Thomas Eeeeham has come into a fortune ot about $130,000,000 through the death of his father. Sir Joseph Beecham, of pill fame. The son has always been much interested in' music and with his father's money he estab lished an opera company in England and conducted it for several seasons there. At one time he planned to bring an opera company here. It is likely that music will profit largely by his great fortune. Chauncey Mitchell Depew Is a fjne exemplification of the theory of the survival of the fittest. ' The ex-Senator from New York celebrated his 82d birthday last April, but he goes about his business affairs daily with all, the energy of a man of half of his age. The'only difference in Mr. Depew's life lie career he is not taking an active part in the National campaign. He will vote for Hughes, however.

The picture of a large codfish on 'a platter, copies of which adorn thousands of homes throughout the world, was one of his earliest achieve ments and perhaps one of his greatest. The latest noteworthy work of the great artist was a self portrait ex hibited early in the present year. Mr. Chase is nearly 67 years old. having been born in Franklin, Ind., November 1. 1849. The Duke of Orleans is trying to get tne irope to grant mm a divorce, ac cording to reports from Paris. . His wife and he have been separated since 1914. . An understanding is being arranged among the professional musicians of this city those who depend for a liv ing on returns from their playing or singing and recognize musio as their sole occupation that no one of their number shall in the future participate in a public recital or concert at which admission money is charged without receiving a fee. It is argued by these musicians that they have spent con siderable money on their musical edu cation and that they "had to live." If the proposed deal goes through, it will affect adversely the qualities of music now heard at several club recitals at which, up to now, little or no re renumeration has been given soloists for their services. Miss Mary Brobet took part in a pleasant concert at Sherwood, assisted by Frank Thomas Chapman, violinist. and who played three numbers and eeveral encores. Miss Brobst rendered the big "Apassionata Sonata" of Beethoven with authority and a group ot Chopin etudes, waltzes, "Berceuse," with much merit. The Liszt numbers gave opportunity to show her tem perament. Miss Brobst is a member of the Portland Conservatory of Music and one of the beot equipped solo pianists in this city. HartrWge Whipp, baritons. and Le onora Fieher Whipp, accompanist, have won another signal concert success in their appearance at the First Presby terian Church. Salem, Or., under the auspices of the Civic Improvement Club. Mr. and Mrs. Whipp were greeted by an enthusiastic audience, and recall numbers were rendered several times. Mr. Whipp was in fine voice and de livered hie difficult programme in ex cellent style. As evidence of the splen did work of these well-known Port land soloists they were at once re engaged for another appearance in Sa lem Wednesday night, November 22. Under the direction of Mrs. Adeline Alvord. a students' recital of readings took, place at Etlers building and was much enjoyed. Meritorious work was noted from all those who participated in the event. Including: Walter Gil lard, Margaret Nelson, Elizabeth Single ton and Robert Searcy. Miss Helen CapleS. a piano student of Miss Abby Whiteside, played with ability and bril liant finVsh two numbers by MacDowell. Mrs. Alvord will in the near future present Elizabeth Singleton in recital. reading "Quality Street (Sir James Barrie). (Continued frem Pace S. "Nutcracker" suite. The ensemble work was finely balanced. Dr. Cushing, who has traveled in Russia, in an in formal address discussed the influence and worth of Tschalkowsky as a com poser. The meeting was the last of a series of lectures by Dr. Cushing on great composers of music. . . So much popular appeal had the ex cellent concert of the United Scandi navian Singers, assisted by Mrs. Vir ginia Spencer Hutchinson, contralto, and Waldemar Llnd, violinist, at the Lincoln High School auditorium last Friday night, that the hall was nearly filled by a capacity audience, in spite of the inclemency of the weather. Charles Swenson was director and ac companist, and explanatory remarks on the Scandinavian songs sung were made by Rev. Wilhelm Pettersen. Mr. Swenson was admirable, prompt and rrvusicianly as director, and brought out from the chorus splendid ensemble ef fects. The chorus numbered 41 voices and sang with spirit, finish and ex- ession. It is decidedly one of the best choruses in this city. Mrs. Hutch inson, contralto, and Mr. Lind, violin ist, are in their respective lines un - equaled in musical performance in the Pacific Northwest, and are towers 'of strength to any concert or recital.

Arthur Farwell, Charles "Wakefield Cadman and Harry Gilbert have com posed incidental music for the plays in the repertory of the Portmanteau The ater, Stuart Walker's unique portable theater, which Maximilian .Elser, Jr., and Russell Janney are sending forth this season. Mr. Farwell added to hit international fame last Spring as a re sult of the music he wrote for Percy Mackey's Shakespearean masque, "Call- ban of the Yellow Sands." presented in New York. Charles Wakefield Cad man's "Indian Lyrics" and other com positions on Indian themes have placed him in the forefront among American composers. His "Land of the Sky Blue Water has been widely sung in con cert. Mr. Gilbert, who has many songs and piano compositions to his credit, is known personally to musical folk all over the country from his association with David Bispham for many seasons as accompanist. At Trinity Episcopal Church tonight at 8 o clock Luciers E. Becker, the or ganist, will give his monthly free pipe organ recital, choosing these numbers for renditions irom English composers: "Choral Song and Fugue in C" (Wes ley). "Meditation" (Sturges), "Festival March" (Calkins), "Scherzo in B-Flat (Hoyte), "Barcarolle" (Wolstenholme).

