new DEPARTMENT
At The Normal, In Charge of
Miss Leila Ellen
Mckee.

10 meet the demands OF many
students, a new department has
been established at the Normal
School. There have been numer-
GUS requests from students for
private instruction in voice cul-
ture, and after considering the
application of about sixty exper-
fenced teachers, President Crabbe
and Professor Koch have selected
Miss Leila Ellen Mckee as the
best qualified and most highly
trained musician to undertake
the work.
Miss Mckee will not only
teach voice but also violin and
piano, and is equally superior in
each. She has studied under the
best masters and has had consid-
cradle experience as teacher.
She comes from one of the
best families of Danville. Her
grandfather, DR.. ]. L. Mckee,
was for a number of years asso-
ciated with Central University.
Many of our older residents will
recollect her uncle, ]. Lapsley
Mckee, who was at one time pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian
Church here. Her father, S. l..
Mckee, was a Presbyterian min
lister in the Eastern part of the
State. Her aunt, Miss Leila Nc
Kee, was President of Western
College, at Oxford, O., for sixteen
years.
Miss Mckee studied violin un-
der Henry Froelich, of Cincinnati
and under Fritz lite, first violinist
of the Theodore Thomas Orches-
ira, of Chicago. She studied pia-
no under Miss Augusta Porter of
Western College, and under Mrs.
Stillman-Kelley, of Cincinnati.
She also had a splendid training
in voice at the Cosmopolitan
School of Music and Dramatic
Art, of Chicago, and took ensem-
bic with Henry Eames and DR..
VIM. Carver Williams. Her
technic on both piano and violin
is remarkably we'll developed.
Her voice is a very pure, sweet,
lyric soprano of high compass.
AS she is a young lady of great
culture and refinement, and of
charming personality, the school
is to be congratulated on having
secured her services, and Rich
mond is fortunate in having such
an accomplished musician as a
permanent member of the music
fraternity.

The Attorney General holds
that the extra help bill is constitu-
tional and advises the Auditor to
draw warrants for the same. He
claims that the constitution does
not prohibit the Legislature by a
joint resolution from employing
such help as it needs, but that
the constitutional prohib bition
merely prevents the House and
the Senate from acting independ-
emily on the matter.
But just any old thing to cir
cumvent the constitution goes at

HOG IN STREET COSTS
TOWN $3.50 IN SUITS

Koshkonong, Mo, March "a The
propensity of hog belonging to J. n.
Boak to get out and rot fir himself
has cost the town $40 in court costs
and the end of the litigation is not in
sight. A jury in the Ozark county
circuit at Gainesville has just decided
that the hog has the right and that
the owner Of the porker was equally
right in refusing to pay fine for
violation of town ordinance.
Boak was convicted and fined in the
town court here two years ago for vio-
lating an ordinance prohibiting hogs
running at large. He appealed to the
circuit court. The case went to Tex
as county, where jury returned ii
verdict in his favor. The town CT
Koshfeld appealed to the Springfield
court of appeals, and the judgment
was reversed and remanded. A change
CT venue was then taken to Ozark
county, where Boak won again. Though
the costs now total 500, it is probable
the town authorities will appeal a sec
ond time.

rang up a couple more on an error, a
triple by Jay Kirke and sacrifice fly
that is credited to Gardner. A single
from the bat of Hilliard and home
run poked over the fence by Jay Kirke
in the fifth produced two runs and
ended the scoring for the adopted
Muckalees. Albany scored one in
each of the sixth, eight and ninth in
nings.
Jay Kirke, Billy Southworth and
Billy Stump had good day with the
stick. Each of the boys poled out two
satellites. Kirke's two bingles went for
seven bases, as he got triple and q
home run. Southworth got neat tri-
pie to deep center and single, and
Bill Stump made his two on short hits
to left field. Hillyard, Yantz and Gard

Red Bluhm staged correct imita-
