on the west side Saturday evening,
July 31st, surrounded by his wife and
daughter, and relative, Mrs Moen.
He suffered stroke of paralysis over
two years ago and had been unable to
help himself since that time. His
daughter Betsey, who was constantly
with him, helped to prolong his years
through her tender care. Mr. Kamp-
stad was born in Numedal, Norway,
Aug II, 1882, and was therefore aged
76 years, II months and 20 days. He
came to this country in the spring of
1868 with his wife and two children and
lived on farm near the East church
for about year when he bought a
farm in Section Is in the town of
Christiana where he lived until three
years ago and then moved to this vii
lage with his wife and daughter. They
were blessed with eight children, four
of whom are liveng, viz: Kittel and
Gulick, residing in North Dakota; An
drew, residing at Edgerton, while Bet
sey lived at home with her parents.

The Seventh Day Baptist General
Conference of America will be held
here Aug 25-31. Several hundred dele
gates from the various churches of the
denomination will be in attendance and
are already making their arrangement
for entertainment. Their meetings are
to be held in large tent on the college
campus. Other tents will be used for
dining room and kitchen adjacent to
the auditorium tent. Meals will be
served cooked by steam, for which the
delegates pay. A choir of fifty voices

DR. Jairus Maxson Stillman, instruc-
tor in music at Milton college, and fa-
mlllarly known to two generations OF
| students as FEDoc" Stillman, has given
up IedCIiiilS HluSiC dlu Will cilIeT dSII-
cultural work. The professor is seven
ty five years of age. About seven
years ago DIR Stillman took up the cul-
ture of ginseng, in which he has been
quite successful and now has over half
an acre of land devoted to its culture.
There is no one engaged in the culture
of Sang" as the pioneers denominat-
ed the wild plant, who has been more
successful in this locality than the doc
tor. Growing ginseng is not poor
mans game by any means. Professor
Stillman has expended $4,000 approx
mately on his half acre, which greatly
exceeds the returns from sales of roots
up to date. When seed is planted five
or six years must elapse before the root
reaches marketable dimensions and dur
ing ali this period there is much ex-
tpense.

The church was draped in mourning and
VS. crowded. even to the aisles. After the
professional, in which marched Bishop
Greer, Bishop McVickar. OF Rhode Island.
and Bishop Lawrence. OF Massachusetts.
and many OF the principal Episcopal cier-
gymen of the city, Bishop Greer delivered
the eulogy. in which he said:
We know the influence exerted by DR..
Huntington only in part Every mans
true personality is a secret even TO him
self. but few have expressed themselves
more viyidly than the late distinguishes
trying to do It. He did his duty as he
saw IT. because it was his duty. He
merged himself in 1t.
Dr. Huntington sought not the honor
people. He was more than a brilliant de-
batter; he was a leader. He had that rare
seeing with the eyes of other men as well
as with his own eyes. What was said of
great British lawyer might also be said
CT him, that he won his case by his con-
Whatever memorial will in the future be
erected to DR.. Huntington. his greatest
and his best memorial viii always be the
memory of his life.
Bishop McVickar said:
1t is not about DR.. Huntington the rec
tor that / am going to talk. but OF the
man as he went about among his people
In no sense was he sensa tional but there
was something in what he said that went
home. He did not wear his heart on his
sleeve, and he was often accused of being
cold and distant, but when you came to
know him he appeared entirely different
While he was reticent, and seemed TO carry
lifelong sorrow, DR.. Huntington radiated
cheerfulnesS and warmth of heart His
words were words out of his own heart
he felt what he said.
Bishop Lawrence told OF DR.. Huntington's
life at Harvard College and of his early
days in the ministry. characteri1ing hts
life as one full of hope and goodness.

MUSIC
NINE. GADsKI's SONG RECITAL.

