Our music lovers had a chance
of a life time Thursday evening in
hearing Prof. Fery Rinardy, who
was for nine years court violinist
of the Austrian Emperor, at the
concert at Railway Club hall.

the worlds greatest musicians,
and with his thirty years ex-
perience makes him master of
the art of Drawing the Bow"
He is related to some of the
wealthiest families in Austria
and comes from a great family
of Hungarian musicians. At
this concert he played some Of
the most difficult as well as
some of the best classical music
known to the musical world.
On the program with Prof. Rim
crdy were Mr.. George Anderson
who was heartily enchOred for bis
singing, and Mr.. Herbert Crippen
and Mrs. F. L. Carson who were

Wonderful Little Musicians.

Wonderful little musicians, -
said Prof. Ferry Rlnardy in speak
ing of the Oliver sisters.
Prof. Rinardy is a specialist in
teaching violin music and gave
the Oliver sisters a course in
music. He is a great musician
and has played with some of the
worlds greatest specialists. He
was for nine years court violin
ist of the Austrian emperor, him.
self being a Hungarian. For
fifteen years he used a violin that
cost $50, 900, one of TIE worlds
finest Italian violins.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver
learned of Prof. Rinardy being
in Alamogordo they at once en-
ployed him to teach their chill
dren. Upon hearing the girls
play he said, Il was surprised
| had to hold my breath" After
the girls finished the lessons un-
der the professor he stated that
he could teach them no more as
they knew his system and it
would be useless to give them
further training. He stated that
Miss Avery was thorougly COM
petent to teach and he advised
that she go to teaching.
The professor paid a high tri-
butte to Mrs. Oliver who is taking
SO much care of her children
and that Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver are
seeing to it that they get the
very best musical training that
money can procure. ''They are
truly little wonders,n said pro-
fessor, 'and in all my thirty
years of experience in teaching

Commercial Disaster Is

Washington, April 2T.-Secre.
tary Metcalf, who went to San
Francisco as representative OF
the National Administration with
instruments from the President
to report TO him regarding the
conditions in the stricken city
as he should find them, has wired
the President a complete sum-
mary of the situation. He thinks
the loss of life will not exceed
300, the injured being about
1000. The loss to the Govern
ment buildings is not so heavy
as the early reports indicated.
Secretary Metcalf says, how
ever, that the industrial and
commercial losses are appalling.
There is no suffering from lack
of provisions or water. Every
thing considered, the health of
of the people is excellent. The
people are confident and hopeful.
The Secretary recommends
that Congress make appropria-
tions at once for the repair and
reconstruction of Government
buildings. q ala4a

Only on one occasion has n British
force offered terms amounting to sur
render before the c0mmencement OF an
action. but this Is what the Black
Prince felt himself obliged to do by the
overwhelming forces Of the French be-
fore the battle Of Poitiers. SO certain
did he consider defeat TO be that he

der he had taken. disband the greater
part of his force pnd give an under
taking not TO fight against the French
for seven years, and 50 confident were
the French that they refused these
terms. The result was one Of the most
brilliant victories that adOrn the Brit
ish arms.
In modern times the victory Of An
buera, in the penlnsular war. is another
instance OF apparent defeat being turn
ed into victory. After the charge Of the
French hHssars and Polish Iaheers all
seemed lost Ammunition was failing.
a deep gully prevented the use Of the
bnyOnet. and Beresford was preparing
for retreat when the valor of Colonel
Hardinge saved the day. The battle,
which lasted only four hours. was the
scchs OF Terrible carnage, and when II

TOWN IS N RUINS
Prosperous Little Town Of Belle
vus Texas, Is Demolished By
Pierce Tornado.


Bellevue, Tex, April IT,
Thirteen persons were killed,
ten were injured and property
estimated to have been worth
anywhere from $500, 900 to $500, I.
900 was destroyed by the cyclone
which struck this city yesterday
evening about 6so'clock. -
For many minutes previous to
the terrific blow a grim portent
of disaster was visible on the
horizon and most of the inhabit-
ants had time to seek the shelter
of storm cellars. Then like a
demon on mission of vengeance
the whirlipg atmosphere shot
across the town, leaving behind
nothing but debris and the dead
and the MANNED.
The destruction could hardly
have been more complete. Al
though many of the structures
were very substantial, being of
brick and stone, not one escaped
demolition; and fire which
sprang up amid the rnins soon
destroyed the debris. Today
Bellevue can not boast of single
store or house. The cyclone
made a clean sweep and the
path it left can be traced far be-
yond the corporate limits as
plainly as ifit were a we'll trav-
eled country road.
The inhabitants were left des-
titute, but daylight had not
come before special relief trains
began to reach here from the
surrounding towns. They brought
food, clothing and money. The
Mayor of Henrietta notified the
merchants of his place that he
must have contributions, and he
brought drays and took what he
wanted, saying he would stand
responsible for the cost. The
supplies were loaded on a special
train and hurried to this place.
But along with what the Mayor
secured the merchants them
selves sent as much more and
applauded theMayor for his act.
During the cyclone one man
was struck in the side by piece
of flying scantling. 1t required
the united efforts Of three strong
men to pull it,from his body.
This afternoon a young mother
with despair written on every
feature appeared. Little ones
toddled at her heels and she
held in her arms a two-month-
old babe. The babes head was
bruised and battered and in the
chest was a cruel wound made
bya piece of scantling.
Tonight all that remains of
Bellevue is smoldering ruins. Al
pail of BLUSH white smoke hangs
over everything Across the rail-
road, near where the depot once
stood, is tent in which the sur
vivors are fed.
