BY MYRTLE MILES

The patronage which has been given
recent musical affairs but shows the
many people of musical culture in Bir-
mingham. The opera house during the
music festival was filed at each per-
Torrance; the concert given last Sunday
afternoon by the Oratorio society was
not only the means of raising a large
fund for the mine sufferers in the pur-
chase of tickets through generosity-peo-
pie attended the concert in large num-
bers and enjoyed It. In the audience
were persons representing every phase OF
musical interest. Later, at the Country
club. a fashionable assembly gathered to
hear Mrs. Truman Aldrich pianist, with
an augmented orchestra composed of the
best of home talent, give a programme
comprising selections from the works of
Bellini Waldteufel, Ofenbaoh and Ros-
SIM, with the final great concerto e flat
major, by List, in which Mrs Aldrich
gave her brilliant number The Music
Study club concert last week was also
we'll attended despite the intensely dis
agreeable weather, proving the strong
hold that this club has upon music low

these recent concerts, ones eye must

that are occupants of the seats at mu-
steal performances and the fact that there
are SO many people of musical culture
and appreciation augurs well for a fu-
ture Of oven higher standards.
There have been many additions to the
musical coterie during the past year or
two. Mrs. Edward Rucker, Jr., who was
a Michigan girl and came to Birmingham
q bride, is not only valuable socially.
She is an excellent pianist Mrs. l.. Block
IL one of the leading pianists of the city.
She plays with a brilliance and finish
which is distinctive and with strength
and sureness of touch that one could
hardly expect of a slender little wisp OF
a woman like her. Her musical talent is
easily accounted for, as both her father
and mother have been professional must
clans Of note. Mrs Charles <. bowman,
who was Miss Westmoreland of Atlanta
was another splendid addition to the cir
Gle of pianists. She is also one of the
leading organists of the city. Still an
other was Mrs. Victor Hanson, who has
been heard a number of times in the Mu-
sic Study club She, too is proficient in
both piano and organ.
MISS Abigail Crawford, who gave re-
cital at Gable hall last week has re-
ceived encoiniums from even the most
critical of local musicians. She is De-
catur girl, but is teaching in this city, so
that we may claim her; her piano play
ing is so excellent that one wants to.
Mrs. Flournoy Rivers has made cir
Gle of friends the number of which
would be surprising did one not consider
the personal attraction of this charming
woman and her versatility. She has COM
posed a little, lectured several times-al-
ways before large audiences-and taught
much since coming to Birmingham, mean
time winning genuine admiration for her
manner Of doing it all Mrs. j. G. Wells
unit. recently Miss Monetta Stribling. is
also a comparative newcomer in Birming-
ham, She is a pianist of cultivation and
was the composer of a charming cantata
which was presented not very long ago
by company OF local artists, receiving
much flattering comment.
One of the most. interesting and i'm
nortant women in the musical set is
Mrs. Edward Castle Wells, violinist.
Mrs. Wells is a charming woman-a
Bostonian-and though she has iived
very quietly since coming to make this
her home, has delighted all who have
met her. Mrs Wells received all of her
violin training under the instruction OF
Charles N. Allen Of Boston. She has
PLAYED with some of the leading musi-
clans in this country. She plays with
much feeling and her technique Is pro-
nounced admira BILE. Mrs. Wells Is
woman of superior education in other
lines than music and her playing Is IN
fellectual. Taking issue, indeed, with
lecturer a short time ago who de-
scribed music as purely emotional she
remarked that 1t was too dependent
on the intellect to be regarded as pure

mere talent or inspiration. / suppose l

Another who handles the bow with
pleasing effect is Miss Julia Chenoweth.
She has spent much time In the west

return that she has done her best work.

Using in Miss Jessie May Perkins, the
young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Sey-
mour Perkins, who removed here from
Selma the past winter. Her playing
never fails to please and interest her
audience.
With the coming to Birmingham Of
the large iron and steel industries, with
the necessary men which the works
require, talent has been imported as
well. At Ensley is Mr.. John Philip
Shaddick, formerly of Pittsburg. He is
the SON of Mr.. John Philip Shaddick.

for further study before many months

whom the enthusiasm of the music max
err yet fingers, though the production OF
melody has become a lost art. Among
these may be mentioned Mrs. W. D.
Smith, who though she now never plays,
was regarded a few years ago as pl-
anist of unusual merit. Mrs. Smith is
identified with musical organizations and
was the hostess at the last open meeting
of the Music Study club, yet she has al
lowed her own musicianship to become
dormant. It will be pleasant to her
friends, however, to hear that she ex-
poets to resume her study next winter
her interest having been aroused partly
by the coming of young niece who is
q student and will pass the winter with
her. Another pianist of culture and ap-
probation is Mrs. J. II. Phillips, who is
one of the most enthusiastic patrons Of
music in Birmingham. Mrs. Robert Jem-
ison, Jr, as Miss Virginia Walker was
one of the most accomplished pianists in
the city. Mrs. William M. Jordan Is
another musician of talent and culture.

of Birmingham's singers and was a ia
vorite at almost every concert and anna

her marriage. She has recently resumed
her study of voice and at a recent mu-
sicale charmed her guests with several
numbers. Her sweet contralto voice was
pronounced loyelier than ever. Another

MAD MULLAH HITS JOHN BULL IN
 SOLAR PLEKUS

London, April 4.-Today's news from British SomaliIand of a fresh outbreak on the part of Mohammed Abdullah, or Mad Mullah,' is giving critics of the governm ent's colonial policy the best inning they @have had in a long time.
 Only a few days ago the official announcement was made that the English government had decided to evacuate British Soma1iland, retain ing only few coast towns which can be cheap1y garrisoned against the Mad Mullah's'' attacks.
 Immediately the cry was raised that the evacuation amounted to 9 vic tory for the Mad Mullah''~over the British arms and the prediction made that the announcement would result in an immediate resumption of hos tiIities by AbduIlah.
 Whether the present rampage of tfes Mad Mullah,'' in which he has slain nearly 1900 of the tribesnen friendly to the Sultanates, will result in England sending another expedi- ton against him, has not yet been decided.
 Having, as he reckons, driven the English out of his country, Abdullah h has sent intimatfons to officers in charge of King Victor Emmanuels S forces in the field that he intends to turn his attention next to the Ital- ians. Doubt is felt here that the ruler means just what he says and there is keen apprehension as to what will follow the British eyacua- ton.
