N|K|SCH AND GREAT
LONDON ORCHESTRA
DELIGHT. AUDIENCE
British Orchestra Leader and
His Musicians Give
I. . Fine Concert.

Arthur Niklsch and his London SYM
phony orchestras of one hundred musi-
clans gave the music lovers of the
Capital their most notable concert of
the season at the New National yes
terday, and seldom, IL ever, has such
tribute been paid an artist here by
an audience as that accorded the great
London leader yesterday.
Two or three times during the rendi-
ton of tile Ave numbers of the pro-
gram the auditors, unable TO give vent
to their enthusiasm In the accepted
manner, shouted and hurrahed their
approval.
At the conclusion OF the program the
audience cheered and applauded for
fully Ave minutes and so vigorous and
wholesouled was the demonstration that
the musicians stood for some time un-
decided as to just what TO do.
MI Nikisch and his men gave a con-
cert OF rare beauty and interest, the
leader once more revealing the tempera-
themes which have won him enduring

| OF the Atlantic. He conducted through

HOME RULE: IN IRELAND AND HERE.

II is announced in British cables that the leaders
OF the Irish home rule movement are appealing to
America for support of their cause now that the
home rule bill is before parliament.
For half century American sympathy and sub
tantas have been of greatest value to the Irish in
their struggle. Now is the time to win the fight.
Britain can make its strongest appeal to American
good will by showing good will to Ireland. That fact
should be nationally avowed and emphasized.
Meanwhile, Americans are engaged in a little
home-rule controversy of their own that demands
close attention. -. - 20
Some recent doings in Illinois, North Dakota,
ETC., indicate that we have about as good chance
to win as our Irish friends enjoy.

DIGGING OF DITCHES.

Many broad acres of fertile lands are being add
ed to our national resources every year by the
process of digging bitches. In the arid West it is
first necessary to mpound the waters of some
elusive mountain stream and then dig bitches to dis
tribute the life-gving fluid where it is needed In
other parts of the country, west and east north and
south, the trouble is not too little water but too
much. Here it is necessary to dig bitches to carry
the water away. That irrigation has received more
attention than drainage means Of reclamation is
DUE, perhaps, to the fact that it is more difficult
problem, and that is the kind men prefer.
But the drainage problem is being more and
more. discussed and the National Drainage Congress
nowin session in New Orleans is expected to initiate
an active and definite program for the cooperation
OF national and State agencies for the reclamation
OF swamp lands.
If the delegates need any especial inspiration il
must be taken for granted that they will find it in
theTtime and place Of their meeting. New Orleans
Is a great city and the Mississippi is great river
butshere is no doubt that both of them inclined

A Spring Idyl, striking in its concep-
ton, was Mrs. Christian D. Hemmick's s
entertainment given yesterday in the
Belasco Theater. with the producer her
self as THE Woman of Mystery" mas
querading under the name OF Mrs. Mary
owen. and appearing in the dance of
THE Lady of the Mists" and ''The
Huntress."
1t was a large audience, and one that
was especially cordial TO the amateurs
who have been rehearsing yesterdays
presentation for weeks. While the per-
formance lacked somewhat in the
smoothness that characterizes profess
s!onal production, 1t would be unkind TO
compare II with other entertainments
of like character that have visited
Washington during the present season.
The young women of the cast were
somewhat self-conscious of their cos
tunes, and the men who danced lacked
in a measure the perfect abandon that
has characterized the men dancers who
have been seen in Washington this win
ter, particularly Mordkin. to whom Mrs.
Hemmick's newest "find" "Nayrb, has
been compared.
The program. which was in three
parts, opened with a scene in panto-
mime, lie Reve," of the period of 1850
In which was depicted the love of q
school girl for Perriot. A curate, Mr.
Butman. invites Mile. Pince Nez. the
school mistress, to a garden party and
she. with ten of her young lady pupils
accepts the invitation, leaving Emile
the naughty one. at home. Miss Amies

over a book, and in her dream she sees
Perriot. with whom she Immediately
falls in love. The twelve young wo'
men who danced this number were
quantity costumed in hoopskirts and

aged gracefully. and Miss lie Grange, al
