House Votes to Dispense with
Five Regiments.
CLAIM TO SAVE MILLIONS A YEAR
Amendment Not Endorsed by Military
Affairs Committee and Repub-
leans Will Fight Hard to
Prevent Passage.

Washington, Feb. 10.-A raid on the
cavalry branch of the army was made
by the Democratic house, which voted
into the army appropriation bill an
amendment offered by Representative
Hay of Virginia. Mr.. Hay says his
amendment will save the &C. eminent
$4,376, 253 year, as it reduces The reei-
ments of cavalry from fifteen to ten,
or by $3.50 men and 225 offers.
The amendment was not endorsed
by the military affairs committee and
was bitterly fought by the Republican
side of the house Despite this it was
adopted, but it undoubtedly will be the
subject OF prolonged discussion when
the army bill is reported from the com
mittee Of the whole next week.
Mr.. Hay, in urging the amendment
declared that the United States army
was { y heavy in cavalry regiments
having fifteen regiments in that army
to thirty Ieaiue rts ( f infantry, or one
half. In the British amy the cavalry

of Illinois. Kahn Of California, Butler
of Pennsylvania and Anthony of Kan
sas and ether Republicans opposed the
amendment chdraoterizing it as 'un
sound military Iciicy' and declaring
that no such change in the army or
ganization should be made until the
army authorities had reported a com
prehensive adjustment scheme.
Nj Prince endeavored tC secure a:
increase in the appropriation of foul
aeroplanes from s75,O00 to $125,O00
but was unsuccessful, Mr.. Hay explain
ing that the committee had given the
war department sufficient money IL
the bin to build and maintain a fee
of twenty aeioplanes.

Another Sleighride Party.

AS jolly crowd of youngsters as
ever enjoyed a sleighride we're load
ed into big bob by Mel. Wei
born Wednesday evening. They were
from one of the school rooms of
Plymouth, and some twenty-five
were packed in. Mr.. Welborn gave
them a ride about the town and over
the country roads to his home on the
Pretty Lake road, where refresh
ments were served to them by Mrs.
Welborn. Cake, popcorn, nuts,
candy, and other good things COM
prised the spread, and that all had
a good time is proved by the joyous
manifestations of each one After
they were through with their eating
and had played the usual games,
Mr.. Welborn brought them home
safely, each one praising their host
and hostess for making such a pleas
ant evening for them. Miss Slough
and Miss Langdon of the city schools
were in charge of the party.

Indianapolis, Feb. In a state
ment issued from the board Of state
charities a plea is made for the re-
lease of insane persons from county
jails and for their confinement in
state hospitals for the insane as
rapidly as room can be provided.
That many persons held in close
confinement in the county asylum
and there classed as dangerous would
respond to the scientific care they
could receive in the state hospitals
is the belief of the board. In the
statement it is set oat that the care
given insane persons in a county
asylum is too frequently no more
than that of the madhouse," made
notorious through literature and dis
closures in the past, and the equip
ment, it is said, is often no better.
On Aug. 81, 1911, there were about
800 insane persons in this class of
public institutions.

Definition of Newspaper.

The editor of an Ohio paper has
at last found a definition for the
word newspaper. Here it Is:
A newspaper is a thing every
person in town knows how to run
except the editor. 1t is what should
be open for roasts on everybody ex-
cept yourself and a few of your
friends, for whom it should be a
sweet-scented bouquet of praise.
1t is what you want to see the
editor keep your name out of as
soon as you have settled with the
police justice the morning after.
1t is what is just too inquisitive
and horrid when the reporter wish
es to know about the bridge club,
and is mean old sheet that never
gets things right when your name is
omitted from among those present.
1t is what no one forgets to con-
denim for its mistakes, but never
remembers to praise for the good it
accomplishes.

of the bank, as by this means it is in

mass that shows signs of having bro

This will have the effect of minimiz-

of its own weight into the prism OF the
canal. The area to be excavated is
about four acres.
There are numerous cracks in the
earth in the Culebra vicinity, accord

opening being from six inches to a
foot wide, with depth that can only

FRIDAY EVENING THE PLYM-

GAVE ITS INITIAL CON
CERT IN CHURCH.
CONCERT WAS BIG SUCCESS
Miss Yockey, Miss Hoham, Ralph
LEONARD, A. G. Mortland, With
Miss Shafer Accompanies,
Fred Kuhn Violinist.

