SACRED CONCERTS BY ELLEnY BAUD Famous Musical Organization Will Appear Twice Today. ONE CONCERT SATURDAY.
KO MATINEE BECAUSE OF SMALL CROWD ORGANIZATION ONE DF FINEST EVER VISITING RICHMOND. 'Its kind of hard talking to people srbo are scattered about Che building (a bunches like islands in the Pacific Ocean, but I want to say that I am glad the few of you who are here came," laughingly remarked Manager Channing Ellery, of the famous Ellery JJand last evening at the coliseum. He also stated that he was much gratified yesterday afternoon when, after he liad dismissed an audience of thirtytwo men, women and children because his musical organization was not used to playing to such sized crowds, Informed that fifteen hundred people had witnessed a wrestling match at the coliseum Wednesday night. "That Information more than ever made me Wish that my tendencies ran more to tnuscle than to music," he said, and the "select few" laughed heartily with him. Richmond people will have another opportunity of seeing the great Ellery band, which is without doubt the finest musical organization that has vis ited this city in several years, for Mr. Ellery has arranged to give two 'sa cred concerts today for the benefit of the Penny club, one this afternoon at 8 o'clock and one this evening at 8 O'clock. The programs for these two Concerts include splendid selections of acred and classical music and the music lovers of this city have treats in store for them. "I hare arranged to give the concert Sunday evening at 0 o'clock so that those people who attend church ser Tlces may attend the concert after church," said Mr. Ellery. "You may think it odd that I expect church peo ple to attend the concert but I do. hold that music played as the Lord in tended it should be played, is as good a religion as one may find." Richmond has long had the reputa tion of being the musical and art cen ter of Indiana, but this reputation re celved a black eye yesterday as the result of the cold reception tendered to one of the best known musical organi sations in the country. The program rendered last evening could not have been approved upon and the small crowd present was wildly enthusias tic.

MUSIC The following article written by Prof. Justin Leroy Harris, will be of interest to local musicians: Simple fact, mere knowledge is a body without a soul; Interesting enough from some points of view, but from the standpoint of real use and value almost nil. There is a meaning for every fact, a reason why it exists, and that might be called tbe soul of the fact. .It belongs to the imagination, the poetic or possibly the moral sense to discern this attribute, and when It is discerned the mind's horizons stretch into limitless space. It is the ability to see beyond the physical fact, Its meaning, its purpose, its part In the harmony of all things that is the finest fortune that can
Madame Spectator's Observations
BY CATHERINE ALLMAN.
The courtship of Miss Katherine Elkins and the Duke of the Abruzzi has attracted a great deal of attention; more notoriety, in fact, than the family pines for. It has been hinted that Pater Elkins looks askance at this foreign alliance, that, in fact, it is only because he is an indulgent and henpecked husband and father he has been brought to sanction the match. No doubt he takes a leaf out of the experiences of former brilliant International matches that have snuffed out only after singeing cruelty the wings ofur dear little American butterflies. ' While abroad Miss Elkins was prey to many fortune hunters, lmpercunlous nobles with titles for sale. She was fairly beseiged by one insignificant French count who followed her about refusing to be shaken off. Miss Elkins finally decided to put an end to the annoyance and suggested that he first run across the pond and "ask papa." The count, spry as a cock-sparrow, took the next steamer for America and arrived in this country with seventeen trunks.. He invaded the Elkins domain and requested an interview with the senator from West Virginia. He got it. The ardent suitor found himself facing a man as hard as flint; enough to make the dapper little Frenchman quail in his dainty boots, but he plunged volubly in. "M. Elkins, I, ze Count de , come to seek ze hand off your loaflee daughtair. Mile. Elkins. I, ze Count de , M. Elkins, have ze nobiliti, ze haute mode, ze titles, Monsieur, estates;' cumber-red et it true, but estates. I see Mam'selle. I adore. -I give them all, nobiliti, titles, estates, all " he made a grandiloquent gesture, "for ze exquisite hand of ze most char-r-ming lady. A-h-h!" Senator Elkins lacks the polish of a French noble. He glared at this Impertinent little cock-sparrow, then showed his teeth ominously. "You are too generous, M. Count de, de Frenchy," he snapped. "My daughter has informed me of your persistent annoyance. Now, I refuse you Miss Elkins' exquisite hand, as you put it, but I cordially promise you her father's uncultured boot If I find you prowling around her again. Good day."' .... What subtle chance has crent nver tba spirit of our fair Americana that
