MATINEE PROGRAMME.
Mrs. Furbeck, of Chicago, Scores the
Hit of the Afternoon.

"A short but very attractive programme
was given at the matinee concert OF the
festival yesterday afternoon, The audience,
augmented by the presence of nearly all
of the chorus singers (there were no choral
numbers given) was of good size and the
scene In the auditorium was made pic
turesque by the pretty appearance of the
many women and children in light spring
gowns.
The only vocal star of the programme
was Mrs. Sue Harrington Furbeck, young
contralto from Chicago, of handsome per-
sonality and possessing very rich and
colorful voice. She was first heard in the
popular 'Habanera from Carmen"
singing with orchestral accompaniment,
and although the vocal numbers of Bizetss
passionate operate work are never heard
to their best advantage when sung from
the concert platform, Mrs. Furbeck gave
very satisfactory rendition of the num-
Der and was enthusiastically applauded.
AS an encore selection she sang the ballad,
Bon Jour, Susanna" by DevrieS, giving
this in a very pleasing way. Later in the
programme she made her second appear
ance rendering little group song-"The
Pilgrim Song of Tchalkowsky, Batten's
musical setting of the charming poem,
The Sweetest Flower that Grows" and
all of these delightful pieces, the first two
of them very tender and sweet and the
last a joyous song of spring she was at her
best.
Mrs. Furbecks piano Accomplishments
for these numbers were beautifully played
by w. c. Z. Seeboeck. Mr.. Seeboeck is a
pianist with a gift for the playing of &C.
compartments, his reading of the scores
being very sympathetic He is certainly
not a concert instrumentalist however, as
was shown when he took the place on the
programme of Mrs. Clara Murray, the
harpist, who could not appear on account
of illness. Mr.. Seeboeck, acting as sub
stitute, gave four compositions of his own
for the piano-all of them descriptive
pieces of the most fragmentary nature.
we'll suited 10 rendition in drawing room,
but hardly adaptable TO the con-
cert stage. The first three of
the group were little sketches"
from Mr. Seeboeck's Music of Nature"
entitled respectively 1.-The Rainbow" But
terfiy" and THE Frog Pond while the
fourth was an original minuet. Their COM
poser and interpreter played them they
are meant to be played-daintily and SYM
pathetically-but il is doubtful If the peo-
pie in the rear seats of the theater could
get the benefit of the odd little compost

from the ivory keys. Mr.. Seeboecks quaint
musical ideas and his style of giving them
expression belong to the drawing room, but

A Friend Says There Is No Doubt as to
His Position-Keach'sT Troubles.


Joseph E. Bell is to be a candidate for
mayor One of his intimate friends said
yesterday there was no doubt about it,.
and he went so far as to say this was prob
ably an understood thing between the Tag
CART and Reach elements before the pri-
maries. Reach, he said was to have the
Craftsmanship and Taggart man the nom
ination. For this reason any announce
ment from Bell would be delayed until
the time for the primaries for the nominat-
ing convention was fixed. Both Mr.. Bell
and Reach decline to talk politics at this
time.
1t was intimated during the anti-ma-
chine tight that Taggart and Reach under
stood each other and that the wizard OF
the smile would be found eventually at the
top of the heap. even if he had to be helped
there with Keach's aid. There has not been
anything yet that confirms the SUPPOSE
ton except the readiness of j. E. McCul-
Tough to enter the race. Mccullough has
been a Taggart man and the machine al
ways kept him in mind when looking over
it's list of available candidates. If Bell
is TO be a candidate also 1t begins TO look
as If the machine side would finally stand
much show TO land the main prize.
Keach's trouble Is just beginning. The
questions confronting him are many and
complex. If he adheres to his policy of
keeping the organization from all can
didates and tying himself to no candidate
then the machine has just as good. If not
a better, chance to win out than the anti
machine If the anti-machine Democrats
are not organized behind one candidate they
will be divided and, out of revenge, II moth
ing else, part of their support will go
to the machine candidate and nominate
him. This would defeat the whole purpose
of the anti-machine fight and create inter-
nal dissension that would surely prevent
the election of the ticket.
A A. McKain, Evans Woollen and George
j. Marott have sidestepped their mayoraity
booms by declining and joining in urging the
nomination of a representative man who
can give his time to the office. Hiram
Brown president of the Indiana Club. Is be-
ing doomed by many of the young Demo-
Gratis who find their chief difficulty is MAX
ing clear who Mr.. Brown is, as he is not
we'll known in the party.

Hugh Dougherty i'm City.

Hugh Dougherty, of Bluffton, one OF the
members of the board OF trustees OF De
PAW University. who was at the Claypool
yesterday, said that he did not believe that
the new president of De Pauw-Dr. Edwin
l.. Hughes, of Boston-would be able to as
sumo his duties at the opening Of the school
year next fall.
II understand that DIR. Hughes will be
delayed some little time in closing up his
connection with his congregation In Bos-
ton." said Mr.. Dougherty, land he will
probably not be able to come TO De Pauw
In time for the fall term. We are sorry, OF
course. but the delay will in no way inter-
fere with the work of the school. DR..
Goblin will continue in charge and DR..
Hughes Will be able TO take hold without
any difficulty in the middle of the year or
at the opening of the winter term.
