Chancellor Plans
 Taking Needed Rest

Judge John M Elliott of the chan cery court announced yesterday that he proposes to accept the suggestion that during August he rest from the continuous grind he has been sub jected to for years. Judge Elliott said he does not intend to go away, because, like other salaried men, he "can't afford it.' but he will not try any contested cases during Au@ust.
 Chancery court in Jefefrson is kept going continuously, and for the past three years, Judge Elliott has not had vacation. The increase in population and activities steadily adds to the work of the chancery court, as to other tribunals.
 Some idea of the activities of the chancellor may be gathered from the records showing that about 800 suits have been filed in the Jefferson chan cery court since January 1. There are five other counties in the district.

 Harry Gilbert, the pianist-compo- ser, of New York. Mrs. Voris ar ranged the affair as a musical, with MT. Gilbert opening the program 1T group of piano selections, one o1 them, his own composition, a brilliant Valse de Concert, which called fortF Asalvos of applause. Seldom is foun6 in satisfactory combination of plan. ist, organist and composer, perfection in one usually spelling mediocrity ir Ithe other; but MT. Gilbert's complete mastery of the piano was demonstra ted with his first number. D'Albert's 'Gavotte and Musette,' thing of sparkling rhythm, beautifully play ed.
 "Mr. Gilbert's ability as an accom- panist was demonstrated when Mrs. Oriana Abbot Jennison sang to his playing three of his own compost tions- When Thou Art Near oh Were My Love Lilac Fair an ex- quisite setting of Robert Burns poem, and Spring Rapture.'
 "As composer, MT. Gilbert has that sympathetic insight which en- ables him to paint emotions with colors of lovely harmony. His music is charmingly poetic and frames the sentiment of the words perfectly. He plays entirely without affection and gives the impression of being most sincere artist. His closing numbers captivated the audience, an interpre- tation of Liszt's Rhapsodie No. il being one of the best ever heard here. It was played with a subdued richness of tone that fell on the ear as soft and deep as velvet
