SCORES WITH CONCERT
Performance Proves Best Of Or

Quite the most delightful concert
Of its career was given by the Choral
Club Of the 7. W. c. A, under Its d.
rector. Mrs. A. n. Blair, before a
large and appreciative audience at
the Wilson Normal School last eve
ming. The club was assisted by the
Musurgia ouartette, who met with
great success in both quartet work
and IN solos.
Mrs. Blair, in this, the third chorus
she has given her services to in Wash
ington during the past ten years, has
again proven how vital and valuable
q factor she IL In the local music
world. The club sings with feeling,
taste and really artistic detail OF eI-
preston In Interpretation
Three choruses with solos present
ed q wide range Of music. Mrs. Edith
Fitch Hoppe sang the incidental solo
to Song OF the Thistledrift" OF Foster
with such musical sweetness and
appeal that II had to be repeated The
song that has meant so much to Eng
land, keep the Home Fires Burning"
by Novello, was given by Earl Car
bauh and chorus in rousing effect,

The Neidlinger chorus was perhaps
the finest, with Its shading and varied

tone and clear attack, while two
waltz songs were most rhythmic and
q Coleridge Taylor group was given
with musical contrast and much
charm
The ouartette has achieved q dis

Mrs. Gawler after singing Spring

SUNDAY WILL NOT
CURTAM N. Y. STAY
Evangelist Planned to Re-
main Only Ten Weeks.
LAUGHS AT POSSIBLE DEFICIT
Says City Will Pay Onfers With
General Bridges.

NEW YORK, May 15.-There may
be people in this big baby town." as
Mr.. Sunday calls It, who think he is
closing his campaign two weeks
ahead Of time, and also that he Is
worrying about a possible expense
deficit when fnis is writ after his ef-
forts to make Manhattan a righteous
place OF abode. He is doing neither.
He settled these questions once for all
last night as he sat opposite Mac
Mcdonald in his temporary home on
Northern avenue and tried to trim the
former journalist at ''Tiddledy
winks."
With his friend and ma" Sunday
the evangelist had just returned from
q long stroll up the rivers edge and
30 he was In fine fettle for the game,
q genuine relaxation for one OF the
few moments of rest on his so-caIled
rest day.
He was told the impression had
gotten abroad he was to give New
York the benefit OF three months OF
his peppery sermons, and asked why
he had so suddenly decided to quit
June II. as he announced at the pas
tors luncheon during the afternoon
Came to Stay Ten Weeks.
IF anybody thinks" he remarked
as Q white chip bounced from the
table and landed squarely in the little
glass receptacle, shat came here
for three months that's their mistake
and not mine. Goodness knows it's
hot enough by June IT, and anyway
that is as long as have ever worked
in my twenty years OF experience. i
never worked that long but once be-
fore-last year in Kansas City. I
came here to stay ten weeks, and
that's what I'm doing"
He explained another consideration
which would make IL unwise for him
to extend his time here longer. After
leaving New York he had expected
to take Q complete rest until October
and then go to Chicago for q meeting.
The Chicago campaign, however, was

Ing up his fall engagements almost
a month and thereby cutting down

When asked concerning the rumor'
ed possible deficit in the expense &C
counts Billy laughed.
There will be no deficit" he said.
1T wouldn't taste good In New York's
mouth There is too much interest in
the meetings and too much local pride
Tor such thing to happen. You
know, big city like this would not
be the FIRST to fall down on expenses,
especially when am giving my time
here for nothing.
New York Meetings @AmnEIng.5
These New York meetings have
been the most wonderful I've ever
known in all my experience" he add
ed a minute later. They have been
amazing"
He said virtually the same thing to
about 200 ministers who entertained
him at the Hotel Savoy early In the
afternoon, and warned them II would
be up to them" to conserve the work
after he had left The luncheon was
given by the executive committee Of
the William A. Sunday Evangelistic
Association.
Referring to the criticisms of his
language Billy remarked that he
knew ministers whose diction was
purer but who didn't get what they
went after.
The response Of the elergymen,
especially the Eplscopalians, was
noticeably cordial and sympathetic.
By q rising vote they pledged them
selves to cooperate in every way for
the success Of the campaign
Confers With British Officers
As usual the self-styled rest day had
little rest In It for Billy. In the
morning he visited his dentist. Be-
sides addressing the pastors In the
afternoon he held q private confer

RECLUSE HAD FORTUNE.
Gold Coin and Certificates Of Deposit
Found After His Death.

Gold Coin and Certificates of Deposit
Found After His Death.
Pendleton, Ore.-In an investigation
of the death of Johnson W. Willard, an
aged recluse of the farming district
southeast of Milton, Coroner Brown
discovered gold coin and certificates of
deposit amounting to more than $751;
CO., They were tucked away In every
conceivable place. An old vest hang
ing in a closet yielded several hundred
dollars In gold.
Three or four purses were found
packed with coin. In addition to this,
Mr.. Willard owned the ranch where he
lived, valued at $4,000. One daughter,
Mrs. HILL survives. Her home is In
Montana.
Mr.. Willard lived entirely to himself
since the death of his wife three years
ago, and the room she used to occupy
had been locked. 1t was there, In the
bottom Of trunk, that several Of the
certificates Of deposit were found.
During the past few years Mr.. VIII
lard leased his ranch, retaining only
the house and a bit of ground, where
he raised small garden. He settled
on homestead In 1869, just after the
war, and in the typhoid epidemic of
1878 lost all his children but the one
daughter. Mr.. Willard was eighty-six.

