movements. The Chinese too have
cleaned up their stores considerably,
and they are not showing so great
disposition to keep lot Of useless
material around, as they did year
or SO ago. 1t is characteristic of Chi
nese to KEEP articles on han dthat

lueless, or worse, so it speaks well
for the work done by the food COM

The japanese are rapidly falling in
to line in every direction. The Japa-
.nese Merchants Association has CO.
operated willingly and fully, and the
various nostrums that come this way
from Japan are being inquired into.
AS soon as it can be ascertained what
would be suitable descriptions for
these goods, the association has pro-
missed that it will see that Japanese
translations are made accordingly, and
in future all goods arriving from Jap
an will be correctly indicated by the
| wrappers or the labels.
One reason for the excellent cleanli-
ness that prevailed iii He country
stores, Blanchard thinks, is to be
found in the good work that was done
in Honolulu. He thinks that as the
stores are supplied from here, the To-
cal people are more cautious in re-
gard to the quality of the articles they
send, as they fear that they might be
implicated should anything Of an I'M
savory nature find its way from their
stores to their country clients. The
lesson of last year when so much
stock was destroyed on account of
it's being unfit for consumption, has
also been well-earned he thinks, and
they are also profitinS by the expert
ence of Honolulu. He does not care
however, what the reason is so long
as the present standard Of cleanliness
and good order is maintained

derstand This young lady is believed
to be. It will hurt our community
abroad to have It known that we have
japanese teachers in our schools. The
first thing asked by Americans who
want to come here is about what kind
of schools we have. What will people
say if fold that we have Japanese
teachers?
at is an outrage to employ them in
a school lilit the Central Grammar"
Willis r. f-Upe, superintendent of
Public Instruction, when seen this
morning, stated that he did not in
Tend to take any notice of the com
plant, unless forced to. The young
lady was well qualified to teach in
the Central Grammar School, for she
had passed through the eight grades,
and had obtained her diploma. AS a
fact she was well educated, a little
above the average She cannot speak
Japanese, and comes of a good family.
She is only a substitute" at the Cen
trail Grammar, and will retire from
that school shortly and go elsewhere.
Mr.. Pope could see no reason for OBJ
jecting to the young lady merely be-
cause she was a Japanese. She has
been only teaching since September
last, when the last term re-opened.
Governor Frear when asked what
he thought of the complaint regard
ing the appointment of a Japanese
school teacher, replied that he hat
not thought of it, as he had been bus!
on other matters. He thought tina
probably the girl could speak Englisl
better than some of the other teach
ers, but the fact of her being ia

There were plenty of teachers of 9th

being made against them. But as n
said before. he had not given tn,

The teacher whose employment
caused the discussion called on Super
intendent Pope this morning and re-
signed. She is Miss Toxic Miamoto.
She said that she didn't like the no
toriety brought upon her and preferred
to give up her position.

Central College Faculty Recital.

Central College Faculty Recital.
One Of the best concerts ever
given in Lexington was the one
presented by the musical faculty
of Central College in Murrell
auditorium last Monday evening,
The audience was exceedingly APP
%preciative, as such a meritorious
entertainment deserved, and it
was the unanimous verdict of
those present that the performers
had covered themselves with
glory.
Following was the program:
Prelude G major Chopin
Nocturne, D fiat Chopin
Intermezzo, B minor Schumann
Miss Addie Givens Wynne
II Barbiere di Siviglia Rossint
Cavatina-U na voce POGO fla
Mrs. A. w. Allen
Nachtstdck Schumann
Staccato Etude Rubinstein
Mr.. D. F. Conrad
A Song-Cycle-In San Nazaro
.............. Woodman
(a) In San Nazaro's Garden
~ In San Nazaro's Cloisters
(c) The Monks of San Nazaro
(c) In Nazaro's Garden
Mrs Allen
Concerto, G minor Mendelssohn
Andante
Presto
Miss 10 Hinesley
Miss Wynne was at her best
and in her opening numbers set
a high standard for the remain
der Of the program. Probably
the d flat Nocturne of Chopin,
with its exquisite expression and
artistic phrasing, was the most
pleasing in her group. Beside
her solo work, Miss Wynne play
ed the accompaniments for Mrs.
Allen with marked sympathy and
understanding.
Many of the audience express
ed the opinion hat Mrs. Allen
sang better than ever before. Her
c%olorature work in the operate
number was wonderful and her
voice showed remarkable range
and flexibility. But in the
Song-cycle, which she gave
for the first time in Lexington,
was one Of the most artistic
pieces ever accomplished by a
local singer. Her enunciation
was perfect and her portrayal of
emotion superb. The applaus
was indeed enthusiastic.
Mr.. Conrad, the head Of the
music faculty, more than sus-
tanned his great reputation as a
pianist. After the quiet and
beautiful Nachtstueck, the bril-
liant Staccato Etude made one
wish to rise up and cry Bravo
The strength, accuracy and pre-
cision of attack were marvellous.
After each number the audienc
involuntarily wondered if the
next would be quite so good but
the performers maintained the
excellence of the program and
the last number was a fitting eli
max. Miss Hihesley, accompan.
led by Mr.. Conrad on second
piano, without doubt astonisheC
even her most ardent admirers
Her attack, her technique, hel
phrasing and her expression were
amazing.
With such pianists as Mr.. Con
rod, Miss Wynne and Miss Hines
ley, and such a singer as Mrs
Allen, the music faculty Of Cen
trail college is without doubt
one of the strongest not only II
Missouri, but in the entire coun
try. The concert Monday nigh
was a triumph individually ant
collectively for this faculty.
