DE PACHMANN'S ONLY RECITAL
At the recent Worcester festival, in which
the greatest artists appeared, the honors
were divided between the famous pianist.
Vladimir de Pachmann, and the no less
famous soprano, Marcella Sembrich. Philip
Hale speaks of De Pachmann as follows:
Mr.. de Pachmann knows the limitations
of the piano, and he respects them. Why
speak at this late day of the understandable
beauty of his touch, Of the exquisite finish
of his runs and ornaments, of the keenly
defined rhythm, of the poetry, of his phras-
ing? There is no pianist heard in this coun-
try for the last ten years who anpre-
ciates the twilight that was dear to Chopin
or understands SO thoroughly the neurotic
nature of the composer There is no plan
ist who is so intimate with Chopin, to
whom Chopin himself would havaeso gladly
and so sadly listened" The De Pachmann
recital will be given at the Columbia Thea
ter "Wednesday afternoon at Az Tickets
sale at GuZman's, in Droops music
store.

ADDITIONAL } CONNECTIONS
Local Rapid Transit Facilities Will Be
Furtherdmpoyed
Several ImpOrtnnt Loops to BE Made
ON Washington Trnction and Elec-
trfc Companyis system.

For the next twenty days or so workmen
Will be in possession of the streets at the
corners of 9th and E streets, 9th and
u streets. 18th and F streets and 18th
and streets, respectively, putting in
the connections between the tracks of
the electric street car lines which in
tersect at these busy functions. The ma
teriai for these connections. which will
greatly increase the facilities for rapid
transit Of the Washington Traction and
Electric Company, is all on hand and the
work of establishing it will be pushed as
rapidly as possible.
"a new connection has also been ordered
and will be made within two months at
New Jersey avenue and street, opposite
the Baltimore and Ohio depot, by which
cars running west on street OF Indiana
avenue may be run around New Jersey
avenue to the east track on D street, when
other public occasions, where heretofore
traffic on Capitol Hill has been temporarily
stopped and the travel over the entire east
and west system thus suspended.
Other New Loops.
A second connection will be put in at 9th
and D streets and Louisiana avenue by
which cars running by the Baltimore and
potomac depot may be run up 9Th street
to Louisiana avenue and thence to the
baltimore and Ohio depot, returning by
means of the connection above described to
r street The object of this innovation is
to permit of direct connection between
the various hotel~and both depots.
"A third connection will be introduced at
the east end of Lincoln Park. by which cars
may run around that reservation without
going out to the car stables, as at present,
and thus save about eight minutes of time.
This connection will be utilized mainly by
the cars which are to run direct from
Cabin John bridge to the eastern terminus
OF the Metropolitan line.
The work on the Columbia power house
mas been completed, and track connections
between the overhead and underground
lines of the Columbia road has been COM
pleted, Henceforth cars will run from 18th
street and New York avenue to the Ben
ming race track without change.
Georgetown Turn-ORs.
The connection between the Metropolitan
and Georgetown and Tenleytown tracks at
I'D and p streets has been completed and
cars will be shortly run to Rockville, Md,
from the center of the city without change
The iron and steel work of the connec-
ton between the metropolitan and Great
Fails lines at Beth street and Prospect ave-
nue. Is also In place, and the cars of the
latter system will also run through to the
eastern terminus of the former tracks in a
few days.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
Let Mothers Erect n Building for the
Junior Republic.

practical suggestion in regard to the
needs of the Junior Republic came to The
Star today in the shape of the following
letter from Mrs. Archibald Hopkins:
1T has occurred to me, after hearing the
account of the Junior Republic Sunday at
the meeting held in its interest at Columbia
Theater. that it would be capital thing If
the building which they SO sadly need
could be raised by the mothers of sons in
Washington. There surely must be 5000
mother" who. for the love of their own
happy sheltered boys or in loving memory
of those who have gone before, will be will
ing to give 81 each to help save some wo-
mans son whom fate has thrown on the
world without a mothers love or home to
protect him. All subscriptions sent to me
will be promptly acknowledged by postal
card. Let us act promptly, as he gives
twice who gives quickly.
