RICCARDo MARTIN
The famous tenor who alternated
with Caruso at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House.

Read what H. L. Finck, the lead
ing New York critic, says in the New
York Evening Post:
In the evening two American ten
ors, Ricardo Martin and Edward
Johnson, and a new American So
prano, Frances Papertte, shared the
honors with mere foreigners like
Rosa Raisa and Titta Ruffo -. d.
1t was great treat to hear the voice
of Riccardo Martin again. AS he
sang the Siciliana during the over
ture, with mellow, golden voice, un-
forced, and saturated with emotion,
in the true Italian style, one recalled
the time when Lillian Nordica, on
entering the Metropolitan, mistook
his voice for Caruso's. He still is
the Caruso of American tenors. Chi
cago, a few weeks ago, was excited
over his Sigmund, which was call
ed by the critics the best ever heard
there,

o'clock this afternoon after two hours of argument by attorneys for the state and the defendant railways over a motion made by General At torney s. R. Prince of the Southern, asking that the railways be given further time.
 In asking for a continuance of the trial Mir Prince and Attorney A. s. Bozeman declared that neither Vice President and General Counsel L. E. JeffrIes of the Southern, who has charge of this litigation for the Southern, nor Attorney J. Blanc Monroe, who has general charge of the case for the Northeastern and the Alabama and Vicksburg roads, could attend court in Meridian at this time and that the railroads are entitled to further time by reason of objections recently filed by the state to certain exhibits which form part of the testimony of some of their important witnesses.
 The inability of MT. Jcffrles to take part in the case now Is on account of recent bereavement in his family while Mir. Monroe is engaged in im- portant litigation in New York in trial, the date of which was set prior to the setting of the time for this case.
 Attorney General Frank Roberson and Attorneys s. A. Witherspoon, for the state, argued that the attorneys for the railways had not stated suf- ficient grounds for continuing the case and that the court should pro eeed with the trial

record of the negotiations leading up to them. It is expected that all will be submitted to the treaty ratifying body at one time, and they may be taken to the capitol by MT. Harding in person before the end of the week
 Viewing the conference in retro- spect, all the delegations renewed after today's meeting their expres- sions of qualification over tho re- suits. The burden of their comment gave precedence to the naval limita- tion agreement and the readjust- ments affecting China as constituting the crowning achievements of the negotiations.
 The plenipotentiaries Of Japan who aloae among the nine nations came into tho conference with resery- stions and with apparent popular ap- prehension as to the outcome, joined in the general manifestations of sat isfaction. In the naval treaty pro vision establishing fortifications status quo" in the Pacific, and in the power Pacific pact the Japanese delegates believe they are taking home powerful weapons with which to check the efforts of tho militaris- tSc party to build up a national bogey of an American aggressive war in the far east. The Japanese are said to hold that, although entering the con ference fearing Japan might be plac- ed on trial before the world for in- cidents in which she took & hand in the past, nothing of the sort took place and they can return to Tokio not only without loss of prestige but with pledges of peace.

Getting rid of the rheumati at this late day completely mystife S me. for l had had it for 50 years and had spent thousands of dollars . was the statement made recently by William H. Hayes, well-known res ident of RoXbury, Miss, in relating his remarkable experience with Tan lac. Mir. Hayes has been identified with the people of Roxbury for forty years and is highly respected and esteemed by all who know him.
 This rheumatism got me when just lad in my teens and, while resorted to every known remedy, I kept getting worse as the years went by. For the past few years every bone in my body seemed to be ach- ing clean to the marrow and my joints would get so stiff and sore 1t was agony to bend them. For two years past the pains in my feet and legs were so intense for days at time that I could not put my feet on the ground. When l did get out l simply had to hobble along at snails pace. The pains finally set tied in my arms, shoulders and hands. These two hands were SO swollen and out of shape I could not hold pen or pencil to write letter I couldn't sleep at night, saw no ease or comfort during the day and life was truly a burden.
 Well, I was just about ready to give up the fight when my attention was called to Tanlsc. How this med icine has done 1t I don't know, but I do know I haven't an ache or pain, and l believe I could get out there and walk a distance of five miles and make it in record time.
