BARLHAM'
ORATORIO SOCIETY
GREAT INTEREST TAKEN IN
THE APPROACHING
CONCERT.
DIRECTION PROF. CHASE
A Complete Performance of Haydn's
Famous Imperial Mass, to In
clude 'Inhammatus. -

Great interest is being felt in col
lege and musical circles in the APP
preaching concert of the Earlham
Oratorio society, which is set for
sometime about the middle Of March.
It is expected by the director Of the
chorus, Prof. Chase. that the stand
ard set by the rendition last year of
The Creation will be equaled, If
not surpassed, by the work of this
year. Last year the management was
fortunate in securing some of the
best soloists In the United States and
it is believed that the quartet of
singers brought to Richmond this year
will insure even better results.
The main feature of the program
will be a complete performance of
Haydn's famous Imperial Mass; this
is considered by musicians to stand
among the very first of the great re-
ligious choral compositions and sat
isfactory rendition of it is an event.
The second part of the program will
include the Infammatus from
Rossini's Stabat Mater, by Miss
Blamere, of Chicago, and the chorus,
and the "Sanctus' from Gounod' s
Messe Sollemnelle, containing one of
the finest arrangements for tenor solo
and chorus ever written; each one of
the soloists will have an opportunity
in this half of the program to be
heard IN some great aria.
The exact time of the concert will
be announced within couple of days,
but the date is set early so as not to
conflict with the performances of the
May Festival chorus. This concert
by the Earlham society is coming to
be looked upon as an annual event
and much enthusiasm is shown among
the members of the chorus, which un-
doubtedly surpasses that of last year.

ON CHARGE OF
ENLIGHTENMENT
Sum of Money Missing at Kendall
vile and King Charged With
Taking It.

Two Panhandle detectives arrived
this morning from Kendallville, Ind,
with a warrant for the arrest of Jo-
seph W. King, on a charge Of embez-
Element. Until about two weeks ago
King was G.. r. & l. railroad opera
tor at Kendallville and was sup
posed to be an honest and good
young man. Then he suddenly left
Kendallville and came to Richmond,
where he accepted a position as
night operator at the Union station.
A few days ago it was discovered at
Kendallville that quite a sum of rail
road money was missing there and
that King must have taken it. The
night operator there is also ticket
agent and this is how King got the
money. 1t IS not definitely known
exactly how much was taken but at
all accountA it was a considerable
sum- The detectives left for Ken
dallville this afternoon with King in
charge, where he will be tried on a
charge of embezzlement.

NINE. SCHUMAN-HE

One who has heard Nine Schu-
mann-Heink, recently, says:
To commence with Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink has really a majestic
voice, and her command Of it is well
nigh perfect as her fawless execu-
ton of the two octave jump in the
famous 'Brindisi' proves In all pas
sages that lie between the natural
range of her voice her emission is
smooth, sonorous and productive Of
unfailing beauty of tone Her phras-
ing is almost invariably the perfec-
ton Of art and enunciation of the
text shows a perfect command of vo-
cahzation. These features of her
method enable her to sing such
things as the 'Brindisi' area with all
the beauty of color ever impaired to
it by an italian singer, while with
her keen intelligence, her glowing
temperament, her subtle humor and
her wlnsome personality enables her
to fill the hollow melody with a
wealth of vitality, unequaled by any
other singer now before the public.
She is gifted with true artistic tenn
permanent. "
This great artist is now making
her farewell concert tour in
America and she is engaged to give a
recital here on Thursday evening,
February 11ih at the Coliseum.
Though this concert is announced as
her farewell it does not mean that
she IS TO retire from the stage, but
in the future IS to devote her time
to opera solely.

IN A HORRIBLE MANNER ON
THE PANHANDLE RAIL
ROAD.
HURLED FIFTY FEET
Mr.. Wolff, the Victim, Was a Far
mer, About Sixty-Five Years
of Age.

A very shocking accident was wit

Mr.. Henry Wolff, a farmer about
sixty-fve years old. Mr.. Wolff is
very deaf and did not hear the train
coming.
He was walking with his head
down against the wind and his hat
pulled low over his eyes and the
train, suddenly rounding a curve,
struck him full and hurled him fifty
feet in the air. Every bone in the
man 5 body was broken He was lift
ed into the train and carried to Day
ton, where the train coroner held an
inquest over the dead body. No. IA
was an hour late and was striving
to make up the lost time, and the
engineer, on account of the curve,
was not able to apply the brakes
soon enough to prevent hitting the
man.
