The Schehlmann Memorial Organ
at College Park, Va.-A Project
Started by the Late Miss Anna

The Schehlmann Memorial Organ
at College Park, Va.-A Project
Started by the Late Miss Anna
Metzger.
When Miss Anna Metzger was first
called to Randolph Macon Woman's
College at College Park, Va, her work
was in association with that of the late
Professor Schehlmann, whom at his
death year or two later she succeeded
as the head of the musical department.
In her characteristic spirit of generous
appreciation of the work of another,
she started the project of providing an
organ in the new college schapel as a
memorial to Professor Schehlmann
She was not permitted to see the COM
pletion of her undertaking, but it is a
source of deep qualification to her
friends to know that the organ has
been installed. 1t will stand as
monument to her generous and enthus-
iastic spirit; as we'll as memorial to
her predecessor.
The following is an extract from a
letter to Mr.. George Metzger, Sr., from
Mrs. w. B. Lane, a member of the
faculty at Randolph Macon, under date
of the 9TH inst
Last Saturday night the V. P. l.,
Glee Club, under the direction of Mr..
Frank Abbott, gave concert in the
college chapel for the benefit of the
Schehlmann Memorial Organ, an en-
terprise which Miss Metzger launched
last year. She wsuld have been glad
dened to see the fine instrument that
her thoughtfulness and resource and
musical magnetism were largely instru-
mental in securing for the college, as
it stands in it's nave in it's new chapel
That of course was not to be, but
thought you might be interested to
know of the success cf her project.
And also feel like telling you of the
profound impression that was made
upon the audience, consisting of town
people and students, when the Glee
Club sang hymn set to one of Miss
Metzger's own compositions. The tri-
butte of silence that was eloquent, and
of tears that would not stop, manifest
ed the double influence of her musical
power and of her beloved memory over
the hearts of the people who knew her
and of those who knew her not. And
/ am sure that the public here, as we'll
as her private friends, who are many,
will not let her memory die easily or
soon among as"

Letter to Tax Payers of Shippen.

EDITOR PRESS
Fellow citizens of Shippen! do not
feel that l disgraced the public who
elected me in 1906 Supervisor, nor the
man who appointed me Road Master in
1905. / have worked no other mans
team in my name. l will show by my
report only $50 hours for my team and
teamster. While the general funds
lasted, in six months l don't say that
our bill was not big on West Greek.
Two iron bridges were erected and
four stone bridges and iron for another
bridge. 1t has cost Shippen township
nearly $3.50 to pay the Road Master to
meet with the Supervisors. If the law
was enforced to meet twelve times
year it would have been only half the
price and reduce livery bills one ehalf.
| asked the President of the Board of
Supervisors why we should meet every
two weeks, when he replied that "they
could not live on their creek without
meeting every two weeks" / can
show teams and teamsters for all the
teams | hired and who drove them.
Hit where it may, my January report,
dated JAM Goth, 1907, for men and
teams, was S72 25, for filing the Beech.
wood bridge approach. Jan. 26th, 1907,
the report on main stream was eighty
hours, for one man and fifty hours for
team, $36 90. am not in the ''ring,n
neither am a coward.

Sterner, >Chas. Shives, Cliff. S. .-arrabee
and Geo. A. Walker. The circle form
ed in the above order with Prof. A. @.
Brehm's orchestra elevated upon a
platform at the rear of stage called a
hearty reception when the curtain was
"rung' up The songs sand Jokes were
hugely appreciated and pleased the
vast audience. The boys very credit
ably filled their parts and for almost
three hours entertained far above the
travelling minstrels. They did not run
out of material and had time permitted
could have added many pleasing fea-
lures, After the first part Prof j. w.
Lee, the champion slack wire walker,
entertained the audience and was good.
The favorite dancers, Jos Farrell and
Dawson Wright came in for hearty
encore as did Sam Parks with his old
time jig dance. ''Lafayette'' Leon Felt
and "LaCardo" Quigley in their slight
of hand tricks were clever Prof
Buckley in his contortion acts met
with favor, as did Prof Fisk's saw
wood musical tricks. j. NJ Dawson
delighted the audience with a cornet
solo and was called to the front twice.
Space will not permit us to particu
larize further, yet we must state that
the success of the entertainment is
largely due to the persistent and hard
work of NJ. j Harris, the manager, who
was ably assisted by Mr.. Brehm, who
gave much time and declined to accept
one penny for his services. The boys
will make the minstrel feature per-
maneut thing, believing the plan will
please the general public more than
dances and entertain all classes The
net proceeds were S24533.
