In review OF a recent concert In
New York by Arthur Friedheim, the
pianist who Is to play In the Church
OF Our Father. Jan. IL. Henry T. Frank
the well-known musical reviewer OF
The Evening Post said: There are
still some music lovers who are sure
that LisZt Is one OF the immortal CON-
posers. One charming listener, q de-
voice OF Brahms, expressed the opin-
ion, before the recital, that while
LISTS music was brilliant, 1t was
never deep. After Mr.. Friedheim had
played the sonata she sat In mute
amazement for a moment, and then
exciaimeu, ie pay anything
after that?' The full glory, charm.
depth OF this music had been revealed
to her, In a half hour that seemed as
five minutes, by a master mind that
had got the fire direct from the Great
or OF this music; for Mr.. Friedheim
was a pupil OF Liszt-a real pupil OF
LisZt, whose artistic blood flows In his
veins. The tender poetic melody in
the slow part, to tumultuous climaxes
in the others, the coherency and nat
uralness OF the novel form, the lus-
cious and truly pianistic tone colors-
all these things Mr.. Friedheim
makes clear to every music lover, and
at a first hearing, which is the wonder
of it,

Woman Of Unique Fame.

BY throwing a hatchet across the
mahogany bar of the Senate Saloon.
In Topeka, Kan. and smashing the
plateglass mirror, in March, 1901,
Carrie Nation became a national fig
ure. Up to that time she was known
only in a few Kansas towns that she
had visited merely as an ardent tenn
perance advocate.
But the hatchet-throwing episode
plunged her into newspaper fame.
She liked the notoriety her act
brought her and decided to re-
peat the performance in other towns.
1t wasn't long until the name of
Carrie Nation was household word
in this country and even the foreign
press became greatly interested in
such a display OF feminine aggres-
siveness.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born In
Boyle county, KY, about 66 years
ago.

1911 WHEAT CROP
TOP ALL RECORDS
Government Report Gives Very
Large Figures.
ALL CROPS ARE DOING WELL.
June Statement OF the Agricultural
Department Declares That the
Greatest Harvest Ever Pro-
duced VIII Be Gathered.

Washington.-Pro that this
years wheat crop will be the greatest
ever produced is given in the June
crop report just issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Estimates
by the departments experts indicate
that approximately 764,291,S57
bushels of wheat will be harvested in
this country this summer and
autumn, an increase of about 6S,-
S4S,S57 buhels over that garnered
last year. OF winter wheat the in
dicated yield is almost 100000, 900
bushels, and of spring wheat 2S4,-
600, 900 bushels.
Prof. n. C. Murray, acting chair
man of the Crop Reporting Board,
commenting upon the report, said:
THE acreage of spring wheat
shows total larger than any pre-
vious record and nearly 8 per cent.
greater than last year On June l
the crop was above the average in
promise, the condition and acreage
combined, being such as to give hope
for a yield of nearly 23 per cent.
more than last year, and nearly II
per cent. more than the average for
the last five years.
May was unfavorable for winter
wheat, but, nevertheless, with the in
creased acreage there probably will
be between and per cent. more
winter wheat produced than last
year, and between and I per cent.
more than for the average of the
last five years. Combining both
spring and winter wheat, the indica-
tions point to a slightly larger yield
per acre than was produced last year,
and about the same yield per acre as
during the last FIVE years. This
would make total production of all
wheat of 80 per cent. more than last
year, and 1912 per cent. more than
the average for the last five years"
The Department of Agriculture's
June crop report estimates the prin-
cipal crops as follows:

MEXICO CITY HAS
SERIOUS QUAKE
Sixty-Three Persons Are Killed
and Many Injured.
SOLDIERS CRUSHED TO DEATH
Roll OF Dead Likely TO Be Increased
When All the Details Are Known
--Most II the Dam ,ge Done
to the Soldiers Barracks.

Mexico City. - Sixty-three were
killed, seventy-five wounded and
property worth 100000 was wreck
ed Wednesday by an earthquake
which shook the Mexican capital and
injected a note of tragedy into what
was to be day OF pure rejoicing over
the arrival of Francisco |. Madero,
Jr.
When the work of searching the
ruins is completed, it is possible that
the list of dead will be increased
somewhat, as hiding here and there
throughout the city there doubtless
are many wounded, who, with tradi-
tional fear of the authorities and gov
ernment hospitals. are anxious to
evade discovery The property loss
estimate is based on calculations
made by owners and contractors.
Little of the loss is covered by In
surance.
1t was 4.36 o'clock when the first
shock was felt. According to the
meteorological observatory, the
greatest intensity was reached at the
end of the first minute, but the in
struments continued to record the
shocks for IA minutes more.
Many So,oiers Victims
More than half of the dead ac-
counted for were soldiers. They
were caught beneath the falling
walls of the artillery barracks in San
Cosma, near the Mexican Central
Station.
ANother place where the earth
quake took its toll of death in con.
siderable numbers was at the city
power plant of the street car COM
pany. There six persons we're killed
and six wounded. Two others were
found in the debris, consisting partly
of steel rails which had been stacked
in the iron and wood departments
The victims were inhabitants OF
shacks built along beside the struc-
ture.
No personal property of Americans
was damaged, and, with the excep-
tion of one Chinese killed, no for
eigners were injured. In the bar
racks where the soldiers we're killed
IL women also lost their lives. They
were the wives of artillerymen.
These women have the privilege OF
spending the night within the walls
of the barracks, an old structure. II
was unlike many Of the older edlfices
of the city, as its walls we're CON-
paratively thin.
Seventy-two soldiers we're sleeping
in the house. approximately 35 we're
quartered on the first floor, the re-
mainder on the second. The outer
wall fell away and the roof, crash
ing down on the sleeping men on the
second floor, hurled them down
through the ceiling on their com.
rades below. The bodies of 80 SOL
diers have been recovered. Three
are missing and 16 are wounded, q
few severely.
Those who escaped began the work
of rescue at once without spreading
the alarm for some time. Women,
whose soldier husbands were in the
pile, stood by waiting in groups,
while children clung to their moth.
ers' dresses and stared curiously al
the gruesome scene.
