an District Court has sentenced
the mayor of Partonkirsche, a
large town on the edge of the

| which is an important summer
resort will be without govern

The Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music, Cincinnati, O.
During my experience of over
a quarter of a century, I have
rarely, if ever, met a more pains
taking teacher and consicenti
ous pupil than Miss Anne Sted
man, who studied with me here
last year.
Her work was always of the
best and thoroughly prepared
whilst her performances excit
ed great admiration not only
from the students themselves,
but from the prominent mem
bers of the large faculty. She
possesses a voice of good quali
ty and unusual flexibility and,
what is more to the point, she
' knows how to use it. Her artis
! tic interpretations are always
to be relied upon and are en
tirely convincing to the mind of
the critic. Those who are for
tunate to engage her services,
should consider themselves
lucky, for in both capacities she
will always give the highest sat
isfaction.
