ENJOYABLE SONG RECITAL.
Given by Pupils of Professor f. A.
Fowler.

Given by Pupils of Professor f. A.
Fowler.
One of the most meritorious and en-
joyable recitals Of the season was given
by the pupils Of Professor Fowler in
the studio of the latter Tuesday evening.
On the programme We're a number of
prominent young artists, who rendered
solos best adapted to their voices, and
as a result the recital was very COM
mendable one.
Miss Rena Teresa Barnes with her
beautiful clear soprano voice sang two
songs, For All Eternity" and May
Morning" both of which were encored
very highly.
Miss Susan S. Newell also rendered
some beautiful selections. Her voice is a
contralto of excellent quality. Tuesday
evening it was heard to excellent advan-
tage. Others who sang with expression
were Miss Katherine Riley, Mrs w. H.
Johnston and Miss Helen Crotty
The only male voice on the programme
was Eyler j. Todd, who rendered two
solos, Song of the Turnkey" and "a
Song of Thanksgiving He is possessed
of a deep voice of excellent range and
quality, and both his solos were rem
dered with an expression and power that
won for him much applause, Mr.. Todd
is bass soloist Of the choir of St Johns
Episcopal church.

trict of Virginia, at Lynchburg.

pearance in the case Of Senator

that during 1891 ana 1892 Maj. Stephen n.

commission merchants OF London, a large
quantity Of leaf tobacco, accompanying
the shipments by drafts on Bird, which.
with other charges paid by the drawee at

aEce, and Hdlsey. in defense. filed five
pleas, asserting that Bird had not en-
dedyored To sell the tobacco at the high
est price obtainable, and bringing a coun-
teF-charge against him fer $1,000 dam
ages. The feature of the argument, which
was marked by eiOquence and ability on
both sides. was Senator Daniels whitening
arrangement of the defendant Bird.
