ORGAN RECITAL IS
RARE MUSIC TREAT
CLARENCE EDDY DELIGHTS NEW
ULM AUDIENCE WITH A FINE
PROGRAM
SMALL, BUT ENTHUSIASTIC
NUMBER HEAR FAMOUS MAN
AT COLLEGE

The organ recital by Clarence Eddy
at the DR.. Martin Luther College Mon
day evening, was not only the musical
event of the season, but for all the seasons
that New Ulm has ever experienced.
That was the verdict of those lovers
of fine music who attended. a.
Mr.. Eddy, who is the most renowned
performer upon the organ In the United
States, very rarely visits a town so
small as New Ulm, and consented to
come here solely through the influence
of Prof. Fritz Reuter-, musical director
of the college, the two men having been
warm personal friends for many years..
Audience Too Small.
While the college chapel was fairly
we'll filled, many Of the musical people
present felt that it should have been
crowded to overfowing.
"The distance may have had something
to do with the attendance" said one
enthusiastic listener to Mr.. Eddy's
recital, but if it had been a basketball
game or something like that they could
have found their way up the hill all
right enough"
Professor Eddy has spent a lifetime
in the study and execution of music,
most of which has been upon his favorite
instrument, the pipe organ. In intro
ducing him, Professor Ackermann re-
marked that he did not know whether
he was neutral or not, but that he had
certainly prepared a neutral program,
which contained composers by repre-
sentatives of nearly all the belligerant
nations. 1t led off with number by
J. B. S. Bach, the great German master;
then there was one by Francis Couperin
II, the famous French composer, be-
sides several by Englishmen, and one
by French captain, who is now serving
in the French army. ..#

greatest enthusiasm, and at it's conclu-
sion, as the two men, the composer and
performer shook hands, the applause
fairly shook the building.
! Another number was "Wie Lieblich
Sind die Boten," sung by the mixed
choir CT Or. M. L. College and led by
| Professor Reuter-, with Professor Eddy
accompanying on the organ, brought
CT deafening applause.
At the conclusion Of the program the
applause was. so intense and enthusi-
astic that Professor Eddy supplemented
two more numbers, and it was with
reluctance that the audience left the
hall.
1t is doubtful if New Ulm is soon again
to secure so rare musical treat as that
afforded Monday evening, but if she
should by any chance be so favored it
is certainly to be hoped the musical
people of the city will show more appre-
citation than on this occasion.

B0BLETER CAMP Is
N0WRE ORGANIZED
SPANISH WAR VETERANS MEET
TO REVIVE ACTIVITIES OF
II =. ORGANIZATION
OFFICERS ELECTED AND Will
BE INSTALLED AT LATER
GATHERING.

Az meeClng OF SpanlSh-Amerlcal
War Veterans last Sunday afternoon
Bobleter Camp was re-organized anc
officers elected. At meeting to b.
held at later date, possibly Sunday
February rs, another meeting will bt
held, which will be at the Armory, wher
the officers will be installed, and addresses
by prominent Spanish-American men
and a general good time, when remeni-
cences of the days of '9S will be recounted.
Installation at Later Date.
1t is expected that Deputy Adjutant
Hugo V. Koch, Department of Mime
sofa, United Spanish War Veterans,
of St. Paul will be here to install the
officers after which he will deliver an
address to the former soldiers.
Bobleter Camp was organized several
years ago, and for a long time was par
ticularly active, but for the past three
years it has been sleeping" altho it
has continued to retain it's charter, so
that all necessary now was for the mem
bers to elect officers and take a fresh
start. 81 III ....... - ....
The prime object in recognizing at
this time is to prepare to relieve the
members of the Grand Army of the Re
public, in part Of that organization OF
its duties and labors in preparing the
Memorial Day exercises and like func-
tions. The G.. A. R. men are now grow
ing old, and they feel that it will be but
a. few years when their ranks will have
been SO thinned out that it will be neces-
sary for some organization to take up
the work, and they feel that there are
no hands more fitting than those OF
the Spanish War Veterans to perform
the work to be laid down by them.
Officers Elected.
The following officers were elected
at the meeting Sunday:
Post Commander Albert Steinhause1
Senior Vice Commander. Henry Gasinl
Junior Vice Commander Jos. Glassel

Cobper Would Cut Output

Phoenix. Ariz-. Dec 6.-The session
OF the Arizona Chapter Of the Amer
lean Mining congress concluded with
the adoption Of strong resolutions
against the proposed reduction Of the

ger companies. which would be COM
PEELED TO WoFk only the richest OF

It is urged that the only effect -
the rule proposed would be 10 cut

UNION MENACE
Postmaster Would Have
Congress Repeal Law Civ

Washington, D. c, Dec. 6.-Post-
master general Burleson came out
fatty in opposition to organizations
of postal employees, IN his annual re-
port submitted to congress today.
The postmaster general declared such
organizations a menace to the public
service and recommended the repeal

Emphasizing the need for unseIfish
cooperation on all sides while the

master general continues:
Notwithstanding this fact, and at
this critical period in our nations

the organized postal employees are
making many selfish demands and il
sisting that they shall not be required
or permitted 20 work in excess Of the

salaries be permanently increased, al
though they are justly compensated.

Ar. BurlesOn reiterated his belief
that the government should control

The postmaster general again
strongly urges a change in the system
OF erecting public buildings. He stated
his belief that the government is not
justified in erecting a building for a
postofrice alone unless the rental
amounts to $1,000 and then only when
the gross postal receipts are $4,000
or the population as much as $4,000
Mr. BUrleson's report also makes
this recommendation for further ex-
tending the civil service
TO further eliminate partisan poll
tics from the postal service. to recog-
Dize merit and efficiency. and in the
interest Of the public service. Il is
again recommended that the neces-
sary legislation be enacted to include
in the classified civil service the po-
sitiOn Of postmaster at presidential
offices; It is also recommended that
the positions OF assistant postmaster
general and that Of purchasing agent
OF the postoffice department be in
'luded in the classified civil service"

him to hasten after the messenger, to
learn the identity of the author of the
direful threat, but, although he thread
ed the streets surrounding the hotel
where he was temporarily guest, he
found no trace of the slatternly girl
who had seemingly brought him his

No, he would suffer alonc-and now!

Into a wretched thOroughfare, Gray
halted and stared at Keeling, reck-
less being, the center of Il torinentng
derisive mob. In flash he recognized
the girl who had acted as the messen-
ger for his prosecutors. She had APP
parently consumed additional liquor
after delivering her message. Her
condition made her a buffet and play
thing for the idle group about her.
Twice they pushed her into the gutter.
They encouraged her strident oratory.
they tore her garments, jostled her,
and some one had sent for policeman
and Gray noticed him approaching
from distance.
A sorrow-eyed woman stood in her
doorway regarding the scene with sad
and tear-stained face. Gray swept
aside the crowd. He seized the girl
by the arm and led her to the door
way where the woman stood.
.Save this poor creature from that
crowd and the police" he said rap
idly. "Give her shelter till she is in
her right mind again, and | will pay
