Shocking of the change of venue in the Berner bay cases, thc Jun eau Transcript says;
 A judge should try the case in accordance with the law and the evidence, for there is another man higher up, to whom tho lawycf who thinks he didn't get a square iesl can appeal. Of what good is an honest judge to any people ii, when his honesty is Qucstioned by some attorney working for con. tlngent fee, he etops "hewing" and hands his ax over to some mar Tho will make the chips fall where some attorneys want them to fail. And all the worse for the mine owner when the "hewer" to tako .he ax is q man to whom the sen 1te of the United States mas refused .o give a certificate that he will let he chips fall in the basket of justice.

A New Position,

John S. Brophy, of this place, super
intendent of the Piedmont and Georges
Creek Coal Company, has been appoint
ed general manager of the McGraw Coal
Company, headquarters in the town of
Grafton, West Va. The appointment
was made two weeks ago and IA few
days later Mr.. Brophy assumed full
charge. Though in the prime of life
Mr.. Brophy is ripe in experience as a
mining manager. Heis of popular turn,
too, and held in high esteem by all in his
employment as well as by his fellow
citizens. For this cause Frostburgers
are glad that his newly assumed re-
sponsibilities will occasion no change of
his residence. 1t has since TRANSFERRED
that the company is new organization
owning 5000 acres of coal land. and
mining about 500 tons daily. John
Heating, of Cumberland, is secretary and
treasurer, and Col. John Z. McGraw, a
prominent West Virginlan, is the
president.

Rhondda Valley Concert Party.

1t was Il house well filed at the Mes
bitt last evening and there was enthusi-
asm III proportion to the size Of the audi
ence. The fervor was noticeable at the
beginning and the two arrangements of
Welsh alrs-the second one the we'll
known Men of Harlech' were calcu-
lated to set the pulse aStir. And they
did, too. While one was sitting under
the spell of these, and waiting for more
from the mems chorus to confirm his
judgment, the solo episodes began-the
charming Kiss song or Ardite from Miss
Moses, who was recalled in a way that
left no doubt at all about it. Then
Robert Hughes i'll baritone solo, we'll
received, and then APP. Shenkyn, the
harplst, OIL whom much stOle was set,
and who was much proclaimed in adj
vance. 1t was John Thomas Echoes
of the Materially he played, with abso-
luteiy clear execution and dainty phrase
and withal such clear manipulation that
the Interference of sound waves, so
often bugbear of harp playing was
quite absent. He has big tone, too,
and the harp's pedal tones We're rich and
round. He wouldn't take the encore
which was hearty and genuine. Then
another glee in ballad Style-Pugh
Evans Lovely Maiden" That rendi-
ton seemed to clinch the suspicion that
the chorus is very fine one. That's
pretty general. Let's particularize.
The balance is good; the blend quite
tiawless. This is not only the blend of
the whole body, but of the sections.
And the Lovely Maiden" showed this
plainly, because so much of the phrases
were in legatos that demanded even
notes, held firmly and intertwined, as it
We're, amicably Besides the tone quail
ity is so fine. The harmony is clear and
not open to suspicion and there is no
"muddiness." Nor was there the rather
"clOying" sweetness of the Treorchy
choir, for the voices seemed to be better
placed; to be more resonant and more
reaching, as it were In mass the first
tenors We're enough varied in quality to
give piquancy to the tone. And yet
they melted together like a violin sec
ton of an orchestra. In the academic
requirements of the male chorus the
choir was proticient-precislon, attack,
accent, graduation of stress and nuance.
These We're shown we'll enough in the
De Rifle number. Now while the
TreOrchy choir, so recent Il memory, had
much of the expressive" or executive"
! ammunition of the male choir, they were
not blended either as a whole or III
parts, as well as the singers we heard
last night, nor was their ensemble quail

A Wonder.

John Shields, of Ocean, wellknown
for artistic woodwork and almost un-
accountable skill i'll construction inside
of bottles, was i'll town recently with
one of his latest accomplishments.
This is quart-size glass bottle, with
neck about 3l2 inches long and body of
cubic form. The latter was filled with
crosses, ladders, wooden fans, etc, all
complete in construction and fine in
finish. The neck was filled with a
stopper extending far enough down for
double bracing, and the top ornamented
with wooden ball cut from the interior
of the crown.
Construction and finish required much
work, skill and patience, and the
mystery remains-how, after fashioning
all of it outside, did he put it together
inside the bottle?
