Will Combine a Rare Pleasure With a Most Deserving Cause, Mrs, William S. Russell and Miss Alice Herr, both of whom are well-known to all lovers of music in Lan-' caster, have promised a rare treat to our musical public in the shape of a concert of chamber music for two pianos to be given In the Martin Auditorium on the evening of June 5.

Mrs. Russell and Miss Herr have offered to make this concert a benefit for the Lancaster General Hospital, and the Woman's Auxiliary of the Hospital, in recognition of this gracious act, have undertaken the management of it for them. It has been decided to devote the proceeds to the starting of a fund for a much-needed ambulance for the hospital, and It is hoped that the start made will be a most substantial one. Certain it is that the combination of so worthy an object and so delightful a benefit Is very rare, and there can be no doubt of Its being appreciated. The Auxiliary will shortly send to every active and every contributing member two tickets to the concert, In tbe hope that they may be disposed of.

In this way they hope to simplify the distribution of tickets, and to spread abroad Information concerning the really notable musical event. Death of Miss Lillie Wilson, of Columbia.

Mr. Elmer Denllnger, of the firm of Denllnger Charles, who operate a large cnopplng mill In the village of Intercourse, was the victim on Friday afternoon of an accident which, It is feared, may have a fatal termination. Mr. Charles was injured internally, and.untll the extent of nis injuries becomes apparent, his recovery Is regarded as problematical. On Friday afternoon Mr.

Denllnger was working alone on the first floor, and just how the accident occurred cannot be learned until the victim is able to talk. Appearances Indicate that while wrorking near the main belt his clothing in some manner was caught, and Denlinger was drawn to the rapidly revolving fly-wheel. Tie mans body was held in this position until the belting tore, when it was released. The momentum was great enough to hurl Denlingers body into the adjacent corn-bin, Mr. Denlingers father-in-law, Mr.

Hiram Charles, was working on the second floor of the mill, when he was startled by a series of pounding, lowed by a crash and the stopping of the machinery. Upon investigating, he found his son-in-law unconscious in the corn-bin, bleeding from the mouth and nose. Dr. W. F.

Mylin, the family physician, was summoned, and the Injured man was removed to his home, close by. He remained unconscious all night, and to-day was conscious only at intervals. While no bones are broken, it is feared that Mr. Denlinger has oeen seriously injured internally. ANOTHER HOLD-UP.

Services at Ranck Church and interment In the adjoining cemetery. for 'whisky. Schilling ancTSn a losf no time in getting away from such unpleasant company, and they at once reported the matter to police headquarters.

Constable Lollar happened to he there, and he and Patrolman Am-wake started out to look for the men. They were found back of the tanks at the gas works, and at once arrested, though one of them, John Kissinger, showed fight. His companion was John Vollmer. The former only re-centlv finished a term in the Kastprn Normal school I have to think of the woild outside that Is waiting for men and women to come out and enter this busy world around them. She waits anxiously till they graduate, in order to sec what kind oi men and women they will be.

To the schools she refers for men of noble characteristics. Many young people, after they have left school, expecting to find employment, find they are not able to do anything, and that she (the world can not do anything with them. Be there none such here at the Normal. It Is like the man who, having swallowed a dollar, didn't know whothor he was a dollar in or a dollar out. There are some people to whom everything appears strange.

You can not say yes or no withoyt making a positive answer. It is dishonorable to see men advancing rather backwards than forwards. We do not want men to analyze or criticise, but we need men that are positive, certain and strong. "Again, we must throw out men ready to serve the world. There are ninet ysnine people in business life who form an extra burden to the world.

It is like the deacons, who, when they got to the hill, jumped in the cart and left the load for the one brother. Never depend on the world, but be yourself. There are many people, educated, who are dead, and dont know it. It wants life pouring forth out of the body In life and action. Giving ones self and not selfpreservative is the first law of life.

Oliver Shriner's pictures never lost their colors. They were permanent. His power lay in his own hearts blood. Your strength may lie in practical lines, In medicine, in secular works of different kinds. "Be one of centrifugal force and not one of centripetal.

Dont go out to see how you can suck the blood out of the world. You have to go out and throw yourself into the worlds need. Never go out and say, you are worth so much, but say, what may I do for you, and you will always be welcome. You must not be despondent, but one of perseverance, carrying with you a cheery countenance. This is not a bad and evil world, and if you look on the dark world you will always be despondent.

You ought to save the world, and say, what may I do for you? The world wants you to sing and laugh, and to walk lightly, with an elastic step. Hope is a curious thing; a ghostly shadow of by-gone age. It is seeing into visions and bringing them into daily life. The painter sees a wonderful picture or scene which he brings forth in a picture. You must see the world, not as she is, but as she is going to be.

