Clarence Cameron TVhlte, a young colored violinist cf exceptional promise, made his first public appearance in Louisville before an audience composed of people of his own race last night. During a recital given at Plymouth Congregational church, Seventeenth and Chestnut he demonstrated that, with proper training, he should develop into a musician of high attainments. The programme offered was in the main one which made no great call on the player's technical resources. In this, however, he showed his wisdom. The- numbers were of sufficient weight to give an idea of his possibilities.

The qualities which most compelled attention were a warm, colorful tone and a certain maturity of conception which well for his future work if he falls into the right hands. Several of the numbers are much favored as encores by violinists, among, them being the oft-played "Legende." Schumann's "Traumeri," Grieg's delicate little musical apostrophe "To Spring" and the Wilhelm arrangement of the "Prize Song," from "Der Mels-tersinger." White's playing of these things was well calculated to with-tne tit nf eomnarison with that of other more noted violinists, what ever such comparisons may be worth. The gem of the programme was a "Gypsy Song." by Coleridge-Taylor. It has never before been used in Louisville. It is a composition of rare beauty.

An effort will be made to have the violinist appear before the white people of the city at the T. M. C. A. building.

If the effort should prove successful, every music lover in the cjty would do well to hear him, for despite the brief training he has received, he is already a musician of more -wortii than the average concert player.

The Democratic victory- in i Louisville was especially gratifying to me, and I do not believe that Democrats from out in the State will hereafter have any cause to worry about how the Fifth district will go.

PEELERITES ARE CONFIDENT.

CONTEST TTAS BEGUN EOS THE SPEAKERSHIP. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE SPEAKS. Nashville, Nov. 7 Special. The signs of a tremendous fight in the next State Senate between the liquor and the anti-liquor men are becoming more numerous.

The liquor men seem to be growing more confident each day. They claim the election of White, Turen and Davis, although all indications have pointed to the defeat of these senatorial candidates. The Peelerites, on the other hand, say there is no chance for defeat; that they have more than enough voles to pass the Peeler bill. The tight is already on over the Speakership of the Senate, with Seay, Sumner, the champion of the Peelerites, and Norlleet, oi Shelby, the candidate of the opposition. A prominent aiitl-Peelerite said to-night that Nur-fieet wouid wm easily.

The Executive Committee of the Anti-Saloon League met here this morning to discuss the outlook. Later they issued a statement claiming the Ho-r-e iy a large majority and insisting they and nineteen votes and possibly twenty in the Senate. The statement also eays: The only way that our majority in the Senate can be changed is by bnoery. as in the last Legislature, but we do nut believe that me men elected to this Senate can be briued. They ale bound boLh by principle and by platform, in nearly every instance they come instructed to vote for a measure similar to the Peeler Bill.

They were elected by a temperance constituency. They made pledges to tao public that they would vote for a measure of u2 kinu. Besides as already indicated, it will be to uielr future interest as politicians to vote on the temperance side. The temperance sentiment in Tennessee has grown tremendously in the past lew years, as also has the Anti-saloon League. It will be much more dangerous in the future than it has been in the past to antagonize this temperance sentiment.

Tne papers of the State are generally more favorable to our cause. Two new papers have been started, advocating the anti-saloon cause. It la evident uiat the age of yaller dog" partvism has passed. Men are coming to vote their principles. Whisky men have alwavs done it.

DR. D. S. REYNOLDS' VIEWS. OHIO VAXLEY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ADJOURNS.

MEETS NEXT IN HENDERSON. Evansvllle, Nov. 7 Special. The members of the Ohio Valley Medical Association to-day continued the reading of papers upon technical subjects and then discussing them. At the morning session Dr.

J. A. Stucky, of Lexington, covered the subject of management and treatment of the rhino pharyngeal tonsil, and Dr. C. T.

Hendershot, of Cannelton, presented an argument on proper diet In typhoid fever. Dr. L. S. McMurtry, of Louisville, presented an able discussion on the question of early operation in appendicitis.

An argument in the use of the cautery for prostrate hypertrophy was presented by Dr. W. M. Wishard, of Indiana-polis. Dr.

Dudley S. Reynolds, of Louisville, read a paper that attracted unusual interest because It presented in new lights several important professional principles. He believes that physicians of regular schools should not associate more than meeting requires with physicians of irregular schools. The paper was of peculiar interest to the radical profession in Evansville ba-caiuse the Vanderburgh County Medical Society has within recent months decreed to admit practitioners formerly barred, provided they conform to the rules of the society, present credentials of sufficient eduoatlon and omit from their signs and letterheads any reference to peculiar methods of practice. Evansville is the first city of consequence in the United States where the medical profession as a body has admitted opposition practitioners.

