TERESA CARRENo.
Celebrated Pianist Without Peer Among the Players Of Her Own Sex.


 All signs indicate that the Slater hall concert course for the season of 1914 will break all records in the mat ter of attendance and the coming of Teresa Carreno has helped greatly to bring this about. The magic of Car reno's art has awakened deep emo tons in young. middle-ageds and in the elderly music lovers. As 8 pianist she is without peer among the players Of her own sex, and when com pared to the players of the sterner sex she loses nothing, for her playing has sure technique, tone of velvety,l belllike beauty and when it comes to delivery 1t matters not what the composition may be, her art transcends all and every listener is thrilled.
 It is related that during the famous Rubinsteins last memorable tour of America, Teresa Carreno, then 1S years old and already famous as a pianist, attended the Rubinstein re- citals whenever she could get away from her own work. Having met the celebrated Russian, she had received from him standing invitation never to miss calling at the green room af- ter each concert. As soon as the lovely Carreno entered the room, RuDinstein would excuse himself and run coward the door to meet the young pianist, whose talents he declared were no less phenomenal than his own. Frequently during Rubinstein's visit to America, he visited Madame Carreno's home and asked her. to play for him. These oc- casions seemed to rekindle the spirits of the great man who was often, de- spite his success, victim of melan- choly. Rubinstein hated America, blt he often told his friends that Carreno, who played the piano with great art, was one of, the most beautiful and in- teresting subjects of the country The Carreno recital will take place In Slater Memorial hall this evening Admission $2. All seats reserved. Seats are now on sale at the store l of George A. Davis, where they can be secured up to ?. m. today and after that at Slater hall before the opening | of the concert Patrons are requested 1 to be In their seats a few minutes. be- 1 fore s o'clock as the concert will be- gin promptly at that hour.

workmen at the pumping station at Poquonoc are engaged in taking up the pipe from the test well recently sunk and then abandoned. This pipe will later be used in another we'll. A two inch well was decided upon at recent meeting of the water commits sioners and committee and work will be begun as soon as the pipe arrives. This work will be done by George Fritts and is made possible through the generosity of Mir.
