A Chorus Class.

ed a chorus class Of young

going to fill the long felt want.
Miss Freese teaches these little foiks

correct enunclation, breathing etc,
ard they are very apt and enthusi-
astic. They will learn many things
which some older folks have never
learned and which are absolutely es-
ksntial to good singing. Many aof
tie class have good voices, and un-
De- the care Of their entirely com
netent teacher they will make good
singers.
After awhile wouldn't it be a
good idea to take this class, and
Others II necessary, and present
some pretty little opera? These little
folks are trartable as well as
teathable, and they would soon
learn a bright, catchy cantata or
musical play. And when they pre-
serted it there would be no va
cant seats in the hall.

Two Good Women Dead.

Death has been busy in this coun-
" lately. and on last Saturday two
good women were cut down by the
relentless scythe which, sooner
or later. will add us all to the
ever-increasing harvest.
Mrs. Emmeline Diamond, widow
uf Tavid Diamond, OF Deephole
branch. died Of general debility. She
had been ON invalid for many years
hut almost to the last she was a
tire'ess worker, mostly for others.
She was the mother of fifteen chill
tren. thirteen OF them living to man.
and womanhood. II Mrs. Dia-
mond had done nothing more than
bear and rear these children she
richly deserves the crown which with.
out doubt she will receive from
the Just Judge. But she was alsC
a most excellent neighbor, a devot-
ed Christian and a friend to those
who needed friendship. She was
a sister of Sylvester Bradley ant
by birth and marriage related tC
some Of our best people.
On the same day that witnessed
Mrs. Diamonds demise Elizabeth wifi,
Of Rev. J. S. Thompson, was eallsc
70 her reward. This sad even
occurred at her home near tht
mouth Of Georges Creek, after al
illness Of only a few days. Pneu
monia, one of the most fatal o.
diseases, was the cause OF tn,
taking off OF this estimable wo
man. She was the daughter O
the late William Moore, was g.
years OF age. and was the mothe
OF seven children. She was a goot
woman, and
Meme knew her but to love her.
None named her but to praise"
Mrs. Diamond and Mrs. Thompson
were buried on the same day, Mrs
Thompson at her former home ol
Little Blaine and Mrs. Diamond nea
the home where she had lived an
/ died.

son.
Publishers PreSs.1

Cincinnati, Jan. 6.-Does it cost
much to buy recruits for team?
Ask President Hermann of the
Reds for an affirmative answer. He
will tell you that up to Jan. 1, 1907,
the Cincinnati club will have invested
the sum of S25,962 in players during
the twelve-month preceding, and the
talent for 1907 will cost even more,
as second payment must be made on
some of the new men if they are re-
tanned by the local club.
Salaries, railroad fares and hotel
bills are not the only expenses that
baseball club has during a season, =
said President Hermann. THE pur-
chase of new men is a much greater
item than is generally credited. Our
books show that from Jan 1, 1906 up
to the present time we have expended
the enormous sum of 1886 for play
ers. OF course, we offset this partial
ly by the sums of money we received
from the sale of Seymour Hinchman,
Carr, Barry and few other players
early in the season, and of the bunch
we disposed of at the recent league
meeting. At the same time our ex-
penditures are far in excess of our
receipts in the matter of Transactions
for players. Ten, too, there are sew.
eral players on our list who are with
US on condition. that they make good
If they deliver the goods for us in the
spring, we will be obliged to make
further payment for them. If they
fail to make good, they revert to the
clubs from which we bought them.
1t is safe to say, however, that the to-
tai cost of players for next season
will foot up to 100000 by the time we
are ready to announce the men who
will form our permanent team

Mrs. Russell Says says that the diff
ference between women's clubs and
mems clubs is that women start a
club with an object in view, an ambi.
ton to attain. Men have nothing in
view beyond material comforts
A woman's club organized for the
object of selfculture alone, is of more
value to the community than any of
the so-called social clubs of the men
organized for some place to spend
their evenings. But the up-to-date
woman's club does not exist for cul-
ture alone. Primarily, that is the OBJ
ject, but with the culture and knowl-
edge that comes TO the club woman
from the preparation of club papers.
comes also the realization that her in.
fiuence means something in the world
in which her child must get his edu-
cation and eventually his living. She
must know the conditions in order to
properly prepares him to meet them.
A intelligent motherhood is one OF
the most forceful influences for good
in the world today. The club that
does no work outside of its literary
and social duties is an unusual one.
Take our Richmond clubs for in
stance. No one would say they have
not been potent factors in the high
standard Richmond has attained along
educational musical and artistic
lines The clubs have been behind
the manual training and yhpsical cul-
ture introduced in our schools, and
have encouraged and assisted free kin
dergartens. The women who work
in our church societies, associated
charities and free kindergartens are
all club women. So the old theory
that the club would cause the women
to neglect the home duties and work
in the church has been exploded.

next year almost every country fell in

sorry to tell you that he didn't. Every
promise has been broken.
.In 1890 rubber was discovered in
the Kongo. Next the question arose
to collect the rubber and bring it to
me? 1 know. I'll do it in the name of
taxation
.'The natives now are compelled to
bring the king of Belgium in rubber
and ivory, about 100000 worth of
goods a year. To get the natives to
collect the rubber to pay this tribute
to the king of Belgium the worst atroc-
tiles known to modern civilization are
practiced upon them. The most COM
mon form is to cut the hands or feet
from their bodies, so that they may be
an example to those who are recreant
about collecting the rubber. Three
million of these savages have been
killed in the last few years, and the
number which have been mutilated is
beyond computation
