Mrs. Forney's Song Recital.

A large and distinguished audience,
among whom were many well-known To-
cal musicians, attended the song recital
given by Mrs. Leonora Won Schenck For
ney. wife Of Capt. Forney of the geodetic
survey, in the bali room Of the Cairo last
evening. Mrs. Forney.s voice is a beauti-
full soprano. with both lyric and dramatic
qualities. and shows evidence Of the seri-
GUS work she has been doing for a number
Of years past under william Francis
Parsons Of New York. She also possesses
fine stage presence and a graceful manner
Of delivery. Her program included Ital-
ian, German and English songs. The
opening number. ''vissi Darte" from Puc-
cini's La Tosca," was sung with fine
dramatic effect, and the delightful SIM
plicity Of her ballad singing showed he

to be protege Of Madame Nordica, and

act as missionary of Cancellation to allay
public prejudice. He urged them to make
friends with shippers and patrons Of the
road generally. He told them that when
ever they hear complaint they should
investigate 1t, and remove the cause II
they can. If it is beyond their power, they
should promptly pass it up to the proper
department. 1t is the duty of every en-
ploye of the road to prevent and remove
causes of complaint SO far as they are
able. They should see that everything Is
right: that every patron of the road Is
treated fairly, justly and politely, and Is
satisfied with his treatment.
There Is doubtless a great deal of justice
as well as injustice In the complaints that
are made by certain shippers. but some of
them are amusing. Fer example, half
the cotton mills Of the. south have COM
bined to sue all the railway companies
coast under the new rate bill for dis
eliminating against them and in favor Of
the New England mills in freights to
China. They allege that the latter have
been playing only IS cents hundred

hal and Hongkong, while the rate from
southern points has been $l.25 hundred

liberal treatment may see some significance
in the fact that within the last six months
the Southern Railway Company has in
creased the wages of all its employees from
6 per cent to % per cent. The total num-
Der on the Both OF June, 1906. was 3I,2O0.
Since that date 1t is estimated that the
force has been increased to 1900 men,
of whom IS per cent are white and 20
per cent are colored.
The total amount of the annual payroll
in 1906 was $50 100000 in round numbers.
and by the advance in wages 1t has been
increased about $750,OOO a year. The OBJ
ject of the increase is to recognize and
reward faithful service, to retain in the
employment of the company men of the
best character and efficiency and to enable
the employees to meet the additional ex-
pense Of living. which has occurred all
through this territory as 1t has elsewhere.
The clerical employees and other indoor
men have been advanced 10 per cent. The
conductors, locomotive drivers and other
labor of the highest skill have been ad-
vanced in many cases IS per cent.

TEACHERS PLAN
FOR MORE PAY

Miss Ellen Samworth, chairman OF
fhe committee Of public school teachers.
appointed 10 arrange for the adjust-
ment Of salaries, presided az a largely
attended meeting Of the teachers held
yesterday afternoon at the High
School. The report of the committee was
received and the teachers were highly
gratihed at the work done.
The committee finds the exact sum
necessary for each of the twenty-nine
schools 10 be S2S,S75. The schedule
adopted and presented TO the Board
OF Education deals only Ina minimums,
and is as follows:
For primary school principals, a
minimum Of $500 annually for six
teachers; an increase of S25, or de-
crease Of S25 for every teacher more
or less than six.
Tor high school thcachers, a mini
mum of $3.50.
For grammar school teachers, a min
imum Of $3.50.
For primary school teachers, a minl-
mum of $500 for the third year. For
tho first and second years called the
apprentice years. the salaries are "a
be $3.50 and S425 respectively. Where
there was no basis Of comparison, an
Increase az the discretion Of the board
IS earnestly recommended.
Throughout an the proceedings the
teachers have kept but one object In
view-that Of adjustment and tho
Board OF Education has promised that
this equable adjustment shall not stand
in the way Of recognition by increase
for merit and service as early as they
are able 20 undertake such increase.
The teachers have nothing to do with
the rating into A. B and G classes for
increase. That Is purely function be-
longing TO the Board of Education. The
committee has asked and has been as
sured by City Council OF the appro-
pration OF $4,000 in a lump sum. ovcr
and above the amount asked for by
that body for the next fiscal year, and
