Winner of Panama Pacific Prize.

Professor Gabriel Hines, Head of the
Department of Music at the Swarth-
more Prep aratory School, the winner
of the Second Grand Award for musical
composition in honor of the Panama
Pacific Exposition, will play here, as a
member of the Four Artists Company,
Chautauqua Week.
The prize, amounting to S15OO.0O, was
awarded for his composition, 1.-The
pilgrims, " which is descriptive of the
history and progress of the United
States, from Its beginning to the pre-
sent great triumph in the completion of
the great canal. Mr.. Hines will go to
San Francisco next summer to direct
the rendition of his composition by the
great orchestra assembled for the
occasion.
The requirements of the contest were
very rigid. Only musicians of &C
knowledged standing could compete,
and one Of the strictest of the require
ments was that the contestant must
orchestrate his work.
The Four Artists Company, of which
Mr.. Hines is pianist, is one of the
strongest that has ever played on the
Chautauqua platform. Miss Milicent
Melrose, soprano soloist, while the
Senerchio Brothers futist and violinist,
are the other members of the company,
Miss Melrose, is an old friend to all the
Chautaudua towns of last season, while

formers at the concerts of the Winter
Lyceums of the Pennsylvania Chautau-
qua Association.

The Park Bible Conference.

The Bible conference at Mountain
Lake Park has battled against the diff
ticulties of rainy weather and the lack
of knowledge on the part of many
people as to the nature of the confer
ence but Notwithstanding the difficult
ties enough people have listened to the
splendid addresses and sermons to have
created demand for another conference
next year.
DR.. S. c. Dickey, who has directed
the conference, is not only the founder
of WinOna Lake Bible conference,
Winona Lake, Ind. which shares with
Mortified, Mass, the honor of being
the greatest in the United States, but
is the promoter of a series of Bible
conferences held in "a cities last year
and of still larger and more important
series the coming winter.
Plans are complete for magnificent
temperance day at the Park next Sat
urday. The speakers are two of the
most effective temperance orators in
America, Professor Charles Scanlon.
general secretary of the board of tempe
rance of the Presbyterian church, and
the Rev. W. E. Biederwolf, D. D., head
of the comission on evangelism of the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America. with headquarters
in Philadelphia,
DR.. Blederwolf will deliver his lee
ture on Booze"
DR.. Biederwolf will also be one of the
special attractions for Sunday. He will
speak at three o'clock. DR.. F. B.
Meyer of London will be the preacher
at o'clock
The leaders of the music are I'M
surpassed in America. Mr. E. o. Ex-
cell, the leader of the singing, is the
author and composer OF many of the
most popular gospel songs and the
compiler of many songs and anthem
books. Mr. ALVIN Roper, the pianist,
is a positie genius. He can improvise
with marvellous skill and initiate the
chimes in way unequaled by any other
performer. He and Mr.. Excel made a
tour of the world year or two ago.
Another speaker on Sunday will be
the Rev. Perclval Campbell Morgan,
son of the Rev. Campbell Morgan of
London. He will speak at the vesper
hour at $50 o'clock. Mr.. Morgan is a
young man. He has much of the genius
and spiritual insight of his father and
likewise power of his own.

Facts and Incidents Worth Repeating
Original and SeleCed.

At a meeting or the State Liquor
Dealers of Ohio at Colombus Ohio, one
of the delegates, in the course of a
speech on How to Build Up the Saloon
business" gave the following sugges-
tons:
THE success of our business is de-
pendent largely upon the creation of
appetite for drink Men who drink
liquor, like others will die, and if there
is no new appetite created our counters
will be empty, as will be our Golfers.
Our children will go hungry, or we
must change our business to that of
some other more renumerative.
The open field for the creation of
appetite is among the boys. After men
are grown and their habits are formed,
they rarely ever change in this regard.
1t will be needful, therefore, that mis-
slonary work be done among the boys,
and l make the suggestion, gentlemen,
that nickles expended in treats to the
boys now will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been formed.
Above all things create appetite"
The above was given the Anti Saloon
League by gentleman who was pre-
sent at the meeting and made exact
notes at the time of what was said.
The delegate who made the speech sup
posed.tha none but liquor dealers were
present.
Attorney H. r. Downs, of Clarks-
burg, W. Va. says: There were SO
saloons in Clarksburg and they all had
to move out and quit business July l.
Every one of these 80 rooms have been
rented for some other business and
there are no vacant locations. The
Saturday night crowd seems just as
big, although not quite so boisterous,
and the people generally seem hopeful
and think the law is going to work tor

The FairmOnt Fair.

Working upon the theory that
county fair must be general in its ma
ture to attract and please all of the
people, officials of the big exposition in
Fairmont, which will be held for four
days beginning August 18th, have an
nounced that every department will be
well filled this summer A feature
that has been growing steadily since
the first year it was used is Floral Hall,
which contains now only. the exhibits
offered by the ladies but the exhibitions
of the merchants and manufacturing
companies of the country. This sum-
mer. it is announced, that this depart
ment will be among the most interest
ing on the large grounds.
Manufacturers of farm machinery,
household labor savers and in fact all
kinds of machinery in which the public
in general is interested are learning
year after year that one of the best
ways to gain public interest is to show
samples of their machines at fairs.
This month in Fairmont score or
more of firms which make various
machines will have exhibits there and
that section of the big hall and the
surrounding grounds will be noisy with
the whirl of wheels and the exhaustings
of gas engines.
The floor on which Fairmont gand
other merchants will exhibit will be
more interesting this year than ever
before. At this time there has been
more space sold and the fac. that each
exhibitor is desiring additional space
augurs well for more handsome and in
teresting exhibits.
The woman's department will be in
teresting in Falrmont-they always are
and all of these mean that one of the
best places to go when the big fair
starts will be to Floral Hall.
In connection with this hall and its
exhibits Secretary Scott of the associa-
ton, is pointing with pride to the fact
that the show will be a strictly West
Virginia affair. There are but few
signs of exhibits from elsewhere. This

Mr.. F. W. Besley, our hustllng State
Forester has corpse of men at this
time surveying the State forest reserve
at this place and will erect concrete
corners about it. This reserve consists
of about 1900 acres, which was ceded to
the State by heirs of the Hon. John W.
Garrett as State forest reserve. 1t
lays about 5 miles North West from
Oakland and on both sides of the
GAINESVILLE road. Permanent sample
plots will be laid off in various forest
types and improvements will be made
IN half the plots while the remaining
half will be left intact. All the trees
on these plots will be carefully measur-
ed and their number and sizes recorded
so that the increase in rate of growth
due to the improvement, cuttings or
Trimmings, may be secured by again
measuring the stands as the timber
natures. Mr.. Besley was along with
his men for several days and then was
obliged to leave in pursuit of other
duties relative to his office and left the
completion of the work in charge of
three young men who have chosen
Forestry as their profession, namely
