Music
Roderick " hite Appears in Uni.
form at Violin Recital at
Aeolian Hall

Roderick White, a young violinist,
who appeared in uniform, gave
recital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. Mr.. White is as yet in no way
remarkable, though he evidently has
3 sound musical instinct and some
technical proficiency. He lacks, how
ever, in vigor and breadth Of style, and
his tone, while pure, is of no par
ticular sensuous beauty. He was best
yesterday in the shorters numbers o.
his programme, in Randegger's ga
Vote ct Musette' and in Pence's
Les Farfadets." He played also the
Greg + major sonata and the Nieux-
temps concerto in F. sharp minor. He
was greeted by an audience Of eN-
celient size.
Charles Nj. Courboin, Belgian or
ganist, gave q recital last night at
4Eoian Hall, devoting his programme
entirely to the works Of Pietro A. Non.
the organist Of the Church of St. Fran
els Xavier. Mr. Courboin is a musician
of admirable abilities, and though he
might have added 70 his Offering other
works than those Of Mr.. Yon, his re-
cltal was nonethe-less thoroughly en-
joyable. Mr. Yon is composer who
knows the possibilities of the organ
and who writes for it with that knowl-
edge
Among the number was an "Ameri-
can Rhapsody" in which Mr. Yon en-
Ployed with considerable skill, my

DEER VS. ELEPHANTS

The deer damage problem is not
one that has been given a large
amount of consideration by the pres
ent legislature. The change in the
statute permitting q farmer to shoot
a deer whenever one of the animals
is found eating his produce and the
frightening OF the open season have
apparently worked out an adjust
ment.
There is no denying that the deer
have been a nuisance in some sec
lions of the state but 1t is to be
doubted that the farmers who have
suffered the most damage would wish
to see the deer exterminated. The
Vermont farmer whose beans have
been nibbled and whose turnips have
been set back because the deer trim
med the tops is in position to, sym.
pathize with the agriculturists in a
certain section of South Affica who
are in a bad way because the ele-
plants have drunk all the water.
George E. Donnelly of the postof-
fee staff has recently received let
