SMOOTH GAME.
Young Woman Presents Bogus Order ard
Draws BOYS Pay.

What is. seemingly a very smooth game,
perpetrated by young woman on a large
manufacturing plant in this city last
Friday, by which she drew the weeks
pay Of two young men employed at the
plant, has come to light.
The young woman claimed to be a sis
ter of the boys and to have been Instruct
ed by their mother to draw their pay.
She presented herself at the paymaster's
Office shortly before the hour for pay
ing off. when she was told that she could
not get the money without Il written
order from the mother. whereupon she
departed. but returned in a few minutes
with a note supposed to have been writ
ten by the boys mother. Without fur
Their investigation the money was turned
over to her, amounting to si3.35, and the
supposed sister disappeared
The game was revealed a few minutes
later when the boys came forward for
their weeks salary. They were informed
by the paymaster that their sister Annie
had just drawn the money on an order
from their mother whereupon they in
formed the gentleman that their mother
was dead, and for their sister Annie,
they didn't have one.
The woman seemed to know the boys
quite well, and in the note she presented
used their names correctly. and stated
that they lived in Manchester. as they
do. She gave an address which does not
appear in the directory.

THE CONCERT BY HElNK.
Rich Treat in stcr. for Those Who Hear Him
To-i,orrow Night.

The distinguished German SINGER
pianist and composer, Heink. will give
a concert. to which the public has looked
forward with interest; at the Y. NJ. e A.
Hall Tomorrow night at $50 O'CLOCK.
Heink has recently appeared IN several
other Virginia cities, and the PETERSBURG
Index-Appeal says of his concert there:
The concert last night by Herr Felix
Helix in the chapel of the Southern Fee
male College was thoroughly enjoyed by
a large and enthusiastic audience. 1t Is
rare to FIND a. pianist of distinguished
ability who is gifted also with voice
that enables him to tighten the programme
with songs from English favorites TO
German lieder. Another interesting feat-
tre of the concert was the rendition OF
the pianist's own compositions, Whlch
were melodious and pleasing.
The impression that remains after hear
ing Mr.. Heink is that he is one that Will
go far as a pianist. His technique IS
magnificent and his rendition OF the two
! classical piano numbers, Schumanns 10
| nance in F sharp major ana List s
| Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 6. was worthy
OF high praise. It was a matter of re-
gret to many of his audience that he old
| not devote q larger part of the concert
| to such music. but there can be no doubt
| that the lighter piano numbers and the
numerous songs, which he gave with
striking effect, gave unstinted pleasure to
| his hearers.
The Minuet in 4 major. and the other
| two piano solos of his own composition,
Remembrance and Marche Miitaire, We're
very bright and pleasing, and the pianist
responded to an encore by playing Men
| delssohn's Spring Song, which was one of
the gems of the evening.
! The German lieder. Schumann's Ich
| grolle NIGHT and Bohm's Define bIauen
| Augen and Molloy's rolicking song,
Thursday, with Richardson's Loves
| Dilemma" gave a variety and brightness
| that were most enjoyable. Herr Heinks
! rendition of Dudley Bucks when the
| Heart Is Young was especially interest
| ing, as he has been associated with the
composer ana could thus give an anthem
| tic rendition of the song.
His voice has a pleasing quality and
shows excellent training, but it is as a
| serious pianist in the realm of classical
| music that he IS fitted to excel.
