full sanctuary lamps which she gave to
many churches in this city.

IN THE COTTON MILLS,
Lecture on Effect of Working Chill
dren Therein.

Industrial schools. missionary work
among the parents and generally i'm
proved methods of education were the
remedies suggested by Mrs. Annie Riley
Hale in a lecture at the Y. NJ c. A Thurs
day evening for the practice said to be in
effect in the south of allowing $4,000
Anglo-Saxon children to be degraded and
crushed in the cotton mills.
These children are for the most part
descendants of the men who battled for
freedom in the stern days of the revolu-
ton" the speaker said. land if this be the
recognition that will be given to children
of such men. then in vain did they sacri-
flee their lives that nation of freedom
might be born"
Mrs. Hale spoke of the ravages of a
disease resembling dropsy which attacks
the little toilers. She also stated that
the average child after four years of toll
in the mills is a mental and physical
wreck. In conclusion Mrs Hale said
that southern craftsmanship has fallen
upon evil days. and instead of attacking
this evil it confines itself to the bugaboo
of black supremacy or tears in its night
mare Of Capitalization.
Miss Virginia Robinson and Miss Ailsie
Riley gave vocal and instrumental solos,

EXCURSIONS.

No official plans for a ceremonious
"send-off' have been made for the de-
parture. of Admiral Evans fleet from
Hampton roads. the 18th. but crowded
conditions at the hotels at Old Point
Comfort and neighboring places prove that
those interested are to be on hand in
numbers to say goodbye to related and
dear ones. The first section of the fleet
is already anchored off Old Point and
passengers via the Norfolk and Washing
ton boats leaving this city nightly at 6:3C
have a splendid view Of the fighters.
Meanwhile there are gay times at the
Chamberlin and other hostelries. and the
influx of autumn visitors continues. Nor
folk and Washington boats have every
appointment the luxury-loving traveller
can demand, a fact which explains their
popularity at all seasons.
Information and tickets can be obtained
at 7th st. wharf, or at the uptown Of

MARK HAMBOURG.
Splendid Recital Given at the Be-
lasco Yesterday.

Splendid Recital Given at the Be-
lasco Yesterday.
The recital given by Mark Hamburg
at the Belasco Theater yesterday was
listened to by an audience that was the
most enthusiastic gathered within the
walls Of that playhouse this season, and
this with memory of the fact that Pad
erewski has given a recital there. Mr..
Hamburg has developed greatly since
his last visit. four years ago, and is now
at the point when he can control his
youthful enthusiasm by his more mature
judgment. His program yesterday in
cluded a Beethoven sonata, opus 2, No. 3,
in G. major, given with delightful delicacy
and mastery. all the movements being
treated with reverence due the work of
the great composer, and the contrasts be-
ing brought out clearly and masterfully,
particularly in the scherZo, which helm
terpreted in the most delicate and de-
licious manner. In fact, the applause at
the completion of each of the movements
was hearty and prolonged. and when it
was finished he had to return again and
again to bow his acknowledgements. Then
came the Ballade of Grieg. a theme
and variations which was of great diff
Guilty, which gave opportunity for digital
velocity and power, always intelligently
bestowed.
IHo CNOpln group lnCluOeQ d d major
Nocturne, two etudes-one in G fat major
and one in E fiat major-and the Valse in
A fiat major, and were splendidly re-
ceived, the first-named etude having to
be repeated. receiving as much applause
at its repetition as on it's original per-
formance
Then came Rubinstein's staceato etude,
which was given with a rapidity, dis
Effectiveness and power that were re-
markable. and which called for another
encore. that being Musical Moment"
by Schubert. followed by an Ave Maria"
by Himself and Leschetizsky's La
Source" thte closing number being List S
Polonaise In E major. which aroused
the audience to the highest pitch Of en-
thusiasm, and, finally, after repeated re-
calls. Hamburg again seated himself at
the piano and played LISTS Sixth Rhap
sody with all the fire and strength that
might be expected had it been the first on
the program.
Mark Hamburg shows his musical
growth and development in every way.
He has much to learn yet, but he has
youth, a thoroughly technical mastery of
the keyboard keen analytical intelligence
to grasp the meaning of a composer and
all the requirements that go to make up a
great pianist. The progress he has made
within the last four years is an earnest of
what may be expected later and Is certain
ly most gratifying to all who love piano
music without mannerism, without the
atric erect, but simply played with a
proper and intelligent Interpretation, with
a mastery of the instrument and with the
delicacy and power required.