Nine. Johanna Gadski gave a song re-
cital In Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon
she was heard by a great many persons,
ana II II were possible to arrive at the
measure of her artistic achievement by ad-
ding together the normal scope of her pro-
gramme, the number OF times which she
came back to the platform to acknowledge
applause, the repetitions OF songs put forth
In the list and the number OF additions to
the set scheme. the result would be one
that would gladden. the heart of every
lover OF good songs and good singing. But
SOUND estimates are not to be established
In TINS way: there is too much personal
equation involved, and some of it is of a
character that 1t would be ungracious to
discuss. To strike true balance 1t would
be necessary TO call attention to the fact
that the enthusiasm grew as the value Of
the entertainment declined, and reached its
culminatton when the singer came forward
and instead of singing a song shouted the
call Of Brunnhilde as it may be heard in
Wagner's drama die Walkiire." License
In music approaches pretty close to law
iessness. for reasons which are closely
pound up with the nature of the art. There
is something inspriting tn the shouts with
which the Vaikyria proclaims the freedom,
1oy0usnesS and elemental vigor of her
nature In Wagner's drama. and II the ex-
hilarating, bounding. ebullient utterance
must be wrenched from it's proper environ
menf 1t might be imagined effective in
another way with the singer cavorting on
horse over the sawdust of circus ring.
But In concert room the exhibition is
sorry one for the taste of the performer,
an Insult to the memory of Wagner and an
outrage on the sensibilites of intelligent
music lovers. Poets like Goethe and COM
posers like Schubert and Brahms had large
representation on Nine Gadski's pro-
eramme; but the singers most exquisite
eHorts of half-voice and sustained tone
were reserved for this nameless lyric:
Lie abed.
Sleepy head
Shut up eyes. bo-peep;
TIL daybreak
Never wake
BABY, Sleepi
And her most generous and impassive vocal
outpouring for this edifying, refining and
uplifting epic:
Hoiotoho! Hoiotoho!
Heiahai Heiaha!
Hoiotohoi Hoiotoho,
Heiaha! Heiaha,
Hoiotohoi Hoiotoho!
Hoiotohoi Hoiotoho,
HeiahaI Ha!
This Offering. be 1t said. came after Mime.
Gadski had gone through her programme
of twenty-five songs, had repeated five OF
them and added six others She was in ex-
cellent voice and spun out most Of the
melodies especially the sentimental ones,
with rare beauty of tone; but she interpret
ed only the gem Of Wagnerian poesy, which
has been printed in full so that naught Of
its sentiment may be wasted. H. 4. n.

FEARS POWER TRUST.
Pinchot Not Opposed to Pr
cate Development.

Washington, Oct 31-The practice of the
government in granting water power con-
cessions is outlined by Clifford Pinchot.
United States Forester. in a letter written
to Colonel Henry L. Higginson. of Boston,
a director OF the General Electric Com
pany. The letter takes the form of
public statement, and is significant at this
time because of the widespread interest IN
the water power question. Mr.. Pinchot
seeks to emphasize particularly that he
does not wish to retard the development
of water powers by private capital.
Summarizing the conditions imposed on
all power permits, the government for
ester makes clear the point that the re-
newal of a permit at the end of fifty years
is at the option of the government; that
Il is by statute revocable by the Secretary
of the Interior. but unless revoked, con-
tinues fifty years. when It terminates with
out any special revocation, but may then
be renewed at the option OF and on con-
ditions to be fixed by the government.
Mr. Ptnchot's letter follows. in part;
You will be glad to know that 1 have been
misuuoted as to the statements You men
ton. First of all L have no desire TO pre-
vent or retard the deveiopment OF water
powers by private capital They should De
developed by private capital. in my Juds-
ment. under proper government control,
and not by the nation or the states
Secondly, / have not said, either privately
or publicly, that the General Electric Com
pany or any other single existing corpora
ton controls or is now seeking 10 control,
ali the water powers in the country. But
no one can deny that there is marked
tendency toward practical concentration
and control of the hydro-electric develop
ment over a very wide area
therefore think that 1t is. of the utmost
Importance for the people of the nation 10
Understand these tendencies, realize their
import and take effective steps now while
there is vet time TO retain and effectively
exercise public control of this vital neces-
it Of rfe This may be done by giving
Concessions limited IN time. requiring fair
