pADEREWSKI HERE TONIGHT.
The Great Pianist to Appear at the Acad-
emy.

Paderewski plays at the Academy to-
night A telegram received from WASH
ington last night by Mr.. Pizzini said:
Hundreds were turned away from the
Paderewski recital at the Columbia Thea
tire to-day. Ali records were broken, the
police stopping the sale of tickets.
The same enthusiasm follows the great
pianist wherever he plays, and his fare
well to Richmond will be no whit less
demonstrative than elsewhere. The sale
of seats has been very large, though
some seats are still left at the store OF
Walter D. Moses & Company.
The artist is so well known In Rich
mond, having played here twice before
and so much has been written ABOUT ms
coming. that nothing can be added at this
time Paderewski is the greatest pianist
the world has ever known, and Rich
mond. with the other favored cities Of
America, will take a reluctant farewell
of this wonderful artist who has SO stirred
the pulses of his audiences of to-day: and
now only retires to devote himself to
composition that he may hand down to
the ages some of that grace and charm
that IS known and recognized as trans
cendant in the art centers Of the world

VIEWS OF Mr.. TURPIN.
Tells How He Thinks Primaries Should Be
Conducted.

A representative of The Times who
called to see president W. M TurIin. of
the Board of Aldermen. yesterday after
noon, found that that gentleman had been
turning over in his mind ways and means
for facilitating the mechanical features
OF the approaching primary election.
The net result is a. very valuable and
practical suggestion. which can best be
put in Mr. Turpfn's own words.
"A well grounded cause Of complaint"
said he, has for a year existed with re-
gard to our primaries, and that is the
enormous labor devolved upon the cleo
ton officers in the counting of ballots
after they have been for many hours at
tending the casting of the same. In
times past great delay has occurred in
reporting the returns to the Central COM
mittee,-a delay, in more than one in
stance. until the day after the election.
This has given rise to serious fault-llnd-
ing
''WelI, what do you suGSesi?'
'eNot "a complete remedy. but an aneli-
Grafton of conditions Ny suggestion will
aptly fit the next primary, which promises
to be one OF the largest we have ever
known. Our Central Committee always
fixes and duly advertscs a day and an
hour after which none can enter his
name as a candidate for any office to he
voted for at the primary. If after the
appointed hour there be, for example.
one candidate only for City Collector. why
should not the committee declare him the
nominee Of the varty? If there DC only
five candidates for The Common Council
5n a. given ward. why not declare them
tho candidates of the party? Now. note
the saving of labor and time. I take II
that, perhaps. for five of the general
Offices there will be no contest: IL these
five candidates must be voted for at the
primary and there arc 1900 votes cast.
the election officers will have to make
450oo useless checks in casting up the
Ballots for these five candidates. Again,
ST in any ward there be only one cand-
date for the only vacancy for Alderman.
why waste time in checking off his ball
lots, which may sum ur 100 or 1900.
"If the Central Committee adopts this
suggestion, it would be desirable to make
an explicit statement on the ballot that
A being the only candidate for
office and 3, being the only candidate
for Alderman A and are declared the
official candidates of the party, and the
voter pledges himself to vote for such.
tust as he pledges himself in the usual
way to abide the results Of the primary.
81 venture the assertion that if some
such plan be sanctioned by the commit
Zee and 5000 votes are cast, there will
TIE saving to tile election officers Of
over 100000 Checks which is an entirely
md absolutely useless waste of time. In
many of the large English cities a plan
similar to this is in use at their regular
legalized elections

Nation, she laughed heartily over the

guided and that her efforts TO reform

Lady Somerset handled. the question

England" said Lady Somerset. Il am
really ashamed to tell the American
people in what a deplorable state the
United Kingdom is. 1t has become a
nation of drunkards. 1t seems hope
less to work for its reformation. In
the army alone. the very place where
one would expect TO find it, less spirits
are used than formerly.
"The increase in intOxicatiO at

tion was four men TO one woman. Now
il is three women TO one man.
"Why is it? Wen, one of the chief
reasons is that there has been too
much privacy about the public houses
of late, and women are now able to go
to any of them without being seen by
the public.
THE increase in drink among women
has naturally made a great increase in
crime. The reason is apparent. Wom-

