In Piano Recital

Music lovers were given one OF the
distinct novelties Of the season yester-
day afternoon, when Miss Roberta
Amies, who has been heard number Of
times privately, gave her tirst public
piano recital in the Washington Club.
Miss Amies is one of the group OF
younger musicians in Washington, and
has unusual talent. Her work through
out the entire program gave evidence
OF serious study and the results were
pleasing and at times surprising.
Miss Amies is fifteen years old, but
plays Ike a musician older in years and
experience. Her tone is fun, steady.
and responsive. Her technique Is clear
and sure. Miss Amies met the dimIcul-
ties of the compositions included IN her
program with the poise and ease or "a
matured artist, and completely caEtlNal-
ed everyone.
Her performance was an exposition
of the success which may be attained
by a gifted young musician who puts

Senator Gallinger's efforts to overcome

BERRIES.

Strawberries in January strikes the
average citizen of the East as won
derful, although the very wealthy
people can have them at any time by
paying as high as dollar a basket
for fruit grown in the dollhouse or
shipped from the districts around
Los Angeles.
The forwarding Of strawberries at
this season has developed into a very
profitable industry. Special arrange
ments have been made for handling
them by the railroads. One of the
latest inventions is refrigerator,
which travels by express to its dest:-
nation, and carries thirty-six, forty
five or 1903 baskets, according to its
size. The principal points to which
the fruit is sent are New York, Chi

Kearns, a popular citizen during his

and they were all illustrated in the
New York Herald.
The question has been asked many
times since the American party vic
tory in Salt Lake, why it received so
great a majority; why so many intel
ligent people are led by such unto
ward means. That question cannot
be satisfactorily answered. We have
asked many students in theology why
call the men of Shechem gathered
together and made Abimilech king
over them, knowing that lie had hired
vain and light persons to follow him."
and also knowing che went to his
fathers house at Ophra and slew
three score and ten of his brethren"
They could give no answer. We can
not understand why whole band of
sheep will follow a leader over :,
ledge of rocks to their death. We
cannot understand why the people
with almost one accord in the early
days of this country burned witches
and hung Quakers. We cannot un-
derstand why for hundreds of years
the Christian reople believed thar
their God, the God of the Bible, was
an eternal torture-loving demon; that
He had rrerared a real lake of hell
fire and birthstone and it was his
pleasure to throw the great majority
of his peo"lc, made in his own image,
into this lake to roast, sizzle, fry,
stew, boil, bake, suffer, burn, groan
and moan without intermission
throughout all the countless ages of
eternity. We cannot understand why
nearly all of the intelligent people
voted for, sustained and upheld such
a Bod. Everything has its cycle.
One would not naturally think that
after Abim,lech had murdered three
score and ten of his brethren, all the
men OF Shechem would annoint him
king. Abimilech's cycle for cruelty
and bloodshed was a long one. He

backs on him because Of his miserable
record in the Senate. He (Kearns)
thought he could buy or bully the
Mormon church to help him for
second term; he begged and plead
with Joseph F. Smith to use his
(Smith's) influence. Like the bram-
BILE bush Kearns said to Joseph F.
Smith, "If you will use your inhuenc.

and put your trust in my shadow
and if not let fire come out of the

When Kearns was elected Senator
great wai'ings and lamentations went
up from Zion. Goodwin said, 1--WE
utterly condemn the methods which
gave him the Senatorship. They
amount to a turning back of poiti-
cal progress and the progress of
Utah a quarter of a century and re-
stored the old slavery and brutal ty-
ranny," etc.
Many preachers and women waile1
in lamentino anguish because TIE Re-
publicans had disgraced Utah BY
sending Tom Kearns to the Senate.
In honor of his election Kearns gave
a great drunken detauch or banquet.
The preachers and some of the wom-
en- almost exploded in wrath and in
dignation to think that such an awful
impious feast should occur in Utah.
Kearns was foxey; he said: I'll win
EN- over to me: will bring them un-
der my bramble bush shadow; if I
fight the Mormons and Utah, they
will love and adore me-" Tom was
right When he returned from Wash
ington they gave him receNtion and
the very women and preachers who
condemned his election were the first
to do him homage With the help
of the preachers and the sore-heads
