Music speaks all languages, and it
was not necessary to read German
in order to appreciate Itch Ltebe
Dich" as rendered by John Hedgcoxe,
first tenor. He also sang in English,
Were / Gardner of the Skies" And
still the audience demanded more, to
which petition he responded. Mr..
Hedgcoxe's reputation as a musician
is based mainly upon his performances
as an orga1ist. But to b simple
soul his singing is even better.
The only criticism we eel compe,
tent to offer on the entire entertain
ment is hat one or two more numbers
by the quartet and more singing by
the whole club would have improved
the program. Tell Me With Your
Eyes, by the Club, vas a decided hit
and in response to enthusiastic ap
plause they sang "The Village Day
School,"
Mr.. Albert A. White, musical direct
or sang in German, Thinking OF
Thee" by Beethoven, and in English
"The Carrier Pigeon" by Schubert
followed by Caesars Lament" ere

in succession, he was recalled ant

ment than the approval OF the aud
fence is necessary as a testimonial

bers of the evening. These singers
are so well known that they were
generously applauded before they be
gan to sing, and the audience was
not satisfied until they had responded
again and again, the last time witt
an original composition containing
some happy local touches.
Then came again Mr.. White with
the series, (a) Forever and a Day.
(b) Dreaming Days." and (c) Love
is a Bubble" There's melody in the
very words OF the second piece, such
lines as Dreamy days an gleamy
days." for instance, and Mr.. White
increased its lyrical beauty by his
expression. The third selection all
depends upon the singer, and in this
he did better perhaps than in either
of the other pieces.

THE APOLLO CLUBS
FIRST APPEARANCE.

The Apollo Club in its first public
concert, held at the Presbyterian
church last night made a good begin
ming in its purpose to elevate musical
taste IA Roswell. The Record had
been promised a report by a man who
understands music, but unfortunately
the gentleman was called away this
morning, and the task has been turn
ed over t one of the philistines to
write something different" By the
way, something different was prom
ised in the announcements of the
entertainment, and objection was rails
ed to one enthusiastic writer over
working the term classical" After
hearing the music, we are willing to
let the term stand, with the definition
given it by Lowell: "a classic is a
production which can be simple with.
out being vulgar, elevated without be,
ing distant, and which is something
neither ancient nor modern, always
new and incapable Of growing old"
Without listeners and humble ad
mirers all performances would be
useless. Those who actually kow al
the technicalities are apt to be toe
critical to fully appreciate. Certainly
one may love even the highest in mu
sic without much knowledge of its
mechanics, just as one may enjoy
the beauty and fragrance of the rose
without knowing the secrets of its
growth or the chemistry of its per
fume.

MAGDALENA BAY, March, 30
She sat in the doorway of her tiny
shack home overlooking thes scar
let-blue waters of the great bay
and beheld a new wonder.
Sometimes dimply PaquitE Con
zalez had marveled at pink shells
washed at her feet, often hah she
heard the eagles scream, wonder
ed at the hoarse Quack of the silly
gull, the pitiful mourning of the
disconsolate loon, and many time
had she seen in her front-door yard
the bobbing small craft of the Mex
lean traders.
These had been things amazing
certainly, but here today are new
and very strange objects which fill
the brown eyes of the baby peon
| with dream of mighty city
| reared in an hour under the shadow
Of her humble home; sure enough
white city in her bay, with glitter
ing avenues and towering steeples
all shining in the golden sun.
| And then there are the strangest
people dressed beautifully in white
and blue, and gold, and hurryine
and scurrying about in way thai
Paquita has never seen before.
No wonder little Paquita's mind
is stirred by confusion and her lit
tie brown brow wrinkles In per

Maybe you would like to know
about Paquita. a five-year-old or
phan girl Of the desolate village OF
Magdalena bay For nine years no
blessed rain has fallen, and forever
the restless seas beat on the shore
before her home to remind her OF
the unknown grave Of her father,
and few PAGES from her doorstep,
through the black sand, is reared a
little rude cross that marks the
last resting place of the mother
who bore her in tenderness and
love.
We came upon her so, few
hours after Admiral Evans proud
fleet had sailed into Makdalena
bay, sitting as she is in the pic
ture, with wondering eyes fixed on
hundred million dollars worth OF
shining steel and polished brass
a helpless atom of standardization
seeing for the first time the pomp
and panoply, and horror and po-
tentiality of might and strength
knowing and caring nothing OF
worlds politics. failing to compre-
bend all this, but in her baby mind
making playthings to fit her child

to terrify and slaughter men.

