MendclsSohn Concerto in q minor, with
orchestra accompaniment
To play 4 concerto with "A symphony
orchestra is considered nm achieve
ment and an honor. and no teacher
would allow one OF his pupils to at
tempt the feat without a full measure
of preparation. Consider. then, what
II means when a teacher Of Frederic

Ida Deck. his thirteen ycar-old pupil
is prepared To play the Mcndelssohn
concerto before probably the largest au-
dtcncc of music lovers in Richmond
Miss Decks great musical ability
comes as Il surprise from one so young
and quiet. She plays with an attack"
as brilliant and sure rs that of the
seasoned concert performer, and her
playing OF the slower movements show
breadth and richness OF expression
that are satisfying 10 a high degree.
Unlike most ''prodieies." her early
training has been probably no different
from that of the other girls of her
class-iB in the Powhatan Public
School.
She was born ON August If, 1899. at
Washington, -. g. Her mother is Of

At the age OF six she learned her

mother. and two years later she be-
gan regular lessons with the teacher
of piano AT the West Virginia Wesley

ton weekly and an hours practice
daily, she made steady progress.

Entrusted to Mr.. Hairs direction. and
under his guidance she has developed

SUCH COLD WEATHER IN FEB
RUARH-GROUND HOG POOR PRO-
PHET.

The only real winter that this part
Of the country has had this year has
been the four weeks that have elapsed
since that day, Feb. 2, when the ground
hog was supposed to come out and take
a squint for his shadow. He didn't see
a sign of his shadow this year, which,
according to the. old prophesy, meant
that he stayed out for spring had
come.
The month Of February 1914. accord
ing to the monthly meteorological
issued by Mrs. Grasse of the
local station yesterday, was the cold
est corresponding month since 1904, the
report showing the mean temperature
8 degrees below the normal. During a
period of .thirty-three years there have
been three corresponding months when
it has been colder and only twice be-
fore has the record for 1914 been equal
ed.
The mean daily temperature for the
month was zero, the highest was AZ

erees below zero, Feb. Z. There were
nine days during the month when the
temperature did not rise to zero. The

Stanton. n. D., March 5.-According
to the latest ru4lors Stanton is to have
another connecting line of the North

west from here to Dunn county. The

original plans for, the eastern end; of
the line from Lewiston, Mont. 1t
Will not, cross. the, river where it had

Binboards Don't Pay,

New York has more billboards, roof
signs, and illuminated advertising
signs than any other city in the world.
The mayors billboard advertising com
mission, which lately reported, say
that most of the 100000 square feet
of billboard advertising is taken up by
whisky, cigaret, amusement and
similar advertisements.
Billboards have become a nuisance
because We have not yet learned the
meaning of good taste in street adver-
Using, according to DR.. ]. P. Haney,
director of art in the New York high
schools, who addressed the Municipal
Art society on ARTISTIC Advertising in
Europe" &c..
Cur lack Of taste" said Dr.. Haney,
make itself evident in our willing
ness to submit to abuses in advertis-
ing displays which, abroad are prohib-
tied by stringent laws" Not only
would regulation produce artistic re-
suits, but it could be made a matter of
profit as we'll.

Minot, N. D., March 5.-The coro-
ner's jury in the Greek death mystery
finally brought in the above verdict
yesterday after thoroughly probing
| every possible point and using in the
Icourse of their inquest twenty-five
witnesses. Coroner Doe is to be conn.,
plimented upon the systematic and eX-
haustive manner in which this inquest
was conducted and his jury arrived at
the above ambiguous decision after
hours n days of d~e1ibcration on all
the evidence shown. 1t is probable that
no other verdict could awe been rem
dered from the evidence submitted and
there can be no doubt that city, coun-
ty and state officials have dom every
thing possible to cooperate with Cor
oner~ Doe in he probing of this mys-
terry. ....
Game to their death by means, of
fire, according to the evidence shown
leaves plenty of room for theories Of
other agencies and, the Greeks of the
city as well as a large number of 9TH,
ers, are firm in their belief that foul
play had aided in the death of these
two men and that robbery at least had
been committed previous to the burn
ing of the shack.
John Zevas, brother of Spero, the
dead man, at the hearing continued, to
demand an explanation of several
facts which are still confusing to the
officials, namely, the disappearance of
the money, revolver and watch which
Spero had o. his person UP to the last
few hours of HIS life. John Twas came
to a representative of The Reporter
this morning after the hearing and
said: .. ., IT,
Il am satisfied with the verdict Of
the coroner's jury as they did all they
could to find some clues that would
| please tell me-, If you can, where are
the things of my brothers? Where is
the money, $500, which he had? Where
is the blue steel revolver which he al
ways carried, : and where is the fine
watch that he, owned? If my brother
Spero was merely burned to death,
where are these things which he own
ed n carried?" 'r'r .,,.,.,..1-. ;s.-
