WILL BE HELD IN KNOWLES
SCHOL BUILDING - PARENTS
AMAZING TO THE NEEDS OF
THE CHILDREN.

At the next meeting ofthe Knowles
School Alliance, which will be held in
the Knowles School building Friday
afternoon, Feb 3, F. A. Stewart
will lecture on Contagious Diseases
Among Children
The officials of the Alliance de-
sire to see all the parents at
this meeting. The hour set is two
o'clock which makes it convenient for
the parents to attend.
This Alliance, under the leadership
of Mrs. S. P Harris, president, and
Mrs. T. Clay Moore secretary, is do
ing a good work in the interest Of
the school children, and it is believed
that when the officials fully realize
the conditions under which the chill
dren have to labor in this old building
better provision will be made.
It is conceded by all that the day of
frame school houses in a city like
Nashville is past and the city has
allowed this old delapidated building
70 remain as an eye-sore to passersby
and a menace to the health and safety
of the hundreds of children who at
tend there.
The Alliance work is spreading to all
parts of the city. The parents are
taking an active interest in the con-
ditions of the school houses, and are
showing a disposition to lend their
aid in every way possible to make it
comfortable and safe for their chill
! dren while in school
The Negro citizens of Nashville are
awakening to the needs of the chill
dren, and they are cognizant of the
fact that the teacher cannot be eX
pected to do more than the rules pre-
scribe for them to do. The work
these alliances are setting out to ac
complish is not within the pale Of
teaching but is a work of the people
The superintendent and Board of Edu
cation welcome this cooperation OF
the part of the parents, for they real
lie that the school work demand!

Every phase of the work will b,
covered in the campaign. The sew

MYSTERIOUS PERSON SOLICITING
BANK DEPOSITS.

An incident that attracted unusual
attention this week, and caused the
officials OF the Peoples Savings
Bank ard Trust Company 10 little
worry was the circulation of a report
that some one was going around with
one of their pass books soliciting de-
posits for the bank.
DR.. A. NJ Townsend when seen by
Globe representative said he had
not been able to apprehend such an in
dividual, and while he hoped the re-
port was a mere rumor, he was having
a thorough investigation made and If
it should develop to be a fact that any
one was guilty of such an offense he
would see to it that the full extent of
the law be melted out to them. He
said the bank did not employ nor au-
thorize any one to receive deposits
outside of the bank wicket. Such a
think as collecting bank deposits
from people i'm their homes is un-
heard of, and is contrary to all bank
ing rules, and it is hard to conceive
how any one could commit such an act
but the officials of the bank are leav-
ing no stone unturned to find out the
origin of the rumor, and if it proves to
be true the guilty party or parties
Twill be run to cover.

customs and was appointed by Govern

apart from that branch of knowledge he should be well educated all around. The art of singing needs all the cuI- ture that can be brought to bear on it. I don't know what master of the violin would dream of beginning to teach his pupil without first showing him how to hold his instrument and bow. But because we are born with partial control over our voices, the proper care of them In early life is seldom considered. The young pupil is allowed to perform arias without even knowing how to hold his fddle--the throat--or control his bow-the breath. maintain that these things are ab- Golutely essential; they may take q long time to learn, but in the end they must be mastered"

few shillings by plucking them from the horses at different meetings.
 It appears that there are many such collections and one of them recently changed hands for twenty guineas. Such a price is above the average. but this collection contained sixty hairs, three from each of the tails of twenty winners of classic races, among them being Galo- pin, Ormonde, Flying Fox. Sceptre, Ard Patrick, Rock Sand. Pretty Folly and Spearmint, the genuineness being vouched for by letters from the various owners and trainers.
 Such letters are usually demanded by sportsmen who. make these strange col- lections, but there is at least one expert who professes to be able to recognize the halrs from famous horse by sight or touch. He says that, apart from their color, they are recognizable by the varia- tlons in their strength. thickness and elasticity.

PRICES OF PERFUMES RISE Earthquake at Messina Is One of the
 Causes of the Increase

London Cor. Philadelphia Ledger.
 The price of perfumes has been increas- ing in a most alarming way, and from present indications is likely to continue to increase. There are various causes for this state of affairs. For years the prices of the essential oils out of which the cost Her perfumes are made have been steadily rising, and now for various local reasons several have again taken a big jump forward. For example, bergamot, base of many perfumes and scented hair washes, is now very costly, because of the Messina earthquake.
 "The bergamot trees which grow around Messina take three years to become fruit full" remarked a Bond street perfumer. "The earthquake first directly destroyed many of the young trees, and in the sec ond place destroyed many indirectly by causing their cultivation to be neglected. This produced serious shortage in sup

A Strange Sporting Hobby

From the London Standard.
 There was a somewhat unpleasant incl dent at the Yarmouth race meeting caused by curious hobby which is growing Increasingly popular among lovers of race horses. A horse suddenly dashed out with its heels, and man who was behind it narrowly escaped serious injury.
 The trainer spoke to the man angrily, and when asked to explain the incident the trainer said that the man had been trying to pull hairs from the horses tail. He added that many people made col- lections of the hairs from famous horses. Ordinarily they wrote to the owner or trainer for them, but there were cer- tain number of men who tried to make

Because musicians and those directly or indirectly concerned with musical affairs are apt to take themselves trife se- riously, is no valid reason for thinking they arc not human, and that they do not occasionally like to gossip a bit, par ticularly if the gossip has to do with music and musicians.
 MT. David Bispham Is no exception to this rule. and I may say en passant, that 1t is considered a real honor to talk with MT. Bispham.
 He has an easy, forceful. delightful mode of expression, and there is, some- thing about his low voiced and unos- tentatious way of giving vent to a rad ical idea that is 100 times more striking and disturbing than if he were aggressive and assuming.
 MT. Bispham has a winning and most captivating manner. and the interviewer could not possibly meet anyone who con- veys such an impression of unaffected and genuine sincerity. and at the same time give so complete a conviction. that
