The Salvation Army last night gave
out the following statement:
with real winter weather here the
poor of this city are har | hit. 1t 10
true not so many men are out or
work. but the re are many women
who have to work by the day and for
very small wages and this work is
getting slack along certain line.
Many women of middle age and over.
who cannot work in stores here must
find employment as best hey can and
are now facing cold and hunger.
AT middle age and over one Is
very sensitive to cold and to go with
out proper food is distressing. Ono
would hardly -beffeve there are so
many families in this city without Z
man or father to provide for them,
but the charity register OF the Saliva
ton Army shows this very clearly.
One could hardly expect a mother
with little children to properly pro-
vide for every need of her home and
little ones. There are many mothers
who must and do act as the head OF
the home. She has a struggle and
she must be helped. To help her
means helping her children.
Proper help at the proper time
keeps sickness out of these families:
should they be neglected they be-
come greater burden to any char
ity that aids them and the Salvation
Army would like to supply them with
wood, groceries and clothes. Tho
contribution of money the Salvation
Army takes up In their meetings and
in the tambourine make it very hard
for the Army to supply these needs.
Money Is needed to supply 100
needy homes with wood for fire. Five
thousand secondhand garments for
women and children are needed. Do
nations of money, wood, coal and
clothes will be promptly called for
"A good percentage OF old folks
who are not able to work call daily
on the Army folkS for help.
Good warm bed clothin~ and reut
is needed for them. Men can do
pretty much for themselves. but moth
ers, children, sick folks and the aged
are somebody's care and must be
looked after.
The hands of the Salvation Army
are tied and it is earnestly hoped
that the army in apealing for funds
for its charity department that friends
will send in donations to the army

TWO CARLOADS OF
SARD|NES SEIZED

Two carloads OF sardines. alleged by
the government TO be adulterafed
within the meaning Of the pure food
drug act. were seized yesterday at the
Virginia Bonded Warehouse by United
States Marshal J. @. Saunders. There
are said to be something like 1000
boxes ip each OF the cars.
The sardines were shipped to Rich
moud from n concern In Maine. and
arrived in Richmond the latter part
of last week. The Department OF
Agriculture notified the United States
authorities Of the shipment Saturday.
and yesterday Marshal Saunders Eot
out the necessary papers and then
made the seizure.
This will mean that the sardines
will have to remain intact until the
matter is brought before q Jury In the
United States District Court Judge
Waddiil left yesterday to open court
in Norfolk. and it is hardly probable
that the case will be given hearing
before the April term OF court.

and later at University College, Lon

Mrs. Craigie gained a very broad
education, dipping into many subjects
that most women of her day did not
touch in their schooling. Her wide
travels helped to give her much In

BOSTON SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA SCORES
Miss Florence Hinkle Pleases as So
lois,-Dr. Kari Muck is
Conductor.

The Boston symphony Orchestra gave
It's frst matinee Of the season yester-
day afternoon. at the New National
Theater to a crowded and enthusiastic
house. DR.. Karl Muck conducted the
orchestra while the soloist OF the oc-
casion was Miss Florence Hinkle.
The first Number was Beethoven's
symphony in major. No. Z, which was
played as only the Boston Symphony
Orchestra can play 1T. The first ana
second movements never lose their charm
and the fourth continues to be the least
thing tedious. After q brief interval
Miss Hinkle sang Mozart Aria. "voi,
che sapete," from THE Marriage OF
Fisard.' Her beautiful soprano was
shown of well by the leisurely and
melodious II not very interesting number
but the effect was a little spoilt by her
restless manner
The second number by the orchestra
was Richard wagner's beautiful ''Sieg-
fried IdyL" Written at the brightest
period of the composers life-a gift to
his wife at the time of their sons birth
the Idyle, which is based upon certain OF
the themes of Siegfried," CLOVIS with
happiness. II was weel received and DR..
Muck's admirable Interpretation Of tbs
beautiful music was properly recognized.
Miss Hinkle followed II with Bruch's
Ave Maria (from the 'Feuerkreuz"J.
a highly dramatic but not very tunefui
considering the subject. II
was superbly sung, however. and Miss
Hinkle more than deserved the ens
thusiastic applause that recalled her to
the stage again and again. The con-
GLIDING number was the well known
Prelude to die Metstersinger."
The next performance Of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra will be given ON
30. Fritz Kreisler, the violin
list, will be the soloist and the orchestra
viii again be under the able leadership
OF DR.. Karl Muck.
