She Delights "A Fine Audience.

She Delights n Fine Audience.
Miss Bette Booker appeared before a
Richmond audience again last night, after
a long interval of absence. At her for
mer visits to her home here Miss Booker's
voice was such a pure, velvety soprano
that her admirers believed there was no
room for Improvement. Her winters
study, however, has improved her voice
wonderfully 1t now has a broad, at
times majestic, tone, that leads many to
prophesy for her not only great future
on the concert stage. but foremost place
among dramatic singers.
Last night Miss BOokers aCcCmpani-
ments We're played by Miss Fannie Allen
Mera, with a fine responsiveness to the
singers theme. The programme was as
follows: "CarO Nome" Verdrs beautiful
aria; I'm a Bower and at Twilight" by
Nevin "Mattinata," by Tosti. "M2Gri-
gal" by Chaminade; Thou Art So Like
a Flower" by Chadwick; "Misgivings."
by Jenny Prince Black: MAY Morning"
by Denza; "Cest Mon Ami Were My
Songs" by Hahn; "Aimi-Mai," by Benz
berg, and "Serenade," by Gounod.
Miss Booker was very gracious in re-
spending TO her repeated encores. At one
encore she sang Comm Thro' the Rye"
which reminded many i'm her audience
which so much has been said: The time
when the young Patti sang Comm Thro'
the Rye" in the old First African church
far down Broad street.
The audience included a large number
OF the fashionable people Of Richmond.
There was not a vacant seat in the long
Jefferson ballroom.

SOME believe war will advance prices

wheat in Chicago advanced to 81 %, but

IT is interesting to observe that the
United States has fought five wars in
the 1872 years since the declaration an
nounced the birth of our nation, says an
exchange. In each one we have
triumphed. In that period England has
fought six wars, not including conflicts
with savages in India and Africa and
shO has lost two-both to . nited States.
France has engaged in SIX, and has lost
two. one with the allied powers and one
with Germany. Prussia in the same
period has lost two out Of five wars.
Austria has lost three out of five.
Russia has lost two and gained two.
Spain has lost every war she has under
taken in that period-unless her ten year
war with Cuba may be called victor
ious.
The United States has declared war
but once, that instance being in 1919,
and after such a series of insults and in
iurles as no nation would now dream of
inficting. But there never has been a
day when declaration of war from ar
other nation has found US Unprepar9d.
And every enemy which has sfirst at
tackled US has been the first to sue for
peace.
In this country the initiative always
rests with Congress, and on its authOri-
zation the President must declare war.
WE use the soap that tackles the dirt,
and not the shirt.
