INTERFERING RECITAL
Givon by Four Young Lady Graduates of
Virginia College.


Virginia College.
The piano recital given by three
graduates of Virginia College in the
college chapel last night WAS grand
success in every particular, with the
aingle exception of the attendance,
which was small owing to the 1ntensely
cold weather.
The programme was rendered in q
most charming manner and all who
ventured out through the cold night
feel we'll repaid for their pains.
Miss Francis Jones WAS called back
several times. Her playing was good
and much enjoyed. She rendered sew
eral difhcult selections from such
authors as Beethoven, Bach and Sohu-
mana. "Seigmund's Love Song" from
Walkure by Wagner, was most delight
fully rendered.
Miss Sallie Parks selections from
Beethoven, Bach and Wagner iszs
were charming. She also rendered inn
promptus from Chopin and Raft.
Miss Ruth Almond WAS repeatedly en-
oored. Her selections were go we'll rem.
dered that the audience was almost ia
ken by storm. Her vocal, Thomas Po-
lacoa and Lynes, were perfect and elic-
tied the greatest Of applause.
Miss Grace Roberts was one of the
performers who deserves special men,
ton. Her popularity ia we'll astested
by the repeated rounds of applause that
followed each selection she rendered.
Schumann's slumber song and Wech's
Mazurka were among the difficult selec.
lions 80 we'll handled by this young
lady.
After the rendition OF the programme
q reception was held in the college
pnrlor rooms.
Mrs. Silverthorn, one Of the teachers,
also rendered some excellent instru-
mental music.

SENATOR STEWART TONIGHT.

The speech Of Senator Stewart at
the Academy Of Music tonight will
be one OF tho most complete elucida-
tions Of the silver question ever pre-
scented to Roanoke audience. The
Senator from Nevada Ia master of the
subject, and his remarks this evening
will abound in facts and figured, pre-.
scented with logic and eloquence that
will strengthen the faith Of silver ad-
yocates and carry conviction to oil who
desire enlightenment. Senator Stew
arts speeches In and out Of Congress
have established his reputation as one
Of the nblest and most eloquent ex-
Founders OF the doctrine of free silver
coinage in the United States, and Roa-
noke ought to feel particularly proud
in being honored with his appearance
here to spssk upon that subject.
The cry of interested parties that the
silver Issue is ceasing to be Of import
ance does not hold good, in view OF the
strength developed by the friends OF the
white metal in the West and South.
The silver eIemsnt in the Democratic
party OF the nation will be heard from
ut the Presidential convention. and 1t Is
by no means improbable thst an advo-
cate of bImetallism will be nominated
for the highest Office in the gilt OF the
people. In Virgins the sentiment in
favor of free coinage Is very strong
and growing daily. This is especially
true OF this section OF the State. which
is q fine field for labor along that line.
The attendance at the Academy Of
Music to-night ought to be.very large.
Senator Stewards daughter will accom-
pany him from Washington to this city,
and 1t is especially desired by the COM
mittee Of arrangements that the ladies'
of Roanoke should grace the occasion
OF their presence at the Academy in
largo numbers. Senator Stewart is 9
national figure, and 1t Is only once in the
lifetime OF the average clsizen that an
opportunity to hear speech by man
OF nis reputation and prominence is af-
tor1ed. That the people Of this city and
section will turn out en- masse to hear
hin tonight there 10 every reason to
believe.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Bradstreet's weekly review Of trade
says: While no radical Improvement hiss
appeared IN the general trade situstion.
more favorable influences are reported
than for some weeks. The drop in the
temperature has affected the movement
OF dry goods, and of hats and groceries
most.
Advicas from Texas are that the
country merchants are asking extern
sions and reports from leading cities
South Gre that the recent relatively ia
vorable state of trade Is marked by less
active dem and In almost all lines. No
improvement is shown In demand for
cotton and WOODEN goods, manufacturers
of each continuing TO fl nd cause for COM
plant.
The record OF declining quotations be.
gun last week Is continued for some
varieties OF cotton, owing to reaction in
the price OF that staple. in the tendency
o! quotations OF wool to decline and in
the lower prices Of wheat, flour, corn,
~osts, pork, lard and petroleum. The
conspicuous advances are on coffee and
sugar, although lenther Ia firm after the
advances for hides week sgo.

Inc memory OF his deeds is as fresh to-

News From the lower Country.

There was very interesting aud salts
factory meeting OF the governing board
of the Commercial club Wednesday even
ing. Superintendent Gilbert and Travel
ing Freight Agent +. A. Hackett were in
the city and special meeting was called
to confer with them. The club has been
quite active IN the matter Of having a
new depot built and opening mp Yakima
avenue. Its efforts have brought forth
good results, for Superintendent Gilbert
was here for the purpose of ascertaining
the sentiment of the community, and in
dicated that the company was prepared
with plans and ready to begin work on
new Structure in the early future-prob-
ably next month. The estimated cost OF
the building is $1,000. Mr.. Gilbert asked
for an expression of the club regarding
location and appeared to be satisfied to
place the new depot on the grounds
directly north of the present building (;
that is, between A street and Yakima
avenue. This plan will no doubt be car
ried out and will unquestionably be sat
isfactory to all of our citizens.
A short time ago the governing board
Of the club appointed committee to in
vestigate the subject Of wool securing
plant for North Yakima Some cores
pom dence has been carried on with the
officers Of the Northern Pacific company.
and Mr.. Hackett has been comforting
with the sheep men of this vicinity with
view of ascertaining the wool product
OF this section. He was accompanied TO
the club by II. Metzger, the representa-
tive Of a leading wool firm of Boston, who
has already arranged to put in COM
pressor or wool bailer in Yakima, and
who stated that he felt confident tba,
Boston capital could be induced to sub
scribe to the stock of a company organ
lied to build and operate wool securing
plant at North Yakima. Mr.. Hackett
also recognized the growing importance
of the sheep industry OF this section and
stated that while the special rates between
Yakima stations and Pendeton had been
withdrawn, that the company was pre-
pared to make very low rate on wool
from Sprague and other points to the
east to Yakima, and from Yakima to
Boston. The N. p. is anxious to central,
lie the wool industry at some point in
Washington and after investigation has
favored North Yakima. The meeting of
the Commercial club was a most salts
factory one in every respect and the ben
efits which will come from it promise to
be of gratifying proportions.

Harry Moran was there just to 'help the

that section. The lower Snipes ranch
was the scene of the roundup, where the
horses were separated, branded and gelded
and those not wanted turned out on the
range. The stock is in fair condition for
the time of the year. A large number
of ranchers were on hand to find lost
horses. 1t would pay one who has not
seen roundup to go many miles to see
such Workmanship as is there displayed.
The Newport polo players would do.well
to take few lessons from the "boys" in
riding. 1t takes a lively cuitan TO get
away when he hears the swish of the
