CHORAL SOCIETY CONCERT BIG sue.
CESS.

The concert of the Lambertville
Choral Society, at Lycenm hall las,
Thursday evening, was most enjoy
able and of high order; the house
being well filed.
The opening number was Liszt's
Hungarian Rhapsody, No. 10, given
by Mr.. Robert B. Phillips, whose
rendition was thoroughly artistic and
! finished.
Mr.. Phillips interpretations are al
ways scholarly, and In this work was
no exception. and we are proud to
number among orr citizens so accom-
plished n pianist.
Anderton's cantata, 1.-THE Wreck of
the Hesperus, was finely rendered,
the chorus of fifty-five voices being
well balanced and singing with good
volume, showing the careful drilling
aud intelligent handling of the con-
ductor, Mrs. H. b. Boice. Some of
the numbers were particularly good,
the shading being admirable. For
the short time this chorus has been at
work the results were most gratifying.
Miss Helen T. Pierson accompanied
the chorus in an effective manner,
contributing in no small degree to its
steadiness by her good work.
The solo parts we're taken by Mrs.
Chas. NJ. Dilts, soprano, Mr.. Clar-
ence II. Rex, tenor and Mr.. Austin
l.. Black, bass. Mrs. Dilts sang in
her usual pleasing manner, her num-
bers being given with finish and ex-
preston. MI. Rex, who has been
heard here but little in solo work, has
voice of pleasing quality and
sang very effectively and is a welcome
addition to our local talent.
Mr.. Black is the possessor of an ex-
cellent voice, his tone being of fine
quality. He gave several solos which
were we'll received.
The principal soloist was Miss Cora
Remington. of New York, whose voice
Is splendid soprano of sympathetic
quality and rare beauty. Her rem
dering of the famous Aria from Ira
viata, "Ah! was it he,' was of the
highest order, aud we feel confident
that more beautiful voice has not
been heard in our city. She gracious
ly gave several encores which were
much appreciated.
Miss Kate Lyons, violinist, whose
fine playing is so much appreciated
by our music lovers, gave the Prize
Song from ode Meistersineer," in an
admirable manner. Miss Lyons plays
with broad resonant tone of very
smooth quality, and has an excellent
command of the bow; responding to
encore she played brilliant Mazurka
by Mylnarski.
1t is to be hoped that this concert
will result in the formation OF q per-
manent choral organization; it is ev-
ident that we have good material, and
there is more available and if our cit
liens will do their part in the sup
port of such society. its success will
be assured.

Memorial Day and the Old Veterans.


Some few years ago Post. 90, q. A..
II paraded our streets with hun
bred able bodied men, upon such oc-
caslons as Memorial Day. Now the
Post is reduced in membership to "a
or 80 members. The very best OF them
are hardly capable Of making a one
mile march. and it is only question
OF time when these few also will have
to attend these services in some sort
of conveyances.
The war closed A years ago, and
left some very young heroes, but time
and tide awaits no one. and these
same young heroes have now nearly
reached the allotted time of man.
Post 20 is very fortunate in falling
in line with the Sons OF Veterans, who
will be of lasting benefit to them in
their declining years, as they will take
up the line Of march as the G.. A. r.,
leaves Of.
wish to say Memorial Day is day
set aside expressly for Old Veterans
and their assistants to commemora te
their fallen comrades by strewing flow.
ers upon their graves, and in connec
ton with religious ceremonies. The
day should be held sacred to theil
memory.

MRS. suYpAM IN COURT AGAIN.

Matthias Connors, who was arrested
in Trenton last Wednesday morning
on complaint of Mrs. Susie Suydam,
was arranged in the Second district
court on the charge OF assault and
battery.
T Connors, who has been employed by
Mrs. Suydam for some time, got into
an argument with her, which ended
by Mrs. Suydam being severely beat
en- by Connors, who struck her on the
jaw and eyes and choked her. The
woman showed signs of the struggle
when she appeared in court, her eyes
being slightly blackened.
Connors claims that they were both
under the influence at the time, and
did not know what they were doing.
For some unknown reason Mrs. Suy-
dam withdrew her complaint, and
Connors was discharged after being
warned not to modest her in the fu-
ture.
Connors has been employed by Mrs.
Suydam on and off for period of Sc
veral years, and recently returned
from Newark where she had been en-
gagged in the hotel business, Connors
serving in the capacity of bartender.
Mrs. Suydam stated in court that
she never had any trouble with the
man before. as he had always done his
work we'll, and she was unable to at
tribute any reason for his attack upon
her.
Connors was indisposed to talk
much about his relations with Mrs.
Suydam, but claimed that she had SO.
veral articles of clothing belonging to
him in her house. He also said she
had two horses in her stables belong
ing to him, one of which he raised
from colt.
When confronted by Mrs. Snydam,
who emphatically denied his owner
ship to anything but coat in her
house, ConnOrs admitted that she was
right.
| Mrs. Suydam stated that she would
settle her difficulties with Connors in
civil court.
Previous to her marriage to Frank
Snydam, Mrs. Suydam, who was then
Mrs. Doblinsky, conducted saloon
in this city. About two years ago she
was indicted for selling liquor on Sun
day, and she aud her two bartenders
were sentenced to state prison, the
bartenders for six months each and
herself for two years. She was paroled
shortly afterward and upon being re-
leased married Suydam. The roman
ce begun while Suydam was perform
ing his duties as keeper in the prison.

1t has been the custom to picture the
men of the frontiers as heroes and the
Indians as bloodthirsty savages. AS
matter of fact. many of the frontiersmen
of Carsons day were more of the savage
than the Indians. They We're rovers,
vagabonds and adventures mostly, with
here and there worthy man. They had
little respect for human life and some of
them had been murderers back in the
states. Drink was their bane. and their
carouses usually brought about blood
shed. For the Indians they had no re-
spect. They made no effort to treat
the aborigines honestly, as did the
French voyasers and trappers. Their
creed was that the only good Indian
was a dead one. and usually they did
their best to make the creed good

himself what right had the white man

on an average, five or ten times as many
Indians west of the Missouri as there
were whites, but he had a tremendous
advantage in the rifle. The range of the

out there another problem IN social
ethics which has been sadly overlooked.
which has seldom been given thought.
and yet it's solution is important as
the other. This is the parent problem.
Does II ever strike you that parents
need training as we'll as children. and
that on their training depends that of the
children?
The pupil has TO look to the teacher for
an education, but the teacher first must
be taught himself. In addition to knowl-
edge. he must know how to impart the
knowledge so as to confer the most
benefit.
