MISS BERTHA PRICE GIVES RECITAL.
COmpIimented on Her Junior PianOfOrte Re-
cital at WOman's College, Frederick, Nd.

Saturday evening, March 18th, the
first of the series of individual recitals
at Woman's College, Frederick, Md,
was given by Miss Bertha J. Price, of
Smyrna Delaware; pupil of Miss Mar
garet Upcraft, of the Conservatory"
says the Frederick NeiOS. ''The great
est feature of Miss Prices recital, was
the first movement of Godard's A Ma
ior Concerto. The young lady did ex-
ceedingly we'll in this, and gave to the
composition better Interpretation than
perhaps to any of the other numbers.
1t is magnificent piece of work, and
we'll worth the study of any pianist.
The orchestral parts to the concerto
were played on a second piano by Miss
Upcraft.
'Miss Price also excelled in Liszt
arrangement of one of Mendelssohn's
songs. The player surely has the art
of pianissmo work. Her touch at times
was as soft and sympathetic as a Won
! Bulow, and in no number did this ac-
complishment show to better advan-
tage than in the Dennee Romance.
On the whole, the Recital was very
much enjoyed aud every one seemed
to regret its brevity." The program
was as follows:
Mozart "Fantasie c Minor.
Mendelssohn-Lszt Songs Brigh
Pinions,'

-"ROmance.
Bendel-"Spinning Wheel"

UNIONS INSIST ON MAJORITY RULE.
Union Republicans will not fall into Trap
Offered by Regulars but Insist on Hold
ing Common County Primaries.

The Union Republican State Commit
tee met in Wilmington VI Ondav and
considered the Regular Republican
Legislators proposition for the settle
ment of the United States Senatorial
fight. The Regulars had named 10
persons in Kent and Sussex counties
from whom they offered to support one
for the senatorship, and they had suS--
gested that the Union Republicans
name 10 persons from New Castle
county, one of whom might be selected
for the senatorship. The Union COM
mittee did not assent to the suggestion
of the Regulars aud their proposition
was totally rejected and it was decided
to adhere to the original proposition
made that both should unite in com
mon primaries for the selection Of de-
legates to a State convention, and
that the majority shall rule.
The communication received from
Philip @. Churchman, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
was referred TO committee of the
| Union Republicans for consideration
and at its suggestion J. Frank Alice,
chairman of the Union Republican
State Central Committee has forwarded
