MNE. NEvADA's CONCERT.
An Encore Demanded After Every
Number.

Nine. Emma Nevada, assisted by Louis
Blumenberg. 'cellist ard Seldom Pratt.
pianist, gave at the Theater last night a
concert, that was one of the best ever
heard in Savannah. Though Nine. Nevada
has never been heard here before, her
fame had preceded her, and she was well
coined by an audience which showed lis
thorough appreciation of each number of
the programme by Demanding an encore.
In the first number Of the programme, the
celebrated Bell Song" from Lakme,
Nine. Nevada completely captivated her
hearers, ard their enthus asm became in
tensiiied after each succeeding effort.
Nine, Nevada's voice is all that could be
desired, clear, round, flexible and power
full, qualities that were all brought out in
the most admirable way in the Bell
Song" and later in the Shadow Song,
from Dinorah, where her truly wonderful
tones and tfflls made the audience refuse
TO leave their seats until an encore had
been given.
AS recall piece after the first number.
she sang One Early Morn" simple,
but melodious little ballad, which was
written especially for the singer and
which was given last night for the first
time.
Upon her second appearance Nine Ne

kowsky's Travouschka, a mQurnful compo-
sition with the weird beauty of the Rus
sian folk-song, and the haunting melan-
choly of the dirge. Nine Nevada's rendi-
ton was a revelation of power, pathos
and tone. color
In direct contrast 10 this was the Tau
bert 'Voge i'm Walde,' a Brilliant bird
song in which all of the singers remark
able execution was called into play, ana
showing as well the wonderful f1exibility
and carrying power of her voice.
AS an encore she gave You and l."
composition of Liza Lehmann's, of whom
the singer is a particular friend
The last selection was the Shadow
Dance" from Linorah in which Nine Ne
vada gave full range to her power and
poured out a ripping stream of golden
melody that flooded the house and awoke
the audience to stormy applause. She re-
sponded with the "Old Folks at Home"
Mr. Blumenberg too, came in for his
share of popular favor. 1t was a large
share and well deserved, for he has an al
most perfect mastery Of his instrument,
and plays with deiicacy, feeling and
power. The Hungarian Caprice" Dunk
Ter, was probably his best and most popu-
lar number, though the Romance by st.
Saens, and Peppers Spanish Dance were
both charmingiy played as were also the
several recall pieces that he was forced to
give. OF these the Melodyn F. was eXcep-
tionally beautiful.
Nor was the playing of Mr. Pratt, the
pianist, the least enjoyable part of the
evening. His numbers were not preten-
tious, but each were well played, and re-
ceived merited applause Nocturne Opus
Ga, Chopin and the "Scherzo in B. Minor"
by the same composer, constituted the
first group and "Fetudeu," "Henselt," and
'Toccata," by Scambati, the second As
encores he gave "Humeresque." Berger,
Rubinstein's Romance in Eb OF these the
best was the "Toccata." Mr.. Pratt was
unfortunately handicapped by being forced
to use an upright instead of a grand
piano.

THE BOY is WEAK MINDED.
His Father Wants Him Removed
From the Custody of Sheriff.

Samuel G. Fuller swore out a writ of
habeas corpus IN the Superior Court yes
terday directed to Sheriff Sweeny, which
was sanctioned by Judge Falligant. 1t re-
quires the sheriff to produce before the
judge the body of Walter Fuller, on the
morning of April 7, so that the legality
of Fuiler's detention by the sheriff may
be inquired into.
The plaintiff in the habeas corpus pro-
ceeding is the father of Walter Fuller
who, 1t is recited, is 10 years old and of
weak and immature mind. The boy was
once struck on the head with rock and
a portion of the scalp and brains had to
be removed. He has never since, so it is
alleged, been in possession of his full fac
ulties.

dicted by the grand jury on March 26,
for the offense of burglary and on the sue
eeeding day. before his father had had an
opportunity to take legal steps to secure
his custody, had been induced to enter a
plea of guilty to the indictments, though
he was not in law guilty of the offenses
charged, and sentenced TO a term in Jail

DISCIPLINE OF CHILDREN.
Discussed by Mothers and Teachers
ut kindergarten Class.

ut Kindergarten Class.
The question of discipline was again
before the kindergarten class yesh erday
because there were so many points still
remaining after the class of Saturd. W,
that it was thought wiser to finish tbs
subject more thoroughly before doing
anything else.
Much interesting d scussion came up as
the mothers and teachers present were
asked to give their opinions and expert
ences freely.
Miss Backus read extracts from "Chil-
dren's Rights" by Mrs. Wiggin and from
the "Frobers Education of Man" defined
by Prof. Hervey as "A Spring and Foun-
tain of Life"
Parents usually look at their children
in one of two ways said Miss Backus.
Either the child is expected to be pay
thing and toy to be picked up or put down
at will, or a miniature man or woman ca
pable of all the reasoning and will power
that comes after years Of experience, and
in no other way. We expect the results of
training far too quickly, and forget that
the object of all discipline is
to form character, and that
character is the result of many years of
training.
One wise mother said THE best way
to make child truthful, is not so much
to punish untruthfulness. as 20 see that
a child realizes that truth is the founda-
ton of all right-living and right-thinking;
it is our part to plant the seeds, let US
be careful that we do not try to forge
the fruit"
Froebel says that all evil tendencies
observed in the child are the negatives of
some virtue, and that if we will bend our
energies to cultivating the virtue, the
evil viii die because it has nothing to
feed on. Much harm is done by empha-
sizing childish faults, and raising unnec-
essary questions of obedience, when the
whole question might have settled itself
most judicously If allowed to do so. If
we fill q child full of the good there is
no room for the evil and punishment
is done away with, for the child learns
that self-control is part of all that Is
good All discipline then, should lead a
child to see the purity that is in every
thing, for that purity leads him to God"

COMPROMISE WAS REACHED.
Karchner Case settled with $4,000
for the Plaintiff.

The case of Martin Karchner against the
Southern Railway for several days on
trial in the United States Court, was term
mated yesterday by the agreement of the
parties. In the compromise the plaintiff
received from the company the sum of
81, 500, estimated as the amout of the sal
airy he would have made had he been able
TO work during the time he was suffering
from the effects of the accident
Karchner sued the company for $40 900.
He was injured in jumping from the cab
of his engine, to escape participation in a
collision with several fiat cars that had
been left on the track ahead of the train
of which he was engineer, according 10
his contention, through the gross careless
ness of the agents and employees of the
road. The accident occurred near the
yards of the Southern at Brunswick

i'll Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, MO-, May 12.-The Fed
eral authorities found alleged cause for
interfering this evening in the strike inau-
gurated this morning by the union en-
ployes Of the Metropolitan Street Railway

The Injunction Is based upon the fact
that several of the persons complained
against are residents of other States, and
the further fact that the strikers threaten
to prevent the company from carrying out
it's contract to transport the city mail
carriers.
