 James Gibbons Huneker the critic and composer. declares Mary Garden doesn't realize herself how unique she
 is," and then he proceeds to let a whole battalion of adjectives loose in his efforts to describe her. It is not easy to express the mex pressible Miss Gardens vocal art more definitely or more picturesouely than in MT. Huneker's remark in his Be- douins' that "she paints with her voice: and if the palette is composed of the cooler tones. if the silver greys and sombre greens of Velasquez pre- dominate it is because she needs just such a gamut with which to load her brush.''
 Miss Garden will be assisted in her
 concert here bv Gutia Casini. the Rus sian 'cellst. and Isaac Van Grove, pianist. This trio of artists will pre- sent a programme of beauty and ar tistry.
 Society will greet Miss Garden with eagerness. anticipating the first glimpse of this really beautiful crea- ture as she.steps upon the stage wear ing her famous gown of a thousand mirrors" which is said to be the most gorgeous creation ever seen on the con- cert stage

FAMOUS JUSTICE DEAD
Judge Crutchfield Was One of Rich.
 mond's Unique Characters
By Associated Press

1 i Richmond, Va, December 1.-The death
 here recently of Justice John Jeter Crutchfieid removed one of the most original characters in American lega annals. Justice of the Richmond police
 court for 32 years, Judge Crutchfield en- | joyed perhaps the widest reputation of any man holding similar office. Justice Crutchfield was born in Rich-
 mond, September 20, 1S44, and was edu-
 cated in the public schools here. Pos
 sessed of an abundance of natural wit and peculiar understanding of human nature, he was immensely popular. Mag azine stories were written of him and
 stage impersonations were made of the celebrated "One John,p he was some-
 times called.
 In the ''old days" as the anti-dry pe-
 riod was called, Judge Crutchfield knew
 all of the "old-timers." and when they
 began to appear on his docket too often,
 he would have them called before him and ask:
 Guilty or not guiltyr He knew his
 man every time, and when the prisoner
 would begin to humble and minimize his
 offense. Ten dollars or ten days would
 end the argument. Years ago there was character known here as Jimmy Jones'" Reports were that Jimmy and Justice Crutch- field served together in the Confederate army, but this never was confirmed. Jimmy" would appear before the jus tice at least once week, and when his trembling form would saunter up, this dialogue would usually follow: Good morning, MT. Jones' Good morning, Judge" What is the matter this time. MT. JonesT

long tune. The last time you were here l told you that if you came any more this
 year I would make it year. But you and cap compromise this matter. Now what is the best you can do?'' Jones would say he thought 10 days would be about right, but Justice John would hold out for six months, and ask Jimmy to set another figure. Jimmy S refusal to compromise further would bring from the judge the remark that "If you won't make it month, I will have to let you go with l5 days" whereupon Jimmy would threaten to quit com
 ing to this court" Usually he was re-
 leased when he became sober.
 Perhaps Justice Crutchfield was at his
 best when his courtroom was filled with
 sightseers. Then, he would add many
 fancy touches to the days dispensation
 of justice.

'OLD HOMESTEAD"
 JEFFERS0N--COM|NG

Those who love sweet music and those who enjoy the scent of new-mown hay can have their several tastes gratified by visit to Denman Thompson's The Old Homestead" That charming play has been before the public for B years and is now on It's thirty-fourth annual tour. It is the same simple story of rural life in New England that 1t was way back in 1886.
 The Augustus Pitou attractions are pre- senting the old play at the Jefferson theatre for four performances, beginning next Thursday, December 9, with spe- cial matinee Saturday.
 A cast of merit portrays the icharac- ters, some having been with the organi- zation since the early days of it's suc- l.. Patch, who has a record of 31 years to his credit; Charles Carter, who plays Cy Prime, and has been associated with the play since 1896. William Lawrence, who plays the character of Uncle Josh,r has been playing the part since 1904 and has played the part over 3,ooo times.
 r The famous double quartet is still in evidence and the Grace church by moon light, with the singing of the Psalms by the choir. always creates a deep and lasting impression ''The Old Homestead'' possesses more genuine laughs than a farce comedy.
