Negro Kills Another in Pool Room
Saturday Night.

Lancaster, July 5.-Another kill
ing was added to the number in Lam
caster, when Hazel Short, colored,
stabbed and almost instantly killed
Tom Ely, also colored, in a negro
pool room on White street last night
at 10 o'clock. 1t seems that the ne
groes had few words. Short ripped
out his knife and without warning
lunged at Ely, striking him Just over
the heart. Ely died in five minutes.
Short made his escape, but Sheriff
Hunter started on. his trail and
caught him just after daybreak Sun
day, three miles west of town, and
placed him in Jail. This is the Sec
ond killing in this pool room in less
than two months.

HOME INDUSTRY.

Well in a public address and is a fin,
thing IL carried into actual practice
but the man who advises his neigh

some other town or city, is setting a
mighty poor example and falls far
short Of being a good citizen.
The home printer, the home furni-

zen who advises his neighbors to
patronize home industry. but spends
his own money elsewhere. And who
can blame them?

Plans of the Copper Country
Commercial club for the Year

The Copper Country Commercial
club is a business enterprise. Its bust
ness is the development OF all the i'm
terests of copperdom. Therefore, its
business is everybodys business and
everybody has a right to know what
the club expects to do for the copper
country during the coming year.
During the new year the Copper
Country Commercial club hopes to;
Bring in at least half-dozen stable
industries which VIII furnish employ
girls; which will thrive, and grow and
add To the prosperity OF copperdom,
Conduct trade extension tours TO
Marquette, Ishpeming and Negaunee,
and possibly other iron country points.
Continue on an even greater scale
the publicity campaign which was so
successful during the first year.
Prepare and publish a general de-
scriptive booklet, setting forth the adj
vantages of copperdom from every
viewpoint; illustrate this booklet Law
ishly, and distribute thousands OF cop
les To the centers where it will do most
good.
Persevere in preaching the gospel
of optimism, faith in home, faith in
faith in self.
Convince not only the outside world, !
but our own doubters, that the copper |
country is a good place to live in.
Organize a 100000 holding compa-

Political Gossip

Marquette county voters need have
no fear that they will not be ably rep
resented in Congress if they vote foI
Senator W. Frank James at the COM
ing elections. says the lshpeming Rec
ord. Senator James is not only cap
able but he is independent. lie is
not a corporation man, but he is right
~ OF the opinion that Congress is no
place for man who is essentially
against the corporations. He is no So
Cialst but he believes in fair play FOR
the common laborer In other words,
Senator James is broad minded enough
to realize it is the people, and all the
people whom he is TO serve.
When the corporations want serv-
ice Of Senator James, all they have 10
do is TO ask it Of him, and if the re-
quest is at all reasonable Senator
James will come across" If the work
ing man has grievance which he
wants adjusted, and if he comes to
Senator James with his troubles, the
senator will do all in his power to get
results.
Senator James will be our next con-
gresham. That is practically fore
gone conclusion. He has this district
pretty well lined up, and is popular
with all classes Of voters. And when
a man like James Fisher, popular and
capable as he is, withdraws voluntarily
from the congressional race in Senator
James favor, it is a pretty sure sign
that it will be easy shedding for the
Hancock man.

Saws the Ironwood Times:

says the lrOnWOOd Times:
James Fisher. Of Calumet, made the
announcement last Saturday that he
had withdrawn from the race for the
Republican nomination for congress-
man from this district. The announce
mcnt was made following a conference
with Frank James, and Mr. Fisher
stated that he would do everything
possible to assist in the nomination
and election Of Mr.. James. This will
be a pleasing bit of information to the
people of the iron counties, who were
not particularly interested i'm the cop
per country viewpoint which resulted
in the placing Of two candidates for
the Republican nomination for con-
gresham in the field from that district
and were well aware of the injury NJ
the party which must result from
such "A situation. The withdrawal of
Mr.. Fisher leaves the field To Mr..
James alone and thus insures his nom
ination without a struggle. 1t is very
probable that Mr.. James would have
been nominated even had MIR. Fisher
remained in the race, but the con-
test could hardly have been carried
through TO a finish without leaving
more or less OF the scars of bate,
with the resultant injury to the sue
cessful candidate. AS the situation has
now cleared, it not only assures Mr..
James nomination, but practically
means his election. With the field TO
himself, and with the excellent record
he has made in the state legislature.
We will have little difficulty in showing
under I-and-I-alone Macdonald in the
election next November.

TO SUIT THEMSELVES

Since the introduction of grand opera in
English on a large scale by the Aborn
Grand Opera Company there have been
wrangling among the music lovers wheth-
er or not the translations are poetic. sing

said, who maintain that grand opera is
only worth hearing in the original
Orville Harold, a popular member of
the Aborn company and who is here this
week for ~ six-day stay in Faust and
Lucia, answers this characteristically
century eat our herrings raw and our
eggs without salt simply because Moses
and his followers did it?'
Since the Aborn company began ex-
plotting grand opera in English, So that
the masses in this country could grasp
the true meaning of the story that was
being enacted at the same time that the
music of the greatest masters was being
imbibed, there have been contentious that
tina true beauty of the original works
were being garbled and distorted.
"One who sings in translated opera"
says Mr.. Harold, come in contact with
many different versions, it is true, and
naturally he selects from each version
the portions he likes best so that his indi-
vidual Interpretation of certain role is
almost entirely different from another
artist singing the same role. Consequent
ly the wrangling about the merits or de-
merits OF the translated opera is of little
value. Whether an opera is we'll adopted
or not is not shown by any printed IL
bretto, for each member of the cast is
changing the lyrics to suit the eccentric
tiles of his own voice and the enunciatory
European singers almost invariably
form their own versions instead of hold
ing strictly to the words and directions
furnished by the librettist. This is quite
for every singer finds that he
can produce more perfect tones on one
syllable than on another. He is partial
to the words that contain his pet syllable
and so the Italian, French and German
and some English singers take the lib
erty of changing the lyrics accordingly.

MOROSCO'S MIXTURE
WILL BE POPULAR

Oliver Morosco has evolved a new
scheme of production which is sure to
arouse widespread discussion. With the
assistance of his mechanical force at the
Burbank Theater. Los Angeles, he is
working out a play to be presented there
in the near future, in which moving
pictures will be utilized to fill the spaces
between the scenes Of the acted drama
Owing to the limitations of the stage
and the brief time in which a drama
tist is permitted to tell his story a the
atrical performance is more or less
cramped. In the moving pictures the
producers are not subject to such re-
straints. The average play can only use
three or four stage settings and while
these are being set up the action of the
story is suspended 1t is Mr.. Morosco's
aim to fill in the time of these Interrupt
tions to reveal the further developments
Of the characters and by utilizing the
screen in conection with the cinemato-
graph he keeps his performance intact
and shows the movements of the per-
sonages in the story outside OF the lin
tied environment of the restricted stage
settings.

dramatic author and member of the
Academy, is TO look after the theatrical
and literary columns of the same paper.
