USIC LOVE TO APR Pe ple From All Parts of St Month for Appe Msic lovers, not on:y n Columbia but .n all parts of the S,,ie, are look ing 'orward with ever increasing in teres;t to the music festival to be hel: April 20-22 in the Columbia theatr' unde the auspices. of the Columbi.. Music Festival association when Co lubla will open wide her doors to weleo me the festival guests. Jdt ing fron present indications .nouse will be sold out for all five concerts soon after the sale of season tickets opens Monday morning. Of course, no speculating will be allow ed. Care will be tiken 'y V. L. Brown, manager of the theatre, to preserve order, and the interests of home and out-of-town patrons will be carefully regarded. While the sale will not open until Monday morning at 9 o'clock, it is rumored that many will it up all night or engage others to do so, in order to secure the best available seats in the theatre. Of courses. it will be "first come-first served," but there will be no con fusion, as the management is 'pre pared to meet :he public's demands without delay. Victor Herbert's Orchestra. No orchestra leader in America, :s better known than Victor Herbert. and none has done more to spread the gospel of music in this country. The coming of Victor rer-ert and his world-famous orchestra to Columbia will atract the attention of "thc whole music world to Columbia's music fes tival. The opportunity of coming beneath the magic spell of his baton is a rare privilege given to Southerners for the first time this season. Mr. Herbert will conduct at all concerts, and the interesting programmes w111 have the benefit of his discriminating judg ment. Signor De Lica. *F. Neri De Luca who will' sing at Columbia's music festival easily takes rank with the greatest baritones ol the world, and the .management is fortunate in having finally secured the'engagement for 'him to visit Co lumbia. Signor De Luca, who, by the way is a nephew of one of Italy's moel celebrated baritones, Francesco Pan Idolfini, noted as the creator of the part of "Ormonastro" in the first pre senation of Verdi's "Aida," is one oj the most talented young artists of thf present day. Signor De Luca 's voice is of mar velous range and volume, manly -quality, exqui'site timbre and uncom mnonly well schooled. He sings witi delightful ease, smoothness and intel ligence. His full voice~ is clear and r esonant and his mezza voce particu larly pure, sweet and reliable. The praises of Signor De Luca are today sung on both continents, ani bis name alone would attract mann to the Columbia festival. Eleanore de Cisneros. By unanimous consent of musi< critics, managers and public, Mine Eleanore de Cisneros, who has beei engaged through W. L. Radcliffe o Washington to sing at the artis concert nt the time of Columbial great music festival, is hera-lded a the greatest living mezzo soprano. While Mine. de Cisneros made he debut with the Metropolitan Oper company in New York, it was in Ital that she first scored her most bril liant triumphs. She has sung in mor than any other American singer an since her return to the America: stage has received repeated ovatiom "To a gorgeous mezzo oprato, writes one of America's foremos music critics, "Mmne. Cisneros add all sort of fire, pathos, passion an . - nical skill, and also a splendi sam , of conception that is highl intellectual. There is an alluremner in her singing, also that tendernes and ardor which is the mo:ner o? a things beautifuil in art. There is n lit iness, nothing petty about her sh has force. Youth. temperamen an exqiuisite voice, dramatic fervo skil born of long stuay I .d exlea :ence, and high ideals-these thins unite in bringing fame to their fo: tunate possessor. Cisneros has sun before the world's greatest tribuna and won-won gloriously." H. Evan Williams. it sounds like a story book, the hi: tory of the career of H. Evan WI hiams, the world reno'wned Weik tenor, who will ppear as orm of ti principal stars at the Columbia mus festival, April 20-22. About seven years ago Mr. Willian became suddenly famous at a m'u orable performance at one of tl Worcester festivals and for sever years was the m!ost-talke:!-o sin ~n ~terica. 1hen sudd'n? v sotn IL FESTIVAL 2te Will Be in Columbia This 2rance of Artists. rhing went wrong and he vanished as suU(ddenly as he had come. Like Ca ruso, who also retired for some tie from public life, _Ir. Williams found that he needed rest and quiet. Man^ wondered at his long absence anc doubters declared that he had lost his voice for ever. On his return to concert work, how ever, it is proved that his voice has only mellowed and matured, and is today more wonderful in its match less quality than ever before. H! fame as one of the greatest tenors o: the preesnt day is now firmly estab lished. There is in Evan Williams an ele mental power which once in a grea1 while nature sees fit to bestow or some mortal, an intution for music an instinct for expression whir.n th( Welch claim as their distinctive birth right, He has tones in his voice that se: the chords of human feeling in vibra tion. Whence derives he his power Who governs the north wind and telh it when to blow? The same Master gives hi mhis matchless voice, a voice that sets the blood of every listener astir. His manner is so direct, he throws himself with such passion intc what he sings, there is so much au thority in what he does, that he sweeps his audience with him. The engagement of Evan William. to sing in Columbia has created muel interest, and there is every indication that the great singer will be received as his remarkable ability and reputa tion warrant. Lillia Snelling. Nature has endowed few singerr more generously than Lillia Snelling one of the favorite contraltos of thi Metropolitan company, who will bE welcomed by i a host of admirers or her return visit'to Columbia at th, time of the music festival. Her ricd 'contralto voice posseses qualities tha have won the highest admiration o competent critics, several of whon have .predicted for her a place amonj the greatest American contraltos. Miss Snelling's voice is one of up Iusual quality and remaraab.r': 7ange Her wide repertoire* for ope-a, con cert and oratorio is mc,s. compl ste compris'ing many of the standar< works and not a few that are seldor included in the average artist's rr pertoire. She has, moreover, a per sonality of unusual charm which aug ments in no small degree the pMr: ure that her singing neve: fails ti afford, while her thorou.4ly artLit methods serve to display her voca gifts to the best advantage. That her voice and abilities entitl the beautiful young singer to a posi tion of prominence in the world a music is a point established beyoni dispute. Agnes Kimball. Agnes Kimball, the well know: young soprano who will sing at Cc lumbia Music festival, is possessed c all the attributes necessary for public singer. She has a fine stag presence and charming manner ar. sings with the graciousness and eas of a finished artist. Her beautiful voice of crystallin Spurity and freshness is a constant jo to her hearers. Her enunciation r wonderfully clear and distinct and i i no matter what language she sing E Italian, German, French or Englis] - every syllable is given its just value. Frank Croxton. No artist will receive a more co: dial welcome in Columbia during tl1 festival than Frank Croxton who ht here, a host of sincere admirers. In these days when foreign artis enter the American concert field wit Sall the prestige of European reput tion, it is a pleasure to find an Ame ican artist who can vie with any t hem in t e school of vocal ar Frank Croxton is a singer whose a is gaining in ripeness and in technic; ocommand1( of his resources throup hi aplicat %n of intel ligence,' hal h is orm:s bass voice is used wi icnsumam skif.

