Gottschalk, Mason and Sher wood are namas familiar to all who have interested themselves in masis and especially in the study of the piano. Gottschalk came first to this trio of Amer ican pianists and was perhaps the greatest of the three. Gotts chalk was received with acclaim everywhere the world over, and truly did he deserve it. Hi was a great performer. As a com poser for the piano he took high rank- There was much poetry about his compositions and in most instances a vein of melan choly, of sadness a plaintive ness so unutterable that , one seemed to breath it. Bat poor Gottschalk came to an end in South America while en tour and before his time. His death was a loss to the musical world. To. Dr. William Mason fell the mantel of Gottschalk and nobly did he wear it for long years crowded full of industry in art. He gave to piano literature more than any other native-born pianist in the way of instructive works. He was a pupil of Liszt, the wizard of the piano. This brings us to Sherwood, the last of the trio of gifted pianists to whom all who delight in the pro duction of the home land can point with pride. Sherwood played in this city Thursday evening, March 21st, in the Armory, under the aus pices of the OAC School of Mu pic. This department at the col lege certainly had courage to undertake to play such a man, and Prof. Taillander, the direc tor, is to be congratulated. So are all who assisted him. For a place the size of Corvallis, also considering the weather, there was a splendid audience. The attention given the performer could scarcely have been better and the applause which greeted, while quite generous, would have been warmer had the build ing been more heated. Before certain of his numbers Mr. Sherwood gave a short des criptive talk of an analytical na ture. This was interesting and of especial value to the student. The program commenced with the "Appassionate" sonata" by Beethoven. There is no greater sonata for the instrument and it was superbly rendered- This was followed by compositions of lasser seriousness, but of un usual interest from every stand point. Every mood, every emo tion was touched there was the gay and the sad, the sublime and the serious the intellectual the ridiculous and grotesque the clownish. All magnificient. In interpretation Mr. Sherwood seems to lack nothing, he is a master. In technic he is finish ed, brilliant the virtuoso. His scale runs, bis passage work, his octavo playing, his trill are all as nearly perfection as it seems pos sible for the mind to conceive. He is the product of American soil and a credit to his native land let all do him honor. Aside from a very liberal re cital program, the same as he had previously played in Port land, he gave two very interest ing encore numbers. One was ''A Norwegian Bridal Party Passing By," by Grieg. It was a beautiful little conception in joyful mood and a little in the style of a patrol. ' The second encore was "The Tremolo," by Gottschalk. Here was a bit of something far above the ordinary. Half hidden was a theme of un usual beauty. A g eater, exhib ition of style in tremolo playing on the piano we have never seen Mr. Sherwood went back to Portland, Friday, where he was billed to play a return date that evening. In all probability it will be a long time before Cor vallis is a?ain favored by a pian ist of the magnitude of Sher wood. Another Strange Case. A case similar to that of Wal ter Miller, the 14 year old Cor vallis boy who experienced such an extraordinary growth and who died some lime ago in Portland after puzzling the medical fra ternity for over a year, is relateo in Saturday's Oregonian as fol lows. Roy Fifieid, 5 years old, and one of the most remarkable hu man monstrosities on record. wa taken before the County Court, yesterday, and adjudged insane, after a close medical examina tion. To the layman the case is infiaitely pathetic and to the medical man it is one of unusual interest. At the age when the normal child is leaving short dresses Roy has grown to the physical pro portions of a lad of 18, while his mind has tailed utterly in its growth. With a head that re quires a hat too large for the av erage man, the child has nothing but confusion and idiocy in the interior and is devoid of intelli gence. Not withstanding the ab sence of mentality he ha . shown a tendency tc forms of degenera cy. Dr. Josephi, who conducted the mental examination, pro nounced the case one of the most remarkable that has ever been brought to his attention. The hapless freak was taken in custo dy by the authorities at the in stance of his father. Fallowing the examination the boy was sent to the State Insane Asylum." Death of B. F. Hyland. The funeral of Benjamin F. Hyland was held at tae resi dence at 2 o'clock Friday afte-- noon, the s rvices being con ducted by Rev. S. M. Woods. Mr. Hyland died Thursday eve ning, tie has teen in poor health for a long time but his last illness was of brief duration. The ailment was heart failure. Interment was in I. O. O. F. cemetery where brief services at the grave were conducted by Rev. Woods. Benjamin Hyland was about 78 years of ago and first came to Corvallis in 1802, crossing the plains in pioneer fashion. He later returned to Vermont but came back to Corvallis in 1874 where he accumulated consider able property and continued to reside until his death. His son, Eugene HylanJ, ar rived from Tacoma Friday noon. Other relatives present at the funeral were Mrs. Mary Dinges, a sistei of Corvallis, who bud cared ior Mr. Hyland the past few years of his life; Burham Hyland, a brother, from Eugene ; Mr. and Elmer Dinges jf Shedds and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dinges ot Monroe. M-. Hyland hid been twice married. The first wife and three daughters reside somewhere in the East aud they must be located before a - division ot the property cm be made. The second Mrs. Hyland died in this city five or six years ago. The old soldiers' and sailors' mono m ai a330Jii iun held a called meeting. Stturday erenin', and elected the fal lowing officers: 3. I. Klint, president; 3 H. Hjrton, vice president; M. L Hubler, secretary. The G. A. K's are planning to giva a bii( entertain tnent and BU er next Sat urday evening, from 5 to It) o'clock, at G i.

