Young Composer

%. w Kerngeld d 15year-oli lad,
has just been honored by the pro-
duction by the famous Philharmonic
orchestra, under the direction of Ar
thur Nfkisch, of a dramatic overture,
his fourth work of Importance.
The Nikisch concerts ware musical
events of the first Importance in mtisi- :
cal Berlin and when the programme
was announced musical critics and
habitual concertgoers worried their
heads over the identity of this mys-
terious composer whose work had been
selected for such signal Distinction
Disregarding the youth of the COM
poser the critics have praised the work
highly as showing complete mastery of
the art of orchestration and modern
musical technique and tile experience
of composer of years training. A
certain lack of originality to be ex-
pected in SO young a musician under
tho influence of composers like Strauss
was the chief criticism brought against
him and this he is expected to out
grow.

Tennessee he issued a great many par
dons to men and women confined In peni-
-tcntiaries or jails in that state. His repu-

in his being besieged by everybody who
had a relative incarcerated. One <morn-
ing an old negro woman made her way
into the executive office and asked Tay-
lor to pardon her husband, who was in
jail.
"What's he in for?" asked the governor
.'Fo' nothmin' but stealin' a ham, ex-
planned the wife.

Too Prosperous

Gustav Woelferling. an sergeant
in the German army, has just been
sentenced to 10 years hard labor as
penalty for too much prosperity. -
Woelferling was long detailed as Sec
rotary at the military headquarters at
Thorns, near the Russian frontier, where
he enjoyed the utmost confidence and
had access to confidential military plans.
Early In 1872 he resigned from the army
with the best wishes of his superior Of
ficers, but suspicion was aroused when
after few months of quiet life he be-
gan to spend money freely and place
mortgages on scale all out of proper
tion with his former pay and pension.
The military authorities had him
closely watched and through counter
espionage and in other ways finally
established that the trusted sergeant had
for years been betraying to the Russian
authorities mobilization plans and other
material of great value to them In case
of war.
After secret trial he was given the

 CRED|TABLE SHOWING
Increase of Business Clearly Shown in all Departments. City Service
 Extended to 4016 Patrons.

An inspection of the local pOstoffice made by PostOffice Inspector C. F. Dut- ton has among other things brought to light the fact that 10I6 local residents are now being served by the free city mail delivery service. Inspector Out
 ton spent Tuesday and a short time yesterday morning here going over the local office with Postmaster J. O. Null
 len
 The city route which was installed
 but a little over two months ago has
 been constantly extending it's service
 until the greatest number of patrons
 yet served are now being extended the service. all once a day and the busi-
 ness men twice each day. As a whole
 the inspector seemed thoroughly
 pleased with the present run of matters relative to the service with the eXcep-
 tion of the view taken by a majority
 Of the patrons. His displeasure is due
 to the fact that a great many patrons have as yet failed to provide suitable receptacles for their mail or further more to properly number their houses
 with the aluminium figures. This is a matter that was primarily asked of every patron early in the history of the route. and while some have needed still more have failed to see anything in it at all.
 The inspectors visit to Tempe has also shown that there has been a de cided increase in the business of the ! Iocal postoffice department during the 1 last year The rural routes as well are i daily extending service to an added l number of patrons.
