MISS SIMMONS RECITAL AT
BLIND SCHOOL.

Despite the inclement weather all
day Wednesday, the Tennessee
School for the Blind, on Tennessee
street. was favored with a piano re-
cital by Miss Alice c. Simmons, who
is a member of the Junior music class
at Fisk University. The faculty and
students enjoyed this rare treat to
the highest degree. Miss Simmons
played the following:
l. Andante in F. ......... y. Haydn
2. Nocturne in e fiat ...... q. Chopin
g. Spring Song ............. Liebling
4. Sometimes l Feel Like Moth
erless Child" (transcripted
from Jubilee folk-song) ....
..... .....S. Coleridge-Taylor
5. LAntino Mlnuette ..... .Seeboeck
|6. Novembre ...... -. TSchaikowski
Z. Bolero 49,. .-.... MoSkoWskl
8. Valse Caprice ........ Chaminade
The most enjoyable piece on the
program was the fourth number by
is. Coleridge-TayloT, which received a
hearty encore from the students. The
characteristic of these pupils is that
they are all lovers of music and they
delight much in these recitals. The
rain kept quite a number away who
had planned to attend, but an appre-
ciative audience greeted the recital.

this question. When person says a
girl is peach, what does he mean ?
We have all kinds of peaches.-Spring-

The Globe is not an authority on
slang phrases nor does its editor pose
as an expert in answering questions.
The Springfield young man, however,
possibly intends to convey the idea
that he thinks the girl to be defect
able feminine specimen of the genus
homo that appears extremely admira-
BILE to his paternal ancestor.

similar to that frequently ad-
ministered by some of the policemen
of Nashville when making arrests of
men charged of such heinous crimes
as vagrancy. and was left on the street
for dead In less than an hour the
officer in charge of the gunboat nearby,
flying the flag of our country, was
made aware of the outrage and pro.
ceeded to arrest all the police of the
town. Of course, our officer was right
and his actions will be approved by all
patriotic Americans. But wouldn't it
smack more of the Christian spirit Of
which we boast as the bulwarks of our
government-wouldn't it appear more
consistent, if the whole Navy were
sent to some sections of this country
with orders to arrest few of the po-
licemen who beat or shoot up on the
slightest pretext the citizens? One
or two boats could be used with profit
in Nashville. If Capitalization of pow
er would bring about the curbing of
these lords of creation we hope the
day of a strong, centralized govern
ment at Washington is not far distant.

CONSTABLE AS A FISH.
Pony and a Trap Landed by Angler
With Rod and Line.

Two remarkable angling stories
come from Durrus, in Cork county, the
one relating to the attempt made to
land a police constable by means OF
salmon fishing rod and the other to
the strange experience which befell
DR.. Orr, a Huddersfield surgeon, in
the same place, says the Cork County
Eagle.
DIR. Lewis, the medical officer OF Dur
rus, undertook to land any swimmer
in the river in Is minutes, and Con-
stable Kennedy, a noted swimming
champion, consented to act the fish"
A belt was fastened across the con-
stables shoulders and to this was at
tached strong salmon hook. A
lancewood rod and the ordinary sal
mon fishing line were used. The hui
man fish took the water at high tide
and with bold stroke swan out ten
yards. At this distance DR.. Lewis
checked the constable's progress, and
then the fish dived and turned on his
back, but without avail.
For two minutes it was an even
contest between angler and fish, then
the constable swan away for 20 yards,
when he was again brought up. He
Owed and wriggled like an eel, but
not another inch could be add to his
advantage Aften eleven minutes
struggle the angler was gaining
ground; but Constable Kennedy gath
cred strength, and diving, made away
with a powerful stroke. At the four
teenth minute, when only one minute
remained. the salmon line snapped and
the fish was declared the victor.
More remarkable still was the Incl
dent which followed. DR. Orr. of Hud-
dersfield, was flyflshing in the river
when the pony which brought him
from Dunbeacon broke loose from
where it was tied and fell into deep
water with the trap attached. The
pony made frantic efforts to swim
ashore but was hampered by the
weight of the trap.
DR.. Orr, the narrative goes on, was
fishing at the opposite side of the
stream and he threw his line toward
the pony. BY fortunate chance the
| fishing hook caught the pony in the
ear and held fast. The angler pulled
his line and the pony responded, with
| the result that both pony and trap
were safely landed on the shore.
