Time, While Tenor Hears the
Days News Read.

Enrico Caruso improved SO rapidly
yesterday that at O'Clock last night
his physicians yielded to his repeated
requests and allowed him to sit up in
bed. The chances Of his recovery, it
was said at the Vanderbilt, are re-
garded as excellent, though the fever
from the Inflammation OF the pleura
still hangs on and his powers Of resist
ance have been greatly weakened by
the terrific struggle, which he has put
up for nearly a week against what
seemed like certain death.
If Caruso continues to improve un-
til Tuesday he will be practically out
of danger. His case, the physicians
said, demands constant attention and
the most careful observation. Bruno
Zirato, the singers secretary. gave out
the following at $3.50 o'clock last
night:
For the first time since his relapse
Mr.. Caruso sat up this evening. sup
ported by pillows and assisted by his
nurse and valet. He has been asking to
do this since morning and was pleased
when the physicians gave him pernlis-
sion.
The tone Of the kilograms which we
have received to-day has changed from
anxiety to joy at the news that Mr..
Caruso is on the road to recovery"
No Visitors Allowed.
The sick room was banked with flow
ers last night With the news of
Caruso's Improvement there came a line
of messenger boys carrying packs Of
flowers. Absolute quiet has been pre-
scribed by the physicians. Nobody saw
Caruso yesterday except his wife and
children and his secretary. 1t probably
will be many days before more visitors
are admitted
The five physicians attending Caruso
Issued the following bulletin at IL A. NJ
yesterday; Mr. Caruso has continued to
improve. Although his fever has not
subsided. his course is progressing in q
satisfactory manner"
The next consultation will be held at
10 80 O'Clock this morning. and unless
there Is a serious change for the worse
no bulletins will be issued in the mean
time DR.. Francis j. Murray, house
physician OF the Vanderbilt and Or.
Antonio Stella were in attendance last
night
Caruso had his favorite breakfast yes
terday. consisting of eggs, toast and
coffee. For lunch he had a small breast
OF chicken and some broth There was
marked Improvement in his appetite
over the day before
The brighter eyes, the better color
and the increased alertness were easily
noticeable TO all who saw him. At one
time he asked the physicians to allow
him to sit up, but they refused ad.
yisinE him to remain quiet because OF
the wound in his side. This cavity has
been open since the operation OF De-
cember 30. and, though it causes him
little palm now, still Is an important
factor in his condition.
Caruso asked for newspapers again
but had to content himself with listen

AN ERROR CORRECTED-WEST
AND TRINkLE.

The Clinch Valley News stated last
week that Mr. Boiling Handy was
Mr.. Trinkle's Campaign manager in
the ninth. This was an error. Mr..
Trinklc writes, calling attention to
the mistake, and adds: 81 have no
connection whatever with Mr.. Gil
pin in this fight, and am absolutely
running independent of any candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor. Mr..
Gilpin's state manager is doing ev-
erything in the world he can against
me in this fight, so you can readily
see that the editorial does me an
injustice"
The Clinch Valley News is glad
to make the correction, and to know
and to assure the readers of this pa
per, that Mr.. Trinkle's candidacy for
Governor is in no way whatsoever
connected with that of Mr. Gilpin.
The people of the Ninth, and of
the State as well want neither Mr..
Tucker nor Mr.. Gilpin, but will vote
almost solidly for Trinkle and West.

RICHMOND FOR TRINKLE.

In another column of this paper is
published letter from Mr.. B. w.
Wilson, President of the large pa
per firm of B. W. Wilson & Co., Rich
mond, which explains itself. The
Richmond citizen who stated in this
office that "You hear nothing in Rich
mond but Tucker" was evidently n
Tucker enthusiast. His remark was
published for what it was worth,
which was not much it seems, from
Mr.. Wilson's letter, and other re-
ports received here since.
A letter from Mr.. Trinklc, among
other things, says: a am as certain,
to carry Richmond as you are liv-
ing, and it is generally admitted
now" What is true of Richmond i.
no doubt equally true of Eastern
Virginia. "Forword-not Backward
is the Trinkle slogan. We believe the
voters Of this section have already
decided that Trinklc should be ant

RICHMOND FOR TRINKLE
(Comm,lnicated)

Editor Clinch Valley News:
In the Clinch Valley News OF
March 18th you published n state
ment of n citizen Of Richmond to the
effect that Nothing but Tucker is
heard in Richmond" Such q state
ment or even such an insinuation
could only eminate from one who is
so biased in his views that the truth
is secondary in the promotion of his
candidates success or he has not
been in Richmond since Senator
Trinkle's candidacy was announced.
1t is perfectly evident in. my mind
that this citizen of Richmond who is
discounting Honorable Lee Trinkle's
strength in the Capital City is not
informed on local political conditions
here or in this section. AS voter
and business man of Richmond, meet
ing all classes of people and avail
ing myself of every opportunity to
discuss the strength of the two cam
didates, | am thoroughly convinced
that Senator Trinkle's popularity is
easily in the prcponderance. The bus
mess mon of Richmond are partic-
ularly strong for Trnklc for Gov
einor and the younger men are al
most solid for him. From my obser-
walton Tucker has many friends but
they are of the less progressive
element. We are counting on n big
majority of the women voters to sup
port our candidate. There is strong
evidence of this and visit to the
Irinklc Headquarters will convince
anyone of Trinkle's strength and
popularity rs candidate in whom
our women have the utmost confid
ence to lead Democracy in our State.
Richmond has Il thriving "rrinkle
Club" with headquarters on Il prom
lnent down town street, with Col.
james j. Pollard in charge. Up to
the present time | am not aware
that MIR. Tucker is as we'll organic
ed. Our club is Il beehive for activi-
ty and its membership consists of
both men and women prominent in
kichmond's business, civic, social and
political activities. all of whom are
pulling strong for Trinklc for Gov
crnor.
Finally may say, anyone who
reads the Richmond newspapers only
would believe there was "nothinr to
it but Tucker" The papers here
seem to be "sewed up" for Tucker
and apparently violate ethics of their
business in their efforts to iniure
Trinklc. am inclined to believe
fucker gets their support because
he is Il wet" man and they want n
wet man for Governor regardless of
how the affairs of our State shall be
administered
us ridiculous Mr.. Editor. for any
one to unqualifedly state that Tuck
CT Will carry Richmond. It's absurb
and preposterous, and If he does it
VIII surprise both Mr.. Tucker and
his friends here.
Very truly yours,
ID. w. WILSON.

REPUBLICANS AFTER "A SEAT

Mr.. Harding has minated if not
positively stated, that the govern
ment Offices will be filled by Repub-
leans, even to the disregard of civil
service rules. "To the victors belong
the spoils,' is the slogan.
OF course there should not be nj
once, a wholesale sweep of postmas-
tiers and their places filed by lot
of inexperienced men, in which case
business would be seriously disturb.
ed and hindered. Nevertheless, there
are many thousands of hungry Re
publicans who are crowding the doors
anxious for seat at the pie-count

headsman's axe is not kept busy ant
