I DECREASE F

IICHUE III RATE There Is Just as Much Telephoning at Night as Under Old Arrangement.

REPORTS FOR A MONTH.

AAS EXPECTED THAT WHEN THE RATES WERE MADE UNIFORM BULK OF BUSINESS WOULD IHIFT TO DAY.

Monthly reports Issued by the local cog distance telephone companies, particularly the Central Union, for the month of September, show that there Has been no decrease in the number of alght messages sent since an increase was made in the night toll rates. Septetnber 1, the Central Union company all over the country made the night rate the same as the day rate. It was thoueht by this move that business

would grow lighter at night and heavier during the day. The report from this company, howerer, shows that al-

iough the day business transacted Is

heavier, the night messages have not decreased. The company found through experience that the business men used the lines through the day to arrange for tha night calls. No charges are mad when a party is called and a time set for talking. Jobbers formerly notified merchants In a town to be at the office In the evening and then they would talk to them at reduced rates. To end this practice- the night rat was boosted. There la no decrease In the night business, for as In the past, the lines are not so busy and better service is generally gained. Local business men realize the act and Btlll cling to the practice of using the phone at night. The present night rat will b continued here. It has been found that a great part of the telephoning done at night is done by commercial travelers coming into Richmond, who telephone to prospective customers.

IDicI it ever occur to you that the stove or range on which your food 13 cooked, or the heating t-tove which warms your home during the cold months, is a very important part of the household, and that a poor cooking or heating apparatus causes much trouble and unhapplness, while a good one is a home blessing? We all have our troubles, but the poor housewife or cook who has to put up with an unsatisfactory stove or range has more than her share. Perhaps the old stove is good enough for some time to come, but there are improvements in all manufactured articles, and you would probably be surprised to see the conveniences combined in "GARLAND" Stoves and Ranges, as compared with, the stoves of years ago.

707 MAIN ST.

Considerable interest is being manifested in the possibility of Richmond having a May festival again next spring. As yet no definite plans have been made. A project that involves a guarantee of approximately $5,000 on the part of local business men, rightly demands careful consideration before it is launched, especially so, when a deficit is possible to embarrass the management. This 13 the proposition that confronts the promoters. If a

! plan can be devised to obviate any

j shortage, the same men who devoted their time to the May festival during j previous years, have expressed a willingness to again back the enterprise.

Richmond people are musical. They appreciate the art. Consequently the musical interests should be catered to, if the festival can be placed on a selfsustaining basis. Relative to the festival for next year Prof. Will Earhart recently stated that he is willing to assume the directorship again and do all he can for its success providing a chorus can be assured and the commercial side provided for, but

I that he does not care to devote night ; after night to rehearsals with a con

stantly shifting chorus and the menace of financial failure. Miss Laura Gaston is arranging to present "The Holy City," by Gaul, with an augmented choir in the near future. It is a cantata that affords excellent opportunity for solo as well as chorus work. Prof. Fritz Krull, vocal teacher, has met with unusual success In organizing a class for vocal work in this city, embracing as it does, some of the best singers of Richmond. Prof. Krull has gained considerable prominence as a vocal teacher and soloist, both in this country and abroad. Prof. Justin Leroy Harris has reorganized the choir at the First M. E. church and hopes to make it one of the best in the city. The song-lecture recital that Is to be given here by the Turpin-Fanning combination, will be one of the real musical treats, from an artistic view point, of the season. In almost an ln-

j creditably short time young Fanning

has sprung from obscurity to the very front ranks of American recitalists.

He is said to possess a baritone voice of surpassing beauty. j Much credit should be accorded the J Richmond City band for its enterprise 1 during the past summer In furnishing ! pleasing music at Glen Miller. Judg

ing from the crowds that congregated every Sunday in the park, their programs were popular. Richmond should have a similar plan next year. The first recital under the auspices of the Musical Study club promises to be a most auspicious opening of the season's work. The members and a few Invited guests will listen to a recital by Prof. Fritz Krull of Indianapolis. The meeting will be Tuesday evening in the Starr piano rooms. Prof. Earhart is arranging to have some of his own compositions publish

ed this winter by one of the leading music publishing houses in the East. The palm for being the most beautiful woman on the operatic stage is said to belong to Mmo. Eleanore de CIsneros, who dazzled Manhattan opera house patrons last season with a mezza voice of unusual brilliancy and a face and figure that set the susceptible critics Into highly colored rapsodieB. The prima donna will tour the Middle West this season under the direction of Loudon Charlton. She is the wife of a Cuban journalist of tftle. Her chief ability lies in Italian opera, and for two successive seasons she starred in Italian roles at the Metropolitan, New York. The Dayton Journal has this to say about the Turpin-Fanning music recitals: Dayton music lovers again filled the W. C. A. auditorium with an enthusiastic audience last ni,sht, when Mr. Harry Turpin and Mr. Cecil Fanning presented their second song recital. The program on Monday night was in a degree more classical than th first one presented, but with two such artists in command, every number was made enjoyable and interesting to the highest degree. Such programs as have been arranged by Mr. Turpin are distinctly educationat in their Influence and as such are deserving of sincerist recognition from the musical public. In the rendition of his numbers last evening, Mr. Fanning surpassed himself, adding an exceptionally brilliant triumph to the long list of memorable successes he has won here and elsewhere. There is a dominating mental force in his work that stamps with sincere emphasis every phase of his deliniation. He appears to embody the salient features of his songs, and every shade of emotion is reflected In the lines of his expressive face. Seldom is It true that body, mind and soul work so in unison in an artist, and to this unity of power Is due his remarkable success. Mr. Turpin and Mr. Fanning will appear here In recital work on the evenings of Oct. 21 and 28th, at the Pythian temple under the auspices of the St. Agnes Guild, of St. Paul's Episcopal church. An interesting program has been arranged by Prof. Fritz Krull for his recital before the Musical Study club Tuesday evening. Prof. Krull, who Is associated in the musical college at Indianapolis with Mr. Oliver Willard Pierce, has established for himself a reputation both as a concert singer

and as a composer.

j Krull's reputation lies in his suc

cessful setting of several of James Whitcomb Riley's poems to music, and this has gained for him the title of "Hoosier Tone Poet." A number of these settings will be given at the recital. The program follows: 1. Loewe. a. Archibald Douglas. b. Edward. 2. Strauss Morgan. Wolf "Verborgenheif Kaun "WaldsellgkeltStrauss "Zueignung. 3. "The Jolly Miller. "Dearth. "The Raggedy Man." 4. "April Garden." "When the

Land was WThite with Moonlight." 5. Nevin. vDeep In a Rose's Glowing Heart. "Serenade," "Mighty Lak a Rose."
