The strawberry crop on the N. Y.
P. & N. and B. C. & A. points of the
Delmarvia Peninsula the coming sea-
son will be the largest in the history
of the cultivation of the fruit. This
is the forecast of the Fruit Growers
Express Company, which represents
the Pennsylvania Railroad in the re-
frigeration business, based upon a
comprehensive survey of the entire
territory which has just been COM
pleted. The Fruit Growers Express
maintain a big ice plant at Clayton.
This estimate is gotten up annually
about six weeks before the start of the
shipping season and upon the result
of it the company bases its prepara-
tiOns for handling the commodity. The
information is CLEANED by ascertaining
the acreage as well as interviewing
growers, brokers and railroad agents
and is as authentic as is possible at
this stage of the game. An increas-
ed movement of 1000 cars is what the
refrigerator company is figuring on at
the present time, although figures are
revised each week according to wealth
er conditions, The actual movement of
cars last year by freight (Fruit Grow
ers' Express) and express from all
points was 2,026 cars while the ap-
proximate number which will roll this
year is placed at 3,0OO With 225
crates to the average car and 80 quarts
to the crate, this would foot up 21,-
100000 Gratis from the Peninsula
Multiplying this sum by 10 cents pei
quart, a SEEMINGLY fair average price
for the season, the outlook for returns
from this fruit would sum up $2,16O,
900. The earliest berries from thi.
Peninsula come from south of Onley
Va. Biting frosts have retarded the
growth of these berries and conse
quently shipments which would ordi
narily have started about May / will
be set back ten days.

CHORAL SOCIETY TO
GIVE "ELlJAH" TUESDAY

The Washington Choral Society,
Charles Wengerd, conductor. viii
give Mendelssohn's dramatic oratorio,
Elijah next Tuesday night, at
S:15, in the Masonic auditorium.
The words of this great choral
work are selected from the Old
Testament and are SO woven to-
gether as to form a most vivid
story of the life of the Prophet
Elijah and the people of Israel
who have forsaken the true God
and turned to the Worship of Baal.
This oratorio has, upon several
occasions, been given with dramatic
action, costumes and stage settings,
similar to that other work, Samson
and Delilah," which is classed as an
opera, but ofte ngiven as an Oratorio.
Charles Trowbridge Tittman, bass,
who will sing the title part Of
Elijah" is admirably suited both
physically and vocally to portray
this great character of Biblical his
tory. Gertrude Lyons, soprano, will
interpret the two characters of the
Widow and the Youth. Richie Nc
Lean, contralto, will represent the
character of the Angel, and Carfax
Sanderson. tenor, will interpret the
characters of the Hebrew Prophet
Obadiah and of Ahab, the King
The chorus will represent the Peo-
pie of Israel. Charles T. Ferry,
the brilliant accompanies for the
society, will be at the piano.

cities, in nineteen States. Thousands
of pupils are receiving individual
instruction from experienced teach
ers; there are forty-eight orchestras,
forty-four choruses and fifty-five
classes in harmony and theory.
Almost every nationality is repre-
sented among the pupils. The New
York schools having an average of
thirteen nationalities in each school.
The object of these schools is not
charity, but to give an opportunity
for music study at a price the poor
est can afford to pay. Since the
teachers in these schools are the
best that can be procured and
must be paid living wage, the dis
crepancy between the fees paid by
the children and the expenses of
the school is large and must be
net by outside help, hence the work
comes under the head of philan-
thropy rather than charity.
Every child who comes to the
school is given some music training
whether he has talent or not. If
at the end of a few months he is
found entirely lacking in any form
ETC., he is given an opportunity
through the settlement house to
study other forms of art expression.
The need of art in some form is a
recognized necessity among our for
eign born citizens and the sacrifices
they will make to secure it, for
Giovanni, Maria or Max are touch
ing beyond measure.
The music school settlement
movement is recognized by mu-
sicians and music-lovers as funda-
mental in making America must
cally conscious, and on the advi-
sorry boards of the various schools
will be found the names of practi-
cally all of the great professional
musicians. Several will attend the
conference and will speak on vari-
Gus phases.

OPERA HOUSE
IDEA WINS
FAVOR
Enthusiasm of Music Lovers
Keen After Site Is
Announced.

The announcement of the OPP
ton on the Edison Bradley site for
the erection of the Washington OPP
era House has electrified Washing
ton. Many persons are reserving
seats and boxes and inquiriEg
terms on which the stock may be
secured.
There is great enthusiasm and
popular approval of the site and
of the entire plan as announced.
This beginning of the Capital $
own opera system carries an appeal
to every thinking American. A
country of a hundred and ten mil
lion people can not continue to have
only two established opera COM
pankes, nor be content that ours
should be the only great capital
city of the world without an opera
house.
ut is essential for us as ma
ton to establish and control DUN
rector Albion, and the erection OF
this house will provide a home for
the Washington Opera Company,
which is the nucleaus to be. ex-
banded into a national systen1t
This house will furnish a setting
in which our aspiring young artists
may achieve fame for themselves in
their chosen career. Our guest art
lists will be chosen from the out
standing singers of the world-noth-
ing less will satisfy the discrimina t.
inging tests of the Washington pub
lie.
Not cheap opera, but the best
opera at reasonable prices Is our
aim"
"Will you give any novelties in
opera?" Mr.. Albion was asked.
LAS often as possible, American
operas will be given a premiere
here" he said. I'VE hope the first
will be Charles Wakefield Cadman's
'Daoma "a work of great beauty.
1T is our purpose to make this
the open door for Americas best in
all forms of art. We plan to secure
something new in settings which
will combine an effect true to the
period of the opera, yet present
greater illusion. Robert Edmond
Jones has some ideas to give us
when we are ready for them.
1.-THE costuming must blend into
the settings. The dramatic expires.
sion must be more original, more

the melodies. Rhythm of motion
and rhythm of sound united in ore
dramatic effect against a back
ground which is also part of the
story-this is grand opera as we
shall strive to achieve it here.
You smile-yes, / can dream, but
I can also keep my eyes open for
the definite steps necessary to make
the dream come true. That is what
the true business man does.
1--WE have evolved a plan which
is absolutely practical. 1t is time

Settlement Music Feature of
Convention to Be Held
May 10 to 10.

Among the interesting conferences
to be held in Washington during
May will be the National Fedora
ton of Settlements meeting from
May IS to IS. One Of the principal
features of the conference will be
the daily sessions of the music di-
vision, which was organized two
years ago, and includes practically
all music school sediments in the
United States.
While the music division itself is
young, the music settlements school
movement is tWenty-one years old,
the first one having been estab
lished in Hull House, Chicago. in
1902. The second one came into
being two years later in New York.
Now there are eighty such centers
of music training located in twenty
