MUSICAL CLUB'S NEXT BE GITAL

WILL OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 2. MISS EUNICE TRACY Has Charge of the Program Mr. Jose Marien, Violinist, Will Be Here. On next Wednesday evening, March 2d occurs the next recital of the Musical club, with Miss Eunice Tracy in charge of the program. Miss Tracey has been exceptionally fortunate in securing the co-operation of Mr. Jose Marien, violinist, of Cincinnati, and will present a program of unusual interest. To interpret the violin classics such as Bach and Beethoven, sonatas and concertos, is required a great artist, for in them Ave do not find opportunity to display the trickery and witchery of the bow, which often dazgles the public. There must be power, masterly and soul to convey the feelings and ideas of the composer to his audience. Popular opinion Iiolds that Cincinnati possesses such an interpreter in the great violin virtuoso, Jose Marien. Besides being a soloist of very great ability, Mr. Marien is also concert master of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra, lie will be accompanied by Mrs. Adolph Klein, who is an enthusiastic member of the musical section of the Cincinnati Woman's club and is noted for her zeal in art matters generally. Those will miss much who allow this opportunity to pass. The program to be given has been announced as follows: 1. (a) Autumn Lullaby Ilawley. (b) Rich or Poor Berger. Mrs. Guy McCabe, Mrs. Charles Neal, Mr. Griffith Ellis and Mr. Otto Krone. 2. (a) Warum Schumann, (b) Grillen Schumann. Miss Tracy. X Sonata No. 5 in F. Major Beethoven. (a) Allegro non tanto. (c) Scherzo Allegro molto. (b) Adagio molto expressive, (d) Rondo. Allegro ma non trappo. Mrs. Klein and Mr. Marien. 4. (a) Romanze Schumann, (b) Polonaise Op. 26 No. 1 Chopin. Mrs. IT. Milton El rode. f. (a) Romanza Svendsen. 00 Dance Tzigane Nachez. Mr. Marien. 0. Grand Valse in A-flat Major Chopin. Miss Tray. MHSCHOOL Entertainment of Athletic Association on April 1st. A meeting has been held of the committee having charge of the entertainment to be given by the Richmond High School Athletic Association on April 1st. On account of the superior excellence of the Junior and Senior Publics which have been given this year, it was decided to have the entertainment composed of the best parts of each of these. Many persons were unable to attend the publics and wish to see them, or at least parts of them, and for this reason it was thought expedient to repeat at least portions of both of these fine publics, together with many additional features. What these features will be is not definitely decided as yet but they will probably be in connection with All-Fools day. The program will consist of Poor Pillicoddy," the Senior play the "Fools Dance." the hit of the Junior Public, and scenes from the "Hivals" as given in the Junior public. The entertainment will bo given in the high sehool hall and the proceeds will go to swell the treasury of the Athletic association which has been depleted my the failures of the most of the athietic teams to make financial successes. All of

the boys concerned are anxious to make the affair a success and will give it hearty support. Will Reller, Colin -Schaefer, Charles Ward, Fred Gennett and George Rettig compose the committee in charge of the proposed entertainment.

The girls' basketball team of the local high school played the first game of the schedule at Franklin, Ind., last night against the Franklin high school team. Line-up of Richmond.

ONLY ONE PERSON INJURED West Richmond and Fairview Cars .Meet on a Curve. Last night about 10:50 o'clock a Fairview car, headed toward Main street, and a West Richmond car, going north on north fifth street, came together with sufficient force to splinter the platform of the West Richmond car. There were several persons on the West Richmond car. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gates were on the car and Mrs. Gates was badly frightened. Another lady, whose name we did not learn, was considerably shaken up on account of being thrown against the door of the car. The Fairview car was not damaged to any great extent, and passengers on the wrecked car were transferred to it. This is a very bad corner, and motormen ought to be very careful in rounding it. Some one was surely careless in this case. Is Now at Home Resting Easy and Will Recover Fully. Dr. J. M. Thurston, who was stricken with paralysis a short time ago while delivering a medical lecture at Indianapolis, has been brought home. Tltis morning he was resting easily at his home on north eighth street; his mind is lucid and clear, and he is able to talk freely and to understand and hear all that is said to him. lie is confined to his room and it will probably be several months before he will be able to give any attention to his practice. The latest reports state that he is improving nicely and is better by far than he has been since his attack. His large circle of friends hope for a speedy recovery. C. I. Of the Columbus, Greensburg Richmond Traction Co. & Mr. C. N. Wilson, general manager of the Columbus, Greensburg & Richmond Traction Co., who spent some time in this city for the past day or so, is not only a railroad man of the first class but one of the most genial and affable of gentlemen. Honesty and fairness in all his dealings with the people, has won for him the respect of all with whom j he does business. His rule is to be j frank with every one and you will not only win their respect but also their confidence. A few more Wilsons and the world would be better off.

