COWARD CONSCIENCE.

A quiet, bashful sort OF young Eel

Hill girl one evening not so very long
ago, when her father came into the
parlor with his watch in his hand.
II was about $3.50 o'clock. At the mo-

a chair strengthening a picture over
the piano. The girl had asked him 10

man, a gruff, stout fellow, said:
Young man, do you know what
time IL is?"
The bashful youth got of the chair
nervously, YES, SIR" he replied. Il

He went into the hall without any
delay, and took his hat and coat. The
girls father followed him. As the
caller reached for the door knob, the
old gentleman again asked him II

such a party the natural leader Is

LONDON, July 20.--While Uncle

In the fiscal year just closed. there
was a drop of 100000 gallons in
the consumption Of spirits, as compar'

TO Chancellor OF the Exchequer Lloyd
George. In Ireland drinking has de-
creased from 80 to 20 per cent.
As soon as the heavy tax OF the
Liberal budget was put on, drunken
ness fell off. The number of convic.
tions has dropped $4,000
This has been a distinct gain to
the community" said Mr.. Lloyd
George. Then he told how the drink

GRAND CONCERT COMPANY

The Constance Balfour Concert
company which is to appear here
Wednesday at the Kentucky under
the auspices of the Woman's club, is
a unique organization in as much as
it is made up OF artists all OF high
rank. While of course, Nine.
Constance Balfour Is the star
and the main attraction, at the same
time she is supported by artists all
of a high degree Of ability, there
fore the programs given are notable
for their general excellence.
Nine. Constance Balfour is an
American. She took up the study OF
the voices, first in this country and
later in Europe. under Sbriglia and
Lapierre, of Paris and Heinemann. of
Berlin.
Since her recent return 10 this
country Nine. Bahour has sung ex-
tensively throughout the south and
west, where she has been acclaimed
in no uncertain terms as having one
Of the finest voices before the public
today. and her charming manner and
grace of bearing have won for her
scores Of admirers in all parts OF the
country.
One Of the artists supporting Nine.
Balfour Is Anton Navratil. Mr.. Nav
ratil was born In Wisowitz. Moravi,
and is the son of Johann Navratil,
the Bohemian violinist. who some
years since acquired so much promi-
nence throughout Germany and Aus
o-Hungary. He studied piano and
theory under Novak. then head pro-
fessor at the Royal Conservatory at
Brunn, MoTabia, and violin under
Anton Snejdrla. Two years later he
entered the private class of Frycaj,
then conductor of the Imperial or
chestra at Vitin, under whom he
continued both his studies of violin
and theory for four yeaes. After
two years special preparatory school
ing with Johann FNojtik In his native
city he entered the class OF Sevlck in
Prague, Mohemia, where he spent
two years previous to his coming TO
America. in finishing studies with the
celebrated master.
Another member of the Constance
Balfour Concert company is an Amer
ican worthy of mention, Henri La
Bonte. the tenor. Mr.. LaBonte Is an
American but of French extraction
his grandfather having been born in
Paris. His voice, a tenor of magnifi-
cent proportions, has been greatly

Among these may be mentioned the
increasing excess OF exports over i'm
ports. the balance of trade i'm favor
of this country during the current
fiscal year being the smallest since
1896; and but for foreign purchases
OF American securities during the re-
cent decline, there would probably be
heavy exports of gold. Then the bond
market is unfavorable for large float
ations, and this retards the extensive
works of construction.
Heavy liabilities of defaulting con-
Germs during February due, however,
chiefly to four large failures, is not
a pleasant incident. A slight tend
ency to reduction in building opera
tions Is noted. There is also consid-
cradle disposition TO wait for con-
gressional legislation and court de-
cislons before entering upon large
business commitments. But, in spite
of all these things. the fact remains
that a big volume of business, at
least closely appnoximating normal,
Is carried On.

very little to the gain, chiefly. IL not
