LAST OF HUTCHINSON
RECITALS A RARE TREAT

A genuine and rare treat was afforded
musicians and music lovers on Tuesday
morning in the Playhouse by Ernest
Hutcheson, pianist. when he gave the
last Of his three recitals here this spring,
for which Mrs. W. Sinclair Bowen, her
self an accomplished pianist, was the in
spiration. His performance was really
transporting. 1t is rare indeed to hear such
tone and such crisp. clean ripping tech
nIque as Mr.. Hutcheson has. He played
on that morning with all the poetry, re-
finement, intelligence, and enthusiasm in
him. 1t must be confessed that he has
less OF the last named than he has of
the other attributes. but there seemed
to be no lack of 1t in this particular
programme, for he was eminently salts
flying. He aroused the greatest enthu-
siasm, and deservedly. He selected his
programme with the utmost taste and
care, and 1t was beautiful indeed, be-
ginning with the Beethoven Sonata Ap-
passionate. The Liszt group was a
wonder and the Wagner group was more
SO. Each number gave Mr.. Hutcheson
ample opportunity to show his par
ticular skill. His great refinement may
be sometimes taken for coldness. His
two encores were the LIszt Liebestraum
No. after his Liszt group. and the
Chopin-Liszt Meme Freude" at the
close OF the Programme. Mrs. Taft, ac-
companied by Mrs. McClintock, was in
his very distinguished audience, and re-
mained until after he had played his
last encore. Mr.. Hutcheson closed his
seasons work in a blaze Of glory. He
Is going abroad for a years stay to
satisfy Mrs. Hutcheson, who does not

Aged MilLiOnaire's Bride

Edward B. Alsop Denies Rumor Of

Bride in Sanatorium.

Mrs Edward B. Alsop, the nineteen
year-oId bride OF the seventy-year-old
Pittsburg and Washington millionaire, is
in DR.. Buers sanatorium. at Lltchfeld,
Conn, suffering from nervous prostra-
ton.
Mrs Alsop, who was Miss Efie Pope
Hill, OF New York, and who married Mr..
Aisop about six weeks ago. was taken

Tuesday. Accompanied by Mr.. Alsop.
she went to visit her mother. Mrs. John

be best for her to be near her mother.
After reaching New York We decided
that she should take a rest in the sana-
torium. l will return to New York to-
morrow. and will bring her home again
later in the week. She will not remain In

absolutely no truth in the report that
my wife and l have separated"
Mrs. Hill. in an interview at the Hotel

there was any estrangement, or that
there had been any trouble between
them
she merely needed a rest" she said.

from. 1 told her to go to Litchfield. Mr.
Alsop was unable to go with her, al
though he wanted to. on account OF his
business. She is just as much devoted
to her husband now as she ever was.
Mr.. Alsop, also, is as much In love with
her as he was when he married her.

They took branches Of palm trees and
went forth TO meet Him" So saith the
Scriptures of q day nearly 1900 years
ago. and to-day celebrated In the
churches as Palm Sunday. OF the great
abundance Of palms which grew about
Jerusalem in the time of Christ, and
from which His admirers of a day took
their branches, only few scattered trees
remain. and these are mainly fossilized
and petrifed stems.
In early times the date palm, which
Is the Biblical palm, was abundant in
Palestine; its Greek term, Phoenix, gave
the name 10 that part Of the country
known as Phoenicia. Many OF the early
coins of that land have on them the
palm, and IT has become emblematic Of
Palestine. Jericho was called the City
OF Palms. and Josephus relates that there
was grove near the city seven miles
IN length, and that they were abundant
round the Sea Of Galilee, and in the lower
valley OF the Jordan, and that they grew
en- the Mount OF Olives and about Jeru-
salem. In the oases in the desert Of
Sinai they still grow in clumps and en-
tangled thickets, and the dates furnish
one Of the principal articles Of food for
the Bedouin Arabs, the ground stones be-
ing used as food for their camels.
The carrying of palm leaves on occa-
siOns of festivity was a favorite symbol
OF rejoicing by the Jews, and We read
in the Apochrypha, II Mace, x:7, that on
the restoration of the temple OF Judas
Maccabaeus the people bore In their
hands branches and fair boughs, and
palms also, and sang psalms unto Him
that had given them good success"
Palm leaves are still used by the Jews
at the feast of tabernacles and they are
to-day distributed in many Christian
churches in remembrance OF that first
Palm Sunday.
The Botanic Garden has a splendid
showing OF palm trees, and the Scrip
tural plant may be seen any day in this
collection. The date palm is that spoken
of in the Bible, and several handsome
EpeClmenS are to be found in the Rrnnn

