CHARLES A. GEHRIE IS
AGAIN IN THE ARIONS.
Expelled Member Back in the
Fold.

Last July CHARLES A. Gehrie was ex-
PEELED from membership in the Arion
Singing Society, and the fact that he
was not granted a hearing caused q mild
sensation at that time. Last night Mr..
Gehrie was reinstated at a meeting Of
the society in the Kruger Auditorium.
The motion to reinstate Mr.. Gehrie
was made by Henry Ali, on the advice
Of former Senator Michael r. Barrett,
counsel for the society. MI. Gehrie had
started proceedings in the Supreme
Court to effect his reinstatement, and
a hearing on his application was set
down for tomorrow. Mr.. Barrett, in q
letter K the society, advised an ami
cable adjustment of the case. as he was
of the opinion that Mr.. Gehrie was
right in his assertion that he had been
illegally expelled from the society be-
aus he had had no hearing.
The action of the members of the
Arion last July was taken on account
OF a speech made by Mr.. Gehrie crit
icising the Liberal Citizens parade last
summer and the participation OF tho
Arion members In 1t.
At the same meeting President II.
A. Dittler announced the following
committees: Delegates to the German
American Central Alliance, Lebrecht

PROVIDES
EASY METHOD OF
LEARNING MUSIC
Any Child Who Can Read Can
Learn to Play the
gfs, Piano.

There are few persons in the world
who do not love. or at least like music.
SO few that they a be almost counted
out entirely. The trouble is that many
of them have not the time or the pa
thence to TAX lessons on the piano or
organ in the usual way. To those per-
sons. a method of studying music in the
quickest, easiest way is most welcome.
That is what THE STAR is doing,
giving everyone an opportunity to be-
come a fine pianist Oh ~organfst, if they
care to devote that much time to 1t, or
to become simply proficient enough to
play for their wi amusement. After
you nave finished the lessons being
published in THE STAR it is entirely
up to o as to what degree of perfec-
ton in music you attain.
In all the schools of the city the
children are being taught to sing. At
the same time they should learn to
play, especially when learning would
cost them so little time and effort.
Vocal music unaccompanied by an in
strument loses half its charm. The
voice and instrument together make
the most beautiful combination of
sound imaginable.
The system of teaching furnished by
THE STAR is the simplest, yet the
most practical and complete ever de-
vised. Any child who Is able to read
the few direct words OF the text which
accompanies the charts can easily fol-
low the instructions given and can
learn to play the piano or organ as
well as they could be taught to do so
by a teacher at a dollar an hour-as
far. that is, as the series Of lessons
takes them.

FAMOUS GIFTS OF MEMORY
Senator Cores Remarkable Demon
stratiOn Recalls Like Feats
in the Past.

Senator Gore Of Oklahoma, who is blind,
is gifted with a remarkable memory. The
other day in replying to Mr.. Lodge, he
ratified off statistics about Massachusetts
manufactures after a fashion that sur
prised his colleagues. While other senators
depend upon printed tables for facts and
figures, Senator Gore trusts entirely to his
splendid memory.
Gladstone was similarly gifted. Although
a literary man by studies and inclinations,
he could, when chancellor of the ex-
chequer,, recite statistical information
without the aid of notes or pamphlet. He
could recall a Greek quotation in the origt-
nal without making the semblance OF an
error, and could correct archaeologists who
presumed to know all about the pyramids
Of Egypt or the round towers Of ireland.
Macauley's memory was oven more pro-
digious. 1t is well known how rapidly he
could tell the names of the archbishops
of Canterbury backward. and it is said
that after reading a copy OF the London
Times he could repeat it's contents YER
batim, advertisements and all. The latter
assertion, will, no doubt, test the credu-
ilty of of the marines, even.
Blaine and Conkling, both pHded them
selves on their memories. On one occasion
Conkling quoted the celebrated lines, mo
pent-up Utica confines our powers" etc,
adding that they were from Addison's
Cato. Blaine wagered a basket of cham
payne that they were not. Conkling was
much Inundated when It was shown to
him that the quotation was from an cpl
logue to Addison's Cato. written by a citi-
zen of Portsmouth, N. H.-Boston Globe.

entered the right side and is thought to

MEPHISTo BACK TO HADES
Champion Swearing Parrot Dives
Into SmOkestack Of q
Locomotive.

II the hostler in the Delaware & Lack
awana railroad roundhouse at Montclair,
N, j., who wipes up the locomotive that
drew the 4:0 o'clock train from New York
to this city recently. hears cuss words
coming from the inside of the big machine
he need not be surprised. Somewhere in
the Interior of the iron horse is Mephisto,
the prize swearing parrot of Paul Sorren-
son. He flew down the smokestack in q
moment of panic at the station here. The
last heard of hin he was coughing and
sneezing and cursing the smoke, cindera
and heat. II may be by this time he is
breathing a profane benediction on the
crown sheet of the firebox or telling the
steam-charged boiler tubes what he thinks
of them. On the other hand, he may be
dead.
From the strictly p~rofane point OF view,
Mephisto was the best educated parrot in
this section Of New Jersey. He could
swear with fluency in five languages. and
also in several dialects. Every noun, verb,
adjective, adverb, conjunction, proposition
and article in his vocabulary was either
tainted or tlnctured with profanity. Not
one of his many friends expressed any
hope for his future. RE was beyond
reformation and redemption.
Sorrenson, who lives in New street, took
Mephisto to the station the other even
ing. The parrot was drawing with energy
upon his vocabulary and d~elighting one
part Of a big crowd and shocking others
when the New York train rolled in. Me-
phisto became panic stricken at once. He
flew from the arm of his owner, oircled
twice above the locomotive, and then
dived down into the smokestack. The
astounded spectators heard a volley of
oaths coming out with the smoke, and
then there was silence. There is a division
Of opinion as to what produced 1t.
Those who were shocked by the lam
guage the parrot had used say the silence
was caused by su~ffocation. The birds
friends assert, however, that Mephisto
simply was racking his brains to find
words to fit the new situation In which he
found himself.-New York Press.

Within less than seven months the bride
