The city has about 10000 in
habitants. Our armed forces
ashore now number nearly TO-
900.
Seizure of the town not only
stampeded the local government
but brought to an end most of
Cle local commerce and indust-
ry. AS the railroad to the City
of Mexico is not in operation at
Vera Cruz, the traffic with the
interior which gave the seaport

suspended.
On the water side the North
Atlantic fleet is anchored. On
the land side, fifteen miles from

most advanced American out
post is at the works, ten
miles from the city. Farmers
and others inside the Mexican

Thus, in the city the question
Of food supply intensifies the

extremely doubtful.

Readers of the Review may feel
that they are entitled to scold little
because of the lack of local reading mat
ter contained in our columns this week
but it has been impossible to furnish
more owing to the very heavy rush
of business we are trying to carry at the
present time. December is always
very busy month but this year it is more
so than ever. We are already printing
the largest paper in the county but our
merchants have made such demands on
our advertising space that only GER
tain amount of room is left over for
other matter. However, we wish to
assure our readers that the advertise
ments are really far more interesting
reading at this season of the year than
almost anything else. Everyone of them
is full to the edge with good suggestions
for the Christmas gifts that all are look
ing for. We note in reading them that
the advertisers suggest that you do your
shopping at home by sitting down
with pencil and ads and marking
the things you want to buy SO that when
you leave the house you will know just
what you want and where to find it. This
is good suggestion and should be follow
ed by all who have much shopping to do.
The clerks in the stores will be grateful
too if this is done for it will do much to
tighten their heavy tasks. And besides
all that, you will have plenty of time to
have good time the week of the NUM-
cipal Christmas Tree Celebration with
out worrying about last minute gifts.
If the ads do not furnish all the Christ
mas reading you want, there is the story,
christmas" It grows better every
week and reading it will make you want
to keep Christmas in the good old happy
way. If you do not want stories, there
is half a page of most interesting matter
on the subject of city improvements
and what they have cost the past season.
That will be found on page II, in the
supplementary sheet of the paper. Don't
miss it if you are interested in knowing
what it cost to pave Minnesota Street
and to make sewer improvements, etc.

The string Quartet has rightly been
called the flower of instrumental music.
The greatest composers, approaching
its worth, have written many of their
noblest compositions in this form. Music
lovers have always regarded the string
quartet as the most perfect expression
of the highest music, and the growth
of public interest in it is evidenced in
the popularity Of such organizations as
the Flonzaley and Kneisel quartets.
The playing of the McPhail String
Quartet combines beautiful tone, rich
and sonorous, with excellent ensemble.
Under the direction of William McPhail
it has reached point of perfection rarely
attained by similar bodies.
Every member an artist of the high
est order and especially fitted for his re-
spective part, the contribution Of each
to the artistic results of the whole is
invariably reflected in the perfect blend
ing of tone and compelling charm of
Interpretation which characterizes the
playing of this quartet.
William McPhail is violinist of ex-
traordinary gifts and attainments, pos
sessing that rare combination of technic,
temperament, and tone which has won

for him an enviable reputation among the
leading concert artists of the north
west.
Appearing as soloist with the Mime
apolis Symphony Orchestra at two Of
their regular concerts, Mr.. MacPhail
received high praise for his brilliancy of
execution, dignity of expression and
sound musicainship.
Since returning from four years study
in music centers of Europe, his musical
activities have been many and important,
in the concert field as we'll as in the
studio, where he, has achieved tremendous
success as an exponent of the Sevcik
method.
The repertoire of the MacPhail Quartet
comprises nearly the entire chamber
music literature, including works by
Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Schu-
bert, Grieg, Dvorak, etc., besides many
arrangements of we'll known compo-
sitions by American, German, Scandi-
navian and other we'll known composers.
The program for tomorrow evening,
includes string quartets, violin solos,
cello solos, trios for violin, viola and
cello and duets for two violins.

DEBATE TEAM CHOSEN.

