terously, nor too hurriedly, nor with
any suggestion of the modern fever of
excitement; but gaily, serenely, and
with light and happy heart The
many little grace notes and other
adornments of the melody allotted to
the first violin were executed accurate
| ly and delicately, and the cello, viola,
and second violin each did its respec-
tive share with intelligence and a
convincing appreciation of the spirit
of the dance. 1t is this one little
dance, a perfect gem of it's kind that
has saved Luigi Boccherimis name
from falling into the limbo of forgotten
things.
The third and last number was
Haydn's eleventh quartet, which is
written in the key of D minor. 1t is
a compistion through which shines
not only the spirit of the 18th century,
which the French have called 'the
century of enlightenment" love OF
lucidity and order, but also the spirit
of the composer himself for it is full
of freshness, cheerfulness and gen
iality. 1T is the air that is the
charm of music" Haydn once said. So
all his music sings. 1t is seldom a
soaring melody, seldom golden; but it
it always sweet and pure, and silvery.
In the first movement, which was the
best example of quartet writing in the
entire program, the capacity of our
players was decisively demonstrated.
The same quartet gives every instru-
ment interesting and important pass
ages to perform. This the first move
ment of the eleventh quartet does in
a very thorough and workmanlike
And to it's opportunities
every instrument rose IN admirable
form. A little better singing tone on
the cello and a little less timidity on
the part of the viola and then our
quartet will be still nearer perfection.
These performances of chamber
music are a fine addition to the cul-
tural advantages offered by the uni

hanks and our own need of applause.

TELLS OF IDAHO PLANS
Major Fred r. Reed Returns From
San Francisco Where Been Look
ing After State Building.

| Boise Statesman: n:-Effervescing with
enthusiasm, Major Fred R. Reed, COM
| missioner in charge of the Idaho ex-
hibit at the Panama-Pacific exposition,
returned Monday from San Francisco
He is more than pleased with the pros
poets for Idaho receiving much in the
way of benefit along many different
lines from the big show.
Already the state is getting some ad-
vertising from the work it is doing
at the exposition. Just before leav-
ing the city by the gate, Major Reed
gave out an interview telling some
thing of Idaho's plans, and it has been
sent broadcast to newspapers through
out the country.
1t is in part as follows:
Our state is full of enthusiasm for
this exposition which l regard as the
most important ever held.
1T will give an understanding Of
the coast states such as they have
never had. 1t will give honest ex-
ploitation of our resources. l believe
this magnificent epitome of modern
civilization and of it's products will
be the solution of the greatest prob
lens of western development; and
through the exposition and the canal,
the west Is coming into it's own Ida

stage, now has settled down to solid
development and Is reaching out for
its share of world commerce. Three
new railroads or branches of trunk
lines are coming to us.

lot of things which the world needs
in its business. For instance in our
building we will devote hall to show

sandstone quarrying industry. which
is among the greatest in the country,
and it's minerals.
"The Coeur d'Alene mines produce
46 per cent of the entire lead produc-
ton of America, while our silver and
gold production is enormous. We have

CONTRIBUTION BOX
FavOrs a NatatOrlum.

MOSCOW, Mar. 16.-(Editor Star.
Mirror)-Having noticed with distinc
approval your interest in and attitude
towards public affairs, l am led te
bring to your attention, and ask youl
/ interest and support of a proposition
that seems to me to be of consider.
able Importance, and if carried through
will be of benefit to a large number
of our citizens l refer to the estab-
Iishment of natatorium.
The need for an institution of this
kind must be obvious, and the value
unquestioned.
The boy is naturally an amrhibious
animal, and seeks water for swim
ming where ever it may be found. In
Moscow, outside of the bath tubs, he
is forced to the sand pit for the sat-
isfaction of his reasonable desires.
Leaving out the question of the condi-
ton OF the water in this delightful
spot during large part Of the season,
there must be at least the possibility
Of danger where boys gather with no
certainty of there being a capable
swimmer in their number And 1t is
at least surmisable that there may be
a moral danger as well.
What can be done in the matter?
believe that it is quite possible to
formulate plan to establish and sus-
tain in Moscow a natatorium that
could supply the needs of the com
munity nicely, and offer as my sug-
gestion the following:
The organization of committee to
have charge of the preliminary steps
looking towards the building of the
natatorum in such place and under
such conditions that it will be of use to
the students of the university and the
towns-people, and would suggest AS
site that could possibly be secured
through the action of the city coun-
ell, viz: Ash street just north of it's
intersection with Idaho, street that
is now too steep for use, but SO To-
Gated that it would be an admirable
site for the purpose suggested
Arrangements could possibly be
made made with the university au
thorities to run their heating system
from the agricultural building to heat
the water, and perhaps to provide for
the care of the natatorium.
Funds could be raised, either by the
forming Of stock company, or di-
rect contributions of the citizens, the
extent of the plant depending upon the
1esires of the citizens as expressed |
BY the sale of season tickets.
Expense of maintenance to be pro-
gided by the sale of season tickets,
lnless the city should see fit to take
care Of it as a municipal institution |
The city provides play grounds, and |
no more delightful or ben
,ficial play ground could be imagined.
Many other details will naturally
suggest themselves as the plan may
levelop.
Thanking you in advance for any
interest and assistance you may feel

