Is to Sing at Fairmont April
% through Efforts of
Prof. Martin.

Prof. A. W. Martin, director of
music in the state Normal school at
Falrmont has made arrangements to
bring Madame Lillian Nordica, the
great dramatic soprano. to Fairmont
for a recital there the night OF
Tuesday, April %. She will be as
sisted on the occasion by Myron W,
Whitney, basso, and Romayne Sim
mons, pianist.
Madame Nordica is truly versatile,
aside from her vocal and histricnic
powers. AS the prima donna is a
New England woman, she is above
all else patriotic. Madame Nordica
IS enrolled as a Daughter of the
American Revolution and also as a
Colonial Dame and her early Colon
ial documents form one of the most
valuable collections in America. They
comprise nearly one hundred framed
specimens and include bills of sale,
curiously worded and Including the
signatures OF many of the historical
celebrities of the republic. They are
all framed and hung on the walls OF
one of the rooms in the singers pal
atial bungalow at Deal, N. j.. which
is the largest building OF its kind in
the world, having frontage of
twenty-eight hundred feet.
Naturally, Madame Nordica's pa
triotic impulse is directed toward
American music, and in connection
with this the great singer says:
1T is not fair to compare the work
of our young American composers
with the more mature works of a
Wagner. Verdi or a Strauss. am
an American singer and l sing was-
ner and Strauss in German and Verdi
in Italian. Why should I, myself.
therefore, look compacently on while
my mother tongue is ostracized from
the operate stage. sing and enjoy
hearing others sing in French, Italian
German and Russian, but do not
like to have English forgotten.
English properly sung is, with the
exception of Italian, the most musical
language in the world. We have
none of the distressing nasal sounds
of the French, none of the throat!
gutteral sounds of the Germans. or
the somewhat unintelligible conso-
nants OF the Russians. Why should
We. therefore, neglect our own Ian
guage? No, l hail the work of the
young American composer and look
forward with Joy to the day when he
will he given equal chance of inter
probation with other nations"

pose to discuss the iulicial recall,
lbut would notice only the latest sug,
lgestion advanced for the guidance OF
those acting in judicial capacity.
He then quoted at some length from
Colonel IRocseyelt's comment upon
the Lorimer case in his speech OF
March so at Detroit, wherein the
former president charged that SEN
ators Dillingham;, Gamble and Jones
were reactionaries because they rec
commended that Iorimer be permit
tied to retain his seat. Senator
Jones said:
This argument may have caught
the fancy of those who listened with
out grasping the full significance of
the statement made; but no PROPOSE
ton was ever advanced by the Wild
est anarchist more subversive of the
principles of human justice, or hu-
man rights and good government
THAN the principal suggestion con-
tanned in this statement"
Senator Jones argued at length
that the constituents of the senator's
named would want them to vote on
the Lorimer case according to their
own conscience. He said he did
not believe there could be found
within his state one who is such a
'reactionary as to approve "the rule
OF judicial conduct practiced by
Pontius plate. II Mr.. Roosevelt
made the suggestion seriously, it is
shocking. If he made it ignorantly
| it is pitiable. II he made it to secure
votes, It is despicable.
You will note that this is not a
suggestion that the judges should
decide a case according to their
judgment OF the law and the EVIL
idence and then to allow the people
to pass upon it. It goes farther than
/ that 1t suggests that the people
shall make the decision. that the
Judge shall disregard the law AMI
the evidence and try to ascertain
what he thinks the people desire to
be done in the case and then act in
accordance with what he believes Is
their judgment. This proposition is
so extreme, so shocking, SO contrary
to all principles of enlightened
jurisprudence, so antagonistic to
the basic principles of judicial action
that have been brought forth in the
crucible of time for the protection
iof life, liberty and property that
can not conceive of the state OF
mind or the purpose that prompted
its utterance. / leave this mystery
for the people themselves to solve.
''If this rule is to- be followed
then judges must instruct juries
that they are not to- decide cases
upon the lawg and the evidence sub
United to them but they must en-
deavor to find out what the public
sentiment is with reference to the
matter at issue and decide it in &C
cordance with that. Judges. instead
of instructing the Jury as to what
the law is, should try to tell them
what the public sentiment is"
Senator Jones said he wondered
a few weeks ago why it was that at
torneys would not allow Colonel
Roosevelt to act as a juror. He
added: 81 understand it now"

DOUBLE BONEHEADS

IN NATIONAL GAME.


Double boneheads are rare IN
bGseball-scarcer than hens teeth, an,
naturally so. for the completion OF a
bOnehead requires vigilance and quick
thinking by the opposition. Still, dou-
bic concretes happen ever and anon
the famous one, possibly, being that
pulled by Cozy Dolan and Harry Cess
Ter at Chicago, several years ago.
ON this occasion, Dolan had reached
second in the ninth. and one was
down, the score at the time being In
favor Of the cubs by a one-run mar
gin. The next batter hoisted a lone
fly over center field Gessler grabbed
the ball, and deciding that ii was the
third out tucked the ball in his pocket
ard blew for the clubhouse.
Dolan, instead of taking advantage
of the break to score the tying run
also figured that il was the third out
and followed Gessler across the field,
while a raving mob Of players from
both teams surrounding them. tried
to impress the horror of the situation
upon them. Artie Holman finally took
the ball away from Gessler. chased Do .
Ian To the clubhouse. and made the
putout at the edge of the bath tub.
That was the richest double break on
record but there have been a few
others almost as funny.

CAN BE TAUGHT TO BAT.
6ris Lord Example of the Value OF
Careful TRAINING.

Careful Training.
.Bris Lord. the steady left fielder
of the Athletics. Is an example of o
player who can be taught to bat.
Bris has always been a fair hitter.
but the years that he has been in. the
300 class have been few.
Lord batted a scant .254 IN 1910.
but his average was pulled down by
batting slump while with Cleveland.
In the middle of the season Lord was
traded TO the Mackmen. and his bat
ting Immediately improved. In the
games he played with the Athletics in
1910 Lord batted close to the 800
mark.
Las season saw Bris do the best
batting of his career. He was care
fully tutored by Mack down south last
spring, and Connie broke him Of the
habit of hitting bad balls. He also
coached Bris into place hitter. and
the stout man from Upland can now
whale the ball to any field.
So well did Lord improve i'm batting
last season that he was credited with
an official percentage of $40 in 1884
games. an exceedingly clever show
ing. There is no reason why Bris
should not continue to be a 300 hit
ter.
on the defense Lord has always
ranked as topnotcher. He is no
greyhound for speed, but covers
about as much ground as any left
fielder. He is an expert Judge of q

crack of the bat. He is particularly
effective in gathering In long drives
