LARGE LAMP PLANT
SEEKS A LOCATION
Castle Auto Lamp Co., Ames-
bury, Mass, Officials Are
in the City. ~

| Two representatives of the Castle
Lamp company of Amsbury, Mass, F.
e. Castle, president, and Henry j.
Quinn, general manager, are in this
city today inspecting the factory build
ing formerly occupied by the Rich
mond Manufacturing company, with
a view of purchasing it and locating
the big lamp concern here. The Cas-
tie Lamp company supplies auto lamps
to nearly all the large motor car con-
Germs in the country and is flourish
ing concern employing between three
hundred and four hundred men.
Mr.. Castle and Mr.. Quinn were TAX
en- to the old Richmond Manufacturing
company factory this forenoon by Sec
retary Jordan of the Commercial club
and General Manager Ashley of the
westcott Automobile company and it
appeared to be satisfactory to them.
THE company's twenty year lease on
the factory it now has in Amesbury
expires soon and the officers of the
concern desire to locate in the middle
west, which is the center of the auto
mobile manufacturing industry If the
concern was brought here it would az
pect no bonus. All its officers desire
is suitable location and they believe
Richmond would be an ideal place
because of its central location, its
good railroad facilities and excellen,
labor conditions.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
HAD MAY CONCERT
Interesting Event Was Held
at the Hibberd School
Wednesday.

The Thirteenth May concert of the
Hibberd school given yesterday after
noon in the high school auditorium
was largely attended and successful
affair and one of the best concerts
ever given by any of the schools.
The program, published in full in
the Palladium, was carried out and
included songs, choruses and quar-
tette numbers by members of the
Music Study club with a violin solo by
Miss Cornelia Shaw, and two numbers
from the high school orchestra.
1t was not the excellence of the
concert alone that was significant al
though the very high grade of musical
efficiency shown by the pupils would
have been the concerts justification
for having been given.
But its Significance was greater
than this.
1t was an evidence of the democracy
of this country's educational methods
and the value of the latter's aesthetic
results.
German, American, Irish, Negro
stood side by side and responded to
the chorus masters baton and the
piano accompanist.
1t was a local example of the melt
ing-pot" from which issue American
citizens.
Fine Musical Training.
And in the careful musical train
ing given in the public schools, under
the Incompatible direction of Mr.. Ear
hart, lies the hope of the future musi-
cal culture of the community. The
children are being trained to an ap-
probation of the technical side of mu-
steal art and also to be able to apply
this knowledge with their own voices
The phrasing, the pianissimo and
fortissimo effects achieved, were as.
tonishing considering the youth OF
the performers, this being distince
even with the kindergartners.
The German songs were presented
with charming musical and linguistic
effect, and the three songs by the
i, boys chorus were delightful. The
Woodland Song" by Harvey Worth.

Miss Cornelia Shaw, one of the vio

upon her appearance and played ar
excerpt from Massenet's 'Thais" with
appreciation IL its musical and dra
matte appeal.
Miss Ruth Peltz accompanied the

conclusively that Captain Smith of the

dangerous ice conditions that sur

in the history of England. the court
of inquiry appointed by the British
government to probe the Titanic dis
aster. began it's inquiry in the London
Scottish drill hall, Westminster. to-
day Lord Mersey, who has gained
deep knowledge of maritime affairs
through his connection with the ad-
miralty court, presided.
The court has almost unlimited pow
er and. in addition to trying to fix
the actual responsibility for the disas-
ter, is to consider how far the regu-
lations of the British board of trade
were responsible for the loss of more
than 150 persons. English marine
laws may be completely overhauled as
a result. The investigation will be
more thorough than that conducted by
the United States senate.

was not joy forever:
ODE TO THE soUEAKY CHALK
o chalk, in whitish fatted sticks,
0 chalk, that makes a mark so gray,
To thee a sonnet we will fix
0 chalk, we wish thee far away!
Before you came to see us, love-
We had some sweetly yellow chalk,
Which made mark as white at dove,
And never used to squeak or squawk
Squeaky, squawky, scratchy chalk
Twill take us long to wear thee down;
o chalk, from n. H. S. please walk
Then we at thee will never frown.
Oh chalk that comes in straight stout
sticks,
Have pity on us Sophomores;
Geom. with thee we up do mix,
Fall and break thee, on our floors.
o chalk, that sings so loud a song,
That weareth out in sixteen years;
That comes in sticks so gently long,
Hear us weep our briny tears.

THE GOBLIN FRIAR."
One of the Specters That Are Said to
Haunt Newstead Abbey.


Haunt Newstead Abbey.
| Newstead abbey, the home of Lord
Byron, has the reputation of being
! haunted by more than one specter,
and many curious noises and strange
sights have been heard and seen by
residents and visitors there. But the
best known and most noted specter
! connected with the place and immortal
ized in Byron verse is the Goblin
Friar." The particular chamber which
this specter is supposed especially to
frequent and which is known par
excellence as the haunted chamber
adjOins Byron's bedroom. Lord Byron
and many others not only believed in
the existence of the Black Friar, but
asserted that they had really seen it.

HAYDN AND THE ROD.
When the Budding Composer Was
FIoeged by Royal Command.

Floeged by Royal Command.
An amusing incident of the healthy
boyhoOd of the great composer, Jo-
seph Haydn, is given by Mary Maxwell
Moffat in her biography Of the Aus
trian empress. Maria Theresa.
When Won Reuter- became choirmas-
ter of St. Stephens cathedral he had
Joseph Haydn among his pupils.
During a visit to the Hungarian
Prince Esterhazy, in 1913, Maria The
resa took occasion to say a word of
praise to Haydn, who had composed
the music of the opera given in her
honor and had conducted the perform
ance. She expressed the conviction
that she had seen him before, although
she could not remember the occasion.
The last time your majesty was
pleased to take notice of me-" said
Haydn, you ordered IKE good thrash
ing"
THAT does not sound like me-" re-
Joined the empress. How did it hap
pen?'
Then Haydn told of a Whitsuntide
when, with other pupils of Won Reuter-,
he had been brought to Schoenbrunn to
sing in the chapel. Between the serv-
ices the boys took to clambering over
the scaffolding of the new wings of the
palace The empress caught sight of
them and sent word forbidding the
dangerous sport But the attraction
of the scaffolding was irresistible. On
the following day the boys were again
risk,ng their necks. When Maria
Theresa expostulated with Won Reut-
ter his surmise that the rlngleader was
that young scamp, Joseph Hadyn,"
led her to suggest that the rod be used
to improve his memory.

in an instant was crossing the TIRES
