April IL, proved the most interesting.
and might add, ideal concert, ever
given in Richmond.
The program was of the proper
length, the numbers carefully selected
and arranged as to relative value and
climax, with more than ordinary skill.
We have had other and more expert
enced artists, but none more pleasing
or sincere in their work, and with such
genuine expressions Of enjoyment as were
accorded them throughout the program
they should recall this as one of those
occasions that rarely come to an artist
but how could it be otherwise, with
their talent aud such eminent teachers.
Mrs. Kean's clear pronunciation and
enunciation. combined with perfect in
tonation, fits her for the concert So
prano and especially noticeable. she
sings in tune and does not get out of
pitch.
There was no physical exertion or
forcing of the voice and no more
voice produced than was consistent
with the beauty and requirements of
the solos.
Mr.. Abramowitz subordinated his
technical brilliancy to faithful rem
dering of the composers poetry in
Simon's Berceuse and that zephyr-like
encore of Reynard's Berceuse, his treat
ment of the Zigennerweisen of Sarasate
was fitted with the greatest delicacy Of
feeling aud tone that was absolutely

window Dressing Now a Feature Here

A few years ago the art of window
dressing in Richmond was left to the
undisputed possession OF the spider and
the fly; the only object then being light,
and this was admitted through numer-
GUS small panes of glass. Now expen-
sive plate glass is used and window
space is as valuable almost as advertis-
ing space in the CLIMAX, and an artisti-
cally arranged window is as productive
of quick sales as a dapper clerk. The
artistic and elaborate arrangement of
goods and the beauty of blending of
colors have much to do with attracting
the public eye. Messrs. Douglas,

TO carry the art forward in this city and
they have succeeded by several remark
able exhibitions. Remembering this,

Santa Fe Grievance Committe es
In Topeka Today.

ARRANGE A SCHEDULE
Advance In Rate of Pay Will
Be Asked.
New Rules and Regulations Said
to Be Necessary.
A SCHEDULE

The grievance committees of the Or
der of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen for
the Santa F'e road proper are in To-
peka today. The first meetings were
held this afternoon.
The committees will meet separately
for several days, but before adjourn
ment joint meetings will be held. The
men are here to ask a revision of the
schedule governing traInmen on the
Santa Fe, or rather the arrangement of
a new schedule. The present schedule
was made up in 1892, and it is claimed
that the road has outgrown its regula-
tions.
AS a part of the new schedule the
committees will ask an advance in the
rate of pay of conductors and brake
men. Whether a horizontal increase
will be asked, or various increases sub
ject to different conditions, will be de-
cided later.
1t is announced that Grand Masters
Clark and NTOrrissey of the o. r. c.
and B. of r. T. respectively, will come
to Topeka to assist in the arrangement
Of a new schedule.
The Santa F'e officials will undoubt-
edly agree to a new set of rules and
regulations for the government of ftrain-
men, but it is a question whether an ad-
vance in the rate of pay will be al
lowed.
