ton. Grand opera also. another
branch OF high art. has not been neg
form owing to the lack OF an ade-
! quate opera house.
The city OF Richmond owes 1t to
these efforts of the Wednesday club
itself to show its appreciation OF these
efforts of the Wednesday club to de-
velop and raise the taste for good
music among the population by a
greater attendance at the festivals.
And yet the club has not always met
with the encouragement it has de-
served during the years that are
passed. especially in the line of
oratorls. but the seeds sown are
gradually and c>perceptibiy bearing
fruit as evidences by the ever In
creasing interest and attendance at
the concerts.
\ Counter influence.
What counteracts and retards in a
great measure the speedy growth Of a
true love for good music is the pres
ence in all communities of the de-
grading influence OF light opera. min
strel shows. vaudeville. etc, and
kindred entertainments which tend to
drag the art OF music down to the
level OF hand organs and dime shows.
To speak more especially of the
Importance OF the Wednesday club
. q ~ al h
younger and growing generation we
would call attention to its stimulating
effect on musical students OF the city
also ought to be encouraged and
spurred to greater individual efforts
by hearing. from time to time great
artists. and by having the prospect
held out to them OF sometime being
allowed the privilege OF appearing as
sOloist at one OF Its concerts.

Gaines Got Fifteen Dollars.

David Gaines. gentleman of
leisure (also Of color,) was
thereabouts" at the recent
Southern wreck near Easley.
Gaines has a powerful limp that
he carries with him at all times,
and it served a good turn for
him at the wreck that day.
Walking out where some Off
cials were going among the in
jured and seeing that they were
properly cared for and sent to
the hospital if necessary, Gaines
put all the appearances of great
pain into his limp, and was soon
accosted by an "adjuster.' who
told him to get on the train and
go to the hospital at Greenville.
Il don't want to go to the hos
pital, boss; I want to get home,"
was the pitiful plea of Gaines.
And the adjuster, glad to get
rid of one victim, told him to
sign this paper" and he would
be taken home on the next
train. Gaines signed the paper,
by which he forever released |
the Southern Railway from all |
liability for damages to his PER
son by reason of the wreck at |
Easley, and received SIS for his
signature. Just what Gaines
will do with his accumulated
wealth is not certain. .-Ander-