OFFER

APPRECIATED BY THE SOUTH SIDE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AND OUR CITIZENS GENERALLY The County Commissioners WiU Likely be Generous Also. The interest manifested by the residents of the south end has greatly increased since the learning of the exceedingly generous offer of the C, G. & R. Traction company. As stated in last night's Palladium, the C, G. & R. Traction company has offered to stand one-fifth of the cost if the bridge costs - $100,000. This is far more than most of the south side residents expected, and, naturaly, when they learned of the liberal offer of the traction company, through the Palladium, all thought that now a more expensive bridge could be built than was at first anticipated. In a few days, the exact date can not be determined, the audience of South Side Improvement association, together with the city council, with the county commissioners, will take dace. It is probable that when the commissioners learn of the offer of the C, G. and R. that they will be willing to make a lai-ger appropriation for the bridge than they first intended. The residents of Richmond are aivaiting this 'meeting with a great deal of interest, as all hope that now the commissioners will make a large enough appropriation so that a bridge can be built much finer than the one proposed. It is not definitely known exactly what amount the conn - ty commissioners will set aside for this purpose, but it is believed that the amount will be larger than was at first expected. So the residents ofi the portion of Richmond particularly affected by the building of the new bridge hope and confidently expect expect that at the proposed meeting of the South Side Improvement association and commissioners it will be decided to build a large cement bridge which will be strong and durable enough to stand for a long time, unmindful of the added expense. 1. 0. 0.

TRIP OF FRANCIS -TO RICHMOND

THE FINE HOLLAND SLEEPER AND ITS DISTINGUISHED OCCUPANTS VIEWED BY RICHMONDITES Arrived Here parted at at 2 p. 4 p. m.m. and De--Descrip tion of the Car. The Holland palace ctir about which so much has been said, arrived here yesterday afternoon on schedule time 2 o'clock. The car left Indianapolis in the morning, hav ing on board the following distin guished people: Amos K. Hollowell, president of the Indiana Lumber and Veneer com pany, of Indianapolis. Harris F. Holland, president of the Holland Palace Car company, of Indianapolis. August M. Kuhn, president of the Consolidated Coal and Lime company, Indianapolis. Milton O. Reeves, president of the Peoples Savings and Trust company, of Indianapolis. William P. M.yer, director of the New Castle Bridge company, of Indianapolis. Besides these were the conductor, motorman and porters. On arrival at Cambridge City the party repaired to the Vinton house, and, together with the fifteen or twenty people who went from this city, were banqueted in great style at the expense of the C, G. & R. traction people. General Manager C. N. Wilson was in evidence everywhere and saw to it I that everyone was comfortable. The Palace Car Is one of the finest cars ever made and is a model of convenience and comfort. It bears the name "Fran cis, When the Holland car was constructed the president of the company had in mind the great comfort of the traveling public. The apartments for sleepers are made for individuals ,and there is more room than in the ordinary sleepers, and there is room for dressing, which is not enjoyed in railroad sleepers. Then, when the berths are slowed away, a nice little room is arranged for the comfort of two persons. This room is provided with two highlj" upholstered chairs and a table on which meals can be eaten, cards played, etc. Each apartment is lighted with electricity and can be made as bright as day. Toilet rooms for ladies and gentlemen are on the car; in fact, everything that the heart could wish. The Power. One of the surprises to the average reader is the fact that the power is GOO-horse, geared to ninety miles an hour, and can make that time if the mill can furnish the "juice." The car was so large that it could not make the turn on the west side switch and had to back to Cambridge City. A great number of people visited the car while it stood on the siding in West Richmond and only words of praise were heard. EARLHAM GIRLS' SOPHOMORE PUBLIC. The meeting of the Phoenix society at Earlham college list evening was in charge of the Sophomore girls, who gave a very interesting program. Upon invitation being sent to the Ionian society to attend that society adjourned. The program opened with a piano solo by Miss Jennie Lindley, after which was a short play, representing a girl's room at Tudor Hall. Miss Bartlett and Miss . Johnson were found seated. They complained of 1i,e way they had to grind in school and do "without pleasures, when a troop of girls entered and they spent t lie evening making "a dish of rarehit A second act was "The Reception

of Dr. Divine," who comes to the college to vaccinate the girls because of smallpox in the vicinity, and whom the girls imagine to be a handsome young man. It is leap year, and they are all dressed to win the doctor, when in steps a woman phjsician. The young ladies end the scene by fainting with disappointment. Following these clever little plays was a piano solo by Miss Grace Humerichans, and, closing the program, was a chorus of eight, who gave a number of popular ' melodies in a comical manner. The girls' Sophomore public is an annual affair and each class attempts to make its entertainment better'than the previous one. The young ladies who participated in last evening's program, succeeded in at least Hearing this ideal.
