OTTO MEYER RECITAL
Americas Great Violinist Pleases
Large Audience.

Those who failed to appreciate the
fact that a Violinist of wonderful abil-
ity was in the city were deprived OF a
rare treat in not hearing the recital
given in the Grand opera house Tues
day evening by Otto Meyer, the dis
tinguished violinist, accompanied by
Alexander Russell pianist His play
ing was a gratifying surprise to those
who had expected to hear an artist
and the decree of many who attended
the concert is that he is the best VIC
linist who ever appeared on the local
stage. Certainly no harsh criticism
could be INDUCED, for Mr.. Meyer is a
yiolinist possessing great tempera-
ment and playing with intensity and
dash. His technique was excellent
and his deen sympathy, enthusiasm
and brilliancy made him a favorite
with all. His selections were of a
class which appealed TO the unsteady
cultured listeners, and his playing fur
nished delightful evenings study and
entertainment. Mr.. Russell is a pian-
list of unusual brilliancy and his exc
cution of Rubenstein's Staccato was
quite remarkable. AS an accompanist
he gave excellent support to the violin
list and the two seemed to play to-
gether as If with one feeling. The
closing number on the program, Faust
Fantasia, by Wieniawski, was perhaps
the most pleasing. but every number
on the program was received by earn
est and enthusiastic applause. The
Opening of the concert was held near
ly half hour later than had been an.
|nounced, on account of the recital CIV
en- by Mrs. Lee Longs pupils in the
Woman's Club rooms.

.SHINUM REORGANIzED
Capital Stock Of a Local Industry
Has Been Increased.

The "Shinum Company" OF Oska.
loosa, which has been manufacturing
a patent trade novelty that was orig
mated by Wilbur Jones, has been re-
organized and incorporated. The cap.
ital stock of the organization has been
increased to ten thousand dollars and
the making of the goods will be COM
nenced on a large scale as soon as
better factory facilities can be secured.
The new organization is as follows:
President-John III. Anderson.
Vice-Pres.--A. +. N 1ambleton.
Sec-Treas.-C. d. Gordon.
Board of Directors-O. f. Schee, A,
F. N. Hambleton, W. r. Cowan, ]. w.
Lewis and c. ID. Gordon.
One salesman is now on the road
and others will be added as soon as
the making of the goods is resumed.
The factory last season was behind
with its orders and could not nearly
meet the demand. statesmen were
called in because the company lacked
facilities for handling the business.
With additional capital and adequate
manufacturing facilities the future or
the business is assured.
The product of the Shinum company
is a neat little snoe polisuer, consist.
ing of cleaner, brush and box of pol
ish. all in small size package. 1t
is Just the thing for the grip when
travelling or for the dresser drawer.
1t occupies small space and is always
ready when needed. The article sells
at sight. The troubls with the sue
cess has never been with the selling
end, but with the ability of the max.
ing department to turn out the finish
ed goods. The factory win be in op.

True and False Hannlness.

True happiness is of a retired ma
ture, and an enemy to pomp and
noise; 1t arises, in the first place
from the enjoyment of ones self;
and in the next, from the friendship
and conversation of few select com
panions. False happiness loves to be
In crowd, and to draw the eyes o!
the world upon her. She does not
receiye any satisfaction from the ap
plause which she gives herself, but
from the admiration which she raises
IN Others. Addison -
