MUSICAL NOTES. A choir under the direction of Miss Laura Gaston will participate in the ceremony at the Shivery-Elmer wedding Wednesday evening, at the St. Paul's Episcopal church. 4 As soon as the season closes at the Metropolitan opera house, New York, Mme. Semrich will come west for a few engagements. Some time ago it

was suggested that the May festival association might increase its scope of J work by securing some of the leading I concert stars for Richmond. If such I

an effort is made one of the first cele

brities that could be justifiably con

sidered is this favorite prima donna.

Mr. Towne, -a tenor who appeared

here at one of the Majr festivals and sang with credit, is filling some good engagements in the East this winter.

4 4 Miss Clara Clemens, daughter of Mark Twain, who has gained some prominence as a contralto, is forced to enjoy some of the notoriety of her famous father, as she is spoken of as "Miss Twain" more frequently than by her real name. Prof. Jesse Wrood, director of the

choir at the Fifth Street M. E. church will render a cantata during the holidays, "The Holy Child," by the composer of "The Crusaders," a number that was given by the May Festival chorus during one of the previous seasons. Signor Caruso has been engaged to sing at the Imperial opera house, Vienna, for four evenings. He will receive $2,500 for each performance. 4, $ $i One of the famous orchestras that has been considered by the management of the May Festival association, is the Damrosch, of New York, the prohibitive price of this attraction being the only obstacle. The New York Symphony is to come West for fourteen engagements this winter and this organization might be Induced to play Richmond at the May Festival next spring. While it is a higher priced attraction than the Thomas orchestra, under the circumstances. Damrosch might be secured for the Bame consideration. They begin their western engagements at Cleveland. January 2. The tour is transcontinental and the principal cities of the Middle West and the Pacific coast will be visited. Over forty appearances are already booked. On Monday evening?" Oct. 2Sth. Paderewskl will open his American tour at Bridgeport. Conn., and during the month of November he will fill fifteen

engagements. There is little doubt but that at each of these, as during previous years, the public will insist that he conclude his program with his famous little minuet, which has been thumped out on pianos and ground out on hurdy-gurdies from one end of the world to the other. The public reverts to this little composition in Mozartean style in much the same manner that Modjeska is known for her Macbeth. It is said that Paderewski composed it in a state of jest to prove to a friend that Mozart could be imitated. It is also said that paderewski long ago became disgusted because the public will many times sit Immovable through some of his finest exhibitions and then go into ecstasy over this minuet. His manager 4 said to have already received scores of letters from the cities where Paderewski is to play, this winter, requesting: this n""br on his program-

People of this city who are musically inclined have a treat in store for them in the Fanning-Turpin concert which will be given in this city on October 22 and October 29. Mr. Fanning is a young man, making his home at Columbus, O., and today he is con sidered one of the finest baritone singers in the United States. Harry Brown Turpin will be Mr. Fanning's accompanist. To Mr. Turpin the credit of developing Mr. Fanning's wonderful baritone voice is due. Mr. Cecil Fanning was born in the year 1883, at Columbus, Ohio. From his Irish parentage he inherited a temperament which enables him to appreciate all the pathos and humor in Poetry and Music. Gifted with a voice of rare beauty, which he has under absolute control, his variety and color of tone make it possible for him to express every shade of thought and feeling. To this is added an unusual knowledge of language and literature. His repertoire is most extensive, singing from memory hundreds of compositions, which embrace the best of German, 'Italian, Fronch and English songs. From his first hearing, Mr. Fanning's appearances have been a series of triumphs, and in no city where he has sung has he failed to Immediately secure return engagements;

and at each reappearance he is received with greater enthusiasm. Within one season he has taken rank among our American concert singers, and the press and public have accorded the highest praise. At all of his recitals, Mr. Fanning Is accompanied by Mr. Harry Brown Turpin, the well-known voice-placer. Mr. Turpin's musicianly accompaniments and the mutual understanding between the singer and the accompanist, are distinct features of these recitals. Mr. Fanning and Mr. Turpin have prepared for the season of 1907-190S two lecture-song recital programs of unusual interest which contain a number of compositions never before heard in America. They also have the exclusive right to present Mr. Henry T. FInck's scholarly analysis of the Schubert and Lewe Songs. Mr. Fanning last season made a trt umphal tour of the country and the musical critics everywhere he appeared were loud in their praises and predicted a wonderful future for this gifted young singer. The two recitals Mr. Fanning will give here are sure to attract all lovers of good music. These recitals are given under the auspices of St. Agnes guild of St.

Paul's Episcopal church.

The Jfoonday Of Life. Married people should learn what to do for cm another's little ills, and for the ills of tho children that may come.

proud to show, but of little interest to me compared to the old places I had known and loved as a boy. I made up my mind then, that if ever opportunity offered, I would visit Richmond without letting relatives or friends know of it until I had visited all the old places so cherished in memory. The way opened for me and my wife, who was as anxious as I to see the places I had extolled for so many years, to stop there two beautiful days late in last month. My first act after breakfast was to engage a horse and easy phaeton for two days. I headed first for South Front street to see the house where I was born and my grandfather's house, still standing and evi

dently in good repair and good for

many years yet. It was like losing old friends to find that "Broadway", "Sycamore," "Sassafras," "Noble," etc. streets had, taken letters of the alphabet to designate them, and old Fifth street was now Eighth, pushing all of the Eastern parallel streets up three pegs. i WTell do I remember the first street cars in Richmond; high affairs with foot boards on either side the entire length of the car and drawn by horse power. They started at the depot and ran south on old Fifth street and east on Main street to the row fair grounds east of the city, the old fair grounds south of town having been abandoned. After driving up one street and down the other showing to my wife the one time homes of so many of our . friends, we headed for the outlying districts on the various "pikes." We , went to the orphanage southeast of town, which went at one time bv the name of the "Water Cure," and earlier by "Green Mount Seminary," where my father and mother attended school and upon the steps of which my father "proposed" and was "accepted." We visited Earlham college grounds, and Earlham cemetery where I found my grandfather's and grandmother's gra-; ves as well as those of other relatives. J We journeyed north on old Ninth j street, out the Hillsboro pike, past Hill's mill and the junction of the Hillsboro and New Paris pikes where Daniel and Lydia Kitzelman used to , keep the toll gate, on up the pike to find the farmer for whom I worked during the summer of '74. The old farm and house looked familiar but the owner said my farmer had never lived there, which, of course, I knew j better, as I knew, I could find my bed-1 room in the dark. However, I found i

my man two farms further up the road where he had moved twenty-five years ago, which accounted for the recent owner of the old farm being so posi

tive. I was delighted to find my old , time friend at home and more than I delighted to find that he remembered j me and things I did when living with ! him. My pleasure was mixed with I sorrow to find the dear wife had pass-' ed away several years ago, and I had so built up on talking over old times with them both. Returning to town past "Morgan's ; Grove" and one of our old homes, the "Bluffs," all looking familiar still, we next went out the Chester pike, past the new hospital and across by Thistlethwaite's pond to West Richmond, passing the old Starr place, and so back to town and then out to Glen Miller, a beautiful park, one to be proud of. The native beech and sycamore trees were a delight to my wife as well as to me, she never having seen either, and I hungering for both. I am trying to arrange for a shipment ! of a couple of young trees of each that j I may transplant them at my home. I What an army would be made by all! the boys who have carved their own'