W. P. Lafferty. W. P. Lafferty, one of Corval lis' best known and most ener getic citizens, departed Satui day tor Chicago. He has been elect ed by the stockholders of the T. J. Thorp manufacturing com pany to visit Chicago and wit ness the test of the Agricultural Automobile, which is now finish ed and ready for the test on street and field with a view to locating a plant to manufacture the entire group of self-propelled machines, invented by General Thorp. This group includes a farm loco motive, commercial truck, har vester, mcwer and rake combined, harrow and culivator combined, road wagon, tourist car, traction wheels, steel spoke machine and wagon tongue machine. Few people who have heard of these inventions realize the im portance ot this great enterprise which, should it prove success ful, will revolutionize the farm ing industry of the country, as well as the transportation. The machine now finished must plow, harrow and seed 20 acres of land in ordinary condi tion in 10 hours, and all this un der the opeiation of one man. The locomotive may be backed into the angle of the field and mace to plow every square vard of ground, no matter what shape the field may have. The locomotive can be turned at anv angle by the engine. It will do good work on side hills and up steep grades by reason of its four massive drive wheels where horse gangs will fail. The agricultural implements can be detached in thirty min utes, when the machine can be used as a commercial truck haul ing heavy loads with good speed, and it can be turned on the ground it stands on. Eich machine in the group is a new and distinct invention of General Thotp, who has spent 15 years of deep study to bring them to perfection. He has proved himself a man of genius and indomitable will power, knowing no such words as tail. Some of the best experts in the Uaited States who have watched his inventions and their develop ment for the past two years have made reports and say there is no question of the success of the entire group. The Thorp Mant'g Co. wis organized about two years ago and is composed of live, enter- prising business men, who have stood by General Thorp loyallv, spending their money without faltering, and it is a cause for re joicing that the day of prosper ity for them seem: near at hand. W. P. Iifferty has been un tiring in his efforts in assisting in the enterprise, and his selec tion as the man to go to Chicago to witness the final test shows that the company appreciates hi work. Christmas Goods Arriving. - Christmas goods which should have been sold during the holi days four months ago, have not yet arrived in Portland. They were ordered more than a year ago. Unless something unforscen occurs, local merchants have hopes of receiving the merchan dise in time for the holidav trade of 1807. Some few shipments have been straggling into the freight yards during the past week, but these are oniy a trifling p:rt if the amount bought and paid tor. Despite the inconvience and the loss of time, money and tem pr. the business houses which have suffered through having their Chiistmas freight held up can take no action against the railroads and there is no way for them to be reimbursed. All the merchants can do is to smile and look pleasant. They are d -:ti su although it requires an effort. Goods for the Christmas trade are manufactured almost exclus ively in Europe. This applies to toys and all manner of holiday material, including fancy cloths. Of all the imported holiday goods, fully 75 per cent comes into the United States through New Orleans, with Baltimore aDd Newport News also well represented. Holiday goods are ordered in January aud February, and when they pass the custom house at New Orleans it used to be that the Portland merchants could depend on their arrival here in 25 days. Telegram. THE KING OF TRAMPS. To Be Given at the Opera House Tonight. "The King of Tramps" which will be seen at the opera house tonight, contains nothing what ever ihat can offend the most xacting critic. Every line, situation,' musical number, song and dance is given with a view to attraction; people who uphold all that is refined in legitimate com edy. The play is fairly alive with snappy action, amusing twists and tarjgles, worth three hours of auy amusement seeker's time. It is especially recom mended for children from six to sixty. Popular prices, seats now sell- Mr. Callahan's Side of It. In our last issue we published what may be termed a sidewalk episode under the caption, "Cal lahan's Sidewalk." Mr. Calla han assures us that some of the points of the article were incor rectly stated. In the first place, on being stopped from pitting down a board walk within the limits of the "concrete walk or dinance" he says he consulted members of the council and saw two of the three who compose the street committee. These gentlemen are said to have given their consent tor him to put in the new board sidewalk temporarily, as the old board walk was in a condition of di'ap ida.ion. That it was understood that so soon as the weather set tled sufficiently the walk recent ly laid was to be swung around along- the west side ot his lots, v.v!tere at present (here is no walk, and lie would then put in a concrete wlt 01 the north Mr. Callahan further states that the ho-trd walk was laid be tween the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning a. id thit there was nothing in the dark about the process or piogress of the work. He says be has always kept what property he has pos sessed in good repair, which is true, and has always endeavored in the past to prove himself a law-respecting citizen ilso true. Having no desire rocastany re flections upon Mr. Callahan, nor to side with either party in the controversy, the Gazette will continue in the future as in the past to publish what it considers from an unprejudiced standpoint to be legitimate news, and shall endeavor to give its readers as correct a version of the o-.tcome of this matter as it is able to ob tain. The latter part of April there U to be a meeting in Corvillis of the East Willam ette Association of tha Congregational churches of Oregon. This association includes the towns of Corvallis, Albany, Eagene, Salem, Asiiland, aad Oregon City, and many de'egates are expected to be in attendance at the meetings, which will probably be field on the 25th and 26th. Among former Corvallis ministers who have signified tbtir intention of be ing present are Re v. P. S. Knight of Ss lemand Rev. Edward F. Green of Ashland. Rtv.