Fellows, one of the artis - osn at the festival concerts in C - Ilumbia, April 20-22. "not only hi h brains in plenty, but the very ra e qualification of a voice which c knows how to use to the best a vantage,'' says one of Americe ssternest music crities in speaking 1- the gifted young tenor. "Seldom Swe find such a combination of int( alectual and dramatic gifts andl she rbcauty of. ione.'' c-. nao mrnoire of Mr. Fr'llows most complete, while as a maker of recital programmes he is recognized 3S a genius. In private drawing rooms abroad, Paris and London par licularly, his services have been much sought of late, while his -public re citals are looked upon as among the most important musical events of each season. Wh arever Mr. Fellows has been heard his praises have been most en thusiastically sung, and he is without doubt one of the best cquippel artists on the stage today. "He is gifted with the rare ability of irparting tr'ue dra matic force to his. singing an'i is in the true sense of tae word a finished artist." The Choruses. Quite the most distinctive feature of the Columbia music festival will be the chorus of about 400 children's voices. The children, who have been carefully trained by Miss K. C. Bol linger, director of music in the city schools, will be directed by Harold A. Loring, director of music, Columbia college, at the time of the festival. The choruses chosen are well adapt ed to children's voices -'and will be sung by the happy little people with characteristic fervor and spirit. No less attractive to many will be the well modulated chorus of 200 voices, most ably directed by Philip Standish Gilman, director of music at the College for Women. Chillsome. Washington Herald.

To have the pains and aches of a back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disor ders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hun dre'ds of Newberry readers. ' Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Prosperity, S. C., says: "My kidneys were disor 1dered for a long time, causing terrible pains through my loins and limbs. There was also a constant ache in my, -back and on some occasions, I could scarcely get about. The kidney secre tions were too frequent in passage and annoyed me greatly. I consulted !several physicians and tried any nium ber of remedies, but did not improve in the least. I had about given up -hope of ever being cured when my son-in-law procured a box of Doan's -Kidney Pills for me at W. E. PeIham' & Son's Drug Store. He had read about they were good for kidney trou ble and told me to try them. I dii so and after I had taken the contents jof two boxes, my backache had dis appeared and my kidneys had been restored to their naormal conditon. I have recommrended Doan's Kidney iPills to many of my friends and shall continue to do so." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

"'re Cure" "I would like to guide suffering women to a sure cure for female troubles," writes Mrs. R. E. Mercer, of Frozen Camp, W. Va. "I have found no med icine equal to Cardui. I had suffered for about four years. Would have headache for a week at a time, until I would be nearly crazy. I took Car dui and now I never have the headache any more." E 53 The Woman's Ton The pains from which many women suffer every month are unnecessary. It's not safe to trust to strong drugs, right at the tinme of the pains. Better to take Cardui for a while, before and after, to strengthen the system and cure the cause. This is the sensible, the scientific, the righit way. Try it NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMIENT.
