SELLARS DRAWS LARGE CROWDS TO 2 RECITALS Varied Program Appeals to Many Persons ' Attending
Free Concerts at First
Presbyterian Church.
Gatty Sellars, the well known English organist," who has made a previous tour of this country, gave three recitals, free. to. the public, in the First
Presbyterian church Saturday evening, Sunday afternoon and" evening.
Mr. Sellars knows how to please those mixed audiences which naturally are found at concerts open to the public since many non-musical people make un a large cart of those attend
ing, so he includes In his repertory for such occasions compositions- of a certain popular character, as well as those masterpieces of musical art written or arranged for the greatest of all instruments. "Popular." however, is not used In its ordinary acceptation, since this organist, when appearing in churches, will not include , what is termed this class of music in his program. Pleases Popular Mind. But he plays "descriptive" pieces which frequently include, as did his program here, storms at sea, rural festivals interrupted by storms and compositions. of that sort which appeal to teh lay mind. These pieces Sellars plays with great effect., one of the best being Rubenstein's "The Russian Patrol." His interpretation of such musical works as Mendelssohn's Fourth Sonata, presented Saturday evening, and the same composer's First Sonata, both written for the organ, was more interesting artistically, as were the Guilmant March on a theme of Handel, on Sunday evening, and Bach's Fugue in G Minor. Draws Larae Crowd. "The Tiie-rim-K Chorus" from Tann-
hauser. ' and the "March." from .the same Wagnerian composition, given Sunday afternoon and evening, and the Klear "March" Saturday evening, were
three numbers peculiarly effective on
this instrument and several 01 iur. cellars' own compositions, anione the latter "Fancies" and "At Twilight," were charming in lyric quality. The recitals were, altogether, enjoyable and interesting musically and were largely attended. NOTICE. The annual meeting of the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church will be held in the church parlors on Thursday evening March 11, at 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of electing five Trustees. E.

AUTO BEE STINGS RURAL CARRIERS
Richmond post office probably will have the greatest per cent of automobile deliveries in the state next spring as the automobile bee has circulated among the carriers and a number of them announced they will purchase small machines soon. There are. nbw three carriers who use automobiles for delivery on rural routes. These carriers are envied by the carriers using wagon delivery. There is a provision in the post office appropriations bill in congress which is of interest to the local office. This gives Postmaster General Burleson power to combine rural routes and give them to carriers using machines, paying $1,800 instead of $1,200 a year.
There are two or three routes out of the Richmond office which could be
combined with others, Superintendent
of Mails Handley said today. The bill
has passed the house and is ready for
senate.

Indication are that the city councilmen will stand pat on their determination to put through all permanent street improvements referred to that
body for final decision by the board of public works. The possibilities are that the greater part of the improvements initiated by the board will be referred to council as there are big remonstrances already filed or being prepared for every street paving project, except the one in Reeveston, now pending. Hears Paving Dispute. Tonight council will receive the North A street paving project. This
was successfully remonstrated out of the jurisdiction of the board but was referred to council by a vote of two to one. Council will not have the opportunity to act on the resolutions providing for the paving of Ninth street from South A to Main, and North A to North E, and for the paving of North Sixteenth street from Main to North F. Both cf these resolutions were rescinded by the board, except that part of Ninth fetreet from Main to North A was ordered paved. It will not be surprising if the paving of North A street is ordered by council by an unanimous vote.

day morning, the women had charge of the school and taught every class. Mrs. George Chrisman acted as superintendent of the Bible school.
HEAVY BURDEN OF GREAT WAR
BY LEASED WIRE.1 LONDON, March 1. Expecting an
official announcement from Premier Asqulth relative to retaliatory meas
ures against Germany for declaring
British waters a "war zone," an enor
mous crowd filled the galleries of the
house of commons today.
When Premier Asqulth arose shortly before 4 o'clock, a hush fell in
the house, but the statesman bad only
arisen to move a new vote of credit for
the prosecution of the war. Premier Asqulth then turned his at
tention to .the bfficial papers which
had been issued by France, Russia
and England relative to the responsibility for the war.
"The publications leave no doubt in the parliament's mind that the responsibility for. the war is not the fault of
this country," he said.
The cost of the war up to March 1 was estimated at $1,810,000,000 by
Premier Asqulth. This represented a
daily expenditure of $7,500,000 in excess of the government's expenses in time of peace. The total war expenditure after April 1 will be $10,000,000 a day, said Premier Asquith. This in' eludes the expenses of the army and navy and any extraordinary expenditures which might arise.

House Expected to Pass Appropriation Measure of $36,000,000 and Send Legislation to President.
The federal government has gone a long way towards helping the fanners when a "lean" year is encountered. The agricultural appropriation bill has been increased from $23,000,000 to $36,000,000. This was brought about largely by an amendment termed a farm credits bill. This amendment will enable the government to loan
money on larm mortgage notes and these loans will be made through the

Charles Coolman, S6, of 217 Main street, an unemployed resident, was brought into court today at the request of Trustee Edgerton, who had practically the same facts to present about the prisoner that sent a man to the penitentiary for one to seve nyears last week.

He said he had a wife, Bessie, and four children, Gertrude 12, Myrtle 9, 'Otha S and Russell 4, dependent on him, but it is now believed he was either never married or that he has no wife or family how.

Sixth street, and selling high-grade groceries at less than regular price. As a matter of self protection and for the benefit of the public who desire our product, we will on Thursday evening publish in both local papers the names of every grocer in Richmond who is not now buying merchandise from us, so that our many friends may secure our goods from those who are buying our During February, 1915, our business as commission merchants shows a gain of over 40 per cent over February, 1914. It is our intention to maintain this increase during the other 10 months of 1915 and to aggregate a total yearly business of over a quarter of million dollars. This means to the buying public that when business is operated on such a large scale that prices will be kept at the very lowest level. Protect yourselves, buy for less, save your money, buy fruits and produce from merchants selling H. V. McLelland goods.
