TUPELo MISSISSIPPI FRIDAY, APRIL a. 1911.
A Musical Treat.

At the court house last Satur.
day afternoon the people of To-
pelo and Northeast Mississippi
were treated to one of the great
est musical programs ever pre-
sented in an interior place.
The delightful concert was CIV
en- by the Russian Symphony Or
chestra under the direction of
Modest Atschuler. Standing
rourn was at premium and the
music loving public were fully
compensated for the time and
money spent at this most delight
full entertainment.
The director opened the pro-
gram with Wagner's master
piece "Tanhausel," which, with
its vivid obligatos and harmo-
Nous effects, soon had the entire
audience dreamingly spellbound.
Each selection was classic in
its particular line and rendered
by an artist, and the audience
manifested it's appreciation by
frequent bursts of applause.
We are unable to present a de-
scriptlon of each masterpiece or
describe in detail it's rendition,
but the occasion was the banner
event in the history of
our little city.
Too much credit cannot be
given the Orchestra, and the
public generally applaud the pub
lie spirit which prompted the
managers of the Tri-County Fair
to bring to our doors an enter
tainment which is usually enj
ed in the high class, musical re-
sorts of our larger cities.

LAST OPERATION
ON SCALPED GIRL
PROVES SUCCESS
Miss Houghton Well Road
to Recovery, Physicians
Report.

Save for minor affection Of the right
eye, Miss Alice v. Houghton. the Cen
sus Office clerk, who was scalped when
her hair was caught in a tabulatins ma
chine about two months ago, is we'll on
the way to recovery. r~- -. ..
The latest of the many skin grating
operations was perform ed on the young
woman two days ago. At that time
one-half of her scalp has been success
fully replaced, and the physicians at
Emergency Hospital who are tending
her are now anxiously waiting the le-
suit Of the latest grating, by which the
entire head was given a new covering.
Miss Houghton has improved so much
that she has been allowed to sit in the
hospital yard on every fair day during
the past two weeks. and DR.. Walter
Price, who has had charge of her case,
said this morning that she has showed
marked and consistent improvement
during the past few days. The physi-
clans have every reason to believe that
the latest operation will be entirely
successful, and that no further skin
grating will be necessary.
The injury to Miss Houghton's right
eye, the doctors say, will be neither
permanent nor disfigurfng. 1t came as
the result of the injury to most of the
scalp muscles suffered when the young
woman was caught in the machinery

OF VETERANS TODAY
District Men Who Enlisted
Half Century Ago Are
Celebrating.
ONE HUNDRED OF FOUR
THOUSAND SURVIVE
Parade In Carriages Will Be Fol-
lowed BY Banquet
Tonight.

Like a gaunt echo OF the past, 100
survivors OF the civil war-all that is
left of the $500 brave men who en-
listed for service from the District of
Columbia-paraded the streets of Wash
ington this afternoon. But instead
Of moving along Pennsylvania avenue
with springy step and blood tingling to
the inspiring sound of the fife and drult
as they did fifty years ago, they rode
In carriages and were escorted by the
present-day wearers of the blue. Mar
tial music by a military band substi-
tuted the shrill fife and drum.
One half century ago these men en-
listed to serve their country and to give
up their lives If necessary. Today, the
nftleth anniversary of that event is be-
ing celebrated by a patriotic demonstra-
uon, including reception by the Eresi-
dent of the United States, the District
Commissioners, and a banquet this even
ing at the Ebbitt House.
Assemble at O'clock.
At l o'clock this afternoon Capt T.
Edward Clark and Capt ]. Tyler Pow
ell, the only two of the thirty-eight cap
tains left, assembled their men once
more, closing in their ranks a little fur
ther because several Of the number have
fallen out since the last muster, and
will never again respond to the call Of
their name.
The veterans, dressed in their time
worn uniforms and wearing bright
badges, met at St. Joseph's Hall,
Fifth and II streets northwest. They
passed down New York avenue to the
White House, escorted by a detail of
police, the First Regiment of the Dis
trlct National Guard, and the National
Guard Band. There was one battery
Of the National Guard. At the White
House they were received by Presi-
Gent Taft in the East Room. Captain
Powell introduced the veterans to
the Executive. Immediately following
the reception at the White House, the
parade proceeded to the District build
ing where the Commissioners received
the 100 survivors.
Disband at City Hall.
From the District Building the veter-
ans proceeded to the City Hall at
the head of John Marshall place, and
there disbanded for the afternoon.
1t is expected that as many will be
able to attend the banquet in the Ebbitt
tonight as were in the parade this
afternoon.
The banquet hall has been decorated
with flags and banners. There will be
patriotic music and patriotic speeches
tonight, and the reunion is expected to
be one of the most enjoyable that the
comrades have had since they were
relieved from duty on the battlefield.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements is composed of Captain
Powell, L. P. Seibold, Theodore Friebus,
H. {. Craig, w. H. Hoover, Captain