Grover at the pipe organ. The combined choirs of the church will participate in this concert in an attractive programme. An added attraction will be the trio numbers by Miss Camille Taylor, violin; A. O. San ders, clarinet, and Mrs. Samuel F. Gro ver. pipe . organ. Those appearing in the solo "numbers are Marie Keller Fisher, soprano; Isabella Merryman, contralto; Virginia Miller and Helen Johnson, sopranos; Harry Whetsel, tenor, and Mr. MacFall. baritone. , M - The British army songs, "Tipperary" and "Keep the Home Fires Burning," it would seem, have found a rival in Chalk Farm to Camberwell Green." Well, it's a long way to Tipperary, and onlyj a 'bus ride from Chalk Farm to Camberwell Green (a title, by the way, that might sound pleasantly rustic to those who do not know their London). But apparently it has taken nearly a year for.

A souvenir of a gruesome ex perience In New Zealand is pos sessed by H.

"We had gone inland from Auckland two years ago," said Mr. Han Ben, "a shipmate and myself, and Instead of following the railroad we tried to take a short cut across country. After wander ing for several days without food we walked into a Maori camp, where a chief gave us what we supposed was dried beef We later found it to be human flesh.

When you come to think of it. there can be very few "'bus routes" in London that would lend themselves readily to a rhyth mically musical phrase. As a harmless recreation to some happy Londoners who are making holiday at the seaside we invite a few suggestions. Mean while, it Is to be hoped that none of our enterprising revue composers, in attempting to fashion such legends as "Victoria Station to Walthamstow"- or "Barnes o Liverpool Street" into mu sical phrases will end by finding him self at HanwelL There have been rumors around the staff of the New York Sun newspaper that "W. J. Henderson, the veteran mu sic critic of that paper, would cease his connection with the Sun, but it is now definitely announced that Mr. Hender son's services will be retained. Mr. Henderson was born in 'Newark. N. J.. December 4. 1855, and was graduated from Princeton University, receiving the degree of master of arts in 1876 He became a reporter for the New York Tribune, and. in 1883 Joined the staff of the New York Times as reporter ana music critic. In 1902 he received his appointment as music critic of the Sun. Mr. Henderson's versatility is revealed in the diversity of topics of tne dooks he lias written. Amon them are The fetory of Music, Preludes and Studies." "Sea Yarns for Boys, Afloat With the Flag." "Elements of Navigation." "The Last Cruise of the Mohawk." "What Is Good Music?'

He has been an associate editor of the Standard Dictionary and a .lieutenant of First Battalion of the Naval Militia. a The meeting of the Dallas Oratorio Society was held in the Methodist Church, Dallas, last week, because of conflict with Halloween parties at the High -School. A fine rehearsal was enjoyed and the well-balanced chorus already shows the benefit of the past three. weeks' training. - In the business meeting immediately following the re hearsal, John Orr was elected president, Mrs. D. A. Mackenzie vice-president and J. Dunkleberger secretary-treasurer. These three officers, with Mrs. Gilbert P. MacGregor and the director, Joseph A. Finley, constitute the board of di rectors. Miss Marjorie Bennet was elected accompanist. Miss Bennet is a talented young pianist and a splendid aid to the organization. Much enthusi asm was shown and several new mem bers added to the number already en rolled. It is expected that the chorus will number over 80 voices by the mid dle of December. The girls' glee club at the High School already numbers 33 voices. These two choruses will, together, number over 100 voices and the members plan to cotne to Portland to join the large chorus which, under the auspices of the Multnomah Sunday School Association, .is planning its big concert with about 500 voices in April. m m The New England Society gave a pleasant social at Cotillion Hall Thurs day night. Many former residents of the New England states and their fam ilies were present and enjoyed the in teresting programme furnished by the programme committee, in charge of rMiss Marie A S. Soule.

