pleasing and her encores were strong
Dutchess Dudley was a favorite
from the moment she appeared on the
stage. Her appearance was in her
favor and her songs served to carry
forward her popularity. Her double
enchores brought Southern Melodies
and familiar airs that at once struck
home in the hearts of the audience
Probably the most popular of the
artists was Mile. Sicardi, violiniste.
She is a wonder with the sweetest of
all instruments and was applauded

his classic numbers, but sang few

Aontner artist in the company is
the accompanist, Louis Danenberg,
who gave a most entertaining piano
selection.
The only adverse criticism about
the entertainment is the noise that
was made by the boys in the back
part of the house. This should be re
medied on the part Of the manage
ment. The music is too rare a treat
to he marred in this manner.
The company has another open date
as their Amarillo engagement does
not open until Friday night. There

South Hill home of the former Tues
day afternoon, a hundred and eighty
invitations having been issued. Al
though there was large attendance,
the hours were long, from three to

natural ease of the affair was its most
noticeable characteristic and thus the
most enjoyable feature of social ev-
ent was the reward of the hostesses'
effort.
Mrs. Keebler and Mrs. Poe assisted
Mrs. Hurd and Mrs. Hamilton in re-
ceiving in the reception hall which
was decorated in potted plants, palms
ferns ani marguerites, and Mrs. N.

all shared in the delights of the punch
bowl.
In the dining room Mrs. DeBremond
Mrs. Pope and Mrs. Wilson entertain
ed the callers and Mrs. Hagerman
served tea and Mrs. Albert Pruit SER

guests. The dining room, like the par
lor and reception hall, was tastefully
decorated and here the the table was
especially attractive. The center
piece was large candelabra, surroun
ded with violets, smilax and sweet
elysium, making a pretty effect in the
trtificial light that prevaded the whole
house.
All the ladies who called had
most pleasant visit at the Hurd home.

Washington, d. c., Mar. 1.-Senator
Gallinger has introduced a bill to
raise just the salaries of the general
officers of the government to take
effect March 4, 1909. The bill pro-
poses the following salaries: Presi-
dent $4,000; Vice-President, $4,000;
Speaker of the House, $4,000; and
the Members of the Cabinet $4,000;
Senators and Representatives $500.
Washington, d. c., Mar. IA large
audience greeted Dolliver in the SEN
liver-Hepburn rate bill. His, was the
first speech made in support of the
bill.
Senator Dolliver began his speech
at 1890, Immediately after. the rou-
tine business and senator outlined the
bill pointing out wherein it amends
the existing interstate law saying
that after all the changes were com
paratively few. Instead Of updermin
ing the law it fortifies it, he said and
declared if the present law was treat
ed with reverence and sanctity it de-
served, the American people would
have approached the subject in a fran
of mind different from that which now
prevails.
Dolliver said that the railroads are
unable to protect themselves against
fragrant abuses of the private car com
panies under Section 13 of the pres
ent law. He had not favored the abo
lition of these cars and did believe
the car companies should be regulated
by making responsible railroad COM
panies enjoined; enjoying them. Dolli-
yer declared that he I'D not expect a
protracted vendetta between the rail
roads and the business community, be
lieving that when the law was enact
ed it would be observed by the car
rier and shipper alike. Referring to
the rebate question said he did not
agree with either Foraker or Bacon
that secret practices have been aban-
sdoned. He did not believe tire Elkins

these practices. -,s,-
