PHILHARMONIC CLUB CONCERT.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lent's ReeitaIs-EarI
Gulick, Boy Soprano.

The Philharmonic Club gave the first
concert of the present season last night
at the Luther Memorial Church. the pro-
gramme consisting of piano and violon-
cello recitals by Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Lent
and songs by the boy soprano, Earl Gu
lick, of New York. The auditorium OF
the church was filled with an audience
made up OF the musical connoisseurs OF
the city, all of whom testified their delight
by hearty applause at the close OF every
| number. A very laudable innovation at
last nights concert was the exclusion of
encores. the only exception being made in
favor of young Gulick. who sang THE
Last Rose of Summer" in response to the
persistent demands of the audience
Mr.. and Mrs. Lent are no strangers TO
the musical public of Washington. Both
have welinigh reached perfection in the
manipulation of their respective instru-
ments. In one respect, also. both have
the great advantage over large number
of other performers in that their hearts
are in their music and they thus give en-
HANGED pleasure to their auditors. This
was pre-eminently noticeable last night,
not only in those numbers which they
played in concert, such as I'm the For
est" but also in the solo. The gems OF
Mr. Lent's yioloncello renditions were IN
doubtedly the scherzo by Won Goens.

Thirteenth Rhapsody" and Chopin's
beautiful nocturne in minor.
Earl Gulick has a strangely beautiful
soprano voice-for a boy. 1t is particu-
larry pure in the upper register, though
at times somewhat clouded in the middle
notes. His enunciation, however. is
painfully indistinct, and in this respec.
he will do well to cultivate considerable
improvement. His most ambitious per-
Torrance was the well-known song of
"Cherubino." from THE Marriage of FL
caro-" and next to that a rather difficult
composition by Liza Lehman. "Oh, Neon
of My Delight"
The accompanist for Gulick was Mr..

The Lnfayette-"Hedd. Gnbler., ,,

From the independent course of mod
ern plays" given at the National Theatre
last season Washington has been in 8
dirk Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," and 1t is
doubtful if, barring the season of grand
opera, a local theatre has ever held q
more representative Washington audience
than the Lafayette yesterday afternoon
when 1bsen's famous play"was presented by
Miss Blanche Bates, assisted by the men,
bers Of the Lafayette Stock Company.
Opinion as to Ibsen's exact position in
the field Of dramatic authors is a ques-
ton not yet decided. but certain it is tina,
the big audience which witnessed his play
yesterday afternoon has agreed that he is
coming, IL he has not already arrived.
The piece can hardly be put down as a
dream play. for it combines the ideal Sc
closely with the real that it may safely be
called modern in its careful drawing Of life
under many different conditions. Constant
striving after ideals is the main theme oil
"Hedda Gabler," and it is truly Ibsensque
The position Of Hedda in the world, out OF
place in her husbands home and love. out
Of touch with his ideas and forever crav-
ing the impossibie-with its inevitable de-
teat-are all carefully. consistently, and
brilliantly told.
Miss Bates as Hedda succeeded in
bringing out its many fine points very
distinctly. She was artistic and true in
her portrayal of the woman who longed
for the ideal In whatever role this ac-
tress chooses to appear she is always in
teresting. but while her Redda is clear
and as well defined as the author could
wish, 1t must be said that she has been
seen to better advantage.
AS Jorgen Tesman, husband to Hedda,
John DAILY Murphy revealed abilities
hitherto hidden from local audiences
He handled the role of the would be pro-
fessor who was "of the earth. earthly"
very skillfully, and proved a real sur
prise. John T. Sullivan essayed the part
of Assessor Brack. Judge of the Supreme
Court and acted with his accustomtd ease
and naturalness, and scored perhaps the
greatest success of the performance
Eugene Ormonde was effective as Gilbert
Loveberg. and made the most of his few
scenes while Miss Kruger gave a careful
and consistent and wholly intelligent
reading OF Mrs. Elvsted. Mrs. F.. NJ

for her work with the Frawley company

From The Caucasus
To The Himalayas

A semi official report from Tifiis
confirms the progress of Russia's ac-
tivity in Aphganistan and her march
towards India.
The Russian War Minister, taking
as apretext the rumored death of the
Emir Abdurrhamankhan and the agi-
tation of certain tribes in the noun
tains, has had some instructive .ex-
periences of mobilization.
On the orders received the troops
in the Caucasus have been trans
ferred from Tifiis TO Kouchk, the
last station of the Transcaspien
road on the line not yet finished
connecting Merry and Herat, but
which is already concluded up to
within eighty kilOmeters of the great
Aphgan City.
The detachment embarked at Tt
fiis and in eight days, by railroad to
Bakou, by the sea way until Krasn-
Ovodsk and again by the road TO
kouckk. the forces arrived at their
destination.
The experience has proved to be
a success ann it is now demonstrated
that should the occasion arise Rus
sian cOlmn may easily be sent from
the Caucasus to the doors of the
Himalaya.
To the army in TuIkeStan Russia
can add without effort the best ele-
ments of her European army and
she is in a very advantageous posi-
tion to be able to commence at once
the contest with England for supre
macy in Asia.

than those charged to other nations,
MeCico also secures extra territorial

Another great advantage is the
opening of chinese ports to mexican
commerce. Up to the present time
mexican entrance TO these ports was
