DAVID BfSPHAM RECITAL.

\ Programme of Rare Compositions for
 Tomorrow Evening-one of the
 Songs by David Stanley Smith of Yale.
 The interest in David Elephants song recital, which is set for tomorrow evening in Woolsey hall. continues to increase as the date approaches. The programme of songs for that concert announced recently is a remarkable one including, as it does.t of the great arias from Wagner, Lament of Am fortas," "Alberich's Curse from 'Das Rheingold" and the Evening Star," :" from Tannhauser; two of the wonder full monologues by the mad Vienna genius, Hugo Wolf, and 8 group of the best songs by American composers. The latter includes one of David Stanley Smiths songs, still in manuscript, The Rising of the Storm" which is said to be a well constructed and most dra- matic composition. Gilbert's Pirate Song on the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, is also on the list. It would be hard to make better programme than this which Mr. Bispham offers.
 The sale of seats is now going on at Steinert's between g and o'clock.

BIG RUSH IS COMING,
BUSY IN ALL LINES,
Holiday Crowd in Evidence
Here.
FULL STORES FOR CHRISTMAS
Americas Merchants are Having Fine
Holiday Trade Already and This VIII
Vastly increase During Week-1est
in Several Years.

Despite the cold yesterday, together
with threats of rain and snow, the hoI-
iday shoppers swarmed and soon filed
the stores where Xmas tr1x are 80 at
tractiveIy displayed. And until late
last night merchants and salespeople
were busy with the trade
Many out-9f-town shoppers came in
on the morning trains and helped to
swell the multitude in the rush for
Christmas goods. The cold was no
barrier to these buyers.
And this will be the story repeated
in Americus daily this week.
Americus' stores were never more at
tractive in their displays of holiday
goods, and prospective buyers, who
first scan the Times-Recorder's adver-
Using columns and determine their
wants, find no difficulty in holiday
shopping and making selections,
AS usual, with such an assortment to
select from purchasers are puzzled as
to what to buy
The novelties offered this year are
many and varied. For the masculine
use are unique tobacco pouches, eat
cigarette cases, Cigar holders of all
descriptions, and watch charms en-.
graved with secret society emblems
or with symbols significant of favorite
sports.
For the ladies there are pins of all
descriptions, engraved with the EN-
blems OF secret societies, patriotic or
ders and with unique carvings that
mean nothing in particular save that the
manufacturer has an eye for beauty.
Lockets, chains, fine cut glass and
other similar articles are also to be
found in large numbers and as varied
almost as the wishes of the different
shoppers.
For children the usual toys are on
hand and some new ones.
The automatic toys are In demand for
the small ones, while the dolls and doll
houses reign supreme In the girlish
hearts. Small fire engines, autos guns,
drums and bugles are displayed, as are
dolls, doll houses, miniature furnish
ings and tea sets of all descriptions.
In the big drygoods stores and in
furniture and fine crockery many sales
are being mode.
AS rule Americas merchants report
good trade even now, and this will in
crease visibly until the midnight hour
Saturday night. 1t was a little late
this season in getting started, a week
later than last year, but the crowd is
fast making up time.
In many stores here extra clerks are
employed to handle the big volume of
holiday business.

WYLIE ON TRIAL IN
A CASE OF MURDER,
Is Charged With Killing a
Girl,
BUSINESS OF SUPERIOR COURT
Fourth Week of Session Began With
Case of Joe WyIie,-Three Other
Murder Cases on Docket-Anna
Wright viii Be Tried.

In superior court yesterday the fourth
week OF the session began with the con-
tinustion of criminal business. Several
murder cases among negroes are to be
tried this week, including that of Anna
Wright, who Is charged with the muir
der of her husband.
This case will probably be taken up
today or tomorrow, though none of the
cases are assigned.
The entire session was taken up yes
terday In the trial Of Joe Wiley, charg-
ed with murder, the case growing out
of the killing of a negro girl near
Americus recently.
Wylie, is seems, gave party of the
mullet supper variety at his villa, which
was attended by Alice Walton. During
the festivities Wylie brought his mus
ket upon the firing line with the result
that the Walton danseuse played the
role of corpse next day.
The defendant pleaded that tbs shot
was feed by accident, and produced
testimony to substantiate his statement,
though the state produced evidence of
probable cause.
The case was given to the jury at q
late hour, the verdict being guilty of in :
voluntary granddaughter in the COM
mission of an unlawful act
The Anna Wright trial and that OF
two other defendants upon the same
charge will consume the greater part
OF the week, quite likely The Wight
case commands more interest than the
others, owing to the atrocious features
connected Herewith.
There will scarcely be any other jury
cases after this week, at least before
the new year.