(Spe- The Young Women's and Young Men's Christian Associations of the Oregon Agricultural College in the present college year have made their influence felt upon the college com munity in an Industrial and social manner, as well as in a religious way. Members of both associations at tne beginning of the year were active in assisting new students in getting started, in obtaining employmwnt for those who applied, and. lri the 'case of the men, in finding suitable boarding places. Two weeks before the doors of the registrar's office were open the offices of the associations in Shepard Hall had begun their work. Letters had been mailed to prospective stu dents and every effort was made to make new students feel at home after their arrival on the campus. , During the first four months of the first semester last year $4000 worth of work was secured for men students by the Y. M- C. A., and this mark ia ex pected to be passed this Fall. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. Joined in giving a reception to new students and more social functions are being planned. Early in October the Y. M. C. A. held a stag social in Shep ard Hall and this week held the annual Joint Y M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. Hal loween party. Both association have definite plans for their work. Weekly meetings are held and the enrollment in Bible study classes is going forward rapidly. Miss Lillian Francis, general secretary of the Y. W. C. A., says the work of the association is more comprehensive than ever before. "Last year we had three-fourths of the girls of the" college In the associa tion." said Miss Francis, "but this year we expect to have a larger percentage than that. 'Every woman at O. A. C. In the Y. W. C. A." has been adopted as our slogan. The Y. W. C. A. Ktudent officers are: Miss Bernlce Forest, of Portland, presi dent; Miss Mabelle Davit, of Corvallis. vice-president; Miss Holen McDonald, of Corvallis. secretary, and Muss Ruby Beers, of Corvallis. treasurer. The officers for the Y, M. C. A. are B. T. McMlnn. of Corvallis. president; V. C. Firestone, of Vancouver. Wash., vice-president, and F. W. Walton, of Salem, treasurer. Mrs. Minnie Myens-Eivers, contralto. will sing this morning at Piedmont Presbyterian Church "Fear Not Ye, Oh Israel" (Buck). Mm. Elvers is tne contralto soloist at St. James English Lutheran Church. "You can't ' imagine," said the mu sical young woman, "how distressing it is when a singer realizes that she has lost her voice." "Perhaps not," replied the plain man, "but I've got a fair idea how distress ing it Is when she doesn't realize, it." Columbia, Mo., Record. LEGAL SIDELIGHTS FOR LAWYERS AND LAYMEN BY REYXELLB G. E. COR.VISH, OF PORTLAND BAR. SLOW PAY. " Even the most leisurely of debtors dislikes to be listed as "slow pay" and resents finding his name listed among the delinquent. The defendant in McDonald vs. Lee, 92 Atl. 134, was "a physician, of Carlisle. It appeared from the evidence that a number of physicians of that ity had determined to prepare, for their own use. a list of the names of patients who were slow in making payments for medical advice rendered to them. The defendant was a member of the association and sn furnished to the secretary, among other names of per sons whom she regarded as able to pay, but who were slow in making payment for services, the name of the plaintiff. The list of names thus reported as slow pay was printed by the associa tion with the number of the physician who furnished the name added. There was nothing upon the face of the pub lication to Indicate its purpose, and no one but a member could understand ita meaning. The publication was con sidered -confidential, and was limited to members of the medical association. The plaintiff, in some way, discovered that his name was decorating the slow pay list and indignantly brought suit for damages to his reputation. The court, however, ruled that the commun ication was a privileged one and, there being no evidence of malice, or any special damages, the verdict must be for the defendant.

It was shown that the words here used with respect to the plaintiff did not go beyond Imputing to him slowness in the payment of his bills, and under the evidence, it can hardly be claimed that he was prompt in the discharge of that duty ... the good faith of the defend ant in making the communication waa not questioned. She had an interest in the subject matter, and the com munication was made to persons hav ing a corresponding interest in the subject.. . . We can see no sufficient ground for holding the publication li belous per se." Maid la America. is the American girl always an American lady, or is she necessarily even an American maid? For a solu tion to these puzzling feminine prob lems, the reader is invited to peruse the case of the Hamilton Shoe Com pany vs. Wolf Brothers, 240 U. S. 241. The American Girl In this case turns out to be a shoe, and the manufactur er of it strongly objected to a rival concern manufacturing a similar shoe under the name "American Lady." The defendants contended that the term "American Girl" was a geo graphical , name, and as applied to women's shoes was descriptive merely of shoes manufactured in America and to be worn by women, and hence that the term.' as applied to shoes, was not the subject of a valid trade mark. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals, however, ruled as follows; "We do not regard the words 'The American Girl' adopted and employed by complainant in connection, with shoes of its manufacture, as being a geographical or descriptive term. It does not signify that the shoes "are manufactured In America, or intended to be sold or used in America, nor does it indicate the quality or the charac teristics of the shoes. Indeed, it does not, in its primary signification. In dicate shoes at all. 1C is a fanciful designation, arbitrarily selected by complainants' predecessors to desig nate siies of their manufacture. We are convinced that It was subject to appropriation for that purpose, and it abundantly appears to have been ap propriated by complainant and those under whom it claimed." The defendant then insisted that he should only be liable for that part of the, profits accruing from his infringe ment of the trade mark as distin guished from those arising from the intrinsic merit of the shoes. - The court, however, held that, it be ing impossible to determine the pro portionate amounts, the complainant was entitled to the whole on the ground that the fault lay with the defendant, and that therefore "it is but just that he should suffer the loss rather than an innocent party who in no way con tributed to the wrong." The complainant was thereupon en titled to recover profits amounting to about a half million dollars. RURAL SCHOOLS ARE AIDED Normal Professors in Demand for Extension Lectnres. OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL.
