gram was no exception. but
rather a substantiation of this
statement. 1t comprised purely
organ numbers, arrangements
and transcriptions, illustrating
the features and characteristics
of many schools and styles of
organ music.
The new Sonata. Opus A, by
Becker, consisting of a musi-
cianly prelude. a delightful pas
torale and a final full of life
and rhythmic vigor, proved a
very interesting work. The Per-
sian Suite, by Stoughton. is a
very unique composition, full of
oriental color and effects. The
Festival Prelude, Faulkes, and a
brilliant rendering of the Torch

of larger numbers. An Evening
Idyl. by Gatty Sellars, dedicated
to Mr.. Eddy, was beautifully
played. 1t received a more sat

played here recently by the COM

His Characteristics.
The characteristics of Mr..
Eddy's work are sure and
ample technique. skillful regis
tration, refined taste and beauti-
full expression, keen analysis
which enables him to grasp and
bring out the salient and inter
esting points of a composition,
fine sense of rhythm, artistic
style and a broad and mastery
control of his instrument.
Personally, Mr.. Eddy is vener-
able, graceful, dignified, delib-
crate and assuring - qualities
which make for the enjoyment
of his performance. His recital
last night will set standard
which will rule In jamestown
for some time to come.

Reports reaching General Funston
late today indicated that difficulty Of
transportation might be added to by
efforts of Villa sympathiZers along

communication.
Word came from Alpine, Texas,
that an attempt had been made to
hold up a train bearing ambulance
company No. 7 and hospital company
No. from Fort Sam Houston to III
Paso by six MeXicans last night. The
attempt was frustrated because the
engineer sighted the MeXicans along
the track and stopped his train. The
MeXicans fled but three were cap
tured.
Measures have been taken TO frus-
trate any similar attempts. 1t will be

communication between the various
troop stations, however, General

Everywhere he plays Nj. Eddy is
hailed as the greatest living organist,
and on many occasions he has dc-
tdally swayed large audiences from
laughter to tears and back again with
his almost superhuman control of the
massive instrument. Recently he gave
a concert at jamestown, y. Y, and
the Evening journal of that city com
mented on the affair as follows:
Mr.. Eddy is an artist Of ma
tional reputation and, as re-
suit of his long and honorable
career and of his wide experience,
he may be looked upon as the
dean of American organists. 1t is
10 years since he visited James
town and played on the organ in
the Unitarian church. His ap-
pearance and performance in any
city is matter of great interest
on account Of his unauestioned
ability, his European successes
and the demand for his services
at practically all the great worlds
exhibitions.
