The Astorian, at Astoria, Oregon,
sends us one of his efforts in the brass
rule line a representation of his
salmon-catching apparatus and ifc
may be seen in our job specimen de
partment. It seems that Bro. Harner,
of Taylorville, in his original and
very ingenious efforts in this line, is
waking "the craft" up all over the
country, and is showing printers what
they can do with simple brass rule.
When printers get started in the way
of improvement in one direction,
it is calculated to make them improve
others, and in this way is doing much
good to the fraternity.

Miss Josephine C. Bates, sister to
NMr. F. S. Bates, of Riverside, re
ceives the following compliment in a
Philadelphia paper :
Miss Josephine C. Bates, in the
Larghetto and Finale of Choppin's F
minor concerto, made a pleasant im
pression, and at the end of her per
formance was rewarded with applause
and flowers from the audience, .and
with what, she, perhaps, valued more,
the approval of the conductor. It
was no slight task for a young lady to
play a concerto with the Thomas or
chestra at a Philharmonic concert, and
she is to be congratulated on the re
sult of the undertaking.
Miss Bates is a graduate of the Con
servatory of Music, Berlin, and was a
favorite pupil of Kullak, who is, since
Tausig's death, acknowledged to be
the greatest piano teacher of Germany.
Miss Bates' first, and as yet only pub
lic appearance in this country as a so
loist, was in Boston, when her per
formance was favorably noticed by
the " Hub " critics. After Miss Bates
makes her debut before a Brooklyn
Philharmonic audience, she will ap
pear in New York, at the next dick
ering Hall Symphony concert.