Our hymns carry the idea of hope, as in Onward.Christian Soldiers. Again, I always like enthusiasm when it comes from the heart. Realize that your country is the greatest tho world, and then yield to nobody; realize that you are the most efficient man in the world and let no man discourage you? Did you ever come to think why we should be enthusiastic? Look at our schools, colleges, lands, mines, of the wonderful and capacious America. Then, again, class distinction; the rich and poor, the capitalist and the laborer, etc. We must not do this.

Don't say that I will help this man and not that one. You cannot do anything permanently that will be so by ununifying it. Not piety, but we want a realization that God made us, that we want to take him, to serve and view Ilim face to face. Denominations make no difference. But serve God, be a Christian and dont think of living in the Church ar.d not in your business.

Think of God as your loving, tender Father and with you every hour and in whatever business you are in. Go into the world, magnificent, and hope and see what the world is going to be and have that love for God in your heart that you may have Him everywhere with you. The Recitations. The elocutionist of the evening was Miss Anna Mary Landis, of Millersville, who graduated from the Normal in 1902, and then studied elocution at the National School of Elocution' and Oratory in Philadelphia, and afterward at the Emerson College, of Boston. Miss Landis charmed the audiene by her appearance and her skill.

She gave a scene from Shakespeares Taming of the Shrew with admirable clearness and great spirit. Her second number, A Musicale was very natural and sprightly. She gave three encores to please her audience. Music. A very delightful featureof the evening was the numbers rendered by Madam Schlisman, Lancaster's talented and charming violinist.

Her numbers, Fantasia Appassionata, by Vieuxtemps, and Spanish Dances. from Sarasate, were most enthusiastically encored. Her accomplished pianist, Miss Mary Bowman, of Millersville, shared in her triumph. The music department of the school is always called on to furnish an important part of the anniversary programme. Miss Marion Miner, of the piano department of the school.remler-ed a piano solo, Valse de Juliette Gounod, Raff, showing herself a perfect mistress of technique, as well as a brilliant expressive performer.

Miss Mary Edyth Allen, of the vocal department, sang two numbers Ombra, Mai Fu" (Serse) from Handel, and Irish Folk Song, from Foote, with accompaniment by Miss Miner at the piano and Madam Schlisman on the violin. Miss Allens voice is a very rich contralto which she uses with wonderful expression. Each song was a beautiful and artlbtic performance. The musical programme was completed by the rendition of On Wings of Music. Rubenstein, by a chorus of ladies.

Misses Beam, Barton, Lloyd, Millersville was exceptionally active on Friday evening, owing to many Pageitos and their friends having returned to attend the fifty-first anniversary of their society. The school had a half-holiday session. The stage was very beautifully decorated with palms, ferns and white hyacinths, which, with the beautiful lamps, in connection with the society motto, Rich in Truth, made a handsome scene. The anniversary officers wer the following: President, Rev. Wtlliara H.

Hartzler, 78, Lancaster: Secretary, Mrs. Edith Kautz Nissley, 00, Lancaster; Page Orator, Mr. Amos E. Kray-bill, 02, Lancaster; Reader, Miss Anna M. Landis, 02, Millersville; Honorary Orator, Rev.

Floyd W. Tomkins, Rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia. Tbe Committee of Arrangements consisted of the following members: Miss Elsie Grove, Miss Jennie Weltzel, Miss Carrie E. Myers, Mr. Harry V.

Ernest Ecker, trombone; Mr. C. E. Swahn, comet, and Mr. H.

Porter, comet. The evening opened with music by the Page Orchestra, led by Mr. Diehl. There were three addresses during the evening, all of them good and very appropriate. The welcome to the audience was extended in hearty terms by the President, Rev.

Hartzler, who, besidoe being a graduate in the elementary and scientific courses, was also a professor of Mathematics in the school for many years and a very strong and faithful member of the Page Society. In part, he said: Among the many attractions of the State Normal School are the two literary societies. The abundance of opportunity that they have afforded in advancing literary culture has been remarkable, and, indeed, without limit. The societies have, side by side, for over fifty years, advanced and progressed and to-night we celebrate the fifty-first anniversary." Rev. Hartzler made a very good presiding officer and introduced the various subjects on the programme in an impressive manner.

Owing to his loyalty to the society and school, the society Is very proud of him. After the address, the audience was favored with music, a violin solo, entitled "Fantasia Appassionata, by Madam Schlisman, of Lancaster. Her touch was impressive and delightful. The Page Oration. The Page oration, entitled The Poetry of William Butler Yeates, was given by Mr.

