lovers know that there was rare
treat offered to the audience. Madam
Fursch Madi's voice has n peculiarly
clear, pure, and bell like quality through
out its whole compass which enables her
TO produce astonishing effects and electri-
fy her hearers. Her first piece, the grand
aria, "Queen of Sheba," by Gounod, Is in
the usual style of the composer, somewhat
rugged and not too well adapted TO the
concert stage, but the second number by
Delibes was piece of tone shading in
which both the singer and audience rev
eled the delicacy of touch, the perfect
technique and the execution of Furch-
Madi were perfectly shown, and the appre
citation of the audience was rapturously
shown in the liberal applause.
Miss Amy c. Rider is comparatively new
TO this city, but she shows an artistic CON
ception Of instrumental music that is rare
even i'm these days of abundant genius.
Her selections were all of il strictly classi-
cal order perhaps slightly too much so, as
variety is always acceptable. The inter
probation of the intellectual Bach, the sen
timcntal Chopin, and the capricious Liszt
evinced great breadth Of study. Per
hans the gem Of her work If selection
were made would be said TO be the ID flat
prelude of Chopin.
Having listened so frequently TO Grize
and Victor Herbert, the music lovers in
Providence have become somewhat crit

THE NEWEST EVENING GOWNS.
Black Appears 10 he the Prevailing
style for Young Women.


style for Young Women.
The newest evening gowns for young
women are black chiffon or mousseline de
Sole embroidered with a color and trimmed
with velvet the shade of the color. These
dresses may be lined with black or tint,
according to the fancy Of the purchaser.
A very charming model is black gossa-
mer web, strewn closely with buttercups
in the natural hue and frightened with
yellow chiffon In the sleeves and petticoat
and chemisette. The necks OF these
gowns are moderately high and the
sleeves invariably long, which adds much
TO the qualntness Of the effect produced.
Some OF the skirts are made OF three
hounces, embroidered with trails OF roses
or other bright blossoms. The bodice
may then be made OF plain chiffon In the
color of the flowers. or OF black with
smaller flower sprays. A favorite design
is bow knot OF color embroidered upon
the black, and this Is extremely effective
In the yellow. which promises to be the
color OF the season here, as In Paris IL
has the preference over all other color.

ysemIness OF the Orange Tree.

Those who think that IN Its delicious
fruit the entire usefulness Of the orange
tree Is centered are very much mistaken.
On the contrary. It's flowers furnish by
distillation an essential oil that enters
into many delicate perfumes. Again, the
early unripened fruit gives the distiller
volatile oil for other perfumes used in
all nice foreign cologne water. Mean
while the long. straight shoots are sold
numerously for walking-sticks, and the
yellow-g grained wood is in great demand
for fancy furniture and inlaid work. A
water is obtained from the flowers that
is used to disguise the taste of medicines
and to flavor cookery, and another oil OF
value is yielded by the rind.

IN MEMORY OF LOWELL
Rev. Canon Farrar Preached Special
Sermon On Lowell.


LONDON, August 15.-Rev. Canon
Farrar, d. D. had announced that SER
vices in memory of the late James Rus
sell Lowell would be held in Westmin-
lister Abby tomorrow but the plan was
abruptly changed and the services were
held to-day. Many of the Americans
in the city who were desirious of at
tending the services had no knowledge
of the changed arrangements and con-
sequently they were not present.
Special seats had been arranged In the
choir and these were reserved for Amer
leans. Among those who attended the
services was the Hon. Robert T. Lin
coin, the United States Minister. The
ceremony was very impressive.
In the course of his remarks
Canon Farrar said Mr.. Lowell
had made his second home in England
where as we'll as in America he was
truly loved. He was one OF the sacred
unions that bound England 20 America
more closely. The same blood ran In
in each our veins; both spoke the same
tongue of Shakespeare, and both held
faith in the morals of Milton. Mr..
Lowell was one of those true Ameri-
cans 10 whom the slaves owed their
freedom, and twenty million OF his fell
low citizens their awakened conscious
ness. English universities bestowed
upon him their proudest honors. He
has now passed away, loved and rever-
ened by the two mightiest nations of
the world.

BAKER CONVICTED.

Verdict GGuilty Of Murder in the First Degree
Ths Prisoner Standing, the Jury POllsd-
An Appeal to DO
Taken.