The Good Book says ''A prophet
is not without honor, save In his
own country, and in his own house.
The occasion for the remark from
the, lips of the Nazarene was that the
people, after his speaking great
words and performing wonderful
deeds, were inquiring by what right
he spoke thus and so. Who was he?
Was he not the Carpenter son,
and was not Mary his mother? By
what authority did he speak so be-
fore them? Being one of their own
people, he had no right to expect
any notice and honor, no matter
what his deeds might be. So on till
the end of time it will be found as
stated by Jesus, that prophet is
not without honor, save In his own
country, and in his own house. "
However this may have been in
oIden days, the Mozart Quartette
we're well received Friday evening
when they gave their initial concert
in the Presbyterian church. The
audience might have been better,
Init other social affairs, and the
extreme cold weather kept some who
otherwise would have been there
awav. The church auditorium was,
however, well filed. That the var
ions numbers were appreciated by
the audience was evidenced by the
applause given each separately and
the ouartette collectively. The pro-
cram as announced was given with
tbe commission of the solo by Mr..
Mortland, his voice being affected
bv a slight soreness of his throat.
As numerous eneores were given to
satisfy the audience, the program
was more than filed.

tertainment than that given last
night by this aggregation of our
own home people, and wherever they

rendered his part in the most pleas
ing manner.
When Miss Yockey comes before
a Plymouth audience she comes with
the prophets handicap in a marked
degree, for since she was a child
she has been called before all sorts
of Plymouth audiences in all con-
ditions, from the humblest funeral
service in the poorest home, to the
best that has been given anywhere.
Last night when she sang "The song
of the Coquette" the audience sat
as if spell bound, and listened as if
hearing her for the first time. She
gave the number without a break,
and when it was finished there was
storm of applause, and she was
called back to give even a more
pleasing little encore, and when "I
hear you calling me" came from her
lips the company seemed to feel the
thrill of joy that comes when one
hears familiar and loved one call

ashamed to sing before any audi

To speak of Mrs. Hoham with her
contralto, that is to many the most
perfect of its kind ever heard, one
can feel himself unconsciously hold
ing his breath. lest some soft note
be married by the least sound. The
highest compliment that can be
paid a performer is when the audi
ence listens intently, and when
Mrs. Hoham rendered Emerson
James "When We're Together, -
this compliment was hers in a mark
ed degree. Mrs. Hoham and Miss
Yockey are sisters, and their voices
are such as blend well, and they fit
into quartette in most pleasing
harmony and effect.
When Miss F'errel Shafer goes to
the piano one can be certain that the
best there is in the instrument will

performance was not a disappoint-
ment to the audience. However,
when she went to the great pipe

of that instrument as well as the
piano. showed the real training and
skill and talent of this young lady.
She was greeted by prolonged ap-
plause, and responded each time to
the wish OF her hearers. Miss Shafer
is a credit to herself, and an honor
to the city of Plymouth.
When Fred III. Kuhn, Jr., takes
his fiddle in hand, he has the un-
divided attention of all at once.
Last night he was at his best, and
when he was playing, the proverbial
pin drop could have been heard, the
audience was so entranced by his
performance To tell it in a word,
Mr. Kuhn is an artict with the
violin, and is able to make his bow

has with him his sister, Miss Irene
Kuhn, who is as perfect an accom-
PIANIST as can be found. She has
from childhood played with her
brother, and they so thoroughly I'M
derstand each other, and are so
drilled together, that there is a
harmony and blending that is hard
to fird elsewhere.
The performance separately and
collectively was a treat, and the
Plymouth Mozart Quartette starts
out with this first performance with
the best wishes of all who heard
them last evening.
