SCHUMANN-HEINK AT SALEM 
Famous. SINGER AT ‘THE EMPIRE 
THEATRE, Monpbay, FEs. 3. 
What will no doubt prove to be the 
most improtant musical event of the 
year in this section will be the con- 
cert given at the Empire theatre in 
Salem Monday evening, Feb. 3, by 
Mme. Schumann-Heink assisted by 
Edward Collins, pianist. In paying 
tribute to Mme. Schumann-Heink the 
Bayreuth Festival Book of 1912 said: 
“Schumann-Heink, the artist—thar 
is all. Without an adjective. Let it 
be left to the little ones and _ the 
mediocrities to trick. out and exalt 
their personalities with decorative 
words. In the case of Ernestine 
Schumann-Heink all things are com- 
prehended in one: women, mother, 
singer, actress—and uniquely great. 
Great’ in the sense which is self- 
operative; sélf-understood, which by 
its penissant, convincing naturalness 
makes superfluous every explanation 
smacking of school or criticism. 
The coming to Salem of this great 
artist has already aroused unusual 
interest among the lovers of good 
music and it is safe to say that there 
B. & M. Trme-TasLE CHANGE 
Several important changes of time 
schedules of passenger trains on the 
Boston & Maine R. R. are announced 
in the change which will take effect 
Monday morning, Feb. 10. Several 
trains on the Gloucester branch will 
have their time changed, full particu- 
lars being obtained from time tables 
which will be in the hands of all ticket 
agents about three days prior to the 
change. 
“T don’t know whether it is a good 
thing to encourage women to go into 
politics or not,” said the man with a 
furrowed brow. 
“Surely you do not doubt their 
capability.” 
“Not in the least. But think of the 
appalling sums that will change hands 
if they got travelling hats on elect- 
ions.’—Washington Star.

Rev: Wa. H. Riper, D. D. Resicns 
After serving as pastor of the Inde- 
pendent Christian (Universalist) 
church in Gloucester for 30 years, 
Rev: William H. Rider, D. D., ten- 
dered his resignation to the members 
of the parish at last Sunday’s service. 
His action in severing his pastorate 
came as a total surprise to the mem- 
bers of his church and a general re- 
gret was felt that he had decided to 
give up active work in Gloucester. 
His resignation has been accepted, 
however, and a reception planned to 
honor his work. 
Dr. Rider has been 45 years in the 
ministry and is a leader among the 
Universalist ministers of the present 
day- He is well known as a man of 
commanding personality, a masterly 
orator and a companion whose society 
is much sought after. He has always 
taken an active interest in the public 
affairs of Gloucester, his efforts for 
civic improvement being evident in 
many ways. If the Rev. Mr. Rider 
decides to remove from Gloucester he 
will be greatly missed by a host of 
friends outside of his own congrega- 
tion.
