Coal Famine In Sight.

The scarcity OF coal in the New Mex
leo division of the Santa Fe, is caused
on account of the heavy traffic aud tho
demand all along the line for freight
cars. The mines at BlossburR are able
to supply the demand but the company
is not able to supply enough oars to
transport the different coaling points.
At Lamy this fact is practically no
ticeable. The supply of coal there has
just met the demand each day with no
surplus. There has been q rumor cur
rent for some time that the supply or
output of coal from the mines was not
able to meet the demands and that .
coal famine was likely. There is no
likelihood of a coal famine in New
Mexico but unless the coal can be
transported in large quantities there
may be q shortage at the coaling sta
tiOns.
The new shaft at Blossburg is to be
opened soon with the latest equipment
of mining machinery. The coal is to
be mined from beneath with improved
electrical mining machinery. The mine
will be lighted by electricity and will
be enabled to mine more coal with few
er mon than any other mine in that
part of the country. Large coke ovens
will be operated 10 connection with the
new mines.

Interpretation of the true musician. In
fact her work as q whole marked q
maturity of understa ndiug and COM
prehension of the requirements OF the
violin that must have been especially
gratifying to her parents who have
bean at considerable sacrifice to give
their daughter the education that her
natural talents call for; and With the
two years of training in Europe to
which they look forward to with just
pleasure, Miss Canady ought to become
one of the most finished OF women
artists. The Schubert Serensde was .
difficult perforn auce, noticeab1y the
double stop work. This WAS we'll done,
and on her retirement to the wings,
Prof. Farland warmly shook her by the
hand, as he told her with unconcealed
pleasure the promise in store for her.
Mr.. Beach's tenor solo was one OF
his best efforts. His clear dramatic
voice rang like q clarion last night.
and his number was not encored, only
because it was the last on the
program.
The accompanies were Misses
Moore and Emma Haggsrt who GER
taiuly performed their parts well. The
audince adjourned very much pleased,
for the entire evening passed without
any halt, or obstacle of any kind. It
was a thoroughly well rendered perfor-
nance clear through. Thanks are due
to Mr.. Feldman for bringing Prof. Far
land here, and for his skillful manage
ment of the entire affair.

AN ARTISTIC EVENING.
The Farland Concert Last Night, was
the Musical Event of the Season.

To epitomize the banjo performance
of Prof. A. A. Farland last night in
Chopin hall, would be to say that he
exhausted the entire resources of that
instrument. When the announcement
was made through advertisements of
what this artist proposed to do. and
that this included the per Torrance of
orchestral compositions of the most
classical character, peOple, Ike Nico-
demus of old, wondered how these
things could be, but resolved to 60 and
see for themselves ere forming judg-
ment: for in these days of invention,
discovery, and the production of the
hitherto unheard of, it is not always
safe to form opinions hastily.
So there was good audience pres
ent last night, and the generous APP
plause given at the close of each num-
Der showed that the performance was a
rich surprise party. Such genuinely
artistic work on banjo was never
heard before in this section of the
country, and the satisfaction it gave
ought to indicate packed house when
Prof. Farland comes this way again, as
it is to be hoped he will. The program
was carried out as advertised, the home
talent coming by itself in the middle of
the performance, thus saving time; for
Prof. Farland was thus able to play
the first and third parts without leav-
ment to his instrument. by which he ia
able to produce muted effects, similar
to those on a violin. With this ettach-
ment in action, the most delicate
pianissimos were produced. SIS was
evidenced in the Schubert Serenade,
the Brahms Hungarian Dance,
and the Beethoven Sonata: while the
variation nish the OF .r.. performance OF
| ~, -,
the contrast between La Paloma
and the Paderewski Minuet. The latter
articularly deserves favorable COM
ment, for such marvellous technique on
banjo was q surprise, and the hear
tiest applause naturally followed this
number. Producing those crisp clar-
iuet cadenzas on an instrument that
has been considered inferior, like the
banjo was something more or less sta t.
ling, and this difficult number, like
all the rest, for that matter, was played
with an ease and grace of execui ion
and finish that came in the nature of a
| revelation. At times, as 10 the Tell
selection, the fierce OallegrOs of the
Beethoven number and in the Tarentel-
lie, the strong staccatOs OF the instru-
ment were brought out with force
and power that was at the same time
smooth and clean cut, aud the sensuous
melodies of the Schubert Serenade, the
Cradle Song and La Paloma, were
given with a roundness and
sweetness of tone, and expression and
delicacy of execution hitherto
unheard Of in banjo performance The
artist easily earned his laurels, and
showed his audience that q way has
been opened for the banjo to the realm
of really artistic merit in solo work.
Two of the numbers were variations of
his own on popular airs which shove d
merit in composition as well as in other
lines of musical acton. Prof Farland
left this after noon for Dallas where he
concertiZes next.
