SOLDIERS FUIGHTBR NEGRESS
i%- 9 ...
Some of the people in the interior do
not seem glad to behold a platoon of
' cavalry advancing down their bis
' roads, kicking up the dust.
Men returning from the First cav
' airy hike to Talahassee aivd return by
' a round-about way, tell many tales
& pT the evident alarm occasioned by the
advent of soldiers among the peace
r loving people along the way. One
trooper said:
•‘I was r.ding near the head of the
'<’• line, ao I saw It all. The first indi
cation we had that our passage through
* _ the country was causing alarm came
. when we were scarcely ten miles from
Montgomery. A negro woman, with
t two yearllt g children, was standing
. beside the road, about 100 yards from
a small house that evidently was her
: home. Beside the trio, making it a
I quartette, in fact, was the ubiquitous
[ yellow rabbit dog. At first the woman
seemed too startled to move. Then
i the natural law of flight took pos
session of her limbs and she fled, with
one child under each arm. She outran
the rabbit dog, entered her humble
home on the Jump, and slammed the
door. The momentum of the dog land
;■ ed him apalnst the door and It flew
open. She evidently thought we had
taken up the rhase, for the woman
ran oat of the back door and the last
we saw of her, she was going over a
piece of plowed ground, still holding
to her offsprings, and leading the rab
bit dog In the race by at least three
* lengths.”
Stranger still, some of the more en
. lightened residents seemed almost as
.»: greatly purturbed at (he appearance
: the soldiers of their country,

Chautauqua Thursday night, and there
were many of them, the big tent be
ing filled to its capacity, were treated
to an evening, of raro entertainment.
.The Sala Trio assisted by Helen Wat
Ison Powers, a sopranist, delighted the
music loving contingent chiefly, but
tfmany others as well, while Lucy Nicola
as "Princess Watahwaso," In her
songs of Indian origin sunk In Eng
lish, charmed all.
Antonio Sala, the oldor of the twd
'brothers was court 'cellist to King
Alfonso at the early age of twelve
years, and fbr five years played before
the Ktng. This yountfer brother, Sal-,
vador won the first prise at tlte Bar
celona conservatory as a violinist.
Both are sons of Salvador Sala, Sr.,
professor of piano at the conservatory.
Splendid Artiste.
The cello used by Antonio is said
to be worth $5,000, and was bought
by him from the proceeds of his South
American trip, made when he was 13
years of age. It is recorded that he
made a tremendous success In Paris,
And the critic of the ‘‘Figaro’* com
pared him with Casals.
Breyon, the pianist with the Sala
brothers has appeared in many Import- i
ant concerts in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago. He toured last season
with the Innes Band. In addition to
his work in the trio, he played the
accompaniments for all the artists.
The assisting artist, Helen Watson
Powers, of Chicago, is considered to
have a Wonderfully rich soprano voice
of finished technique. She made her
self very popular with the music
lovers of the great western city, and
has a reputation all over the coun
try.
Iadlaa Girl Pleasing.
Lucy Nicola, the Penobscot Indian
girl, "Princess Watahwaso," In her In
dian costume, was received with tre
mendous enthusiasm by the audience
in her first song. "Waters of the Minn
etonka," with a violin obligato by
Salavador Sala. Her other songs ‘The
Montlor Curse Thee” and “Papocah,”
met with almllay favor. »
"The Monitor Curao Thee” tells a
story of the hatred expressed by an
Indian chief as he drove a white man
away who wanted to marry his daugh
ter. She also delighted those present
with Indian chants in her native
tongue one of them being a song of
[greeting between two tribes at peace.
The other was an Indian mothers luua
by to her child In its cradle.
Supports Aged Mather
This girl, a real Penobscot Indian,
lives on an island In the Penobscot
river In Maine near Old Town, Just
above the falls of the same name. The
70-year old mother lives there, and In
her old age is being comfortably pro
vided for by her talented daughter.
The latter says there are about 480
of the Penobscots at present living on
the several Islands In the river; that
the men earn their living In the var
ious branches of the lumber industry
and by working In the big canoe fac
tory at Old Town, while the women
weave baskets and sell them.
She was educated in the public
schools of Old Town and later under
private tutors In Cambridge, Mass. 8he
was a stenographer for a while, but
for the last two years has been study
ing voice in Chicago, her teacher be
ing Sandor KAdanovlts, a Hungarian.

the female parts.
In her address yesterday afternoon.

CANNING PLANT GETS
INCREASE OF OUTPUT
ON ITS SECOND DAY
As the result of the second day’s
work at the plant of the Montgomery
Cooperative Canning Club at No. 10
South Perry Street. Thursday, splen
did progress was made in Increasing
the output of the factory as well as
In obtaining new subscriptions and
payments of amounts previously pledg
ed. The promoters are enthusiastic
over the showing made during the two
days of operation, and find themselves
assurred of all the raw material need
ed from day to day.
Beans principally have been canned
thus far, although thirty-five cans of
berries and twenty cans of English
peas were Included In the output on
Thursday. Because beans are so plenti
ful and In such excellent condition Mrs
I. T. Quinn who Is the active man
ager in charge, has decided to confine
the work on Friday and Monday ex
clusively to this product. Saturday,
however berries again will bo Includ
ed in the growths canned.
The annoucement that surplus vege
tables will be canned on shares, the
plant taking one-third of the raw
material in exchange for the work
and labor involved in canning, and
charge only the actual cost of the
cans, has met with excellent endorse
ment and enthusiasm on the part of
many of the gardeners. This decision
It Is claimed affords many of the
gardeners having their surilus, in it
self not sufficient, they think, to at
tempt to sell, canned for their own
use much cheaper than possible to
buy the canned product. This point Is
stressed by the women in charge as
materially aiding the government In
Its urgent request to conserve the
food supply.
