Great Musical Advantages At Converse
 College

AOAtESf
 Few probably realize that here in the South. opportunities for the study of Music are offered that bring prac- ticaily the same advantages that a young lady seeks in the large cities Of the North at much heavier expenses.
 It would be difficult to duplicate such combination of features as can be found at Converse College, Spartan burg, s. c. l Course in Piano. Pipe organ. Violin. Voice. Theory, Harmony. History of Music. and Music Apprecia- tion carry the students over the same ground attempted in the standard con- servatories.
 2-Two degrees are offered, A. Mus ond B. Mus. the former requiring sup plementry literary work. and the latter dealing extensively with theoretical topics. Certificates in each musical subject. with out the literary branches. are also given.
 3-The equipment of the department is in a commodious building, apart from the rest of the college, containing hfty-six plano rooms, a large three manual Pipe Organ. (costing S11.000) and an elegantly appointed auditorium with 2500 seats and every modern con- venienee, such as can be found only in the best opera houses.
 4-The noted artists of the world are employed to give recitals during the session, which are free to all music students.
 5--The great Annual Music Festival successfully conducted for 1l years. has given OrRtorios Operas, etc, before audiences of over 1000 at each enter tainment, and has employed for this purpose The New York Symphony Or chestra, (Walter Damrosch, Conductor.) the world fame vocalists (Sembrisch Gadsii, Blauevelt, Homer. Campanari. Bispham, etc) and many of the most noted lnstrum entalists.
 e-The Director of Music Is a recog- nized leader in Musical matters in this ment by the United States Government to prepare It's authoritative reports on Musical Education in the United States As President for two years of the Nat ional Music Teachers Association, as an Editor of the Musician and the Mes senger, and as author of text book in his line of work, Mir. Manchester has been well known for years in the best musical circles.
 1.-The head teacher of the piano de- pertinent was for many years on the teachers, stan of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, and has good reputation as a composer.
 S--The demand for graduates with the, A. Mus, degree from Converse as music teachers is far greater than we can supply. and high salaries await those who 1t themselves for such positions. For catalogues address Converse College Spartanburg, S. c.

Judge Toulmin in past years has work ed in the Northern District for sixteen months. as we'll as the writer, and he has not the least doubt if the statistics of cases disposed or were traced up during Judge Toulmin's service that if would show his record for cases dis posed of" has not been surpassed Judge Meek, Judge Boarman and Judge Shelby have each held terms in the district, and their record for the time engaged will certainly show as many cases disposed of, as the work of either of the regular judges of the dis trict for the same time. and upon the same class of business.
 Confessedly. is is embarrassing to q judge to have to write upon such mat ters at all; but justice to all con- cerned seems to require 1t in this in- stance. It would have been easy 10 avoid appearing to take part in such discussion by givng the facts to the local reporters at Huntsville, and ask ing them to send out counter-specials from there. It seemed to the writer, however, better to adopt the direct method. and give out the facts over his own signature. Thos. c. Jones

The street fair and carnival given

1t proved one of the biggest sue,

the people from the hayfields to the
carnival, and it's an easy bet that nc
one regretted being delayed a day OF
two with his farm work. There was
a good sized crowd Friday and on

day made what will probably stand
as a record in Wallowa county for
good many years to come. For 10
long innings the opposing batsmen
tried vainly to pound his puzzline
curve and change of pace to safe
place. Not a safe hit in 10 innings
puts Kehn up in the select company
of no hit pitchers, along with Cy
Young, Mathewson ct al. No hits in
the regulation nine innings is a big
thing for a pitcher to do, only
few each season accomplishing that
which thousands strive to do, but
Kehn's feat of no hits in 10 innings
has been duplicated but once this
season-by Wiltsie of the New York
Giants against the Brooklyns.
