oratorios, under the personal tuition
and conductorship of the late Sir
Charles Halle, relates London An
swers. Among the orchestra was the
famous and gigantic bassoon player,
George Seel of Ashton-under-Lyne At
the final rehearsal Halle went to
George and, indicating several bars for
the bassoon. told him not to play them
on the night of the performance.
George was inwardly boiling with In
dignation. but said nothing. On the
night of the performance George
played the banned music.
When the affair was over Halle went
up to Seel In a great rage and, point

Of chesa For years the great naviga-
tor had haunted the Spanish court, try
ing to interest some one in his plans,
but at last he determined to abandon
the country and visit France. The
night before his intended departure he
sought an audience with the queen to
communicate his intentions and to take
his leave. The queen asked him to
wait while she made another effort to
interest the king. She found Ferdi-
nand engaged at game Of chess and,
disturbing him by her entrance, caused
him to lose piece. Annoyed and irri-
tated by the incident, the king, after
rudely denouncing Columbus and his
schemes. informed Isabella that the
result Of the petition would depend on
the result of the game. It grew worse,
and the chances were all against the
launching Of the expedition. But the
queen, overlooking the board, whisper
ed to her august spouse suggestion
relative to a move that would be ad-
vantageous. The king followed the
advice, the complexion Of the game
was quickly reversed, and Columbus

Mr.. H. F. Byrd, Democratic
nominee for the State Senate has
the right idea on the road ques-
ton and his plan of revising the
State aid road law is one of the
m Jst practical and sensible that
l ever read.
Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, Presi-
dent Of the Southern Railway in
his address at Fishers Hill stat.
ed that Virginia had less miles
of improved roads than nearly
any State in the Union and that
only s per cent. of all of our
roads were improved.
This condition should certain
ly be remedied and until the pres
ent State aid road law is revised,
there can be no general improve
nent of roads with aid from the
State.
It is certainly not good policy
to spend $4,000 or $4,000 on
mile of road and rob all other
roads of any Improvement and
for part of this expenditure to
go towards paying experts sent
from Richmond at $500 a day.
also approve of Mr.. Byrd's
policy towards the schools and
of bringing the school system
closer to the people, in the cleo
tion of school superintendent
by popular vote and he is also
against the constant changing of
school books which puts such a
great burden on the parents of
school children.
AS Democrat, Mr.. Byrd can
accomplish much more beneficial
legislation for his constituents
than his Republican opponent,
due to the overwhe Ginning ma ior-
1ty in the State Senate.