At the tryouts, held last Monday
night, Elizabeth Dougher, Armin Koch
Ter, and Walter Wiedenmann were chosen
to represent New Ulm High School in
the coming debate with Mapelton.
Monday night, however, word was re-
ceived from Mapleton that they could
not be ready on the date set, thus giving
the victory to the local High School.
New Ulm will therefore debate one Of the
winners Of the first debate of this dis
trict. Walter Miller, Meta Sell and
Eta Kogge were selected for the second
team. The first team is upholding the
affirmative Of the government Of owner
ship of telegraph and telephones question.
The second team will debate the negative
side Of the same question with some
nearby high school.

day in the Senior English calss. Interest
in debating is keen, especially in the
county option question which is the sub

stacks of material in search of elusive
arguments with which to prove that the
United States should give the PHILIPPINE
Islands their independence. At the last

question Of student government in New

MEMS CLUB REVIEWS WORK.

More of the tragedies of society are
unveiled and settled in the offices of
doctors and lawyers than are ever known
to the rest Of the world" said Attorney
w. H. Dempsey in his address before
the Mems Club of the Methodist Church.
The lecture was given before a large
crowd in the lecture room of the church
last Thursday night. Mr.. Dempsey
spoke on. ''The Tragedies and Comedies
of Lawyers Work" Supt. H. c. Hess
presided over the meeting.
Mr.. Dempsey began his talk by as
sembling quite formidable array Of
jokes which he showered upon his
audience without giving them a breath
ing spell between laughs. The main part
of his address, however, dealt with serious
topics. He told how lawyers are con-
tinually called upon to advise peaceful
settlement of multitude of cases the
existence of which the public never
dreams. About one out of every fifty
cases of social crime, according to Mr.
Dempsey, ever gets as far as the courts.
In this way tie lawyer deals more often
than any one else with the elemental
natures of men and women. His work
is such that it offers unlimited oppor-
tunities for true social usefulness
After the lecture the meeting was given
over to a general discussion of allied
subjects. The extreme verbosity of
legal papers came in for its share of
criticism. Mr.. Dempsey remarked that
law is more bound by precedent in this
matter than anything else, but some
progress has been made to remedy this
fault. The present jury system, and
the method of securing grand and petit
juries were discussed and criticised.
Before the lecture, the officers for the
next term were elected. Supt. H. G.
Hess was reelected President, and Mr..
G. A. Ottomeyer vice-president. Mr..
Thor Snilsberg was unanimously elect
ed to the office of secretary-treasurer.
Afterwards the chairman appointed DR..
o. C. Stricken, and DR.. C. w. Miller
as committee to prepare q program
for the next meeting.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS IN BASKET
BALL.

In rough and tumble contest which
looked like cross between an Irish riot
and a wrestling match, the New Ulm
High School basketball quint won from
the Zoegling team by % to II count.
Only about one per cent of the fouls
perpetrated were called, yet they came
frequently enough to spoil and slow up the
game. Both teams were equally guilty
Of rough playing, the men piling up with
a zeal which showed superabundance
OF energy if not knowledge Of basket
ball. All attempts at team work were
smothered with enough enthusiasm to
carry the ball through the thorax of
the whole Middle West. The high
school team showed some rare flashes
of form in passing; the basket shooting
on both sides was only mediocre.
The game as a whole was hardly a
fair test of the ability of either team.

Forward Looking Finance.

To.day's opening OF the New York
Stock Exchange to trading in stocks
on the floor is a noteworthy event. 1t
means that out of the chaos and con
fusion into which the financial and
business world was thrown last August

dlspelled and tranquility has succeeded
to public excitement.
Indeed the immediate Importance of
Stock Exchange resumption consists
chiefly in its symptomatlc significance.
The stock market is but incompleteiy
restored. The list of shares specified
for trading is partial. and dealings, as in
the case Of the bond department. which
was opened a fortnight ago. are safe
guarded by protective restrictions. New
ertheess the resumption is advertise
ment of the fact that the machinery Of
finance and commerce has not only been
set up but is operating again. Our

formidable crisis. They have been ~.
