NOTED

PIANIST

To Play in Starr Piano Booth at the World's Fair. ,Miss Theodora Sturkow, the Chicago pianist, has been engaged by the Starr Piano company to play and conduct a series of recitals in the Indiana state building at the St. Louis World's Fair during the coming summer. These recitals will be given several times a week and while several of the other soloists will be residents of Indiana the program will not be made up exclusively of musicians of this state. Miss Sturkow, who has devoted much of her time to the study of Russian music, particularly the works of the present day composers, is herself of Russian extraction. Her father was a well known violinist of that country before coming to Chicago to j engage in business. The daughter has played in many of the cities of

ef-jthe country and is one of the best

known of those making Russian compositions their specialty. She will assume her duties on June 1. . F. ELECTED SECT. AT THE STATE CONVENTION KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AT WAYNE, YESTERDAY. Prof. John G.

OPENING

NIGHT

THE MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL AN ASSURED SUCCESS. A FINE ENTERTAINMENT Given the Large Audience Last Night Program Carried Out. That much-talked of event, the May Musical Festival that in which all the music-loving people of Richmond are interested in is now a stern reality and the program rendered at the Coliseum last night was one of the finest ever heard in this city, noted, as it is, for its attainments in music. The large audience of about 1,500 persons were almost breathless when the opening number began Overture, Der Freischutz, by C. M. von Weber. The overture opens with a beautiful adagio melody for horns, and is remarkable for its descriptive power and wonderful instrumentation, and contains the entire action and music of the opera in epitome, before the opera was composed. The second number was by Mr. Marcosson, who was here last June during the meeting of the Indiana music teachers' association, and who so favorably impressed our people. Two scenes from ' Tannhauser, " (Wagner), were splendidly rendered by Miss Abigail Harris, Mr. Braffett and the male chorus and orchestra. It was a production of great merit and was well received. Mr. Braffett sang in usuai pleasing wav, and Miss 'Harris. ns usual, delifhtpd thp. an.! dience. One of the most pleasing numbers was C. Villiers Stanford's "Irish Rhapsody No. 1," by the orchestra. The author was born in Dublin, Ireland, in S52, and had a great musical training. The selection received merited applause. The next number was von Weber's Recitative and Walder," and Aria, "Der "Dutch der Freischutz," sun"- uy lur. no ivrone.iur. xvrone s i i nr.. nn - Tr -r trsplendid voice was here shown to good advantage. His voice is clear, sweet and pleasing and the rendition was heartily encored. A short intermission was next had before taking up part two of the projgram. j Part 2, consisted of "Hiawatha's (Wedding Feast," (S. Coleridge-Tay lor) by Mr. Towne and chorus. This was surely a master production. Longfellow's words are followed literally. The composer is well endowed with the divine gift of melody, which wras clearly shown in the beautiful chorus descriptive of Pan-Puk-Keewis and the beautiful tenor solo, "Onaway, Awake, Beloved." This piece, which was so admirably rendered by Mr. Towne and chorus, closed the first night's performance. The floral decorations were furnished by the E. G. Hill company and each member of the chorus was presented with a carnation. The mati nee this afternoon was argely attended. Tonight's Program.

WITHIN THE CORPORATION LINES, SAYS A RECENT OFFICIAL PENNA. ) ORDER. TRAINS GO TOO FAST. ;.' ? "-. I - And Many Complaints. Have Been Received Attitude of Engin eersDanger of Acci dent.. The Pennsylvania trains which pass through Richmond must hereafter strictly obey the order which prohibits a speed of more than eight miles an hour within the corporation limits, says an official order recently posted. This order is in response to the numerous complaints which have been received with growing frequency lately from residents along the tracks and "fight of way of the P., C, C. & St. L. and G. R. & I. railroads. Despite the fact that there is a standing order limiting the speed of trains to eight miles an hour while within the corporation limits, the engineers of late have been bringing the trains in at fearful speed, keeping up this speed sometimes until well in the Union Station, and this fast, running has caused numerous persons living in the north end of town to complain, fearing that some accident would result by reason of the high speed. The engineers show a very deplorable attitude toward the officials who have from time to time warned them against the useless exceding of the speed limit, and their attitude close ly tends towards an actual act of provocation to anger of the officials, warnings have been repeatedly disregarded. The recent order to the engineers to not exceed the speed lim it will do away with the high speed j of the trains and lessen the chances j 0f a bad accident. TERBILL CAME THE BLUFFTON MURDERER ARRIVED VIA G. R. & I. AND V TAKEN TO EASTHAVEN GENERAL APPEARANCELimbs Are Helpless The Fourth Inquest Commission Rendered a Verdict of Insanity. John Terrell, the Bluffton murderer who has been adjudged insane by a commission appointed for the purpose of deciding as to his mental condition, and whose ease has attracted great attention in the newspapers, was brought to this city this morning from Bluff ton over the G. R. & I. railroad and taken to the. Eastern Indiana Hospital for the In sane. Although Easthaven is in a very crowded condition, a place will be made for Terrell, since the case is one of emergency. Terrell was accompanied by two men who supported him on either side, as his limbs seem to be useless, the men having to lift up his feet when he entered the cab and to push his feet from under him when descending from the train. Terrell is an .old man, with a great thatch of white hair, gray beard and bowed shoulders. His eyes have a vacant stare and he keeps them fastened on the ground in a piteous manner. Much sympathy was expressed for him by those wTho saw him, and the general opinion is that he" is" not insane and should be set free, rather than, incarcerated in an insane asylum, since most people think that the .-provocation extended to hirri. frrinx Melvin Wolfe, whom he murdered i m 1903, was too much v for

THIS MORNING

any one.

The fourth inquest to decide his men tal condition was held Tuesday afternoon, and the verdict of the men composing the inquest commission was that Terrell was insane. A very critical examination was made because of the importance of the case and the verdict should, be regarded as final. While Terrell has white hair, a spot of black hair was found at the back of his head, where the scalp was evidently sensitive, a slight tap evidently causing great pain. It was ascertained that he hadytwice received injuries from falls on this spot. In no other portion of his body was there a well developed sense of feeling. A later report from Easthaven says that Terrell has been confined in a cell and that he has not changed his apathetic condition. VERY AMUSING! Was the Greeting Between Two Women at the C, C. & L. Station Yesterday. An amusing incident was witnessed at the C, C. & L. station yesterday at which not even the solemnest could have looked and refrained from smiling then and taking a good laugh afterward. A short, stoat woman appeared on the platform at the time when a train pulled in. but on the opposite end of the station to that at which the train stopped. A second short, stout woman, almost a double of the first, descended from the train and with a blank look, stared around, evidently expecting some one. At the same moment these two caught sight of each other and immediately start ed for each other with a sheepish, half-concealed grin on their faces. As the distance between them decreased, in exact proportion did the grin increase and the sight of the two, each smiling in such a queer way, was too much for the persons on the platform. Nearly all turned aside to hide their smiles. When the twain were within about ten feet of each other, "Ooh," said one, and "Ooh" said the other, and increasing the walk to almost a run, they rushed into each other's arms. The usual greetings were exchanged and as the two left ithe station the grin on the faces of the bystanders increased until it broke into a loud "ha-ha." HARBY DAVIS Of Williamsburg, Sued for Seduction. Hon. H. U. Johnson and T. J. Study filed the suit of Bertha Tharp vs. Harry Davis, for seduction. Demand, $5,000. Abraham Tharp sues the same party for seduction of his daughter.
