FORMER SMYRNA BOY GIVES RECITAL
Prof. c. Virgil Gordon Ertertains au Audience
OF 1900 Music Loving People in New York
City and Wins UnstInted Praise.

New YORK, Nov. PA few evenings
ago 1 attended a planoforte recital
given by Prof. c. Virgil Gordon at the
Woman's Metropolitan Temple. this
city. There were over twelve hundred
music loving people in the audience.
Mr.. Gordon came to New York few
years ago stranger, and for him to
draw an audience of the quality and
number as this, was a splendid testi
mony to his ability. wish his Della
ware friends could have been present
and heard this excellent program:
Smyrna times., 1904-11-16

The grace and skill with which Mr..
Gordon manipulated the keys is be-
yond words. Such wonderful technical
proficiency; such speed and lightuess
and brilliancy, ppp's and fff's and every
tone-shade between, without falter:
Clear as ether; no smearing; no shut
fling; no stammering; no loud, jang-
ling inarticulate notes. A glitterin g
string of tones; diamonds. His com
mand of the softer voices of the piano,
of rare and delicate subtelty, that
never loses its clearness and warmth.
He infuses that beautiful lyric feeling
that catches the moods of Chopin and
holds them undistOrted and unforced.
He weaves a web of tones that are ex-
quisite in the clear softness of their
threads. The tones fell on the ear as
clear and rounded as drops fall on the
eye. They glinted with the most deli
cate tints. 1t was the beauty of sound id
ealized and rarefed. W hat beautiful
and harmonious pictures he revealed
to us. He awoke memories of our
childhood and in the out galleries OF
our mind feasted scenes of long ago.
Youare boy again, with a heart full
of JOY lying on the banks of Lake
Como. You hear the twitter of the
birds and the ripple of water as the
tiny waves caress the shore; you see {
pretty landscape dotted here and there
with orchards, robed in pink and whit
blossoms; you see the old school house
and church steeples standing out cleal
and distinct against the blue beyond
a lark flashes up toward the great
dome above like stray gleam of sun
light and his sweet melodious sons
comes trembling down to you; yor
awake and Mr.. Gordon is bowling t,
the ap plause of his delighted audience

Out of Thousands of Union

Chicago, July 18.-There is little Il
any change In the situation Of the meat
packers strike here. With Michael J
Donnelly, the strikers leader, In St
Louis looking after that end of the eth.
Gully. there Is no effort here to renew
the peace negotiations which lasted
through three days last week and were
terminated without results. Whether
another attempt to reach an adjust
ment Of the controversy by arbitra-
ton will be made is problematic, as
the packers. believing they have the
better Of the argument, are little In
clined to offer any concessions to the
strikers One thing Is certain, the
packers say, and that is that they will
not recede from the position they as
sumed In last weeks conferences and
that the strikers will have to conform
TO the employers uftimatum before
any further peace plans looking to q
settlement by arbitration will be sue
cessful. To add to the packers deter
mination to stand firm Is the fact that
they have steadily increased their
working force at the plants by the en-
ploymert Of outside workmen Under
these conditions the PACKERS have as
sumed a more independent attitude and
are more determined than YER that
they and not the strikers shall dictate
the terms on which the controversy
shall be arbitrated As the strikers
declare that they conceded every point
possible In last weeks negotiations,
there Is little likelihood that any fur
Their conferences for the present, at
least, would amount to much toward
a satisfactory settlement OF the strike
The point to the whole question Of
arbitration Is the reinstatement Of the
strikers Mr.. Donnelly waived every
other demand he had made and agreed
to order the men back to work, leav-
ing the adjustment Of all differences
to arbitration. II the employers would
take back all the strikers In a body.
This the packers refused to do, main
that they had hired many new
workmen since the strike whom they
could not discharge. They promised.
however, to take back the old employees
IS rapidly as possible and tn the order
which their applications were fled.

A GAME OF SEE-SAW.
Packers and Union Men Bombard
Each Other with Propositions.
HITCH OVER TREATMENT OF STRIKERS
The Onion Demands That Every Man
VINO Went Out he Taken Back
d Before Agreement to Arbi-
trate IL Considered.

Chicago, July 15.-The strike which
has demoralized the packing industry
throughout the country has not yet
been settled, but there are indications
that II will soon end by the adjustment
OF the difficulties by arbitration. After
a conference which lasted all Of the
afternoon between representatives of
the packers and the officials of the
unions, the employers are waiting for
an answer to a counter proposition
which they submitted to Michael ].
Donnelly in reply to a statement Of
the terms upon which he would be will
ing to make a settlement. Mr.. DON
nelly stated that the counter PROPOSE
ton Of the packers will be rejected
and that he will in turn present q
counter proposition.
The hitch In the negotiations Is over
the reinstatement of the strikers.
The union demands that every man
who vent on strike shall be given his
old place before an agreement to arbi-
trate will be considered. The packers
declare that they will retain the men
they have employed since the strike
and will take back the old men in the
order In which they file applications
for their old positions.
While the peace negotiations are in
progress additional preparations are
beoins made by the packers at the
yards for a long siege. The packers,
bearing that efforts are being made
to indOoe the railroad men who are
members Of unions to refuse to handle
supplies for the plants where the men
are ON strike, were busy all day put
ting In great stocks Of coal, should the
railroads attempts to stop their sup
ply.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 15.-Accord-
ing to the figures of the packers $50
cattle were killed in Kansas City
Thursday, or 80 more than enough to
supply the city in beef for one day.
The packing houses In the west bot
toms we're working more men Thurs
day than at any time since the strike
began, according to the statement of
the packers, Armour's killed 300 cat
tie and 1900 hogs. This is nearly
doubA the output of the day before.

Philadelphia, July 1&-For the first
time in years the West Philadelphia
ahattoir was in operation Sunday be-
Cause Of the threatened scarcity Of
meat due TO the Chicago strike. Dur
ing the day 500 head Of cattle were
slaughtered by independent dealers of
this city. The independents declare
they can take care of the entire city.
There is plenty Of i've stock in sight
but prices have been advanced about
two cents. Recruiting Offices were
open here yesterday for the purpose Of

ployers and the authorities President
Dounelly addressed a mass meeting Of
strikers in East St Louis city hall.
Several thousand men were unable TO
find admittance owing to the great
crowd. President Donnelly received
an ovation when he stepped on to the
platform. At its conclusion he said:
I'VE shall never again enter into arbi-
tration unless every man, woman and
child who has been discharged or who
is ont on strike has been returned to
their former positions without pretu-
dice," said ME- Donneily referring to
the sundered negotiations "This