come to a man. It opens out to him j the beauty and wisdom of all things,! and with the thoughts thereby inspired, lifts his life to the appreciation and practice of truth. There is a di-1 vine expression in everything from a golden dawn to a suicide, but a man must open his heart to see it, and to see how every discorant note chords with the music of the spheres. This is the basic idea of education. It is the explanation of true art. We have heard pianists, old In the practice of it and full of the knowledge of the science of it, who could play like a whirlwind and never miss a note, "or drag, or 6peed ahead, but their music was not more inspiring than the clanging of a tin pan. We have heard vio-
' linists and even a contra-bassist who i were technically perfect, and they sawed, and sawed ripping out notes like a planing mill. But their music lacked soul. The player new saw a star, or a flower, or a sailing cloud; never felt the sigh of the west wind, or the touch of a loving hand; never heard the carol of a bird, or the rippling of sweet waters. Jeanette Durno is not a pianist she is an art-ist. Bruno Steindel. Hugo Kortschak, Hans Schroeder and Glenn Dillard Gunn are artists. They put a body of warm flesh and blood on ev ery skeleton note. One can shut his eyes and imagine he is keeping com pany with a lot of happy spirits. That is the office of art to raise the thoughts to higher contemplation. It is the meaning of all truth. The Art ist-Recital Series is not an entertain ment course. It is a recognition of that element in the civic body which has made Richmond known as a cen ter for culture. It has for its sup porters those who are continuously in the serious pursuit of truth and beauty. J . Several Important musicale events were held during the past week. Wednesday morning the Music Study club met in the Starr Piano parlors. The program for the occasion was ex ceptionally good. In the evening of the 6ame day the Keramic league ex hibit was opened with an informal re cital given under the a -ces of Prof. William Earhart. Fr I evening a musicale was given at first M. E. church by Miss Bessie E ,of Centervillc. Miss Maude Zimmerma ho is attending the Conservatory .. music in Chicago, is studying the pipe organ. Miss Zimmerman is one of the best known musicians of this city. Last season she had a large class of piano pupils. j j j A music program will be given this evening by the young people of the United Brethren church. The affair will begin promptly at seven-thirty o'clock. The public is cordially invited to attend. Creatore, who has decided to retire from the business of leading a band, will make one more tour ofhis country, under the management of Howard Pew, who has directed the past seven tours of the Italian band master. Mrs. Corinne Rider-Kelsey will make her New York reappearance with the New York Philharmonic orchestra November twenty-seventh and twentyeighth. This will be ner second appearance with New York's oldest and most distinguished musical society within two years, an honor which few American sopranos have been able to share. they have come to disport themselves in such scant garments as the sheath skirt? Is it possible that our modest once balked at the chaste habit back Modists inform us that petticoats are de trop this winter. Milady's coming will no longer be announced by a frou-frou of dainty silken skirts. Nor is the end in sight, as the boa-constric tor said of his tail. "I was sent to interview a great lady of fashion the other day," con fided a "woman's page" genius to me. "She is the daughter of a famous na val officer, now retired. 'She was just in from a round of calls and received me in her budoir, where she was shivering and sipping a hot whisky mmeta. preparatory to changing her gown for dinner. Her maid unhooked the dress she was wearing, a very near-empire chiffon broadcloth that seemed stuck on. It fell to the floor and she stood before me wearing a long suit-of-mail corset reaching nearly to her knees and silken hosiery. That was all. I strained my eyes to catch even a glimpse of filmy lingerie, a hint of baby-ribbon, but there was not even clue. "Is that all?" I gasped politely. "All?" she returned, with uplifted eye-brows, why, I can scarcely mov gracefully in that dress with these un dergarments. If worst comes to worst the well dressed woman will have to remove her outer cuticle." "But arn's you cold, clad in such scanty er-rainient? " 'Cold, of course I'm cold.' she said, sipping the hot toddy critically, 'but I expect all of us will be a good deal colder before the limit is reached. I am going to tell a story just as it was told to me. It is a good storv but it has no defect, which I shall point out when I have finished the tale: During the recent campaign there were attempts to make an issue of the religion of Mr. Taft. He was delured with letters demanding that he announce his faith, correspondence consigned. to the waist basket by intelligent clerks. Even the members of his family did not escape impertinent inquisition. One curious woman accosted the candidate's young daughter Miss Helen Tart. What are your father's religious convictions?" she demanded. "They say he is a Papist.. He ouzht to . rlarn himself to tho Vmtli"Itetoar la a Catholic," responded j

