AN INTERESTING COLLECTION
c. M. Riggs Has Stone and Flint
Curios and Other Ancient Articles.

Q. NJ. Riggs, sub-principal at the
Cony High school. has an excellent
collection of stone and flint arrow
heads, knives. hatchets, etc, $50 or
more in number. that he has bought
from collectors in various parts of the
United States.
The various articles are relics of The
stone age and are very interesting, as
they show how the noble red man of
the days of yore prepared his knives
hatchets and arrow heads for do
nestle "nd other uses. 1t may be the
case, though Mr.. Riggs has no data
regarding the matter, that some of the
arrow heads as well as the tomahawks
in tie collection were the Instruments
of bloody deeds.
Some of the Instruments of more
peaceful use included in this collec-
ton are the stone chiSelS, with grooves
on their surface to permit a handle
to be affixed. Another utensil that
there is little known about is one
and it is supposed that it was either
used for hoe or else it served as an
adZe. Some round stones in the
collection were used, Mr. riggs states,
for playing the game called Chung
kee."
Besides the stones and flints Mr..
Riggs has some other interesting rel
les One is a powder horn that one
OF his ancestors carried at the battle
Of Bunker Hill and two others are old
fashioned pistols. one goes with per-
cusSion lock and the ether has flint
lock and The old-faShioned par in
which the powder was turned.
Mr. Riggs collection of china of an
cient signs IS very good. though
limited in quantity and includes spec
linens from some Of the best English
makers of years ago. Several pieces of
old furniture, one q bed such as our
grandparents used and another bu-
reau of very ancient design, are par
ticularly noticeable.
Mr. Riggs also has a collection of
hand-painted prints of very ancient
date that snow foreign scenes ard d

name "organists' Guild was adopted
1t is planned to hold bi-monthly meet
inGS during the winter season. with pa
pnrs and addresses by organists and
Others interested in improving the
mrsl Of the church service, and pro-
grams Of organ music will be arranged
IRON time 10 time as OCCASION affords.
The first stated meeting of the new
guild will be held on the evening of the
third Friday of March. The following
officers We're elected to serve until the
annual meeting in November: Presi-

Miss Marcia Craft. who was at one
time Il Portland nlCmbcr of the quar-
tette 1T til" Congress Square church,
has; recently terminated her contracts
in ManZ and kicl extending over the
past two years. The following are cX-
tracts from the kicl and Mainz news
papers, and show the great success
this young artist has achieved: A
Kiel paper Of Jar. :. 1908. says: Three
characters took the hOnorS of the
evening. Frau Craft sang .Violetta.'
Her tone is smooth, rounded in the
high voice, and flatters the ear with
its sweetness and softness, and never
allows the quality to change. Frau
Craft sings 'Niolctta' in Italian. She
lifts the character out of bodily exis-
tence into the purer regions of soul
life" The Manner Journal of April
13. 1907. says: "After two years OF very
successful work. Miss Craft is to leave
MainZ. Her many artist friends regret
deeply that the direction of the opera
has not been able to renew the con-
tract with this much beloved artist.
The artistic work Of Miss Craft is
recognized and appreciated. Such Pc
culiarly artistic talent is given to few
artists, especially on the German opera
stage. Our best wishes will go with
the highly gifted artist in her future
engagements, if still at the last hour |
the direction may not succeed in re-
tanning her at the Mainz theatre"