nervous in drink than men. and in this

her husbands castle at Fursten-
stein, she is immensely popular
with the German people, who, on
account of her delicate beauty,
have named her the fairy prin-
cess" The kaiser dOtes on her. As
soon as he heard that she was to have
a stall at the coronation baZar his
majesty sent her over particularly
choice lot Of German chinaWare TO be
sold, and when William lis yacht, Me-
teOr, was at COWes last autumn, the
princess and her husband were invited
to use her as if she were their own.
Both the kaiser and King Edward
wanted to be godfather to the princess
only son, 50 the two mOnarchs Cd
vided the honor. and the proud mother
recompensed them by naming her baby
boy Wilhelm Albert Edward.
The princess, as a true English girl,
both hunts and boats well. Though
born without a title. she was by no
means overwhelmed by the rank
brought to her by her marriage, for
she has always been especially proud
of her ancestry. On her fathers side
she traces her pedigree straight back
to Henry III. of England. while on
that Of her mother. who was Mary Fitz-
Patrick. granddaughter of the marquis
of Headford, the princess claims de-
cent from the Celtic kings, who. as she
sayIy says. "were lording it in Great
Britain when German princelings were
in the robber baron stage"
The family of Prince Henry, who,
by the way. is almost as fond as his wife
of being in England. is. however, of
great antiquity. its present head being
the fifteenth Of his line. It's history
deals with conquest and diplomacy in

PRINCESS OF PLESS.
Considered by Many the Handsom-
est Woman in Europe.
One Of tn Most Popular Ladies at the
Courts of England, Germany
and Austria-COmes OF Fa-
nous Ancestry.

With one accord Princess Henry of
Pless has been hailed as the belle of
the last season in London. The sister
in-law of Lady Randolph Churchill and
own sister OF the handsome young
duchess of Westminster, with her
masses of light golden hair, her blue
eyes and superb figure, divided with
the duchess of Marlborough honorS at
the recent iAnglo-American coronation
bazar. As one of the intimate friends
of King Edward and Queen Alex
andra, as well as on account of her
beauty, she was one of the most court
ed women at the different royal soirees
held during the season, and ordinarily
unbending London hostesses wed with
each other to secure her presence at
their balls and receptions.
Although the princess is the wife Of
a German nObleman-she married
Prince Henry in lS9l-and is as wei
come a guest at the kaiser's court as at
that Of Edward VII, she spends by far
the greater part of the year in her
native land She is the eldest daugh-
ter of Col. CORVALLIS West and his
handsome wife, all of whose children
have made brilliant matches.
The duke of Westminster, who chose
as his duchess Princess Henry's young
eT sister, Sheila, is, of course, the great
est land owner in London. and one of
the richest men in England. The fam
lily was not over-pleased when George
Cornwallis West, after being wounded
in South Africa and nursed back to
health on the Maine by Lady Randolph
Churchill, decided to marry his titled
attendant. Their objections were, how
ever. made only on account of the diff
ference in age of the parties" and
the union seems TO be happy one.

SEEN IN THE STORES.

Mauve and pink furniture is one OF
the latest artistic fancies-mauve
wood, pink, satin, brocade and cur
tains shot with both eoLors and figured
with flowers.
Pretty nut bowls of wood, decorated
with burnt woodwork and resting on
three short supports, are not only de-
girable but seem particularly adapted
to the use intended.
One of the prettiest plants for home
decoration shown by the florists is q
begonia with delicate pale pink blooms
that intermingle with the dark-gresn
kAves in a way that delights the eye.
The newest side comb IS the horse
shoe comb and comes in light and dark
tortoise shell. Then there are combs
with rope-coiled tops and jeweled
evening combs that cost a small for
tune.
Superstitions concerning the opal
have evidently died a natural death, if
one may judge from the many that
are shown. The demand for this lovely
stone is steady, and though the Huns
garian Opals are the finest, many OF
lesser value are used as settings for
brooches, rings, hatpins and stickpina
and are much sought.
IT is particularly noticeable in the
china shops that the Old-tashioned
white china with gilt is becoming pop
ular. These sets are almogS duplicates
of the oId7fashioned "tea sets" Of our
grandmothers' early days, and come Ia
the old-fashioned shapes, made of fine
clear ware. OF course this ware is
costly, and therefore the woman who
has retained as a family heirloom her
grandmother's set IS fortunate.