Miss Taft, "and my father is a Unatarian, but, "she added with a roggish gleam in her eyes, "I don't believe it works at all In me." The defect in the story is that it most certainly isn't true, as it has been officially announced that Mrs. Taft is not a member of the Catholic church. It seems a shame, though, to spoil so good a story for so unimportant a reason. BOW TO SOCIETY IN DECEMBER Debut Ball for Miss Ethel Roosevelt in Washington During Holidays. IS AN INTERESTING FIGURE. GLIMPSE AT CHARACTER OF THE GIRL GUEST LIST INCLUDES HUNDREDS OF CAPITAL'8 YOUNGER SET. Washington. Nov. ill. Undoubtedly the most interesting figure in the social life of the national capital this season is Miss Ethel Carow Roosevelt, second daughter of the president. Although just past her seventeenth birthday and in many ways still having the naivete of a genuine girl. Miss Roosevelt will make her bow to society, a thoroughly finished and attractive bud at a debut ball to be given at the white bouse during the Christmas holidays. While the formal announcement at the white house in October that Mr6. Roosevelt is to give a small dance on Monday ; evening. December 28. for Miss Roosevelt, did not contain the information, that this la to be the debut ball of the president's daughter, yet society is accepting this date as the probable time. An affair of this character at the executive mansion does not mean entirely what the term "small dance" ordinarily implies. The guest list includes several hundred, and it is wel understood that Miss Rooosevelt will have the entire younger set of Washington, with a number of out of town visitors from New York and other cities. The ball will be given in the east room. The Marine Band orchestra will furnish the music. The event will be followed by a series of smart functions, dinners, other dances, luncheons and everything of tbe kind that contributes to the happiness of the debutante's first season. Washington will long remember the brilliant social achievments of Miss Alice Roosevelt, beginning with her debut during the first term of her father's administration, and reaching the climax with her marriage to Mr. Nicholas Longworth an event of international interest. Few, if any, of tbe daughters of our presidents have enjoyed a social career of such prominence and brilliancy. Indeed, tt may be presumed that Mrs. Longworth will hold a place in the history of the social life of the executive mansion which has been so far without precedent. " - Q course Miss Roosevelt will be by nc mfa&s a total stranger to the social world. For the last two years the has been present at many of the state receptions in t u3 white bouse, and she was conspicuous as one of at tractive young girls at the wedding of ber older half sister, Mrs. Long- j
worth. Yet the contrast between Missj Ethel and Mrs. Long worth is most , striking, even to the cursory observ-i er. Modest and retiring to the verge of bashfulness, of the simplest tastes, j and enjoying keenly the most Inno-j cent pastimes a really "old fashion-, ed girl" in the good sense Missj Roosevelt, has as yet developed no real penchant for the white light of( social prominence. Like all young j women, though, who are to experience '-
the first delights and conquests of their initial season, she is anticipating with pleasurable excitement the events of the coming months at the white house. Becoming at once, as she will, a prominent and interesting figure in the eyes of the American public In general she is regarded without doubt as the most charming recent acquisition to Washington's younger set for her sweet personality. Miss Roosevelt holds the unique distinction of having spent more years in Just received a big line of

the white house than any young per son before her. Coming to Washing ton as a young girl she has grown to womanhood in these historic surroundings of the white and the national capital. Here, she has spent her school days, having had five years at the National Cathedral for Girls, where she was a recognized leader. In her junior year especially, and an officer in her class. During the past year she has continued her studies with private tutors at tbe white house. And here it proper to observe how strongly the artistic sense of Miss Roosevelt is developed. Rarely poetic and strongly imaginative, she is deep ly moved by the beautiful in arts ot which she is a sincere follower.
