RICHMOND ENJOYS NEW MUSICAL ERA It Will Be Ushered in With the Opening of the MayFestival Tomorrow.

With the opening of the May Festival tomorrow evening in the Coliseum, Richmond begins a new era in her musical history. The fact that this city is becoming known as the home of a Symphony orchestra and a well trained chorus, of many years standing and familiarity, has been emphasized frequently of late, and the further fact that this is recognized abroad, both by the lay and musical public, is complimentary to tire town's talents and activities. The chief significance, of the coming Festival, however, lies in its exposition and promotion of what is sometimes termed "local talent," of the musical material within its own gates. For in this way and this way alone does a community build a solid foundation of culture. "One of the things that has made Richmond conspicuous, in a musical way," said a leading citizen prominently identified with its musical interests, "is the fact that she gives her own people an opportunity to develop." "Any cross roads hamlet can have a music festival by importing orchestras and singers, but not another city of the size of Richmond in the United States is doing what we are and which will be demonstrated in the May festival. "The orchestra of about seventy pieces is made up of our best profes 5P v - 5 (i - V - .-J

sional talent and of our own boys and girls, the product of our public schools. "This fact alone should appeal to the local pride and public spirit of our citizens and those not attending the Festival give evidence of not having either of the above qualifications. "The festival is not asking Bupport on these grounds however, but in the fact that the program will be artistic and authoritative and musically as interesting as any given in greater centers. "Mr. Frederic K. Hicks, who will play the violin solo for the selebrated Beehoven concerto, with orchestra accompaniment, has done more to devel-

j op and encourage the playing of his instrument than any other one person and his appearance as the only instrumental soloist is looked forward to with interest. "As is the appearance of Mrs. Char ies H. Igelman, whose numbers in the first Symphony concert last winter aroused so much enthusiasm.Mrs. 1 gelman's duet with Mr. Miller, the celebrated tenor who will be one of the foreign soloists, to be one of the gems of the 'Hymn of Praise.' "Mrs. F. W. Krueger, one of the I greatest of the local favorites, will also appear in solo, and when consid eration is given the kindness of both these young women in consenting to take part, over and over again, In local musicaj affairs, their reception should be an enthusiastic one. "Mrs. Fred Bartel, another local vocalist who has done much for the encouragement of musical art in this city, will appear in a difficult part on the Faust night of the festival, and, altogether the participation of our local soloists will, we think, be one of the features of the concerts. "The fact that Mr. Earhart has accomplished the seemingly impossible musically in this city, should pack the Coliseum to the doors tomorrow evening and that this is appreciated is seen

THE SHORTEST SPEECH. It Was Delivered by Cassar and Con irted of a Single Ward. Julius Caesar holds the record tot brevity of convincing speech. The story is told that while Caesar was in the midst of his struggle for the mastery of the Roman empire the Boldiers of bis favorite Tenth legion mutinied. He appeared before them, and. uttering the one word "Qnlrites." paused. That word means, of course, "citizens," but to the veterans to whom It was addressed it meant a great deal more. It was the special term used in addressing Roman voters assembled in a purely civic capacity, not ay soldiers, but s civilians. To the mutinous soldiers It meant that the great commander, whom they had followed for ten long years from the Alps to the Thames and from the Rhine to the Pyrenees and across the Rubicon, disowned them as soldiers and dismissed them from bis victorious service. Realizing its meaning, the story goes, the mutineers were appalled. Battle scarred veterans burst into tears. Implored their leader to pardon tbem and Inflicted summary punishment upon the inciters of the mutiny as a proof of their repentance. We must laugh lefore we are happy or else we may die before we ever laugh at all. La Bruyere.

A TOMB IN TOKYO. Lack In Chips From the Headstone Qnr a Famous Thief. Behind the temple sacred to the nameless dead and close to the wrestling amphitheater in Tokyo there is to be found the grave of the celebrated robber Nesnml Kozo, who stole from the dalmlos long ago in the old Teddo days that he might relieve the sufferings of the poor. There Is a superstition connected with this grave which has made it a much frequented spot. If a portion of the headstone is carried away it acts as a lucky talisman, particularly to those who speculate or are otherwise engaged in games of chance. It is usu. al for a person breaking a piece from the stone to make a vow that in case he is successful he will buy a new headstone to replace the one he has mutilated. Many prayers must have been answered, for the stones are piled

high on either side of the grave, and an enterprising Individual near by has the stones already for sale and only waiting the name of the donor to be engraved and then set up. A shelter has been placed over the spot, and from the roof hang gray lanterns and pilgrims banners. A large money box .catches all the stray sen which go for the upkeeplng of the grave. , Gamblers and geisha are often visitors. Students before their examinations feel more assured of success if they have a chip of Neruml Kozo's headstone in the sleeve of their kimono. Argonaut. Indaod Not.
