a dozen visitors present from tbe Daugh

tant prices travelling advertising fakirs
can get from merchants for advertising
that Is of very little value to the adver
tiser. And In most cases people who pat
ronize the fellow that drops into town
with an advertising scheme seldom ad
vertise In the home papers, where tbe
advertisement will do them some good.
A scheme was worked here recently
that was certainly a "fat thing" for the
fellow who worked It. It the business
men would give the matter a little con
sideration tbe majority of the travelling
advertising schemers would soon be en
gaged In some other line of business.

highly pleased, and went away with the
highest praise upon their Hps for the
company. The program, which was
bright, sparkling and enjoyable from
first to last, was rendered with that ar
tistio finish and smoothness which
marks the performance of only skilled
musicians. Miss Marguerite Smith,
the reader, captivated, the audience.
Her impersonations of the lisping
three-year-old to the awkward school
boy of fifteen, were perfect. Her read
ings, which were out of the ordinary,
showed tbe marks of true genius. The
splendid array of talent, of which this
company is composed cannot fail to please
the most exacting audlonoe. The com
pany Is filling a three-night engage
ment In New York City this weok. The
Ariel Ladles' Sextette will be one of
the attractions at tbe Jefferson oounty
teachers' institute next month.
While the audience was delighted
with the entertainment, tbe Smith
Sisters were pleased with the large au
dience. Tbe fact of tbe matter, the
company was a little surprised to see as
well dressed and fine looking audience
as greeted them In Assembly ball
Thursday evening.

VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER
Was the Verdict of the Jury In the Oroves
Murder Case.
After being out all night the jury In
the case of Ernest Groves, charged with
murdering his father, returned a ver
dict In tho Jefferson county court last
Friday morning of voluntary man
slaughter. Tim trial lasted six days
and the enso was given Into tho hands
of jury at 5.35 p. m. Thursday. Juilgo
Reed Informed the jury that If they
could agree on a verdlut before ten o'
clock that night ho would open court
and receive It, but not later than ton
o'clock. It was after midnight before
tho jury agreed on a verdict. The re
sult of first ballot was ten for man
slaughter nnd two for second dogreo
murdor.
In his charge to tho jury, Judge Rood
saM that, according to tho evldoneo,
they could l ender a verdict of murder
In tho first degree, murdor In tho second
degree, manslaughter, or thoy could
render a vordlct of acquittal.
On Monday of this week an applica
tion was mado for a new trial,- twelve
reasons being given why a new trial
should be granted. Judge Reed will
hoar the arguments on tho caso some
day this wook.
The attorneys for the defense were so
sanguine of acquittal, at least they
talked that way, that tho jury's verdict
was a great surprise to young Groves.
Ha seemed to be apparently little con
cerned before the verdict was handed
down, but tho verdict was a blow for
bim.
Ernest Groves Is a bright young man,
a graduate of Clarion Normal and Grove
City College
It Is now reMirted that Ernest Groves
made a statement to Sheriff Chesnutt
about what ho did to his fathor on tho
barn, that would be strong evidence
against Ernest if ho gots a new trial.

able organization, bearing the name of
the woll known pianist, Mr. Jaroslaw
do Zielinskl, has won for Itself since
its establishment In lHUM a wldo and
excellent reputation for its unique en

ic on hearing a prlvato rehearsal ex
claimed: "Their playing is like that of
ono person, not only as regards unfnim
mlty of Ideas, but also In all the minut
est details which are so precious to the
composor." lnaproludoto thoir first
conoert of obainbor music season I8IW
11100, Mr. James Hunukor, the eminent
New York critic, says: "Wo arc all con
founded by tho prodigality of tho music
drama, by tho splendor of tho full or
chestra, but in music tho 'still small
voice' Is but heard, or rather overheard,
In a chamber concert. There, two,
threo or four artists of exquisite and at
tunod temperaments may reveal a spot
in the fair land of art that Is overflow
ing with milk and honey. Less imper
sonal than the orchestra, less egotlstio
than the solo player, chamber muslo Is
at onco elevating and pleasure evoking.
It is a notable pastime." Tho above
linos express fully what may bo expect
