The recital given at the Methodist

Lowe, violinist and Miss Mildred
Ezell, all of Nashville, was
one of the most delightful musical
treats Columbia people have enjoyed
in some time. The rooms were filled
with an appreciative and cultured aud'
fence and gave evidence of their APP
probation by liberal applause, which
was well deserved. Miss Eel was
the first on the program, and gave

with sweet expression. Her longest

Passing up the lower West Side one
cannot but notice the immense Cen
trail Hudson freight depot. covering
old st. Johns park, an area of four
acres Commodore Vanderbilt paid a
half million for this plot, which is
now worth four times its cost. and is
rapidly increasing in value. The de-
pot is graccd by colossal statue of
the commodore, which in q proper
place would have a fine effect, but the
nCighborhood is now only visited by
clerks and cartmcn, and il seems al
most sad to see him alone in his glory.
At the same time the commodore
planned the Grand Central depot,
which since his death. has been much
enlarged and covers greater area
than even the freight house, the pre-
else measurement being four and
three quarter acres, with two acres OF
glass roof. In connection with this
great work was the sinking of the
track and also the depression of the
yard. which required the destruction
of $50 buildings. including the Wom.
ans hospital. also an orphan asylum
and the dcpots of two express com.
panies The railroad improvements
now progressing in this vicinity will
cost more than the whole New York
Central line as originally finished

Prof Brandcr Matthews, head of
the board of educators which has
been formed to introduce changes in
spelling, expressed himself to his
classes i'm Columbia as pleased with
the way the announcement has been
received He said he had expected
that the board would be met by a
storm OF criticism and dissent Prof
Matthews said that ii was an atrocious
inconsistency that the most practical
people in the world should have the
worst spelling. 1--WE may not do a
great deal" he added, but at any
rate we will have the dictionaries on
our side. and will he able to change

pOrary secretary of the simpliiiCd

to regulate spelling that is the
word uscd-is by campaign of odu-
cation rather than by forcing changes
on the public. Some agency has
been needed to check the continuing
CIor in our spelling he said. we
hope that our board will prove to he
this agency. We should place spell

I'm New York Town" the latest of
Hurtig Il SCamon's musical comedy
sensations, comes to the Globe this
week, beginning Monday matinee.
March 10. AS the name of the spec
taClc indicates, the plot deals oXClu-
siycly with bits from the metropolis.
Being a musical novelty Of unusual
splendor, I'm New York Town" is
blended with those fascinating en-
scmblcs which are not only of an en-
chanting mClodiouS character hut
which offer SO many bcwitching siuI-
ations that the whole production
sooner resemble favoritc sites from
fairNland than realistic portrayals of
metropolitan quarters.
This weeks attraction at the Ros.
ton Grand Opera House is A. II.
Woods latest and greatest produc.
ton, Tracked Around the World.
AS might be inferred from the title.
the play gives the author n wide
scope and an opportunity TO furnish
trSt-class spectacular as well as
melodramatic play There are enough
sensational features consistently
crowded into this melodrama To sup.
ply half dozen Of the usual melodra.
matte productions, so-called.
Judging by the interest shown
and the tremendous sensation he has
! created, IL is no small wonder that
! the Keith management have decided
to retain Houdni. the king OF the
handouts for the week of March 10
| Seldom is II that an act is held over
at this popular playhouse for more
| than two weeks, and when one is. il
| Is safe To say that the interest Gre
ated. as shown by patronage by the
| amusement-seeking public hero
! abouts, is ,she reason for continuing
| the attraction. Iloudinl is such a yer
satile artist that one hardly knows
what next to expect from him.

appropriation for this purpose which
| they will report 10 congress.
Strong efforts were made by Massa-
/ chusetts congressman and leading
| representatives Of Boston's CONNER
| cal interests 10 show the~visitors the
absolute necessity of having the Gus
| tom house and appraiser S stores some
where near the present site, and 10
discourage any idea that either might
| be moved TO East Boston or to any
other site remote from the business
centre. This is now regarded as the
crux of the situation. yor il will make
a wide difference in the size of the
appropriation whether the site be in
East Boston or in state street or vi
cinity.
The razing OF buildings on historic
sites in Boston seems 70 be taking
the attention Of not only investors,
but also of large corporations. In the
past few years many Of the most
prominent buildings having historic
connections have undergone changes,
one reason being that the sites are
becoming so valuable that the old
buildings standing thereon were un-
able TO give reasonable returns.
The purchases from time 10 time
by the John Hancock Mutual Life in
surancc company for the purpose OF
filling out the block on Federal, Dew,
onshire and Franklin streets. have
been with view TO the construction
Of larger quarters.
The site Of the building now com
ing down was first brought to the at
tention Of the public by the erection
Of what was known as the old Fed
cral street theatre. This was in 1893,
the structure being ready for the pub
lie on Feb. 3, 1894. a coincidence
in connection with this building was
the fact that il was destroyed by
fire on Feb. 2, 1898, and rebuilt later
i'm the same year. The architect was
Charles Bulfnch, who at that time
was considered one of the greatest of
his profession i'm the United States.
On oct 2S. 1898, the Federal street
theatre was once more open to the
public.
The property then frontcd on Fed
cral street. and extended back on
Franklin street To what, i'm those
days, was known as Old Theatre al
ley, now DcvonshirC street. Starting
with the name of Federal street the
atre,, It ran under this name until
1905. when il was changed to the
Boston theatre, and later. in 1923. to
the Old Drury, once more being
changed in 1888 to the OdcOn.
II was i'm this theatre that occurred,
on Dec. -, 1925, wha. has gone down
in history as the "Koan riot when
Edmund Kcan was refused an audi
cnce, he having four years previously
refused TO play before what he re-
garded as a thin house
When he attempted to apologize
the nit would not have il and in con
sequence, destruction of the furni.
ture was begun, many jumping from
the upper windows to escape the fury
Of the mob. -

The authorities Of this city have
again started in on an anti-spitting
crusade, having arrested several per
sons i'm the lObbics of theatres. These
intermittent crusades accomplish
some good, because everything helps
that tends to educate the public as to
the necessity for cleanliness in pub
lie places and 60 the danger attach
ing to this dirty habit of splitting.
However, it is hardly fair To single
out certain theatres and arrest men
there when the public conveyanccS
and hundreds of other places show
more nagrant violations of the stat
utcs. There is a fast growing public
sentiment among all classes Of the
people, due to the additional amount
Of information generally circulated
among our people on the question of
common hygienic precautions, which
has done much 10 reduce the filthy
habit of splitting. A steady and con
sistcnt enforcement Of the laws
would be the West way to carry on
this campaign.
