%perience he had shortly after the civil

A conference was held in Mr.. Steven
sons Bloomington residence. many
leading Illinois and other Democrats

about the possible candidacy of Mr..
Davis, but no M happened to e
ton his first name. After the confer

old farmer friend into a corner and
asked his opinion. The farmer was
from the extreme southern end of
Illinois. He said: We'll, Adlai, you
know I've followed your lead in poll
tics for a good while and I'm going
to do 1t now. But, honest, Adlai, don't
you think it's a leetle mite early to
nominate Jeff Dayis?" - Chicago

NEARBY REPUBLICS.
Admiral Chester Discusses Conditions
in Santo Domingo and Haiti.

The republics of Santo Domingo and
Haiti, countries discovered by Columbus be-
fore he reached America, were discussed
by Rear Admiral C. NJ Chester, retired,
before the members of the National Geo
graphic Society and their friends at the
National Rifles armory last night. AS
depicted by the lecturer, the careers Of
these two countries have been stormy, and
In many instances pitiful He stated that
Haiti in its political history has been al
most torn to shreds by it's turbulent in
habftants. He attributed this condition to
few INSCRIPTIONS chiefs and leaders who
have always had personal gain as their
object. He said the inhabitants themselves
are naturally gentle and peace loving, as
were the aborigines that Columbus found
on the island
Admiral Chester concluded his remarks
by saying: I'VE should not forget that the
people of these countries are our neighbors,
and that we owe it to ourselves as Chris
tian nation to help them over their many
pitfalls Of popular government. which we,
by example, led them to establish before
they had gone through the preparations
necessary for proper use Of universal suf-
frage."

Edna Beers. prepossessing girl about
eighteen years of age, appeared before
Judge Mullowny in the Police Court yes
terday upon an information alleging the
larceny Of muff and neckpiece Of squirrel
fur valued at $50. According to the testi-
mony, the young woman attended dance
at the National Rifles Armory Thursday
evening, and at the close it was alleged she
took the furs, which it was stated were
the property Of Miss Blanch Mack, who
resides in the southeast section Of the
city. Later. it was stated, Sergeant Lee
OF the first precinct recovered the furs
from the defendant.
When Miss Beers took the stand she
told Judge Mullowny that the furs taken
were nearly identical with those owned by
her, and that she took them by mistake.
She also claimed she bought the furs at a
local store, and Assistant District Attorney
Given asked that the case be continued
SO that further testimony could be pro-
cured. The defendant was ordered to the
house of detention.
Later Judge Mullowny reopened the
case, and after hearing a statement Of the
girls father that she had passed beyond
his control the court entered fine Of $50.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Driver Injured and Policeman Drag
ged in Mud.

A runaway horse on H street near list
street northeast shortly after o'clock this
morning threw John Grady Of Bells lane,
d. c., the driver, from the wagon and drag
ged Policeman Miller of the ninth precinct,
who finally stopped it, a considerable dis
lance along a muddy street. Persons who
were walking along the street and who were
witnesses to the scene pronounced 1t a
thrilling one.
Grady was driving the horse attached to a
wagon along H street, when the horse be-
came frightened and started to run. AS the
animal neared the bridge which carries the
railroad over H street the horse swerved
toward the middle row of pillars and the
wagon was caught by one of them. Grady
was pitched violently to the pavement and
was painfully bruised about the body and
severely shaken up.
Policeman Miller of the ninth precinct was
a witness to the runaway. and as the horse
came along H street toward him he ran
into the street and managed to reach a part
of the horses harness. He was not strong
enough to hold the Infatuated animal, and
while he held to the harness, he was jerked
off his feet and dragged along the muddy
pavement. He was dangerously near to the
horses heels, but he held on.
The officers tenacity soon began to tell
and after he had been dragged for many
feet the animal decreased it's speed so much
that pedestrians succeeded in stopping 1t.
The policeman was literally covered with
mud from head to feet and was exhausted
by his struggle. Grady was picked up and
sent to the Casualty Hospital His injuries
are not serious

FELIX aARz1aL1A's RECITAL.
An Enjoyable Program splendidly
PLAYED on the Piano,


Felix Garziglia in the thirteenth concert
of the Washington, College series yesterday
afternoon at the Columbia Theater gave
convincing proof of his temperamental
scope and excellent technique. Mr.. Gar
ziglia Is an artist. The program, which was
calculated to test the range and ability OF
any vfrtuoso, was given with variety, poise
and subtle differentiation of the peculiar
characteristics of Schdmann, Chopin Mos!-
kowski and Liszt. While probably PERSONAL
ly more sympathetic with the temperaments
of the last inree composers than the first
there was little to be desired more than
was displayed in the Interpretation Of the
Faschingsschwank aus Wien of Schumann,
the entire series of five numbers being rem
dered with a largeness and thorough viril-
ity of style that won immediate recognition.
more subtle Interpretation was that given
to the four Chopin numbers, including the
etude Z sharp minor, the ballade major,
which was given with discriminating fnesse,
the nocturne sharp major, and the B
minor ScherZo The latter brought out a
storm of applause. There IS a solidity Of
tonal quah- and sharply contrasted deli
cacy of touch in Mr.. Garzielfa's work not
merely promising in so young pianist, but
astonishing in an artist of any age and
experience. In response to repeated recalls
after the Scherzo the Sparks" by Mosz-
kowski, was given, and in butterfly delicacy
and in assertion of vigorous personality
was considered by many the most authori-
tative piece Of technique of the afternoon.
The encore was stormily encored and a
Mendelssohn study, a feature of much the
same general character, was given with
spirit and certainty. The Tarantelle'' of
MoszkowsN was played with inspiring
tempo, and the No. 8 rhapsodie of Liszt
with a thoroughly sympathetic largeness
and mastery handling. Mr.. Garziglia has
the happy faculty of evoking braves for
his technique from musical critics and I'M
qualified appreciation from simple music
lovers. His music appeals as much as his
method.
Next week. Friday afternoon, March 8,
In the fourteenth and last of the present
series of concerts, the entire program will
be given by Madam Schumann-Heink.
