Drowning Accident At concordvllle

Vernon Hart, Jr., aged about seven
years. was drowned Wednesday evening,
of last week, in the creek directly opposite
Concordville station. Accompanied by
playmates, he was swinging on rope
overhanging the stream when he slipped
and fell into the water, which was about
four feet deep at that point. His COM
panions gave the alarm, and his father,
who conducts the blacksmith shop but a
short distance from the scene of the acci-
dent, brought the boy from the water, and
although heroic efforts were made to re-
suscitate the child, life was extinct before
medical aid reached him.

As a boy wonder ut the age of ten
Albert Spalding astonished the musicei
critics of London. He made bis first
appearance before the Duke and Duct
ess of Connaught. At fourteen his
genius SO impressed Professor Chitl
that the latter suggested that he un-

tion for professorship at the Bologna
conservatory. The principal of the
conservatory. three violin professors
and two cello artists conducted the ex
animation, The boy made forty eight
marks out of possible fifty. Thirty
points were sufficient to pass the test
Upon looking up the records 1t was
found that he was the youngest vio
linist to pass such an exacting exam
ination. The books showed that aIo
zart, 1873 years earlier. at the same age
had passed similar test for the =;
ano.
At seventeen Spalding was giving
concerts liz the European capitals and
winning unstinted praise everywhere
he appeared. The late King Edward
and the present King George heard
him and expressed their appreciation
in high terms. Since then the young
Americans triumphs in Russia. Ger

tinguished personages and the most
noted artists and critics have been MI

to be one of the foremost in the eil

of the st. Petersburg Rietich last Jan
uary "He is a perfectly we'll haiGnc-

the European critical acclaim. fhe
fact that the artist is an American is
highly gratifying to those who hold
that foreign birth and uncut hair are
necessary to musical genius.

farmer on Placer creek. In the heart of

talking parrots as policemen on his

The rats were the worst pests. and
their raids cost Smith hundreds of dol

Shreveport, representatives of various
commercial interests, delegated to the
Legislature to urge FIRST the appropria-
ton BY the State of fifteen thousand
dollars for the purpose of litigation,
with the view Of obtaining relief from
the outrageous embargo raised by Texas
against Louisiana in excessive freight
rates. The Texas Commission may be
compelled 10 recede from its arbitrary
and uniust-diserinlipation, which has
pnerase.ss against the Nsommercial inter-
ests OF Shreveport and of the State.

The gas and oil conservation is also
an al important question, and the citi-
