MUSIC APPEALS TO ESKIMOS.
Voices Good and They Sing In Tune,
According to Traveller in Regions
of the North.

Music is one of the chief pleasures
and accomplishments of the Eskimos.
At the Labrador missions violins are
used by them in the church choir, and
brass bands are organized. In Along
the Labrador Coast DR.. Townsend
tells of an evenings entertainment
with the Eskimos at Main.
For over an hour these natives sing
to u.s." he says, familiar music with
Eskimo words-Rock of Ages Holy
Night interspersed with what l take
to be secular songs, Their voices are
harmonious and the singing is of a
superior order. We return the compli-
ment in the only way we can with
graphophone. 1t is indeed a terrible
come-down to The Old Apple Tree and
Everybody Works But Father but the
Eskimos seem to enjoy it, and greet
the songs and their explanation by
the Interpreter with peals of laughter.
"a song in which a man beats his
wife seems especially to amuse them
A Moravian brother tod me that they
had been unable to win the Eskimo
from the wife-beating habit. Even
the wives resent any interference on
this score.

NEVER A MAN TO Be ENvIED.
Philadelphia Writer'S Idea OF Status
to Be Accorded Bachelor In
Society.

The bachelor is punished already
not only in losing the joys Of a home
but being an object Of contumely. Sc
long as bachelors are willing to put ur
with all the losses they sustain In
celibacy far be 1t from the majesty oi
the law to impose further penalties
1t was Cicero or q man Of his day who
remarked that 1t was onerous for a
man to get along with wife, but i'm.
possible to get along without one. The
bachelor is not man-only more
or less imitation of one-sometimes a
very poor one. He thinks he has a
good time In escaping all the major
responsibilities Of life, but he is de.
ceiving no one but himself. AS an
example and a warning he has his
uses in society. AS an individual he
Is apt to find that he Is eating only
apples of Sodom. The man who de.
liberately remains bachelor Is al
ready punished enough. Let him alone
in his misery until some nice girl
comes along and carries him off. And
we may remark that no man is a bach.
elor of his own initiative-no matter
how much he may think SO. He is
simply human derelict whom the
have examined and passed by.
The bachelors are the disjecta mem.
bra of society whom no woman will
have. That is awful and it is en- ugh.

Getting Into Practice,

1t is often pleasanter to theorize
than to perform. A young law student,
says a writer in the Philadelphia In

processes of his future profession. He

house and speculate idly, instead of
doing some Of the domestic tasks
which stood waiting

Dickens Method Of Speaking.

Before making a speech Charles
Dickens would decide on his various

While It Is True He Is Making
An Invasion of This Part of
The Country, He Will Not
Enter Richmond.
HOME PHONE COMPANY
STILL INDEPENDENT
It Is Protected Locally and on
Long Distance Business
With Contracts, Running for
Long Period.

Even though J. Pierpont Morgan,
who is understood to be purchasing
the controlling interest of the Bell
Telephone company in various cities
in this section of the country. secures
the local Bell concern. Richmond pa
irons of the Home Telephone COM
pany will not be affected, in view of
a twenty year contract taken out by
the latter company with the Bell peo-
pie about year ago.
In discussing the matter this morn
ing, William NJ. Bailey, president Of
the Home Telephone company, stated
that he did not believe that Morgan
would purchase the Bell interests in
this city because of the fact that the
people here were protected by a con-
tract. He said that Morgan was after
the Bell interests in cities which were
not protected by a contract and that
| if he did buy up the local interests it
could not be broken. He declared
that in event all the local Bell stock
was bought by the financier, the
Home phone rates would remain ex
actly the same for twenty years al
tleast.
What His Object Is.
1t is thought that Morgan's object
is to secure the controlling interest ol
practically every long distance tele
phone system in this part of the coun
try. The local Home Telephone com
pany has taken out contracts with
three different long distance compan
les, the Long Distance company O.
Indiana. the United States Long Dis
tance company of Ohio and the Bel
company. With the first two namet
a SO year contract has been signed
The local company is thus amply pro
tected against any movement tina
may be made by the Morgan interests
The Bell Telephone company of thi:
city conducts long distance business
almost altogether, having only a few
subscribers in the city. The Bel
service is used by the Home Tele
phone company for long distance calls
According to Mr.. Bailey there is no
the slightest occasion for alarm
among local patrons over the fact tha
Morgan is going after" the telephon,
business and no cut throat method
will be adopted locally. in regard t.
long distance rates.

this month, the official thermometers
showed that the temperature was but
3 degrees above zero.
Winter, this year. has been getting
in it's best licks much earlier than
usual and in the memory of the oldest
residents, there have been few past
seasons which have been its equal.
As a rule the severe cold weather
does not make it's appearance until
after the first of the year. However,
there is change of program this year
which fact will be attested to by ev-

of the charitable institutions where
demands by the poor for assistance
have been heavy.
A Sun Dog Sign.
The sun dogs were particularly
clear about and 10 O'Clock today and
had not entirely disappeared at noon,
when the sun was its brightest. This
was only one indication of extreme
ly cold weather. Frost bites would
be in order if anyone would spend
much time outside without heavy pro-
lection from exposure.
There are but few joys to be ex-
perienced from such weather, and the
small boy expects to come i'll for a
good share of these. The principal
attraction to him is the fact that
skating will be exceptionally fine dur.
ing the holidays. The coal dealers are
not complaining and the ice men are
afraid that there will be sudden re-
vision upwards in the weather, which
will effect the possibilities Of splen'