QUEEN Gets REST
Elizabeth Broken Down by Desti-

RECUPERATES IN FLORENCE.

FIorentines Had Never Seen Her Be-
fore, and In Street Her Frail Figure
Attracted No Attention-None Per-
nitted to Do Her Homage as Queen
of Stricken Land.
Rome.-Elizabeth, queen of the Bel
CLANS, is in Florence, where she VIII
spend four or five months In strict IN
cognita. She is the first royal visitor
to the city since the terrible CONNECT
began. The large, distinguished, exotic
colony that dwelt in Florence all the
year around began to dispense In 1914,
and today only few aged English and
American women are left behind to re-
mind the Florentine cabby of the pros
porous time that was.
The city itself has undergone con-
siderable change. The number or CABS
has been reduced, practically all of the
tea rooms have been shut down ow-
ing to lack of patronage, and the well
known Florentine art world is today

represented by only few aged painters
and sculptors too old to wear uni
form.
The citys chief function in the pres
ent war Is to nurse back to health the
sick and the wounded, and for this pur-
pose every villa on the wooded hills
surrounding the city has been convert
ed either into a hospital or a SAM
tarium for convalescing officers not
only Of the Italian army, but of the
Servian and English as well.
The Florentines had never seen the
queen before, and In the street the
frail figure of Elizabeth attracted no at
tention whatever. 1t was only when
her Unborn interest in hospitals and
medical clinics in general brought her
in contact with the italian Red Cross
that her identity was disclosed.
Yet when visiting hospitals nobody Is
permitted to render to her the homage
due to a queen. For the nurses of the
Red Cross, as we'll as the doctors and
orderlies, the queen is simply French
countess.
Colonel d'Autremont, who accom-
panies the queen, said that three years
of incessant work in Belgian Red Cross
hospitals and among the destitute
population of the little kingdom had
begun to tell on the queen, who is not
constitutionally very strong. A trip
abroad and long rest in different sur
rounding became imperative.
With the arrival Of the queen the
public has also learned that her daugh-
ter, Princess Mary Josephine, will be
educated In Italy and at the expense
of the Italian nation. In connection
with this 1t is related that soon after
the English government decided to edu-
cate Prince Charles, King Albert's sec
ond son, the italian government re-
quested the privilege Of looking after
the education of the princess. The royal
parents accepted, and the princess, who
Is a girl of twelve, will enter the Col
lege of the Annunciata, where only
girls belonging to the nobility are ad-
mitted

CARNEGIE IN NEW MANSION.
Estate at Lenox Said to Be Equalsd
Only by Biltmore.

Only by Biltmore.
Lenox, Mass.-Into Shadow Brook
entered its new owner, Andrew Carne-
gle. 1t is said that for size, elegance
and beauty of natural surroundings no
private residence In the United States,
with the exception of Mrs. Vanderbilt
Biltmore, bears comparison with Shad-
ow Brook.
With Mrs. Carnegie and Miss Mar
garet Carnegie he arrived at Lenox In
Charles M. Schwab's private car. With
the party were Mr.. Carnegie's physi-
clan, his valet and other attendants.
He was assisted from the car to an au-
tomobile and was driven Immediately
to Shadow Brook, three miles from the
station.
His apartments are on the second
floor Of the great house and have a
beautiful outlook on Lake Mahkeenac.
The house was deliberately decorated in
spring flowers from the gardens Of the
estate. Mrs. Carnegie and Miss Carne-
gle have rooms on the same floor. There
are twenty large rooms with fireplaces
on this floor and many other rooms.
Mr.. Carnegie expects to pass seven
months at his new American home.

AVIATION SERVICE NOT
THE MOST DANGEROUS
Records of Allies Show 1t Is
Fourth In the Percentage of
Casualties.

Washington. - Contrary to- popular
opinion, the air service of the army, al
though perhaps the most thrilling
branch, is not the most dangerous.
Captain Aubrey Lippincott, in charge
of the personnel of the signal corps OF
the army, says the records of our al
lies put air service fourth in the per-
centage Of losses. The heaviest losses
have been in the medical corps. next IN
infantry and third in artillery.
Although applications have been nu'
merous for enrolment in the six cadet
schools for flyers recently opened, Cap
tain Lippincott says many more men
will be needed before the end of the
year. One hundred and fifty men are
trained weekly. Enough men have been
accepted to keep the schools supplied
with recruits for more than two
months, but several thousand will be
required later on, as the supply of men
must be constantly augmented
Only a small percentage of the men
who apply for enrolment in cadet
aviation schools at the universities OF
California, Texas, Illinois and Ohio,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and Cornell can be accepted The re-
quirements are stricter than in any
other branch of the service. The i'm.
preston that only college graduates
are admitted is incorrect, but sub
stantial foundation for intensive tech
meal training is necessary. 1t has oft
en- been found that three years at col
lege or it's equivalent gives a man the
knowledge which makes the training
come with reasonable rapidity.
