ALFRED REISENAUER
POWER AT THE PLANO

Alfred Reisenauer, the German plan
ist who appears Tuesday night at the
And;torinm with the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra, made a tremendous NJ
at his first concert in Phlladelpnla iasI
month. According to the press OF tnat
city he revealed great genius IN me
Beethoven concerto. He is one Of the
very best among the leading p1anlsts OF
the day. ,, 80.
Riesenauer was one Of List g favor
tie pupils and has been known in Europe
for years as piano virtuoso OF the hrst
rank, He is also regarded as an inter
prefer Of exceptional power and magne-
tism. He is far ahead Of rivals in that
his repertoire is practically without
limit and is always ready for concert
use at any moment.
The artists fingers are most master
full and most independent, according to
his critics. He has wrists like tenn
pered steel. They yield like q good
Blade, tho powerful: His tone is warm
and full blooded. His rhythm is clean
and just. His technical equipment is
Of today and also Of yesterday.
With the support of Herr Riesenauer
the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra s
second concert, Dec. 49, promises to be
up to the high standard set at the last
concert. Hugo Herrmany who played at
the last concert, said that the orchestra
was a wonderful organization, and he
reiterated all the kind things he
had had to say following the rehearsal
concerning the conductorship Of Emil
OberhOffer III 4.

New York, Dec. 9.--Free transporter
tion may soon be entirely abolished on
all railroads, members Of the Trunk
Line association, as a result Of the
movement started by the New York
Central, Pennsylvania and Reading
systems, and followed by the Norfolk
& Western in the issuance Of an
nouncements that the giving of passes
over their lines would be discontinued
at the close Of the year. d. - :.
The Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern also. will join in the "no pass -
crusade, word having been received
that President Truesdale has decided
to follow the example of the other
roads in the matter. On these roads,
after the first Of the year, passes will
be given only to employees for use j: in
the business Of the companies, while
all other persons, state, federal and
local officials, shippers and the large
aggregation Of other classes Of dead
heads, will be compelled to pay fares
or walk. 5
The executive committee Of the
Trunk Line association, which meets IN
this city next week, will take up the
matter and it is thought probable that
action may be taken looking to the
abolition Of free transportation on all
the roads embraced in the association

FOR THE NEW ORGAN

The organ fund for the new organ to
be installed in ST. Paul's Lutheran
church, received a notable addition last
evening from the concert given for
that purpose in the old edifce. There
was a large audience present, which
completely filled the church,. the occa-
sion being rendered more impressive
from the fact that this is the last en-
tertainment to be given in the old
church. The new building will be occu-
pied a week from tomorrow.
The program was long, varied and
interesting one. The Svea male chorus
made its initial appearance this year
and was heartily received. A good
orchestra rendered excellent music in
an excellent manner. The ladies
chorus and the church choir were also
in good form and sang well. The solo
lists on this occasion were Misses Mamie
