UNIVERSITY LECTURE
COURSE NUMBER
Many Hear a Genuine En-
tertainment at the High
School Auditorium.

Bsraboo music lovers enjoyed
genuine treat last evening in the
Bassett-von Geltch entertainment, the
second in the university extension
course. The auditorium of the high
school building was comfortably filled
with an appreciative audience that be-
came decidedly enthusiastic as the en-
tertainment proceeded. The lure of
The fairy tale was forcibly illustrated
by Mr.. Ba,sett in his tales of the "Four
and Twenty Blackbirds" and "Hump-
ty Dumpty." No less than the chill
dren, the grown ups were held by the
charm of the quaint legends which
came so easily from the readers
tongue. AS a reader, Mr.. Bassett
possesses decided individuality. With
apparently little effort he brings his
audience to an appreciation of his
selections accomplishing his end by
the simple means of earneStneSS, poise
and personality which evidently be-
longs to himself alone. No tricks of
elocution are visible in his work. The
II ,tener feels only the charm Of the read
Ing and the beauty OF the selection.
Some of the numbers were given with
artisticalIy rendered pianoforte accom-
paniment the music for "King Robert
of Sicily" being from the pen CT
Ro sitter q. Cole, formerly director of
music at the state university.
Waldemar Won Geltch cnarmt d his
listeners with the excellence of his
violin playing and gracefully respond
ed to repeated encores. No violinist
has visited Baraboo in recent years
with more delightful program than
that with which Mr.. Geltch charmed
his audience last evening. His inter-
probation of Russian and German
dance music possessed all the abandon
and national characteristics of the
Slav and German and in his varied
numbers his violin expressed the entire
gamut of human feeling,
Perhaps no single number on his
program was more artistically given
than the universally known Schubert's
Serenade. The delicacy with which
the player interpreted this gem of
melody fairly intIanced his audience.
His playing is of the highest excellence
characterized by mastery tech
nique combined with true poetic feel

THR Child T0ILERs.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
No city in the United States, ac-
cording to a recent statement sent
out by the Pennsylvania Child Labor
Association. begins to employ as
many children as does Philadelphia.
New York city. with over three times
as many people, employs In its fac
tories and mercantile establishments
10,l11 children under sixteen. Phila-
delphia employs 1888. according to
the partial returns Of the factory iu-
spectors.
/ The entire State of Illinois reports
but S,077 children under sixteen at
work. In all Ohio there are but 9,019
children regularly at work.
The last annual report Of the chief
factory inspector shows 34,312 chill
dren under sixteen years Of age en-
ployed in the factories and mercan-
tile establishments OF Pennsylvania.
BY the best estimate we can make
there are at least 10000 more en-
ployed about the mines and in the
breakers. That makes 44,312-rnore
than twice as many children as are
employed IN the same industries in the
state Of New York (21 5000, although
New York has a greater population
and almost as many wage earners.
Pennsylvania has more child work
ers than all the New England states

southern states combined II we except