POLICE TO CLEAN UP
LODGING HOUSES

Five women charged with i'm
morality were taken out of the
Spokoma hotel yesterday and put
under $50 bonds. Patrolmen War
ner and McCloud made the arrests
Unless the police wish to be placed
in the light of discriminating
against certain lodging houses a
general campaign will be neces-
sary, as the former population OF
the notorious Main and Yale
blocks has been scattered through
the city. A search will reveal
them in all parts of town, and 1t is
likely that even residence sections
have not escaped.
In a number of so-called lodging
houses no further attempts are
made to conceal the true character
of the place. Special instructions
have been issued policemen to ar
rest women running in and out OF
these places.

Stewart Gray leader of the Manchester workers "
has taken remarkable way to attract attention to his
presentation of the sad of his comrades In way he
initiated the starving of India who commit suicide the
doorsep of the rich Gray went to the very gate of King
Edwards Windsor castle and declared that he would
sarve unless something done for the unemployed.
Gray is intelligent, we-educated man and his
markabe conduct Immediately attracted public attention
to the addresses which he has prepared and is sending to
the archbishop of Canterbury to the bishop of London
and to other of his ''thougtful fellow countryment"
And what he demands in these addresses is IAN
of idle land placed at the disposal of the poor that it
they may again show their ability to build their
houses and grow their dinners
That is just what the premier Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, aims to do although in another way and
larger scale His plan is to tax all the idle land into
use rather to authorize the municipalities to put all the
burden Of local taxes land values irrespective Of i'm
provements Over there they call it the taxing of ground
values.' An extraordinary amount Of valuable URBAN
suburban and country land Great Britain owned by the
powerful landlord class is grossly under assessed and
therefore, gross taxed; while the smaller holdings
of the middle and poorer classes highly assessed and
highly taxed. Sir Henrys plan is to make true
mens separate land from improvements and concentrate
taxation on land Values eXempting Improvements.
This is what they call taxing land into use' The
commons has three times passed bill authorizing munich
pates to do it, But each time the house of lords-whch
is a house of landlords--has blocked the bill.
In his speeches about the country recently Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman has been making this and some
other matters clear issues with the house of lords and it
is certain that his party will Ego to the country
that is, have general eection-wh limitation of the
powers of the house of lords the main question before
the people
And if the people support the premier and his party
of which there is strong kelihoodit will be merely
matter of passing resolution by the to shear
the power Of the peers to desired dimensions.
Once in Oliver Cromwell s time the commons passed
resolution abosng the house of lords and that body
disappeared And with the people backing it, the house
of commons could do that again if need be. For the
British constitution is what parliament makes it. and there
is no supreme court to tell parliament that it is acting
unconstitutionaly.
And while the British statesmen addressing them
selves in this way to the problem of the voorhees, it is
worth our while to sit up and take notice For we have
million voorhees, just now and also tremendous quaint
ties of valuable idle land in and about cities and all
through our farming timber mineral and grazing re-
gions Hundreds of thousands of the voorhees, would be
glad to them.
Why not tax these lands into use?

were shouting in divers tones; but
gradually the noise resolved itself
into something like order, and the

There had been silence below for
some minutes, when suddenly the
babel of voices reached us again. 1t
seemed as though each man was
shouting at the top of his voice,
trying to shout down the fellow

midst of it all a snot was fired.

Keeling to the side and clutching
one of the starchions for support,
he swung round and fired into the
companion several shots in rapid
succession. Then. without looking
round, he darted away forward, anu
after him came the mate, knife
in his hand, his flabby face almost
purple with rage. Seeing which
way Macshiel had gone, Murrel.
Immediately gave chase, while a
moment or two after Luiz and Gupp
staggered up to see the fun.
Apparently oblivious of our pres
ence, the Portugee stepped upon
the deck and urged on the pursuer
with hands AMI voice; but Gupp,
drunk as he was, had not forgot
ten the Australian, so he content
ed himself with exposing as little
of his precious persons as possible
and casting furtive glances in our
direction.
But in the meantime the captain
had run forward along the star
board side, and presently we saw
him returning along the port. and
his cadaverous little face was more
hideous and fuller of terror than
ever, for Murrell, with his knife,
was close upon his heels, gasping
vengeance AMI oaths. And it is as
well Macshiel old not see the face
of his chief officer, for If the bias

at the hideous face Of the mate
would have petrified him with ter

Murrell's face Yves not one which
appealed to the esthetic side of hui

who was shot at by Cannon.
