BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.


That this city is in favor of Sunday
concerts of high grade was demon
strated yesterday afternoon when the
Murray theatre was comfortably filled
to hear the New York baritone, Carl
Morris, in song recital, Mr.. Morris
having been brought here by the wri-
ter of this article with a view of in
shutting a series of such affairs
throughout the coming winter.
Mr.. Morris is regarded as one of
the most promising of the younger
oratorio and concert vocalists, and is
constantly advancing in his art and
in the graces of the public.
His audience yesterday was a cor
dial and appreciative one, testified to
by the long and continued applause
after each number and the numerous
encores.
One of the anomalies of the must
cal art is that which sometimes serves
it's devotes an ill turn after long and
severe initiate by sacrificing quality
to technique. In other words, berefts
the singer of his supreme talent in
learning it's principles. In the loss
of the effectiveness of the medium
through the latter's translation. In
not being able to sing after he knows
how.
This is not the instance, however
with Mr.. Norris
Mr.. Morris has a remarkable vocal
organ, fresh, unspoiled, rich and full
of color, with exquisite nuances OF
tone and of overwhelming dramatic
possession.
While Mr.. Morris is appealing in
his lyric presentations, he dominates
in the big, dramatic numbers, for his
voice has a certain histrionic quality
rare enough among either concert OIL
operate singers.
This in contradistinction to the Ell
dowment of histrionic ability in the
theatric art. The former a purely dra
matte vocal possession.
To splendid effect was this heard
in his aria, the Prologue" from Pag
liacci, whose intense climaxes len
! themselves with fine eclat to Mr.
Morris's vocalism. Most interesting
was the presentation of this number
in that comparisons could be drawn
between that of the singer of yes
terday and of Orville Harold, whe
appeared here a few weeks ago, ant
who gave this celebrated number.
Harrold's voice is tenor.
Morris's a baritone.
| Harold had had a long eXperienc,
in presentation in the operate yer
sion And yet Morris did not suffel
by comparison with his more famous
confrere.
Morris, in short, is supremely dra
matte.
This was shown in his singing o
the operate numbers from Handle
and Sarti-both now little heard from
| the concert platform. They are. mus
ically, looked upon as somewha
archaic, as belonging to a forme
! period of the development and mani
festation of musical art, and yet thi
singer fused them with such life, fir,
and vivacity that they gave the effec
of extreme modernity.
| The program, in short, was varie,
and catholic in character, and tina
every number was given with equa
success goes to show the vocal cath
olicity of it's exponent.
! 1t was, in fact, a remarkable voca
demonstration and not one often du
plicated on the concert platform say,
occasionally among those celebritie

AUDIENCE SUNDAY At ERNOON

who have the assurance of long ex-
perience.
1t is we'll for the local public to
remember this since it was an evil
dence of musical versatility and vir-
tuosity that this public has very in
frequently the opportunity of witness
ing.
No number on the program was
sung with more musicianship than
that by Strauss, whose difficulties
were comprehended and overcome by
Mr.. Morris, nor still the Eros" of
Grieg that perverse Scandinavian com
poser, nor of the Embarquez-vous!"
of GODDARD. The group of French
songs, of which the latter was the
fourth, were among the most beauti-
fully interpreted of the afternoon.
Among the more purely lyric num-
bers, Rubenstein's Tear" with words
by that lyricist poet, Thomas Moore,
was given with exquisite tenderness.
The Crescent Moon," too. by Wilfred
Sanderson, was sung with depth of
feeling and the charming little Banjo
Song" by Homer, interpreted with
the proper appreciation of its peculiar
charm.
Two songs welcomed by those who
care for the literature as we'll as the
music of a song, were "Invictus", by
Bruno HUM, whose words are that
magnificent apostrophe to the
integrity of the individual and
the imperishability of the soul
written by Ernest Henley, the
English poet, and friend of Robert
Louis Stevenson, himself. as his
friend, a life long invalid. Mr.. Morris
, sang this with thrilling effect both
in its intellectual, spiritual and its
musical significance, and has the
gratitude of many in his audience for
including it in his program.
The non-arrival of the we'll known
critic and composer, Franz X Arens
who was expected for the concert
since he was to have passed through
Richmond enroute to New York, was
disappointment, but his representa-
ton on the program in Mission" was
interesting, Mr.. Morris giving Mr.
Arens' dramatic excerpt with force
and dramatic acumen.
Altogether Mr.. Morris's program
was remarkable one in both matter
and presentation and his appearance
here one of the notable musica
events of the past few seasons.
Mrs. S. X. Ruick, of Indianapolis
one of the best known musicians Of
Indiana, being a leader in the Indi
annapolis Matinee Musicale and ths
Indiana Music Teachers Association
accompanied Mr.. Morris in a perfec
manner, showing herself possessed O.
the rarest of arts, that of the idea
accompanist.
Mrs. Ruick's presentation of a grou,
of musical monologues which includ
ed songs by Carrie Jacobs-Bond ant
other famous composers, was one o
the pleasures of the afternoon, Mrs
Ruick being recalled so insistentl,
that she responded with an encore.
The writer was congratulated OF
the suspicious opening of a serie,
OF Sunday afternoon concerts which
the public of Richmond indicated i
would support at popular price, tn,
patrons yesterday being representa-
tive of the social and musical life
as well as the cultured element O

