Teresa Carreno is one of the few pianists
whose idea of Interpretation is singularly
peculiar to herself. Her power, the fire o.
her performance and her technique are
remarkable, and in the opinion of
many of the most eminent critics have
never been equaled With this wonderful
fiery temperament, which. however, no
longer carries her away 1t did OCCASION
ally in former years, she breathes into the
lively compositions unusual animation anu
with her own poetic feeling gives life and
soul to the more tender or romantic num-

counted for from the fact that her mother
was of the proudest Castiian blood a
marchesa in her own right and a niece Of

Undrawn Poultry in Market


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I wish to enter just one complaint gainst
the otherwise good Washington markets,
and that is the selling of poultry containing
the entrails. Our beautiful Thanksgiving
turkey anticipated for a week beforehandD
so plump, SO juicy. SO brown (baked in a
19-cent self-basting roasting PAM. could lot
be eaten on account Of the tainted f1esh
And the eff1uvia from the stewing gibiets
as one entered the kitchen was something
appalling. In mild climate like this
fowls containing the entrails for forty-eight
hours, and often seventy-two hours, are
certainly not fit to eat Let the farmer
charge or cents more per FOUND for
extra labor. and draw the fowl before plac
ing 1t the market. In Massachusetts
there Is stringent law against selling
poultry containing the entrails. And see
to Washington from that state. 1t re-
minds one of the anecdote Of the English
man and Scotchman discussing the relative
merits of oatmeal. "Humph!' said the
Englishman, I'VE feed oats to the horses
in England" yes said the Scot graveIy,
after a pause, see what fine horses they
raise In England and what fine men in
Scotland" While the question of pure food
is being a2itated, let US have untainted
poultry flesh. Oh! ye mighty men Of Con-
gress while passing a law prohibiting the
ton is less harmful to the system than
poisoned turkey meat, kindly pass another
prohibiting the sale Of ducks. geese, tur-
keys or chickens that contain the entrais,
and every housekeeper will rise up and call
you blessed. P.

Hunting.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In the Thanksgiving day Star there was
an article on illegal Duck Shooting" in
Guiding a description by a Star reporter
who watched the dsgraceful 'ractices''
Geferring to duck shooting). Without de-
string at present to refer to the legal aspect
of this matter. 1 would like to ask whether
it should be considered disgraceful for a
poor man to slaughter ducks to sell for
food. The manning or killing of any SEN
tient being is a cruel thing. To obtain food
for human beings the killing Is justfiable;
but is it justifiable when the only object is
so-called sport or pleasure? The Star re-
porter says, The river Is being ravaged of
its wild fowl and one of the best sports e.
stroyed." Is any sport Of this kind really
good? Hunting for amusement causes much
unnecessary suffering. How can such sport
be considered good? If people must hunt
why not be fashionable and follow the
paper chase or the aniseed bag? In that
way nothing Is ever hurt except a hunter.
If that sort Of hunting Is not sufficiently
exciting, then hunt tiger, or a bear, or
some other animal that can fight back. Do
not attack a poor timd little rabbit, or a
fluttering bird unless driven to it by the
savage instinct Of hunger.
THOMAS W. GILMER.
