fields OF labor
They are able to see shortcomings II
which the average man is blind.

A dozen of more women's colleges.
including Barnard, Wellesley, Vassar

collegiate association of students
whose purpose it is to establish
student government instead of facul-
fy control in all the institutions repre-
scented. Barnard is already practicing
this system and students have almost
everything under their own charge ex-
cept instruction. The plan is said TO
be great success, the girls being

If every Utah singer could have the
tribute rendered to Miss Jennie Sands last
night in the concert given at the Salt Lake
theatre, there would never be another
word about lack of appreciation No finer
audience has ever greeted a group of per-
formers in this city, and almost it may
be said, no better program was ever put
before a Salt Lake audience.
Interest centered largely in the singing
of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend, whose voice
was heard for the first time here, and
who made such an impression that at the
close Of her last number, the last, too. on
the program. the audience was lOath to
leave and clamOred for more. Mrs. Town
sends first number was The Pearl of
Brazil" for which Willard Eastman
played the flute obligatO. and no better Sc
lection could have been found to show the
wonderful quality of her pure soprano
voice. The tones of the flute and those
Of the voice were so blended that il was
almost impossible to tell where one ended
and the other began Mrs Townsend
sang as an encore for this number a
dainty little lullaby Of her own compost
ton, set TO the words Of Wordsworth, and
composed for the Princess of Wales. Her
second number was the magnificent caro-
Nome, "afrOm ''RigOlettO," which was an
other number admirably adapted to her
voice. This was the first appearance OF
Mrs. Townsend on any stage, although she
has long been known as a drawing room
singer of note.
Stecke1berg, whose magnificent program
OF the evening before was almost lost for
lack of an audience, was greeted with the
recognition his work deserves from his
first number TO his last. His opening Sc
lection was the adagiO from the suite
of Ries, which was requested by Mrs
Townsend and played for her special
pleasure. This was followed By THE
Bee" by Schubert and lie Cygne." Later
he played the splendid canZOnet 'Trau-
meTef' and some southern melodies, all of
which were received with thunderoUs ap-
plaUse.
Arthur Shepherds concerto by Tschai-
kowski, with MIR. Stephens accompanying
on the second piano, was a fine number,
and Miss Sands playing of the two open
ing numbers by Chopin and Mcdowell
won for her great amount of applause.
Mr.. Brines was the first vocalist of the
evening and made splendid impression
