SACRED RECITAL AT
BROADWAY CHURCH

Wellington Worker, Mrs. Edla Lund
and Miss Gertrude Housed on a
Fine Program.
The third in the series of sacred
song recitals at the Broadway Presby-
terrain church last night was the best
attended of any so far. The music was
of high order and the audience was
greatly pleased with the service
throughout. While the music commit
tee regretted greatly the inability Of
the harpist, Mrs. F. II. Leavens, to full
fill her engagement, yet the boy So
pranO. Master Wellington Worker of
the Davenport cathedral, proved a
most successful substitute. His voice
is clear and high and he deserved
much credit for the manner in which
he sang his two numbers. Mrs. Edla
Lund did especially well in her solo,
MY Redeemer and My Lord" by
Gounod, with violin obligatO by Miss
Gertrude Housed. The anthem num-
bers were well rendered, showing I'M
der what perfect control Mrs. Lund
holds the direction of her choir bring
ing out most wonderful expression.
Miss Housed played with her usual
perfection, and her number, Prayer -
by Bazzini, was we'll received. Rev. w.
G. Oglevee gave a practical 10-minute
sermon on My Every Day Creed"

CHESS CHAMPION COMING.
DR.. Emanuel Lasker of Berlin to Visit
America Next Month.

New York, Dec. l6.-According TO
information received from Berlin, DIR.
Emanuel IAsker, the worlds cham
pion chess player. who has just con-
cluded his championship matches
with Janowsld, intends to sail for
America early next month. He plans
to spend at least six months on this
side OF the Atlantic, during which
time he will give exhibitions in many
of the chief cities of the United States
and Canada. The visit will afford
most American chess experts their
first opportunity to meet the man who
IS acknowledged to be the greatest
living master OF the game.
DR. Lasker did not need his latest
victory over Janowstd to stamp him
the master of the game. His defeat
of the great Partisan player only
again showed to the world his mar
velous skill and ingenuity.
AS a mere hoy DIR. Lasliar was
greater at chess than most great
players and early learned to calculate
results far ahead of the game. His
first efforts We're made when he was
twelve years old. His first tutor i'm
the game was his brother, whom he
readily outstripped. In 1899 he enter
ed the Haubt -T'urnier at Breslau and
surprised his friends and competitors
| by carrying off all honors. Since that
tine he has been the admitted ma ster
of the science. 1895 he scored great
triumph i'm st. Petersburg, i'm which
he defeated SteinitZ, Pillsbury and
rschigorin. The following year at
Nuremburg. he won the international
championship, defeating all the great
| PLAYERS Of the world.

DEER STARVING TO DEATH.
Some of Them May Be Taken Away
From Grand Island.

Lansing, Mich. Dec. 16.-On Grand
Island, tract of land owned by the
Cleveland Cliffs Iron company out in
Lake Superior a few miles off the
shore of Alger county, there are about
a thousand deer, the property of the
capitalists who own the island and ow-
ing to the scarcity OF food the ami
mails are slowly starving to death.
At least such is the information that
has reached the office of State Game
Warden Charles Pierce from c.. V. r.
Townsend, the general manager of the
company and he would like to know
what disposition can be made of some
of the animals. Recently he shipped
several carloads OF alfalfa TO the is
land as IL is said that the deer are
very fond of the food, but he estimat-
ed that ii will require thousands Of
bales of alfalfa to feed the deer until
the snow melts in the spring.
If permission is secured from the
state game warden's department a
number of the deer will be transfer
red TO private preserves, and it is
likely that Game Warden Pierce who
is greatly interested in the preserva-
tion OF the deer. will grant this re-
quest. Mr.. Pierce agrees with Mr..
Townsend of the Cleveland Cliffs COM
pany that II would be a good scheme
to secure the enactment of law that
would allow owners of game preserve
to raise deer for slaughter. govern
ing their sale i'm the same manner as
the system under which brook trout
raised i'm private hatcheries are sold.
This island is a beauty spot and a
natural game preserve. When the
Cleveland Cliffs company purchased
it several years ago a number of deer
were placed on it. but they have null
tiplied so rapidly that hunters were
allowed there this year in the hope
that few of the animals would be ex-
terminated. Since the company owned
the island there has never been but
one wolf on it, and after the wolf had
killed thirteen deer the company or
ganized band of hunters and spent
over $4,000 before IL was finally cap
tured and killed. Mr.. Pierce says the
company is willing to give deer to any
one who wishes to start a game pre-
