THE MUSICALE A REVELATION

The Singing Was Without a Peer and
the Voices Showed Careful Train.
ing on the Part Of the
lnstruetress.

Many who attended the musicale at
the opera house last night given by
the musical department of the city
schools had days recalled that will
never come back again, and to those
who looked with many misgiyings on
the introduction Of music as part OF
the curriculum OF the graded school
course left the house last night con.
verted to its being the proper thing.
The program last night was a surprise
and the voices showed training in the
one year that music has been taught
that was revelation. The churuses
were all well rendered. and the octette
of the High school rendered songs
that would be a credit to a profession.
al musician.
Several numbers were rendered
that were not on the program which
were not only well received but were
encored The singing Of Miss Nerna
Eddlcman was a revelation, and the
sweet nute.ikc notes Of the young
lady filed the house with melody and
left a faint lingering OF sweet melody
in the hearts Of the hearers as does
the song of mocking birds in early
spring when he is in search OF his
mate.
The little tots in the motion song
was a surprise and the duet of the
two little misses will be long remem'
bered. The see saw song rendered by
the six little girls and boys brought
forth hearty applause.
John Hoffman lad of about sixteen
years who sang the bass solo was re-
| called and rendered an encore that
was as fine as his first number. Miss
Roberts who sang the morning prayer
as a solo, in the morning invitation
has a well modulated voice that
promises with careful training to have
a wide range.
Prof. Evans in opening the program
after the invocation by Rev. j. w
Sims of the Methodist church, stated
/ that the work OF the night did not
show in the least the amount OF work
done, but that Miss Landrum began
the year with raw material and now
all of them, even the little ones could
sing by note and had good idea OF
the technique OF music. The work OF
the drawing students had been a rev
elation to all of the patrons who Wis
tied the schools within the past few

Ca!LpREA LOVED HIN, TOO

He was loved by all who knew him
and he loved every body he knew, es-
pecially the children OF the world,
and they loved him because he was
gentle, kind and true--this man, who
died last Sunday, was Charles r.
Dockstader, the original minstrel.
Mr., Dockstader was born in Cleve-
land. Ohio, 5S years ago. From his
youth he was an actor. His first
performance before the public took
place in the back yard OF his home
when be was 10 years old, pins ad-
mitted to the show.
For several years Charley" lived
on Washington avenue, with Mrs.
Dockstader, who survives. No chill
dren were born to them. General
sorrow spread amongst the Dock
staders' friends when it was realized
that the illness would prove fatal.
The funeral services on Tuesday
afternoon were participated In by a
large circle OF friends and many vets
of the Civil War, most OF whom were
mem bers Of Joe Hooker Post. A few
professional friends were present, but
many were prevented on account OF
being at great distances from here.

Sea snakes are very plentiful in the
south Pacific. They are widely distrib-
uted, stray individuals having been Sc
cured on the coast Of New. Zealand.
When swimming close to the surface
they resemble an ordinary snake, ex-
cept that the head is always below the
water. At night they come ashore and
lie among the rocks. They feed on fish,

Copper in Africa.

1t is believed by some that the
greatest copper industry in the world
will be developed in the Tanganyika
region, where the properties are Of
great potential value, and may prove
to be one of the greatest factors in
carrying civilization into the heart Of
Africa. Much time is required for de-
velopments. Because of the heavy
speculation in the shares these may
suffer much before the properties be-
come dividend earning. The Ben.
gueles rail- way cannot well be COM
pleted for five years or so, and even
the Rhodesia railways extensions are
now to require a couple of years ere
they can reach the property. Robert
Williams is the pioneer and. in a
great measure. the organizer of this
vast undertaking, one of the most re.
markable of modern times.
