Miss Hemrcl on Classics.

II have some times thought that
the word classic applied to music
was one OF the most antagonistic
words in the English language said
Frieda Hempel the other day. at is
worse than a measles sign for keep
ing people away from concert.
The noted Metropolitan soprano
who will he heard in Richmond on
Friday evening. May 9Th. has fought
MANY battles for that misunderstood
word. Not long ago a presumptive
concert-goer asked her if she was a
classic singer or a popular singer. Miss
9Hempel meeklv hoped that she was
both. 'But you can't be-" came the
discouraginc comment. The singer
thereupon asked the man just what he
meant by classic and ne informed
her that "a classic was something one
didn't understand and wouldn't like
if he did"
Rather discouraging definition
admitted Miss Hemnel but there
was an element of truth In tia clas-
sic is not understood by its enemies.
classic to me Is like friend that is
worth while--tried and not found
wanting. II seems to me that friends
who have become true friends are gem
orally not the people who particularly
only met them eonce or twice. we
probably should not have cared much
for them. It was through. knowing
them, understanding them, that we
came 10 appreciate their worth.
"Thc ma jority OF people, particu-
larly in the smaller places. may not
have had an opportunity TO hear the
classics often. SO they really haven't
had fair chance TO understand them.
Sc far, tho man was right--but the
chances are that II he Knew any of
the classics well. he couldn't help Xix
ing them. even if he didn't want to-
eve all like to hear the things we
know, so we can talk about them az
terward: discuss them: iangle about
them if necessary. To he truthful,
added Miss Hempel, Eve like our own
opinions to count.
$50, don't run away from classic
Just on account of its name-for a
classic is truly like an old friend
not good because 1t is old, but old be-
cause 1t Is good"

Nevada SilUer Mines
Are in Great Demand

The scramble for silver properties
In Nevada Is assuming proportions
that are somewhat ridiculous in the
opinion OF the owner of a developed
property or the estimate of an opera
tor who has expended capital in bring
ing prospect to the producing state.
Frantic kilograms from New York and
other Eastern cities, directing agents
to purchase silver mines outright, or
TO take over prospects without pay
ments or any consideration, are COM
ing to hand every hour, indicating that
New York operators are appreciatiye
OF the opportunities for speculation
now afforded by silver properties.
Conditions In Nevada, however.
are such that most owners of good
prospects can find capital for develop
ment without a great deal of trouble.
As for real silver mines. there is no
record OF any for sale at any price.
Some of the scouts who have returned
TO San Francisco during the past few
days predict that some extravagant
prices will be paid this winter for
properties which might have been
purchased for a song less than a year
ago.-San Francisco Chronicle.

skilled a novelist to overlook the ap-
pealing element in the human beings

his prestige and popularity has been
derived from that very gift. Tie

strokes. yet the figures in his dramas
are essentially human and appealing.

"The Crimson Gardenia" is a melo-
dramatic mystery with New Orleans

feiters furnishes the sinister element

simplicity of girl, who has just
arrived from Paris and the ramantie
masculinity of a young New Yorker
eager for carnival of adventure. II
is one of the best stories from the pen
of Rex Beach, and one that will hold

Mixer Sfabs FelloU
Worker lUifh Pifchfork

At the Cook 4 Heitman ranch Mon
day morning Phil Banda and Tony
Aunada, two mixers engaged in a
heated argument, and when words fall
ed to give the desired result. Banda
grabbed a pitchfork and stabbed
Aunada in the back From the fact
that the latter was stabbed in the
back, suggests that he made an en-
deayor to retreat when he saw Ban
da approaching him with the deadly
weapon. Later Aunada, although
quite severely wounded. attacked his
enemy and with his bare hands bruised
Banda's head in such condition that
he found it necessary to go to hos
pital for treatment.
Aunada swore to warrant charg-
ing Banda with assault, nd he was ar
rested by Sheriff Nielsen.
Banda was given preliminary
hearing Wednesday and his case was
set for trial today.
The injured man was suffering
great pain Wednesday and it is fear
ed at this writing, that it will be nec-
cessary to open the wounds in his
back.

Hotel Ritchford To
Be Enlarged Soon
Increased and Growing
Business Makes Step
Necessary

With the building activity already
under way in Gardnerville as we'll as
taht scheduled to start next spring,
comes the announcement that the
Hotel Ritchford one of the best known
country hotels in Nevada, is to be en-
larged and remodeled during the COM
ing season. In conversation with a
representative of this paper Monday,
Mrs VIM. Richford stated that during
the past year or SO they had been un-
able to care for the business offered
because of lack of rooms, and at times
had turned away as high as twenty
people in single day. Although this
is supposed to be the quietest season
for hotels, Mrs. Ritchford stated that
the hotel could have at least twenty
five more regular guests, If they had
the room. To care for this Increasing
business. it is planned to remodel and
enlarge the hotel during the coming
season.
Mrs. Ritchford has been in personal
charge of this hotel for years, and
through her keen knowledge of the
business. has made her hotel famous
for its meals. Travelling men tell us
that there Is no hotel in Nevada or for
that part, in rural California, that sets
table equal to that of the Ritchford.
With the hotel building enlarged and
remodeled. it will give Gardnerville q
hotel equal to all occasions. When
the Ritchford hotel was built, Card
neryille was not the town it is today,
and the building then was considered
far ahead of the town The people of
this section as well as travellers. will
be pleased to learn of the decision to
enlarge this well known hotel.
