the reception rendered him was un- equivocally enthusiastic MT. Rogers has attained his greatest successes as a concert singer, and his recital pro- grams both in catholicity and breadth Of their scope are remarkable. He has appeared as a Soloist in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and with the St. Paul Symphony and Bos- ton Festival OrchestraS. MT. Rogers for number of years, appeared ar- nually at the White House, once for the late President Mckinley and three times for ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. He is the composer of d number of musical and artistic sub jects and his diction especially in English is exemplary in it's perfcC- ton.
 World Famous Singer,
 Henry T. Finck in his Success in Music,' speaks of Madame Rider Kelsey as, "among the worlds most famous singers" The soprano part of successful concerts in many instances depends on the ability of the work of the soloist, and in selecting Madame It1der-Kelsey for tn1s important part, the officers of the union have secured an artist that should fill this end of the program to perfection. Madame Elderkelsey made her debut Novem- Der "A, 1904, and from that moment She was an artistic power to be reck- oned with and her rise in American musical history is considered phenom- enal. She has also secured an envi- able reputation in Europe and has also made a reputation in Cincinnati where, with the holding of a concert, Madame Rider-Kelsey's name has always been found on the program. Other cities have rang with praise of her work, especially with the New York Symphony, Philharmonic and Theodore Thomas Orchestras. She has l attained the reputation of being the only American trained singer who has ever been honored with the principal role in a Covent Garden production. The art of pure singing in it's highest 1 sense is probably not better compre- ] nended by any singer in the world to- 1 day than by Madame Rider K elsey | Her full, rich voice, her temperament 1 her special training and her intellec- | tual viewpoint, as well as her delight l ful personality, form an ideal combi-
 nation that has made her so phenom-
 enally successful.

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon.
scious and She Died From
Fright.

During thunderstorm at Newton
N. j., a woman who through all her
life of fifty years had felt nervous
dread Of lightning" became uncon-
SciouS from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obSessed by
the same dread take counsel of the
fate of this unfortunate and allay
their fears? asks the New York World.
They suffer an excess of terror in
every thunderstorm, and in effect I'M
dergo the agony of death many times.
Yet there are few other forms of
death so painless or remote. In
1872 in the whole country only 243 per-
sons were killed by lightning, of whom
but AZ were females. Women, who
mainly feel this fear, should be en-
outraged by their greater immunity.
But, In fact, twice as many people
are burned to death in CONGREGATIONS
in year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number Of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning Is as 1914
to /.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap-
able exit from this world with phllos-
ophy should be ready to accept light.
ming stroke as an end as easy as any
other. 1t Is too instantaneous to admit
of physical sensation, while the fear
ridden are assured that if the flash is
seen the sufferer is safe.

Ribbon "WhIte EIenhant u

Three yards of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby great problem as
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something of
a white elephant, the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount of the credit TO the conscience
fund cannot be estimated. The rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari-
colOred and of exquisite heavy quail
Ity.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was postmarked Paterson, MI. There
was no message inclOsed, the package
being addressed simply to "The Con-
science Fund, Washington, D. c." 1t
is presumed that the ribbon itself was
smuggled in and is now surrendered.

RESEARCH WORK IN AMERICA
Future Will Witness Wider Applca.
ton of Principle Which Has Al.
ready Done So Much.

Prophecy Is double edged tool with
a peculiar facility for injuring the user,
but the activity of the present leads
one to predict that each succeeding
year will bring us nearer to the state
in which the research work Of the
country will be national in both scope
and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research of immense value to agrlcul-
ture, the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness a more general
application Of this principle-an active
national interest In industrial research,
and this will serve as q healthy SUBJ
sidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni-
ton Of this fact has 0ccasioned q re-
cent awakening to an increased sense
of appreciation Of the need Of greater
facilities for insurlng the scientific de-
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and Of promoting indus.

UNITED STATES signs THE

OOo' and Considered immensely
Valuable to United States.

MISUNDERSTANDING by the Unit.

as st. Croix and st. John. lying east
OF Porto Rico, and comprising an ar.
chlpeiago known as the Danish West
Indies, was provided for in a treaty
signed Friday by the United States
and Denmark.
Inc signing Of the treaty took place
IN New York, where Secretary Ian.
sing and Constantin Brun, the Danish
minister, both away from the capital
on vacations, met 20 affix their sigma
lures to the document.
Senator Lodge emphasized in
statement Saturday the possibility
that the islands If not acquired by the
United States might fall into the
hands of some European power and
involve this government in difficulties
under the Monroe doctrine (which
might easily lead to war;" a consid-
Grafton which 1t is understood has
been prominently before the eyes of
officials at Washington in their nego-
tiations for the purchase.
In the interest of peace" said Sen
ator Lodge, 1t is of great Importance
that these islands should pass into
the hands of the United States.
From a military point of view their
value can hardly be oyerestimated.
The fine harbor of st. Thomas fulfills
all the required naval and military
conditions.
AS has been pointed out by the late
Admiral Mahan, it is one of the great
est strategic points in the West In
dies.
THE population is only $4,000, of
whom nearly 10000 are negroes.
There is no possibility OF any material
increase in population and annexation
would never involve at any time the
troublesome question of statehood.
"The Danish islands, which could be
readily defended from attack, occupy
a commanding strategic position and
are of incalculable value to the Unit
ed States"

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Childrenareprobably brighterto-day than a generation aso-but are they stronger3 That's a grave question. So many pinched faces, dulled eyes and languid feelings make us wonder if they will ever grow into robust, healthy men and women.
 If your children catch colds easily, are tired when rising, lack healthy color, or find studies difficult, give them Scott's Emulsion for one month to enrich their blood and restore the body-forceS to healthy action.
 Scott'S Emulsion is used in private schools. It is not patent medicine, simply highly concentrated oil-food, without alcohol or harmful drugs. It cannot harm; it improves blood; 1t bene- fits lungs and strengthens the system. Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.