While Dr. Reynolds does not particularly condemn the action of the profession here, he agrees that its action is of general benefit and may be emulated safely elsewhere, if professional rancor and jealousy are elim'ina-ted. Other papers were read as follows: "Neurasthenia and Its Treatment by the Actinic Method," Dr. Albert E. Sterne, Indianapolis; "Section Following Vaginal Puncture," by Dr.

John Young Brown, of St. Louis; "Cases in Plastic Surgery of the Vagina and Bladder," by Dr. W. C. McGammond, NashVille, Tenn.

PKOBABLT FIVE CONCERTS WITH OECHESTHA AND SOLOISTS. SOME OF THE SINGERS IN MIND It is quite possible that Louisville will have another spring music festival, notwithstanding the fact that the Festival Association has decided not to have another under its own ausplcts for some time. The Musical Club Is now figuring on giving Ave performances during the season.

In the first "Elijah" will be sung, using local orchestra and soloists. The second will consist of part songs, choruses and one big soloist posslbly Van Hoose, De Lussan or Mabelle Crawford. The last three are considered for the second week In April, in which the club will be assisted by a corps of eminent soloists and one of the following orchestras: Cincinnati Symphony, with Vander Stucke.i. conductor; the Chicago Symphony, with Adolph Roser.becker. conductor, or the Boston Festival Orchestra, with Emil Mollenhauer conductor, as heretofore.

Should the Chicago Symphony be secured, as is most likely now, the soloists will be George Hamlin, tenor; Mrs. Genevieve Clark Wilson, soprano; Mrs. Furbeck, contralto, and Arthur Beres-ford, bass; Van Dordt, the Dutch violinist; Franz Wagner, a former pupil of Karl Schmidt while he was in Toronto, as 'cellist; Clora Murray, harpist, and Seeboecke, pianist. The first two concerts will be given whether the other plans are perfected or not. Much depends upon the attitude of the public toward the last three, which would consist of two evening concerts and one matinee the same week.

In order to have this festival as proposed It would necessitate a large advance subscription for season tickets. At a meeting of the Musical Club directory this week It was deemed expedient that some effort be put. forth at once to gain an expression from the public as to its feeling toward the enterprise. No guarantee fund will be called for, as has usually been the case, but the directory proposes to sell season tickets at a nominal figure much less than heretofore which will not only admit to all the festival performances, but to the first two concerts as well. This will be an ambitious undertaking on the part of the Musical Club, which has just gone through the throes of reorganization, necessitating a reduction of the chorus from 250 to 150 in membership.

The directory, as well as the conductor, announces that the organization is In better shape financially and In point of musicianship than ever before. Much of the undesirable timber that was more of a hindrance than a benefit to the chorus has been eliminated and better results are therefore promised, and, naturally, to be expected. The public will be called upon shortly to indicate its attitude toward the proposed series, after which such plans as will be possible will be perfected without delay. THIRTEEN REPUBLICANS AMID GLOOM AND REMORSE. Are Told By Mr.

H. EL McCulloch That No One Worked For the Election Dike They. The West End Republican Club had a consolation meeting scheduled for last night. According to the programme, the Hon. H.

The expected speakers did not arrive. At last there were thirteen members present. Mr. H. H.

McCulloch, the president, took the stand. He was not greeted with the enthusiasm of ante-election meetings. In fact, the stillness was oppressive.

"But, my friends and fellow Republicans, you know, and I know, that If every Republican in Louisville had taken the same Interest in the election that the members of this club did.

the result would have been different" "That's right." responded a member from a dark corner of the hail. Mr. McCulloch then suggested that the club organization be kept up, holding monthly meetings.

The date they bore August 19 and it Is supposed by the Wabash agent of the company to whom they were turned over, that they had been rilled of their contents by robbers who robbed a Burlington train and who gathered at Treaty to divide the spoils. It Is thought the criminals entered the mill last night, as the envelopes were not on the carrier yesterday. The envelopes may furnish a clew to the robbers and the company 'will place the matter in the hands of the secret service agents.

COAL SHORTAGE IN KNOXVTLLE CAUSES GREAT EMBARRASSMENT. City In Total Darkness For Over An Hour and Half the Cars Are Withdrawn. Knoxvllle, Nov. 7. Special.

This city was In total darkness for some time and half of the cars of the traction system were withdrawn on account of the shortage of coal In this section, which has been growing more and more stringent. The lights in all private residences and on all the public streets were out from 9 o'clock to 10:30, though then the cars were withdrawn and the lights were relit. It seems the supply of coal at the power-house has been growing smaller and smaller, acid the cessation of en; ergy was required in order to husband the small supply on hand. The coal people claim that the spreading of rails running into the power plant was what prevented the delivery of the coal, but at that there were only four cars stationed there. On account of the lack of coal cars and motive power on part of the Southern railway the coal shortage in this district is growing worse and a number of local mills are threatened with inaction unless 'the situation Is remedied.
