KELLEY'S WORK KNOWN ABROAD
"New England" Is Perhaps Only
American symphony Recognized


| BY United Press.
OXFORD, Ohio, April 25.-The only
American symphony recognized
abroad and the only American college
maintaining a fellowship in compost
tion belong together. The symphony
is the New England composed by
Edgar Stillman Kelley, and the schoo,
is the Western College for Women
here.
Since 1910 Kelley has held the fell
lowship. This carries with it living
which enables him to devote as much
time as he likes to composing. This
does not mean that Kelley is dependent
upon the fellowship for his livelihood,
as has been enormously reported.
Among the organizations which have
performed the New England Sympho-
ny" are the Boston, Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Minneapolis symphony or
chestra. The composer was born in
Sparta, Wis, in 1857.
AS a boy Kelley studied in Chicago
under Clarence Eddy. In 1880 he took
a position as organist in San Francis
co.
From 1893 to 1895 he was music
critic of the San Frascisco Examiner.
In 1891 he married Miss Jessie Gregg,
a pianist of San Francisco. From 1901
to 1902 he was acting professor of
musical theory at Yale. He is now
lecturer at the Cincinnati Conserva-
tory of Music.

WAR CAUSES ENGLISH
TO SELL BIG MANORS
Famous Old Castles and I'm
mense Preserves Are On
the Market.
LAND Is IDLE NOW
The Conflict With Germany
Leaves AriStoCratic Own
erS Without Money.
BY WILBUR S. FORREST

Omitted Press staff COrrespondenD
LONDON, April 25.-The aristro-
cratic owners of England's famous
country estates, comprising thousands
of idle acres, today are selling their
holdings because the war has pinched
them financially. This is believed to
mean that the idle land will be broken
into small holdings and that Englnad
will become an important agricultural
nation.
These grand country manOrs, castles
and mansions on immense reserves or
idle land have been famous for CEN
turies as deer parks, shooting pre-
serves. lands of the fox hunt, golf and
fishing. Today they are a drug on the
market.
The current issue of a well known
British real estate magazine today
carries nineteen solid pages of closely
printed advertisements asking pur-
chasers or tenants for more than 50,-
0OO acres of sporting estates and in
Vulnerable country seats throughout
England, Scotland and Wales.
Must BE Split Up for Farms.
Real estate experts with an eye on
the future declare the large estates
will in most cases fail of sale or lease;
that they must be split into smaller
tracts and sold for agricultural pur-
poses. The fox hunt and the grouse
moor will never again be so popular
as they were before the war, say the
experts.
Here is a sample ad of the proper
ties now on the market:
Historic manor house in the West
ern Highlands. Thirty bed and dress
ing rooms, several reception rooms.
Delightful matured old grounds. Ten
thousand acres of shooting. For sale
or moderate rental"
The ad continues to explain that one
seasons shooting on the game pre-
serves has been 1000 pheasants, 800
partridges, $50 hares, 300 rabbits and
many woodcock, duck and snipe.
Any person in America who has
garnered wealth making munitions.
or otherwise, could Tease real castle
on a longtime contract at moderate
terms.
Estates Furnish Good Hunting.
This castle, its ad declares, is
charmngly located on pretty loch
and is surrounded by vast sporting
estate of 1900 acres, 1l,000 of which
consists of one of the best grouse
moors in Scotland. The best single
bag of grouse thus far has been 100
brace. There also is excellent sal
mon fishing and golf links.
The ad makes no mention of agricul-
ture.
With hundreds of thousands of men
released from the army after demo-
bilization, Great Britain must find
places for all.
L
will not return to desks in stuffy Of
fees and indoor civilian occupations
of the past. They will insist on con-
tinued open air, according to those
who are now making study of the
situation.
What were grouse mOors and hunt
ia
most probably will be the agricultural
homes in the postwar era of thous-
ands of the men who have carried the
guns.
That England, Scotland and Wales
will be much nearer the soil long be-
for the next five years is over Is az

Early Monday evening, Sept. 4th, while
sitting about the yard and porch Of their
home near Blue Mountain station on the
H. & F. trolley road. members of the
family of Mr. Wesley Rogers discovered
flames issuing from the roof of their
dwelling. About the same time Mr. Nc.
CleIlan Davis, who with others were at
the station, saw the light and thinking
it was his buildings on fire, rushed to the
scene.
The fire, however, had progressed SC
rapidly that only few pieces of furni'
ture could be gotten out of the building,
and practically everything in the house
was burned, leaving Mrs. Rogers anc
her daughter, Mrs. Domer, and infan,
child with nothing but the clothes they
were wearing.
Mr.. Rogers is in the employ of the W.
M. Railway, with headquarters at Hag-
erstown, and was not aware of the fire
until a message was sent him.
The origin of the fire is mystery. 1t
was stated that there had been no fire in
the house during the summer, the cook
ing being done in a summer kitchen. The
house was log and frame structure and
was insured.
