PROGRAM ADAPTED
TO VARIED TASTES

An excellent concert was given last
night at Government House for the
benefit of the Annapolis Public Lib
rary. before an enthusiastic audience
that filled the large drawing room and
oyerfiowed into the hall and adioin-
ing rooms
The program, arranged by Mrs. w.
0. Stevens, who was largely respon-
sible for the success OF the affair. was
long one. but light In nearly all the
numbers and so diversified that there
was no monotony or boredom during
the evening. Popular local artists
combined with imported talent to
make up an unusually agreeable
musical entertainment.
Songs by Soprano
First on the program was Miss
Elizabeth Mott, a dramatic soprano
with great emotional possibilities.
In place of "Duna." Miss Mott chose
for her first number the dashing
Don't Care" of Carpenter. which she
sang with much spirit and verve. Her
other two numbers. Leone's Birth of
Morn" and THE Years at the Spring
by Beach, were we'll sung, the first
with great tenderness and beauty.
Adolph Torovsky's qualities as a
pianist are too well-known to Anna
politans to need comment. His fault
less technique and clear. clean touch
were evident in his performance OF
the two Chopin numbers last night.
though the inadequacy OF his instru-
ment detracted from the rendering OF
the Chopin Ballade i'm A Hat In the
nocturne in + sharp Mr.. Torovsky
showed his musicianship in his
climaxes and beautiful shading and
pianissimos.
Miss Thomas Numbers
Miss Lucille Thomas who was ac-
companied I'm her numbers by Mr..
Toroysky. was the next singer. The
fresh, youthful quality of her power
full voice and her delightful personal
ity, as usual, scored a hit for the
young artist, who has very recently
started to sing in public.
Her second number. the popular
waters of Minnetonka," by Lieu
rance, to which violin obligato was
played by W. r. Sima. was particular
ly lovely. AS an encore she sang La
Forge's Song of the Open"
Two violin numbers were given by
Mr.. Sima, who was accompanied by
his wife on the piano. The pure
quality of Mr. Sima's tone, the infinite
delicacy of his shading, and the
beauty of his tender passages, were
best displayed in the "Traumerei,"

Calvin Coolidge is perhaps better
equipped by experience to take up his
administrative duties in the White
House than was any of his predeces-
sors who have been called to that high
office by the death of president.
Although vice presidents usually
have no other duties to perform than
that of presiding over the senate, cast
ing the deciding vote when that body
finds itself in tie. Mr.. Coolidge has
absented his self from it's sessions
every Tuesday and Friday to partici-
pate in the cabinet deliberations. Thus
he became familiar not only with all
angles of the major public questions,
but also with the reasons actuating the
president in his decisions.
Having won for himself in large
measure the vice presidential nomi-
nation by his executive forcefulness
as governor of Massachusetts, particu-
larly by his attitude in the police
strike, he has kept throughout the
Harding administration closely ad-
dressed as to the problems of the fed
eral government and has assisted in
shaping administration policy by his
constant attendance at cabinet meet
ings.

CHAPTER X.

Returning to his office, Mr. Troy
discovered, among the correspond
ence that was waiting for him, let
ter from the very person whose well
fare was still the uppermost subject
in his mind Isabel Miller wrote in
these terms:
Dear Sir-My aunt, Miss Pink, is
very desirious of consulting you pro-
fessionally at the earliest opportun-
ity. Although South Morden is with
in little more than half an hours
railway ride from London, Miss Pink
does not presume to ask you to visit
her, being we'll aware of the value
of your time. VIII you, therefore, be
so kind as to let me know when it
will be convenient to you to receive
my aunt at your office in London :?
Believe me, dear sir,
Respectfully yours,
ISABEL MILLER.
"P. ST. am further instructed to
say that the regrettable event at
Lady Lydiard's house is the proposed
subject of the consultation.
'The Lawn, South Morden, Thurs
day"
Mr.. Troy smiled as he read the
letter TOO formal for young girl"
he said to himself Every word of
it has been dictated by Miss Pink"
He was not long in deciding what
course he should take. There was
pressing necessity for cautioning
Isabel, and here was his opportunity.
He sent for his head clerk, and
looked at his list Of engagements for
the day. There was nothing set down

Yakima.

vdkIfnds
Does the word Yakima mean lake
water, black bear, or runaway?
All these interpretations of the
name of the county, city and river in
central Washington are mentioned by
Edmond S. Meany, professor of his
tory at the University of Washing
ton, in his discussion of the geogra-
phic names of the state recently pub
lished in the Washington Historical
Quarterly.
Yakima, Professor Meany points
out, is one of the most extensively
used geographic terms in the state
OF Washington, being applied to a
county, city, river, valley, pass in
the Cascade mountains, Indian tribe
and Indian reservation.
The name, according to Professor
Meany, was first applied to the river
and the natives who occupied the
land drained by the river. Lewis and
Clark, 1S05-06, give the name as Tap
teal, which they spell in several ways.
Elliott Coues, the editor Of their
journals, gives number of syno-
nyms, such as "Eyakama."
John H. Lynch, of Yakima Pro-
lessor Meany says, quotes the pio-
neer Jack Splawn as authority for
lake water as the meaning of Yaki-
ma. Henry Cannot says the word
means black bear The Bureau of
American Ethnology says the word
means runaway and that the native
name for the tribe was 'Waptailmin'
meaning people Of the narrow river
David Thompson, Of the North West
Company of Montreal referred to the
Indians on July s, 1911, as 'Skaemena.'
Alexander Ross was with the Aston.
ians, 1911, though his book Adven-
lures of the First Settlers on the Ore
gon or Columbia River was not pub
lished until 1S49, in which he uses
the name 'Eyakema' The Wilkes Elk.

