Recommending Gust Omer.

Lewis l.. Clarke. vice-president of the

Supreme Court Justice Blanchard yes
terday to vacate an order for his exami-
nation before trial in suit brought against
him by jacques kryn and Auguste Wau-
ters. members of Belgian firm dealing
in precious stones. for $89.2i5 damages
for false representations.
The complaint states that Lippman

doing business as l.. Tanenbaum d Co.
applied for credit on the purchase of a
large quantity of precious stones and re-
ferred the plaintiffs to the bank and that
relying on statements of Mr.. Clarke. the
plaintiffs sold Mr.. Tanenbaun s89. .2i5worth
of goods. The period Of or edit has passed
and Tanenbaum is now in bankruptcy
The plaintiffs say that Mr.. Clarke stated
that Tanenbaum had paid all his debts.
while nearly all Tanenbaum' available
assets were pledged to the bank for loans
of Sl5O.OOO.
Mr. Clarke's answer is a general denial,
and his counsel. in asking that the order
for his examination he vacated. pointed
out that the plaintiffs were trying to
collect bill not from the bank, from
which emanated the statements in ques-
ton, but from an individual who spoke Q
in behalf OF long time depositor.
Justice Blanchard decided to limit
the examination to questions as to whether
the defendant knew his statements were
untrue when he made them.

In loving remembrance OF my dear
motheA and grandmother. Mrs. Julia
Scott. who departed this life just one
year ago. Sept. 25. 1910:
Although she is absent from US
And one long. weary year has fed
Since we stood by her side In sorrow
And knew our darling was dead.
We love her today. yes We love her
Just as well as we did years ago.
And we miss her, ah. sadly, we miss
her
And our hearts are still aching so.
But one thought comes to us in our
sorrow.
She is free from all sickness and
4 pain
And we trust when our journey is
ended
We will all meet our loved one
again.

VALUE OF MUSIC
At TUSkEGEE'

GROUP OF FAITHFUL WORKERS.

Interesting Account Of How Captain
N. Clark Smith Has Developed the
Musical Side Of Student Life at
Tusksess instituts-Psrsonnsl Of the
Organization and its Achievements.
Tuskegee. Aia.-The Tuskegee Insti-
tute band, under the leadership Of
Captain N. Clark Smith. Is doing splen-
did work in developing the musical
tastes of the people. showing in new
way the possibilities OF the race in
musical accomplishments. At first
thought one thinks OF this organization
as one OF the same type as other musi-
cal clubs that have sprung up in
schools and colleges In the last twenty
i've years.
But. interesting as their work may
be, the personnel Of these students Is
even more so. The band is composed
OF 6fty boys. representing the three
great centers Of Negro population.
Africa. West Indies and a majority Of
the states OF the Union. several com
ing from Perto Rico. They represent
at the same time seventeen different
trades Seven OF them are carpenters.
seven dtS iuEneIS. tueEc uTe Two udI-
ness makers. three printers. three elec-
tricians. one boOkkeeper. three shoe
makers. four plumbers. two brick
masons. two timers. 6ve tailors. one
baker. two }anitors. four architects.
two dairymen. one butcher and one
engineer.
Nearly every one of these students
was taken by Captain Smith I'm the
raw" without any skill whatever and
drilled up to his present efficiency.
Come Of them had never even seen or
heard of their instruments before. and
one only needs to hear them play to
appreciate what Captain Smith has
achieved. tribute to his skill and pa
tience and the boys earnestness.
In short. the plain story is that Cap
tain Smith took the present group in
the raw state two years ago. some OF
them even later. when they could play
nothing. and has brought them to the
point where they play even the old
masters in highly creditable style.
That so much has been done In SO
short a time is accounted for only by
the fact that the boys are willing to
work and do work.
On Sunday there is an extra demand
for music. Drill and Inspection are
held as usual At II O'Clock an or
chestrn composed of twenty five mem
bers OF the band supports the hymns
Mt morning services. In the afternoon
at the band gives q concert to stu
