Collins, organist and soprano soloist, ’ f-e'sbec'ttv'ely,' Of Trinity, presented a program that was replete with favorite, melodies,' it » manner to satisfy the. most .exacting hearer. After the 135th Psalm had been read responsively by‘ .the-pastor of Trinity church and the assembled congregation, Mrs. O’Keef opened the musical program, with .Speppe’p. Grgnd. Choeur, an inspiring and vigorous fes tival prelude, played in a maner best described as masculine for want of a ivetter word. Followed ' Schumann's "Traumerei,” possibly the best beloved melody in all music, played on a beau tiful flute stop with' harp accompani ment! The hush with which this num ber was heard best attested to the deep appreciation. It received. A strong contrast wafe the DuBois “Toccata,” in which Mrs. O’Keef displayed technical agility and a musical appreciation of the theme DuBois wrote in • and through' the rapidly moving allegro. Mrs. Collins then sang “Eye Hath Xot Seen,*’ from Gaul’s “Holy City,” in enunciation so clear and distinct that not a word was lost to the auditors. The second vocal number was from the Handel Oratorio, “The Messiah,’’ -ih which the ease which characterized Mrs. Collins’ rendition was outstand ing. Two very exacting soprano solos were chosen ~ by' the : singer, and the rendition was truly satisfying. Mrs. Collins is a comparatively recent ac quisition to * Wilmington’s ' mimical circles, and Trinity is to be congratu lated upon having secured her as Its soloist., - ■ ,i ■ ....... The other organ numbers, the Bach Pastorale, Silent Night, and the Pil grims Chorus, were played with fine discernment of the musical values, particularly ' of the registration, and the final number, the maginificent “Triumphal March” from Sir Michael Costa’s “Naaman,” was played with verve and vigor, as befitted the compo sition. Mrs. O’Keef and Mrs. Collins made a splendid combination -*in the recital, contributing a program equal to any of the recital programs given through out the country BAND MAY COME J. M,_ Davis,: superintendent of' the Newberry Cotton mill, located at New berry, S. C., has written. LOuis T.

Household : Suggestions i , Tt Serve* For Soup The liquid .in -which salt heef is i boiled will not be too salty for soup if you wll leave two or three carrots in ft’ utitii cold. They will absorb the salt so that when it is reheated and the necessary vegetables added the season . ing. will be just about right. 'Vinegar Kills Odor The disagreeable odor which accom panies the cooking-' of cabbage may be eliminated by boiling a small amount of vinegar on the back of the stove while the vegetable is being cooked. Soda Saves Time It will not be necessary to soak navy ] or\ shelled beans overnight if you will just add a little baking soda when they p,re cooking. They ’will be soft in about half the/ usual time. Making Liquid Soap “ Instead of throwing scraps of soap away when they become too small to use,‘collect them in a jar, cover with water and stand in the oven until the soap is melted. Ecellentx liquid soap is the result.

MS* I Opening /Today at the Beyhl MISSIONARY TELLS OF EXPERIENCES ABROAD East Carolina Man Describes Experiences in Brazilian Wilderness KINGSTON, March 4.—111 in the heart of the Brazilian wilderness, the Rev. A. S. Maxwell, a missionary in that country from Duplin county, N. C., spent six weeks reaching a hospital point last fall, according to an account printed in a church publication, which has reached relatives in the section south of here. Mr. Maxwell is extensively related in this part of North Carolina. Station ed at Lavras, Brazil, near the coast, he was sent thousands of miles on a trip which lasted more than seven months, and on which he crossed Brazil into Bolivia. He studied Indian tribes and gathered information for missionary purposes. i ' "Many Indians, and many as nude as they were born,” were seen by the min ister on his expedition into sections which had seen few white men before him. “I took many pictures,’’ hewrote; “but fear they will not be presentable. However, I could not undertake to clothe the natives.” He had crossed the country and Was returning when taken ill. His sickness was the "severe malaria that prevails in North Brazil.” He had to let his companions leave him, BOO miles from the point at which they started. ”1, could not ride in the saddle any farth er. I lost much weight, became skin and bones. My hands looked like a dead man’s; I could walk only a few steps and could scarcely keep from falling.” He employed a man to take him in a boat to a hospital. The boat man’s friends warned that the white man would die on the way. v “We started for the hospital on the 10th of October. We arrived there on the 23rd of November. We had to make about 600 miles. The first river we de scended was .almost without, inhabi tants. We had to make a dug-out. It was about like the hog troughs back in Duplin county, TSorth Carolina. The river current was strong and there were many tree trunks in the way. At one point we passed there was rum for sale, and my ‘man Friday’ must have some. The result was that he became talkative and owr boat was drifting here and there.” Warned by the minister that he must stop drinking, the native “became an gry” and .threatened to leave Mr. Max well in the wilds. „ ^ At one point the couple did not leave the canoe for three days and njghtsv because of savage Indians on the shores. Sleep and food were out of the question. “We were not attacked, however. Five days before we passed, they made two attacks. They did not kill anyone, but Brazilians killed some of them.” The Tar Heel missionary’s stamfma prevailed, and he was improv ing in health (^even before he reached the hospital. ' Mr. Maxwelrs letter printea m tne church ipaper, reached this country re cently after he had returned to civili zation in the coastal region of Brazil. He had traveled many thousand miles through the jungle, swamps and moun tains of South America. The police here today declared the bond of Noah Crain, alleged to have left the state following his arrest and bailing ,on auto larceny charges, to be "worth 100 cents on the dollar.” Re ports that Crain’s bond was worthless were circulated following his depart ure from this city, but authorities stat ed that Robert Nelson, the bondsman, was “good for the $1,000.” Crain Is wanted on two counts in connection with alleged wholesale operations of an auto theft ring in this section. He is known to have been at Norfolk recently. Crain was formerly a fireman at the headquarters station here. A story circulated here today was that a prominent business man had1 received a letter warning him to desist from public expression of opinions ad verse to a certain secret organization. No name was given iirthe official quar ter where the affaiy was revealed. The recipient of the letter, It was said, had declared he Would bring the “best man Burns could provide” to Kinston to ferret out the sender of the letter. In the official source it was said the»affair had the earmarks of a joke and prob ably would not be followed up. It was believed that the letter did not ema nate from the order in question.,' James Collins, negro lunatic who I was shot and wounded by Patrolman | John B. Canady in Northeast Kinston Friday, was still alive today. His con dition was regarded as very serious. Collins following the shooting was de dared to be fatally wounded. Canady fired a bullet into, the negro’s body after the latter had attacked him with aj ibutcher knife in one hand and an axe , fn the other. Canady suffered a slight injury in the melee in which he and another officer participated with .the negro. The bullet paused Collins "tsj drop'to his knees just as he was closing1 in upon Canady to use. the knife. Pre vious to the officers' arrival he had terrorized a negro residential district, causing one fleeing wojnan to leap out of a window and break a, leg. , - EDWARD LAITERBACH DEAD NEW TO: K, March 4.—Edward Lau terbach, pioneer lawyer and former president ,of the Baltimore and South ern railway company and vice presi dent' of the’ American Railroad cofn pahy, of -Porto Rico. ’ died today of heart disease at the. age of 87.
