CONFIRMANTS EXAMINED At the German Salem Evangelical Church---Some Excellent Music. The examination of the confirmation classes of the German Salem Evangelical church, took place at the morning and evening services Sunday. The German class, consisting of Sarah J. Hartmann, Caroline Griesneimer. Clara Wegerle, Cora Marie Richard, John Rudolph Batteiger, Clarence W.

Zurcher and Lewis Wilhelm, was examined at the morning service, and the class. Kathry Caroline Griesheimer, Mabel Irene Wilhelm, Estelle B. Nolze, Maud Agnes Krick, Harry Charles Krick and Walter Henry Rumpf, at the evening service. This examination was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Reinicke, and was given according to the catechism.

Each confirmant did most creditably, and all showed themselves to have had splendid instruction and to have made a most careful study of the catechism. The church WAS exceedingly pretty for the occasion, the altar and chancel rail being decorated in beautiful potted plants and cut flowers. The church, at both services, was full to the doors, and it was necessary to carry in chairs during the evening. The music throughout the day was exceptiontlly fine, as special preparation had been made by the choir and the organist, Mr. A.

Scott. In the morning the opening voluntary, a beautiful selection, "March Tontisicale." by Gounod, was rendered by Mr. A. A. Scott, organist, and Mr.

Albert Tritscheller violin. 'There were two anthems by the cheir, "Zu Den Bergen," Lorenz. and "Sei Still Zu Gott," Lorenz. Solo parts were taken by Dr. William Hamm and Mr.

Louis H. Luhrsen. The evening voluntary, an arrangement of "The Lost Chord" by Sullivan, played by Mr. Scott, was followed by an anthem, "Seek Ye the Lord," Gibel. The closing anthem, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," had its solo parts carried by Miss Daisy Uhrig and Mr.

George Luhrsen. This is the first time the confirmation class has ever had an English division and it has proved a most satisfactory arrangement, as it is quite diffcult for some to learn the catechism in German. Next Sunday the entire class will be confirmed and some splendid musleds being rehearsed, as this will be made quite a feature of the services.

'The Ross county Executive Committee held a meeting Saturday in Judge George B. Bitzer's law office, for the purpose, ostensibly, of arranging to follow out the terms of the call for a judicial convention to select delegates to attend the Circuit Court Judicial Convention to be held at Portsmouth on April 9h. The meeting was presided over by Hon. Byron Lutz as chairman, and Judge Bitzer acted as secretary. After the call to order was made, the majority of the gentlemen present seemed to overlook the fact that they were meeting to arrange for the choice of delegates by the electors of the county, and arrogated to themselves this duty by their own votes.

The motion was made that a committoe be chosen to select the delegates and this motion was carried. The committee appointed by the chair was composed of Hon. Albert Douglas, the maker of the motion, Luther B. Yaple and Robert Manly. The committee deliberated for the required length of time and reported the following list of names 88 delegates to be sent to the convention at Portsmouth: L.

B. Yaple, Albert Douglas, W. H. Wiggins, Hilan K. Galbraith, George B.

Bitzer, W. A. Wallace, Wilby G. Hyde, Alexander Renick, John I'. Phillips and I.

M. Jordan. Alternates---James C. Quinn, H. Howard, D.

M. Massie, Robert Manly, Frank Redfern of Adelphi, Chas. R. Doll, J. C.

Entrekin, H. T. Robins, J. W. Goldsberry and A.

P. Minshall. The gentlemen representing the majority of the committee present then handed in a resolution that these delegates be instructed to cast their vote for Judge Sibley of Wash- ington county, in the coming convention. This was a little hit too raw even for any but the merest tyro at politics, and the resolution was withdrawn upon the advice of the more prudent and sagacious counsellors of the "resolntor." The meeting held on Saturday has no authority to select delegates, and any other set of delegates chosen under similar circumstances will have equal rights before the coming convention. The call issued by the Republican Judicial Committee of the District, directs that the ELECTORS of the several counties shall select delegates and in this instance the electors had not a chance to say a word.

The matter may be amended by holding a' mass convention and giving the electors an opportunity to have a ray and it may not. Those who wore in the majority at Saturday's meeting seem well satisfied with their action and the voters may do as they choose about it. Very probably, however, a mass convention will be held to either ratify or upset what was done at Saturday's meeting, according to the feelings of the voters. Most of the delegates chosen at. the above meeting are for Judge Hiram Sibley, of Marietta.

They are not instructed for him, but It is. known that a large majority of them are for him, and were chosen with that particular virtue in view as delegates. Now there are other candidates in Ge, district, among them Cyrus Newby of Highland county, Judge Bright of Hocking county, and R. S. Mauck of Gallia county.

These candidates should have an equal chance at representation before the judicial convention. IN THE SOCIAL WORLD. SOCIETY AT KINNIKINNICK. Mr. and Mrs.
