TRUTHS MOTTO

"By Strength Shall No Man Pre-
vail" l Sam. 2:3.
However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes
With fluttering flags and prancing nags
And echoing roll of drums,
Still Truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light:
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.
age
Though the enemy seems to have
won,
Though his ranks be strong, if he be in
the wrong,
The battle is not yet done.
For sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

Maud Powell. one of the really great
violinist, comes to Harrisburg Thurs
day evening, April s, appearing in
Joint recital with Evan Williams, the
eminent Welsh tenor, in the Chestnut
Street auditorium. The musical critic
of the Brooklyn Standardization says
of her: without any doubt the great
est woman violinist in the world and
the peer of many famous men play
ers. There are very few corners of
the musical world that Madame Powell
has not visited, and she has always
won her spurs because she has always
been a magnificent artist and a sterl
ing woman. Years only mellow her
work"
1t is a known fact that fewer women
rise to a place of distinction among
violinists than in any other musical
instrument, which goes to show how
highly esteemed is Maud Powell in the
opinions of the leading critics and
musicians. and Walter Anthony re-
marks: ITO say that she plays as we'll
as a man would be to flatter all the
men in the world"
Madame Powell will play many old
favorites as we'll as new members.

FEMALE MINSTREL HIT OF FIVE
POINTS, KEEPS HOUSE
ROARING.

One of the most unique entertain
ments given this season by local tai
ent was the Female Minstrel, under
the auspices of the Sojourner Truth
Club Thursday evening of last week.
at Fern Hall. The production was,
as whole. worthy of unstinted praise
1t had the dash and spirit of real
minstrel show and vaudeville and the
roar of laughter that greeted each
number, abundantly testified to the
appreciation of the large audience.
Such salvo of applause greeted their
first appearance with the bones and
tams that 1t would have made the old
Al. G. Fields green with envy.
Mrs. Florence Cooper, the amiable
and enterprising president of the club,
was one in the leading role and oc-
cupied prominent place before the
footlights Mrs. Cooper's rare attain
ments along theatrical lines had until
that night been hidden, so to speak,
as "a light under a bushel" Her sing
ing, though her voice was not strong,
and dancing elected much applause

Mrs Maud Anderson's dancing.
Turkey In the Straw" brought forth
repeated applause and she was COM
PEELED to respond to a hearty encore.
The dancing of the whole company,
the soloists, and the choruses were ex-
ceptionally good, being the latest
catchy songs and the latest fantastic
steps Geo. Morrison's orchestra fur

the house in a burst of applause.
"Ballin the Jack the Fox Trot and
other dances added to the wit and
humor of the evening.
With Mrs. Laura B. Hill as inter1o-
cutor many good and new jokes we're
cracked ~rivaling the famous Richard
Pringle minstrels and others of ma
tional fame. The costuming was
unique and yet in keeping with min
strelsy. Black dress skirts, which. by
the way, are not any wider nowadays
than trousers, SO they served as well:
black dress coat. bright red ties and
white over CATERS. All used the cork
save the modest interlocutor, who re-
posed in prettily draped chair and
drew out the witticism of the COM
pany. The Chinese maidens in the
last act deserve special mention. do
ing their line of work admirably. Much
credit is due the president. Mrs Flor
ence Cooper. also Mrs. Maud Ander-
son and their corp of co-workers.
After the program the audience was
entertained by Geo. Morrison's orches-
ira until past midnight. Everybody
'sojourned" as long as they could as
the evening was delightfully."- spent.
