ORGAN RECTAL
Given By Mrs. Wilbur ThObuFn Mills
A Delightful Event

The Woman's Christian Association
scored another triumph last night in
the organ recital given under their
auspices at the Congregational church.
Every seat in the spacious auditorium
was occupied, and number of extra
chairs we're used to accommodate the
crowd, and even then a number had
to remain standing.
The recital was given by Mrs. Will
burn Thoburn Mills, assisted by Mrs.
Adele Pallen, soprano. 1t was the uni
versal testimony Of those present, that
the work Of these ladies' is worthy of
the highest praise.
Mrs. Pallen's voice is a pure so
prano voice Of wide compass, clear,
strong and sweet; and in perfect con-
troll. Her selections were we'll calcu.
lated to bring out It's varied excellen.
cies and beauty. The large audience
bore unmistakable testimony time and
again OF their approval by the hearty
! applause that greeted every number,
compelling Mrs. Pallen to respond in
some charming encores.
The work OF Mrs. Mills cannot be
too highly spoken of, and superluous
praise is nigh impossible. From the
opening number, a concert overture
by Faulkes to the closing selection
the Grand Chorus in A by Kinder, hel
work was grand success, and the
large company present gave every
number the most flattering attention
and spontaneous applause. The great
organ was certainly put to the test
and under the skillful touch of the ar.
tist, told forth story of music that
must have been a surprise to the in.
strument itself.
Mrs. Mills offered a most surpris.
ing and altogether pleasing variety
Of themes, from the Thorian harmon.
les of the Overture and Grand Chorus,
to the Madam melodies and Zephyrun
whispers of the Meditation" None
however, delighted her audience more
than variations on Anna Laurie, that
most loved Of Scotch melodies, as ar.
ranged by that master of harmonies
DR.. Dudley Buck. Mrs. Mills also, in
response to the spontaneous and pro
longed applause she received, grac
iously responded with a few delightful
encores.
A hearty welcome will always await
these ladies should they ever return
to Mt. Vernon.

Members Of His Family Had
Thrilling Escape

Mrs. Antonio Loriaux and her two
children, daughter 13 years old, and
two-year-old baby, were saved from
suffocation Thursday night by the
youngest child who aroused the moth
or with its cries just in the nick of
time, says the Hartford City, Ind,
Times-Gazette.
Mis-. Loiiaux and the two children
went to bed as usual Thursday night
at their home on East Fourth street
on the South side but about 1 o'clock
Mis-. LoliauX was al oused by the baby
who was crying loudly. -Supposing
that the little one was sick the moth
er got up and went to the kitchen
to look for bottle of medicine. She
felt weak aand faint herself and
sudden Feeling that someone had
been trying to chloroform her while
she slept crept over her. The next
instant she felt herself growing
weaker and fell in a faint on the
kitchen floor.
The older daughter was aroused by
the noise made by, her mothers col
lapse and she rushed to the kitchen
to find Mrs. Loriaux unconscious on
the floor. She frantically began hunt
ing for water with which to revive
her mother but without success and
in her desperation she seized a crock
full Of milk and threw it over Mrs.
Loriaux. No sooner had she done
this than she too became faint and
just as her mother opened her eyes
the daughter fell senseless to the
floor. Mrs. Loriaux was almost be.
side herself with flight and when she
felt the weakness stealing over her
again she jerked open the kitchen
door and ran into the open air. Not
until then did she realize that her
faintness had been caused by the
fumes of coal gas. The pure air soon
revived her and she ran in her night
clothes to the j. b. Leonard home
across the street. BY hammeling on
the door she managed to awaken the
Leonard family and told them of her
experience, and that her daughter
was lying apparently lifeless on the
kitchen floor. Members of the Leoi-
ard family accompanied Mrs. LoriauX
back to the Loriaux home and found
the daughter conscious though still
very weak. In leaving the house Mrs.
LoriauX had left the door open and
the cold air had revived the daugh-
ter. The baby which had sounded the
first alarm through it's cries, was con-
scious and apparently none the worse
for the experience. The members of
the Loriaux family spent the rest of
the night at the ]. b. Leonard home.
The deadly gas which came near
suffocating the mother and her two
children, escaped from soft coal
stove which had been tightly closed
before the family retired. All the
windows were closed and had it not
been for the warning cry of the babe
all three would have been smothered
Mrs. Loriaux states that when she
awoke she did not notice the fumes
but as soon as she got in the open
air she realized what had caused her
faintness. Mr.. Loriaux is working in
a glass factory at Mt. Vernon, O.