TELLS CARNEGIE
HOW TO DIE POOR

LONDON, December "a. G.. Gardi
ner, editor of the Daily News, contrib
utes to his newspaper long character
study of Andrew Carnegie, in which he
suggests to that distributor of sur
pluses'' new way of avoiding the
disgrace of dying rich.''
Mr.. Gardiner declares that if Mr.
Carnegie said "the man who dies rich
dies disgraced the ironmaster himself
is in great danger of dying disgraced.
The editor continues:
e" For, so far, it is estimated that he
has made no serious breach in his mil
lions, lie has given away something
like forty millions sterling; but as fast
as he dispenses, the balance accumu-
lates. Once, it is said he did seem
to be shifting his golden mountains,
but then came an appreciation Of his
steel trust securities and once more he
was foiled.
cit is a pitiful thing to be struggling
alone one IS days to do something and
to struggle unavailingly.
"Mr. Carnegie has failed to get rid
of his fortune by building his fifteen
hundred libraries and his six thousand
church organs and his palaces of peace
and his institutions and by founding
his Scotch university schemes and his
! hero funds in all countries. Why
doesn't he spend the rest of his days
and his resources in warning against
| the twelve hour day and the seven.day
! week of the steel trustR That trust is
! the most colossal monument that the
/ mammon of modern industry has con.
/ ceived.
"Its capital of 81 400, 100000 is half
water. Upon that water vast dividends
are paid out of the excessive hours and
underpayment of thousands of unhappy
serfs. That can not be a pleasant
thought for Mr.. Carnegie as he wakes
up to the sound of the bagpipe at Skibo
Castle. For it was he who broke the
union that gave the serfs at least d
| fighting chance.

DOCTOR COLLYER'S ANVIL
PRESERVED BY CHURCH

1t appears that the anvil in the black
smith shop of the father of Rev. DR..
Robert Collyer, beside which the son
learned his trade, is carefully preserved
by the society of Unity church in Chi
cage, of which the blacksmith preacher
was pastor for twenty years from 1853
before going to the church of the Mes
siah in New York city. How that relic
was obtained is thus related:-
parishioner, travelling abroad, hap
pened to visit the birthplace of Collyer
in Yorkshire, and stumbled across the
old smithy, almost hidden among the
newer houses of the growing town. The
visitor inspected with some interest an
old anvil standing in one corner of the
shop.
"How long has that anvil been
here9' he asked of the proprietor,
Why" said the blacksmith, sit
must have been here nigh thirty OF
forty years. E"
"Well, l will give you twice as much
for it as viii buy you new one"
Certainly" replied the puzzled
smith, "but l would like to know what
you want with this anvil"
81 will tell you. There was formerly
an apprentice in this shop who used to
work on it. That boy has now become
prominent man. Thousands love anC
honor him as a friend and teacher, anG
| wish to carry this anvil with me tt
America, as a memorial of the humble
beginning of his life. -

WOULD GIVE SHIPS

Rear Admiral Andrews Favors

Patriotic Past.

WASHINGTON, December 15.-As

past, Rear.Admiral Andrews, chief of

The law now requires the christening

Admiral Andrews, in his annual re-
port, made public today, suggests the
revival of such names as Ranger, first
ship commanded by Paul Jones; Alfred,
first vessel to fly the American flag;

Erie, and Bon Hcmmc Richard. Consti.

The American navy had substan-
tial growth, both in material and per
sonnet, during the last fiscal year, ac-
cording to the report of Admiral An.

creased by 14S,S52 tons, comprising
seven battleships, two armored cruisers
and sixteen smaller vessels, while to
the personnel there were added 254 Off
GERS and 1855 enlisted men.
The Admiral urges the removal of a
legal limitation upon the employment
of retired officers by firms filing gov.

the government has legal control

Anyhow the Puio probe has suddenly

Puio investigation will turn the trick