Hubert Howe Bancroft describes
an interesting epoch as follows: Yak
ina city was incorporated December /,
1883. Twelve months later, when 1t
had 400 Inhabitants, the surveyors of
the Northern Pacific railroad laid out
the town Of North Yakima, four
miles distant from the old town, upon
a broad and liberal scale, and pro-
posed to the people of the latter that
if they would consent to be removed
to the new town they should be given
as many lots there as they possessed
in the old, and have besides their
buildings moved upon them without
cost to the owners. Such an agree
ment in writing was signed by a ma
jority Of the citizens, and in the win
ter and spring of 1SS4-1SS5 over 100
buildings were moved on trucks and
rollers, hotels, bank, and other bust
ness houses doing their usual bust
ness en- route. This was a good stroke
Of policy on the part of the railroad,
general land commissioners, and the
company, as it definitely settled OPP
position, both to the new town and
the corporation, which also received

80 days time
"By act of the state legislature ap-
proved January 30, 1911, and to go
into effect on January 1, 1918, the city
was permitted to drop the word
North from it's name. The same leg
islature also changed the name of
the older town OF Yakima to Union

The death, on August 2, at San Fran
cisco of Warren G. Harding 29th pres
ident of the United States, cast a
shadow of sorrow over the entire civ
ilized world. Nations of both heini-
spheres have felt the far-reaching eff
feet Of his constructive administrative
policies and thousands had come to
know and appreciate the sterling quail
tiles Of Harding, the man.
In the short time that the President
served as chief executive of the nation
he guided the ship of state through the

naughty condescension.

, Fancy his expecting me to trust him
with 10 pounds! consider even the

Moody, 81 don't quite agree with you

Thinking of what? Do your suspi-

IF you will please to excuse me,
Mr.. Troy. l should like to wait a
while before l answer that"
Mr.. Troy suddenly stood still, and
eyed his companion a little distrust
fully.
Are you going to turn detective
policeman on your own ACCOUNT" he
asked
There's nothing won't turn to,
and try, to help Miss Isabel In this
matter" Moody answered, firmly.
II have saved few hundred
pounds in Lady Lydiard's service, and
| am ready to spend every farthing
of it if can only discover the
thief"
Mr.. Troy walked on again. Miss
Isabel seems to have good friend in

consciously little offended by the
independent tone in which the stew
ard spoke, after he had himself en-
gagged to take the vindication of the
girls innocence into his own hands.
Miss Isabel has devoted servant
and slave in me-" Moody answered,
with passionate enthusiasm
Very creditable; I haven't word
to say against It," Mr.. Troy re-
joined. But don't forget that the
young lady has other devoted friends,
besides you. I am her devoted friend,
for instance; | have promised to
serve her, and mean to keep my
word. You will excuse me for adding
that my experience and discretion
are quite as likely to be useful to her

Moody accepted his reproof with

Isabel" he said, II shall be happy If

"And if not?" Mr.. Troy inquired,
conscious of having nothing to pro-
pose as he asked the question
"In that case, sir, must take my
own course, and blame nobody but
myself If 1t leads me astray"
Mr.. Troy said no more; he parted
from Moody at the next turning.
Pursuing the subject privately In
his own mind, he decided on taking
the earliest opportunity of visiting
Isabel at her aunt's house, and on
warning her, in her future inter-
course with Moody, not to trust too
much to the stewards discretion. 81

The outstanding events of the Hard

Warren Gamaliel Harding was born
in Blooming Grove, Ohio, November
2, 1865, the oldest of large family
of children. At the age of 18 he took
a job on a small democratic newspa-
per in Marion, and began his career
as journalist. On November 26, 1884,
he and chum bought out the Marion
Star, of which Mr. Harding was pub
Usher until within few weeks of
his death.
The story of Harding's early efforts
to build up the struggling little daily
into powerful political organ is one
Of alternating disappointments and
triumphs for some IA years before the
paper became firmly established and
financially independent Under his
control the little paper became force
to be reckoned with and other pub
fishers and his political adversaries
did everything In their power to put
the Star out of business.
Starts on Political Career
The story is told of how, on one &C.
casion when Harding was attending a
political meeting in Chicago, the
sheriff took possession of the Star
property in the name of creditors.
Friends came to the assistance of the
young publisher and with a little
money that Harding had saved selling
insurance, they were able to salvage
the paper
In 1898 the Star was free from all
indebtedness and growing steadily.
Harding's work had attracted the at
tention Of Ohio republicans and in
1898 he was elected to the state SEN