Music of the Spheres. The excerpt

tion for the mysterious, for the things
that lie beyond the realm of knowl-

with the mind but with the heart. Be
cause of it's frequent close harmony
the movement is quite difficult to play,
but Mrs. Hughes and her stu1ents
oyercame the technical dlfflcultles
with notable ease. 1t was quite EVIL
dent that the mutual. sympathy OF the
players, so essential to successful
ouartet-playing because quartet, .un-
like an orchestra, is not an instrument
played upon by one man, the con-
ductor, had been developed to gratl-
fying degree. This mutual sympathy
is the basic condition of success IN
ouartet-playing. 1t is by no means
easy to produce. Professional quartets
greatly deplore change of MEMBER

ly slow to recover from the inevitable
set-backs caused by such changes.
Mrs Hughes is therefore to be con-
graduated heartily upon the degree OF
sympathy she has developed between
the three boys, all of them hitherto
in such playing, and
herself.
The second number was the we'll

FIRST CONCERT
WAS APPRECIATED
FIRST OF SERIES OF CHAMBER
MUSIC RECITALS GIVEN
SUNDAY.
Big Auditorium Was Filled by Music
LOvers-SpIendid Applause Fol-
lowed Each Number.

Yesterday afternoon at o'clock in
the auditorium, the university string
quartet gave its first recital of cham
ber music. That the series will be a
popular one was shown by the great
crowd of students and townspeople
who filled the hall before the stated
hour and who applauded with enthus-
iasm at the conclusion of each num-
ber
The Introductory remarks made by
Mr.. Edward Maslin Hume of the uni
versity resulted in that most salts
factory of all intellectual experiences,
the pleasure of recognition. He in
creased by great deal the power OF
the audience to listen to the music
with intelligent appreciation. He
made a careful analysis of the two
types of music, subjective and OBJ
jective; discussed the career, particul-
ar excellence, and message OF each
composer represented; analyzed in
graphic style the various movements
in the several numbers on the pro
gram; enumerated the special func-
tions of each instrument employed in
quartet music; and explained in de-
tail the essential qualities of good
quartet playing. Mr.. Hulme's excel
lent vocabulary, great skill in the
artistic presentation of his subject
matter, and deep insight into the spir-
itual quality of the music he described
combined to make an address that was
in itself rare treat.
The Star-Mirror reporter who was
present recognized that so meritorius
a. concert deserved the comments OF
musical expert and therefore request
ed Mr.. Hume to prepare for today's
paper a detailed criticism. This he
has very kindly and very ably done,
as follows:

Paris Green as Poison.

Paris green, arsenate of lead, nico-
tine and other similar insecticides are
included in class B of the new poison
law, and those selling them will be
expected to comply fully with the
legal restrictions placed thereon,
otherwise prosecutions will be insti-
tuted because of the deadly character
of some of these drugs. There was no
particular safeguards thrown around
the sale of these poisons until the
enactment of the new law.

druggists OF Idaho participated. The
meeting was called to consider several
features of the new poison law.
VitrOl Must Bear Label.
The question of the sale of blue
vitrol by the merchants in the agri-
cultural sections, and which is used
extensively as a germicide in cleaning
wheat before sowing, was discussed,
and it was agreed that this could be
sold providing a label was placed on
the package giving the names of two
readily obtained antidotes in case of
danger. This product is destructive
to adult human life in quantities of
60 grains OF less, and therefore is in
cluded in the law The labels required
will be furnished the dealers by the
wholesale druggists.
Use FOrmaIdehyde With Care.
Another matter affecting the mer-
chants in outlying districts is the hand
ling of formaldehyde for smut-proof-
ing grain and potatoes. This has gen
orally been sold in bulk, but under the
construction placed upon the new
poison law at the conference it's sale
will not be permitted by merchants un-
less in unbroken packages and over

macist, either in or out of the state,

This same action was taken with |
wood alcohol, or denatured alcohol, |
heretofore sold extensively for the
lighting of gasoline lights and other
purposes.

 ENDORSE FIR. KEEFE
Former Bridgeport Priest Is Likely to Be Sent to Sup
 reme Assembly

Members of White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus of NorWlch and other councils in the eastern part of the state have adopted resolutions favoring Rev. William A. Keefe, pas tor of st. Johns church in Plainheld, as one of the representatives from this state to the supreme assembly to De held in Seattle, Wash, next August. At the last state assembly held Tn Greenwich, Father Keefe's name was presented for membership on the ie- gation to attend the supreme assem- bly at St. Paul in 1914 but he declined to be considered for a place with. the delegatfon Since then his friends have urged that he be a. member of the Connecticut delegation to the 1915 supreme assembly. His name will be presented at the next state assembly of the order.
 His connection with the order dates back to the time when he curate at St. EAugl1stines church in this city, and he is pleasantly remembered by the Knights of Bridgeport for his enthu- siastic interest in the work of the order here.
 Later, while serving as eurate in St. Mary's parish in Norwich, he took an active part in the development and progress that has been so prominent in the recent history of the local coun- eiI.
 But the greatest opportunity for pro noting the welfare of Co1unnbianisnn came to Father Keefe a few years ago when he was appointed state lec- turer for the Connecticut district by John IT. Reddin of Denver, supreme master of the fourth degree. The se- lection was most fitting one, as the lecturer was known as an eloquent and forceful speaker and a di1igent student of. Catholic history of the days
 when knighthood was in flower and was therefore splendidly equipped for his work on the lecture platform : Since his appointment he has vis- ited practically every section of Con- necticut, speaking in halls, churches and assembly rooms, as we'll as mak-
 ing several special trips to New York city and Rhode Island.
 I Father Keefe's last public appear ance in Bridgeport was on February
 12. when he spoke at the Lincoln day banquet of Franklin Bartlett camp, No. II; Sons of Veterans.