| here OF more than 100 Of these aristocrats
| of the plant kingdom.
Palm Sunday is the first day OF Holy
Week, and the following Friday is known
as Good Friday, the anniversary of the
day on which our Lord was crucified. II
was on Good Friday that they plated
crown Of thorns and put II upon His
! head. and a reed in his right hand"
The tree which II is believed furnished
the thorn from which the cruel crown
was made is also to be seen in our
national Botanic Garden. There are two
specimens, and the shoot from which
they were grown was brought from the
Holy Land more than seventy years ago.
1t has hourished abundantly and there are
many Of its children in Washington. 1t
is an ugly tree. with long. plant branches
armed thickly with sharp spikes. which
conform exactly to the description Of the
crown of thorns. In Guido's famous
painting of the Crucifixion the crown
is made from the .boughs of this tree.
The Christ thorn, as II is familiarity
called, fringes the brink Of the Jordan
River. 1t grows sometimes to the height
OF forty feet. and presents a gaunt and
sinister aspect.
The Botanic Garden also shows the
reed which was used in mockery as a
scepter at Christ's crucifXion. A fine
group Of this most memorable plant last
summer formed the apex of the magnifi-
cent 10O-foot bed OF grasses and reeds
which was one OF the beauties of tho
garden. This Papyrus antiQuorum. as It
is botanically named. grows in the ex-
tensive marshes contiguous to the lake
OF Galilee and in other parts OF the Holy
Land.
The specimens in the Botanic Garden
are very fine, and their waving plumes.
which in summer seem to touch the
cupola of the Capitol, forming their back
ground, are in reality about twenty-five
feet high. This is the tall reed which
must have been used when "one ran and
filed a sponge full OF vinegar, and put
1t on a reed and gave Him to drink"
when Christ hung on the cross on the
day OF His crucihXiou.

engagement OF Miss Helen Byron as
prima donna soprano OF the Imperial
Musical Comedy Company. Miss Byron

''Florodora," the ever popular piece

Fellsmere Farms in Florida
Washington Men Inspect Canals BuiH Through
Rich Land of PaIms-A Great Enterprise.

B. II. Warner returned yesterday from
a prolonged trip through the South, ex-
tending to Key West. Fla. He was .
member OF q party Of guests Of ]. q.
White & Co. OF New York. who ran a
special train through the leading cities
OF the South, and especially those OF
Florida The other members Of the party
from Washington were Col. Oscar T.
Crosby and George X. McLanahan.
The party spent most OF the time at
the Fellsmere Farms, IN Brevard and St
Lucia counties. Florida. where q company
has purchased a solid block Of practically
FIVE entire townships, containing more
than 1900 acres. which is for a good
part Of the year covered largely by stand
ing water. so as to prevent its avail
ability for cultivation.
A proposition was made to White a
Cos some two years aso to purchase the
property. and after cadeful Investigation
they entered upon the project of its
development. Their plan embraces a sys-
tenn OF canals and bitches. which, collect
ing the excess water on the tract, will
discharge It by gravity into the Sebastian
River at tidewater.
Rode Through Canals.
I'VE spent an entire day riding through
the canals this company has already
completed and of which we knew prac-
ticaIIy nothing until we arrived upon the
scene OF operations" said Mr.. Warner
yesterday.
Indeed the enterprise seemed to all
OF US as second only to the Panama
Canal. and excited In our minds the
greatest admiration. The amount Of
work already accomplished is indeed
wonderful and the entire system will be
pushed to completion 'by January 1. 1914.
although most of the work should be
completed long before that time. On
every hand were seen giant excavators,
dredges. and ditching machines, not only
digging the main canal, but also the
laterals and sublaterals.
"A large amount OF the company's
soil is OF muck which runs from two
to ten feet in depth and is the result OF
deposit OF decaying vegetation COM
bined with silt. which forms loose
arabic soil. the fertility OF which is con-
sidered to be as great as that along the
Nile. 1t is extremely rich in nitrogen.
The pine and prairie land soil consists
OF a sandy lcam which has proved most
satisfactory for the growing Of citrus
fruits. On the west side OF the tract
there is a lake comprising about 5000
acres.
We saw on a demonstration farm
many growing crops and were aston
ished not only at the productiveness of
the soil, but at its adaptation for so
many different crops. II is adapted for
the cultivation Of oranges grapefruit,
and other citrus fruits. Strawberries,
