Would Have No "23" in His,
So Will be Married Sunday
Afternoon.
Associated Preea to The Bmlai Tlmra.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 23.—Landfield
Graff—On Sunday, Feb. 24, 1907, at
the Unity clubhouse, Miss Mathilda
Graff to Mr. Herman Landfield, known
to the lghting world as "Kid" Her
man.
For the "Kid" is 'going' to be mar
ried in the mornin', or rather in the
evening for 5 p. m. is the hour fixed
for the ceremony. The affair was
originally set for today, but on look
ing at the calendar the "Kid" said
no "23" for 'his. So it was deferred
one day. And it's going to a swell,
bang-up affair. The bride-elect be
longs to the best German society in
Chicago and there is expected to be
a great outpouring of guests for the
ceremony. Though this will mark the
"Kid's" debut in society he does not
purpose to go back on his old friends.
When the invitations were sent out
for the wedding the list included the
names of many of the lads who form
erly worked at the bench side by side
with Heerman. In these days the
"Kid" was a brush maker and the
only match making he did was to en
gage in a Saturday night bout for $10
in a hall over a saloon in West Ran
dolph street

ball fans to organize a team in this
city to enter the league being formed

Leeds and York. The towns above
mentioned are enthusiastic over the
prospects of forming a league and are
ready to enter. There is enough local
talent in Devils Lake jUo form a

details of the circuit and the organi

MUSICAL NOTES
The sunbeam chorus Is making quite
a hit at the revival services which are
in progress in the city. Rev. A. B.
Davidson and A. C. V. R. Gilmore are
the musical directors and soloists, and
have inspiring choruses at all the serv
ices.
Professor Bissing of Topeka, Kan.,
has recently invented an instrument
which will produce violin music by
means of a keyboard bearing a close
resemblance to that of the piano. The
professor has been at work on the In
strument for nine years. It is com
posed of thirty-nine violins, ten violas
and tweflve 'cellos. The keyboard Is
operated by the means of a revolving
wheel and the strings sound as they
come in contact with the wheel. Pro
fessor Bissing calls his invention "the
orchestrino."
Fully 300 people attended the free
concert given in the musical depart
ment at the Luger Furniture Company
at Fargo last Saturday afternoon. A
selection of late red seal records was
made to be reproduced on the Victor
Victrola, and, the audience seeming
unwilling to leave, the machine was
kept at work for two hours. Provision
had been made for about 100 guests,
but arrangements were made whereby
all could toe seated, and the concert
was a decided success and much en
joyed. Those who attended were loud
in their praise of the concert, and hope
another will be announced for the near
future.
Although still without a leader, the
Grand Forks Military band continues
practice regularly and is making sat
is actory progress. Mr. O. M. Hatcher
is absent from the city, but on his re
turn a decision will be made as to who
will be engaged as leader. There have
been a number of applications for the
position. Mr. Farley of Ada has been
mentioned as having a favorable can
didature.
The Crary, N. D., brass band had its
practice room in one of the rooms on
the second floor of the opera house of
that city, and in the fire last week lost
a large number of instruments, furni
ture and sheet music. The band gave
an open-air concert only the night pre
vious to the fire and received many
compliments on the progress it has
made. The loss of the instruments
will be a hard blow to the boys, but
they will make an effort to get a new
set and keep up the organisation, and
in this they will be encouraged by the
citizens of the community.
The high school glee club of Bath
gate gave a very enjoyable concert last
night in the opera house of that city.

Sappho lived about 2,500 years ago
on the Island of Lesbos. She was
an unusual woman, and has been de
scribed by many ancient writers and
historians. At the time she lived she
was regarded as the greatest musician
of Greece.
She was celebrated for, being the
most renowned player of the lyre, an
instrument bearing close resemblance
to a small harp and strung with seven
strings.
She was famous also for possessing
a rich contralto voice.
Many inventions and .musical dis
coveries have been placed to her credit
by the ancient Greeks, but the histo
rians of modern times discredit their
statements, believing that Sappho made
only a few musical discoveries of im
portance. She was the first to discover
that a bridge placed a third of the way
up the strings on a stringed instru
ment, 'thus dividing them into two un
equal parts, would be tuned in octavos
to each other. By this discovery the
players of the lyre were able to pro
duce fourteen, instead of seven, notes,
and it greatly improved the tone.
The plectrum, a small quill or piece
of ivory used for picking the strings
of certain instruments, was Invented
by her. She also Invented the scale
known as the mixolydiau mode.
Sappho was not only a musician, but
a poetess as we?M. She gave lessons
on the harp and taught singing and the
composition of verses. She was a won
derful woman, unusually talented and
most beautiful. She possessed the pow
er to charm man, woman and child.
A writer 'has said that "her smile had
a fascination in it second only to that
of Helen of Troy."

DEHNES PURPOSE OF
Circular Sent Out Through

New Committee.
Circulars outlining the work of the
recommendation committee have been
mailed by Registrar Oates to the heads
of schools all over the state. The new
committee should prove to be of great
service, not only to university stu
dents and graduates, but also to par
ties seeking the services of the young
men and women which the university
is fitting out for the world's work.
The members of the committee are:
Joseph Kennedy, A. M., chairman
George S. Thomas. M. A. Brannon,
Vernon P. Squires, John Tingelstad

The circular follows:

The duty of the Recommendation
committee, Instituted in 1906, is to

This committee was organized in

officers of the university were desig
nated to take charge of recommenda

formation in regard to all university
candidates for the teaching profession.
A secretary is in charge of the list
of applicants, which Includes the
names of many who have already won
success in their profession. The sec
retary secures evidence in regard to
the scholarship, experience and per
sonal qualifications of each candidate
and on the basis of this information
recommendations are made by the
committee to appointing authorities.
The purpose is to secure such in
formation as will enable the selection
of the best available persons for a
given position. The practice of giving
written recommendations to students
to be used at their own discretion has
been discontinued. Reports from in
structors are filed in the recommen
dation secretary's ofllce. Copies of
these reports will be mailed school
officers at their request, or at the re
quest of the student concerned. The
committee will refuse to extend the
co-operation of the university to stu
dents who apply for positions for
which they are manifestly unfit. Of
ficial nominations for positions are
made only on request of those in au
thority. Letters requesting such nom
inations should state explicitly the
subjects to be taught or the work to
be done, the salary paid per year, and
the time when the engagement be
gins. A prompt answer Will be made
to such letters throughout the sum
mer vacation as well, as during the
academic year. The secretary will
consult any member of the faculty
whose advice is especially desired.

of this office, either to students or
school authorities.
