PRIVATE RECITAL BY
 MRS. RAYMOND OSBORN
Twenty five Invited Guests Heard At tractive Prosramme-WiIIiam Bauer Accompanist.
About twenty-five invited guests

About twenty-five invited guests en- joyed the delightful private recital
 given by Mrs. Raymond Osborn of
 New London in her studio in the Alice 1 building on Friday evening. Mrs. Os- borne has a clear soprano voice which
 shows much training and she gave a
 programme of great variety and at tractiveness. William Bauer, of the piano department of the Connecticut Women's college was her accomp- anist. Her first selection was the Air de Salome (Herodiade) by Massa- sent, which was s1illfully interpreted. A charming group of songs were the Arietta "Danza, Danza, fanciulla gen tile' by Ducante, Romance by Debus- sy, Standchen by Richard Strauss, and l Meine Lich ist Grun by Brahms. The | last two found especial favor with her audience. Her encore was the Cradle Son by Brahms. In the next group were the pretty old English song, Mary of Allendale, Dvorah's Tune Thy Strings, Oh Gypsy and by request his Songs My Mother Taught Me, When 1 Celia Sings by Frank Moir, by Clay ton Johns and To a Messenger, by Frank Laorge. Her encore was a fine rendering of Bach's The Years at the Spring. Urgent demands for more called forth a piano solo, Hark, Hark, the Lark, by Schubert-Liszt given with
 spirited expression by MT. Bauer and another song, Solvjeg Lied by Grieg by
 Mrs. Osborne. Refreshments were
 served after the programme and a so- cial hour followed.

SECRETARY HILL SPOKE
 AT SHOP MEETING.
Says Rum is Not the Only Great Demon
 -Impurity Its Twin Brother.

On account of the illness of Rev. George H. Strouse, General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Y. M. c. A. spoke at the noon shop meeting in Crescent Arms company Friday.
 MT. Hill spoke on The Home. He said it is one of the most beautiful words in our language, and ought to be the sweetest spot on earth. It is well we consider what makes the home. It certainly is not the furnishings, how be. But it is the human hearts that beat as one that make the home.
 Christ is the real home maker. The wife and mother contribute the most happiness to the average home. We men thoughtlessly neglect to contribute our share. Too many men in the home look out for No. 1. Thereby exhibiting the selfish spirit, and we should avoid selfishness as we do a rattlesnake. There are also other influences at work outside the home which contribute to it's downfall, and one of the many req sons why all true men should be op- posed to the saloon is because of it's havoc wrought in home life. l won der what the result would be if we could count the tears shed on account of the demon rum? wonder how many graves are occupied by those who have gone down by the same influence, or have died of broken hearts caused by it?
 But rum is not the only great evil. It has its twin brother, impurity. An authority has said that while rum has slain it's thousands, impurity has slain it's ten thousands. We need to heed the note of the gospel, Paul to Tim othy: Keep myself clean, be pure not only in action and words but in thought as well. You say that it is nigh impossible to do this. I answer yes. if we try to fight alone, but no matter how great the problem of temptation, maybe Jesus Christ is big ger than any problem, and we can win the victory by linking ourselves with his power.

JOHN JONES GETS
A NEW TRIAL

win great point for Justice.

John Jones, a Negro SEN

murder of Bale Herndon, a
sheep herder of M oHat county
whom he shot in September,
1913. was granted a new trial
in an opinion handed down
March 8 by the Supreme
court.
Jones and Herndon had
been drinking together and
playing cards on the day be
fore the murder. which took
place during a quarrel. Four
OF the judges, iE granting the
new trial declared that there
was not sufficient evidence
presented in the trial to show
that the murder was cold
blooded and premedi.ated
Two others, Justice White and
Chief Justice Garrigues, in a
dissenting opinion, declared
that the record offered "am :
pie evidence to support the
verdict"
! his decision BY the Su-
preme Court was victory
for fair play and a sustaining
