In the opening game between Central

In the contest both pitchers will be at

OLD PRISON NEWS NOTES
Breezy Pichups From Our Contributors

The inquiry is often made concerning
the commonest names and how they origi-
mated. Centuries and centuries ago, man
derived his name from his vocation or trade,
hence the reason for so many Smiths,
Wrights, Turner's and Bakers. A person
having the name Wheelright was a maker
of wheels. Taking the first three names
commonest in England, Scotland, Ireland,
New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston we find that the Smiths win hands
down in all of the above places except
Ireland and Chicago, where Murphy and
Johnson win. For second place Brown is
commonest in Scotland, New York City
and Philadelphia while the third honors are
distributed among the Jones', Kelleys,
Sulivans, Millers, and Andersons.
No doubt many readers of the Mirror
while reclining on their luxurious couches
in their bridal chambers have planned to at
tend some trade school when once more a
free and happy citizen; or maybe having be-
come fascinated with lightning skill of our
tonsorial artists they have dedicated them
selves to this art and contemplate course
at Mr.. Moler college. In any event, re-
garding their choice, the writer desires to
warn them about the shoe trade schools.
Mr.. Cogswell, of Lynn, Mass. has ex-
posed several of these fake schools and is

sharp gasps, Daley crept toward him and
STOPPING turned the body slowly on its
back. AS the wide open, glazed death like
eyes met his, he Sprang to his feet, scream
ing like one gone suddenly mad, rushed
from the building and fled screeching and
moaning down the street. Near headquar-
tiers he was seized by couple of the blue
jackets and hurried before Lieut.. Boles.
They could get nothing from him. He
was bere't of all reason; now moaning like
one in torment, now crying like frighten-
ed child.
The Lieutenant, taking six men, was
soon at the Red Front. Tenderly they
swung the body of Emery in a blanket and
carried him back to headquarters. Here a
young army surgeon, after hasty exami-
nation gave his verdict. "He's alive and
that's all. He may die before we can get
him to the dock. Well try and take him
to the hospital on the Island.''
A few weeks later, Emery, very weak
and the wreck of his old self, but assured
by the surgeon that with no complications
he would soon be on his feet, told his
part of the story.
He remembered nothing after being
struck down, until partially recovering con-
sciousness he saw, as though through haze,
Daley fighting with the Chinaman. Slowly
his vision cleared, and with it came the
realization of his own condition. Concen-
trating his attention on the fight, it brought
home the fact of how badly it was going
against Daley. Glancing about his eyes
rested on his revolver several feet away
where he had thrown it when he fell. Fore
ing himself to his knees he started to crawl
toward it, the blood flowing from his
wounds like river, while his entrails drag
ging sometimes caught under his knees
throwing him to the floor. Several times
he was knocked over and trod upon by the
combatants as they circled the room, but so
preoccupied they never noticed him. Suf-
fering most acute agony, faint and dizzy,
he finally reached the gun. But he dared
not shoot, in his condition, with them NOV
hit Daley as the Chinaman. Thus he lay
and watched them. Fighting off death and
Inconsistencies by sheer force of will
Chinaman sprang forward to finish his das-
tardly work, Emery reeed partly 10 his
feet flung out his hand with the revolver in
it and with gasping cry to Heaven pulled
the trigger.
Providence takes care of those she loves.
The bullet sped true.
Emery never entirely recovered. He was
retired on three-quarters pay and now has a
soft billet in one of navy yards.
Daley was mental wreck for many
months but was finally restored to duty
Among his shipmates when he is around
there is one subject that is strictly tabooed.
That is Cinnamon

THE EVOLUTION OF
WORLDS MUSIC
Continued from page One)

orchestral coloring, Schubert opened
up entirely new paths, In which he
is followed even to this day. Webber, the
first of Germany's great opera composers
was the original author of ugly music for
ugly situations.
This is is very strongly marked in the
VOLTS Glen scene, in which is depicted a
deep mountain gorge with its owls and 9TH
cane. its circle of human skulls, within
which Casper casts the enchanted bullets.
1t was in Webbers opera Friechultz in
the VOLTS Glen scene, that the romantic
school of opera was born. 1t was the first
time that the music itself was as 'devilish'
as the plot. Webber exerted an influence
on composers that has lasted to the present
day, as note the recent opera BY Strauss,
'Elektra, which contains much of this de-
Scriptve music. AS for Richard Wagner,
a separate article would be required to point
out in detail the world wide influence of his
reforms and his music itself. Outing the
Dominant, still greater has the Wagnerian
influence been in the matter of creating new
means of orchestral coloring and dramatic
expression in general. By completing the
orchestral families or groups and subdivid-
ing the instruments IN eaCn group, wagner
created new and ravishing effects which
other composers fastened to copy.
Sir Arthur Sullivan opened new school
of light opera to which we owe the form of
our present day comic operas.
We have a few composers in the United
States whose works entitle them to mention,
Theo. Thomas, Walter Damrosch, Victor
Herbert, Moses Tobani, Reginald DeKoven
and last but not least and in class by him
self, Sousa, the march king. Among the
instruments invented in this country men
tion must be made of the phonograph play
er piano, assembly orchestra organs and
electric pianos.
Of the present day rag time, tango music
and so-called popular songs, suffice to say
that they are heard today and are used for
wrapping paper tomorrow.
In closing let me quote these splendid
words of Elbert Hubbard: emusic vibrates
through mans being and arouses him to
higher life. Not only does his blood cir
culate better, but he knows hetter, under
the vitalizing touch of the beautiful we are
redeemed and our consciousness is filled
with the thought that life is good"

the lasting department.
The April first reports from St. Louis
regarding the outlook for business in the
shoe trade, state that the trade outlook is
good and the situation generally satisfactory.
Business men are still proceeding cautiously
but believe that the tariff will force lower
prices for all staple products. Against this
report we read that over 800, 900 men are
out of work in New York City, 125, 900 in
Chicago, 40, 900 in Milwaukee and IS, 900
in San Francisco.
The United Shoe Machinery Company,
which is the shoe machine trust, recently
declared quarterly dividend on their pre-
ferred stock of one and one half per cent
and two per cent on the common stock
making total yearly dividend of IA per
cent. No one believes that this yearly
dividend represents one-tenth of the net
earnings of this gigantic trust. Millions

public know nothing.
At this stage of the game, business sue
cess calls for courage, knowledge, enter
prise and good Judgment allied to an unlim
tied bank account. One reason why small
store keepers fail, is the lack of accurate
bookkeeping, the proprietors usually think
anyone can keep set of books and that it
is waste of money to hire competent ac-
countant; whereas the truth is it would pay
many times over the cost of bookkeeper's
salary to know if the business is being con-
Quoted on profitable basis.