Amos E. Krayblil, 02, who is at present professor of the English department of Franklin and Marshall Academy. The rendition of the oration was very commendable. He directed his subject to the wave of national enthusiasm in the poetic channel, which has swept over Ireland since the beginning of the nineteenth century. We have neither heard nor seen Irish poetry very largely distributed or written, but the spirit of the Irish people has been to institute a national form of poetry of their own.

Back of all this movement has been William Butler Yeates. And now where shall they get this new idea? Could they get it from the conditions of the times? No; the only source that the poets could secure their national poetic inspiration was from the myths, or, rather, the early history of the Irish peasants. The Irish poet must return to legends for their poetry. Mr. Yeates style suggested a more dream-heavy manner.

It can be expressed by symbols. He, being a naturally-inclined poet, possessed the expression of beauty. He was musical but his style was otherwise weak. He seems most poetic when he gives it In simple and unpretentious poetry. He first set out to find what to write about and then searched the ballads of Ireland.

'He is a writer of the by-paths of the land. Plano solo, entitled Valse de Juliette," was rendered by Miss Miner, the pianist of the State Normal School. She Is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music. The programme continued with a reading by Miss Anna Mary Landis, '02, a graduate of the National School of Elocution and Oratory, Philadelphia, and a student of the Emerson College of Boston. She entertained the audience with a scene from "The Taming of the Sinew.

This was followed by a lighter recitation. She evinced special elocutionary talent and evoked flattering applause. Music Vocal solo, comprising two selections, (a) Ombra Mai Fu and (b) Irish Folk Song, by Miss Allen, vocal instructor of the Normal school. The Honorary Address. The nouorarj address, on the subject Men and Women the World Needs To-day, was by the Rev.

Floyd V. Tomplns. D. of Philadelphia. The doctor gave his audience many words of learning and wisdom, and showed a glimpse of the freedom and happiness which come after a strong character has been formed.

Only an imperfect abstract can be given: Whenever I come to any college or Penitentiary. The men were locked up, and will be held for a hearing before Alderman Doebler on the charge of highway robbery. Death of Mrs. Win, Phillips. Sallie, wife of William Phillips, died at the home of her sister, Mrs.

Samuel Holzhauer, at Martinsville, Strasburg township, on Thursday, aged sixty-one years, from cancer. She was a daughter of the late Henry Lefever. Her sister and two brothers, Henry Quarryville, and Elam, survive. The funeral was held to-day. HELD UP IN JOHNSTOWN.

A Young Man in a Bad Position Officers Watched His Doings. Lately the pool rooms of Anastatius Notopoius, the (ireek, located in the lieinitsh building, North Queen street, have teen robbed, and Friday night another thief risked lie place, to his sorrow, as he was captured hy Con-table Lollar a ml Special Officer Kopf, who if on duty at the pool rooms. Lollar thought it would be a good night to watch the place, hollering sonic youth might need circus money, and he thought correctly. At a late hour Frank Thatcher slipped into the rear yard and, opening the transom above the back door, was quickly in-ide the establishment. From the outside Lollar -aw Him sneak to he cash iegi-ter, but, finding it secured, and nothing else being within reach, he caught up about a dozen packages of peanuts and started for the back door.

He had a bad scare when Lollar ordeied him to open the door and come out, and when he oteyed, was made a prisoner. All he hud to do was to admit that he was tent on robbery. The offender has teen held for a hearing before Alderman Doebler to answer the charges of felonious entry ami larceny. Robbers Despoil Woman's Home. Chagrined over the fact that they could secure nothing of great value, robbers yesterday looted and despoiled the residence of Miss Elizabeth Dietz, of intercourse.

Miss Dietz had been away visiting and. upon her return, found that some persons had effected an entrance to the place by forcing a rear door. The marauders thoroughly ransacked the whole house, and, finding nothing to their liking, showed their displeasure by breaking and smashing household articles and despoiling new carpets in vile fashion. Lancaster Youth Tells Tale of Flood City Depravity. From the Altoona Gazette.

Harry Steigelman, a young man about twenty-two years old, who said his home Is in Landis Valley, Lancaster county, appeared at the Mayor's office this (Friday) morning and asked for transportation to his home, telling the authorities that he had been held up and robbed on Thursday night in Johnstown. Steigelman said he had been In Pittsburg, and while in Johnstown about nine oclock on Thursday night on his way east he was approached by a man, who thrust a revolver to his face and compelled him to hand over his money, about $10, and his watch. He also compelled him to trade shoes, getting In place of his own comiortable ovfo'ris a prir brogans much too large for him. Being thus left without funds, Steigelman started to walk eastward, and, after an all-night tramp, landed In Al-toona on Friday morning.