Abingdon. VA, Aug. 15.-The town
"a all excitement. The request OF the
iury last evening for special instruc-
tions on the testimony OF an accom-
Mice fell like a thunderbolt upon the
waiting throng, which expected notn-
ing worse for the prisoner than a
chung Jury" BY this significant oc-
currence almost every one became con-
WINGED that a conviction would be
reached. After the court was opened
at 9 o'clock there came a period OF
anxious. almost breathless waiting.
Half an hour passed.
Then all eyes were turned to the door
while the jury entered. Every one read
the verdict in their countenances, ana
when the foreman pronounced the fatal
word ''Guilty" no one was surprised. A
solemn, lugubrious hush fell upon the
scene.
The prisoner was told to stand up.
He arose with the utmost composure,
and only flushed and sad countenance
BETRAYED the great emotion, which,
whether he was guilty or not, must
have been raging in his breast. He
firmly gazed upon the faces OF his peers
while the Clerk read in clear and dis
tinct voice, "We, the jury, find John A.
P. Baker guilty of murder in the first
degree"
In accordance with the motion OF Mr..
James L. White, for the defence, the
jury was polled, each answering in his
turn: "This is my verdict" Mr.. Blair,
for the defence, then arose and asked
that they be he heard on some motions
that they wished to introduce In an
hour. Granting his request, the court
adjourned till 1920
The court assembled again at 11:30
and motion for new trial was over
ruled. Time was given the defendants
to file bills of exceptions for certifica-
tion by the Court looking to an appel
to the Circuit Court. The court ad-
journed until tomorrow, when the
motion to arrest judgment will be made
and argued.

GEORGIA SOLID FOR CRISP.
The Alliance Congressman of the State
Will Support Him for Speaker.

! The Alliance congressman Oh inc otats
Will Support Him for Speaker.
ATLANTA, August 15.-The recent
publications concerning disaffection IN
the ranks of the Georgia Congrefs dele
CATION over the candidacy of Mr.. Crisp
for the speakership have had the effect
of consolidating these gentlemen in
favor of their colleague. Even Tom
Watson now writes this to the newspa'
pers: 81 have never said that l would
not vote for MIR. Crisp"
Mr.. Watson makes this explanation:
He (Mr. Crisp failed to answer my let
ter in reference to the Ocala platform,
and have had no expression from him
since he wrote his letter on the Sub
Treasury. My district defeated Mr..
Barnes for writing the same sort Of let
tiers. thought that to pledge my vote
conditionally under the circumstances
would be INCONSISTENT.
Mr.. Watson then said that if there
should be one Democrat in the contest
''who endorses the Ocala platform, and
he has only ten votes, mine will be one
of them. tits not my business to guar
antee results. l shall vote as my dis
trict tells me-"
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Wat
son endeavored to trot out Congressman
Livingston as the Alliance candidate for
the Democratic nomination. In this
connection il was published that the
five Alliance members from Georgia had
agreed to support Livingston.
The first reply to this came from Mr..
Livington himself, who declared tnSS
no wVIIu NV -~-----..- IL bile
under no pledge to any one, when Con-
gress met, motives of State pride alone,
were other reasons absent, would cause
him to vote for Mr.. Crisp.
Congressman VIM held that the
Alliance members from Georgia were
elected as Democrats, and would have
to enter the Democratic caucus and be
governed by it's decision. 1t would be
folly for q Georgian to stab his own COL
leagues In order to benefit someone else
who would be, perhaps, further removed
from Alliance sympathy than Mr.. crisp.
This position was endorsed by Messrs.
Lawson and Everett. Mr.. Moses says:
"Of course, we can't hope to elect our
Alliance Speaker, and l know OF no
Alliance candidate. AS to other candi-
dates, l shall give Mr.. Crisp the prefer
ence. If he recognizes the Alliance
members as Democrats in good standing,
shall vote for him." Thus deserted
by all of his colleagues, Mr.. Watson now
finds it necessary to qualify his attitude
by drawing attention to the fact that he
never said that he would not vote for
Crisp. Mr.. Crisp started to-day on a
campaign tour through the Northwest.

How e Curea Cold.

"Only cold" often results in serious effects. If taken while the first symp- toms appear colds can generally be easily broken up. The Nashville American gives the following five rules to cure a cold:
 1. Bathe the feet in hot water and take 6 pint of hot lemonade. Then sponge with salt water and remain ID a warm room.
 ,. Batbe the face in very hot W ter every five minutes for an hour.
 3. Snuff up the nostrils hot salt water every three hours.
 4. Inhale ammonia or menthol.
 ,. Take four hours active exercise in the air. A ten-grain dose of quinine will usually break up a cold in the be . ginning. Anything that will set the blood in active circulation will do it, whether it be drug or the use of buck saw.
