BIG REUNION FOB FOUNDERS' WEEK Wilmington Man, Whose Ancestor Settled Here in 1702, Has Plan FOUR DAYS AHEAD OF 5CHEDULE "THE FOUR WINDS" IS WELL RENDERED Straw bridge Clothier Chorus Give Fine interpretation of Busch's Cantata Large Audience Attends Brilliant Concert at the Academy of Music Success was -written in large letters all over the production last night for the first time at the Academy of Music of Carl Busch's "The Four Winds," the composition -which -won the prize of $500 offered in 1906 by Straw-bridge Clothier for the American cantata, -which -was sung by the Strawbridge Clothier chorus. A large and brilliant audience applauded both the members of the chorus, the composer, and the Philadelphia Orchestra, which, under the direction of Mr.

Busch, played some of his own compositions for half an hour between the two parts of the cantata. Last night's concert was the first of the season by the chorus, and the universal verdict of those -who heard the splendid -work of the chorus of 200 voices was that "The Four Winds" is the best concert that has been given by the chorus during the four years of its existence. Owing to illness, Xicholas Douty, -who was announced to sing the tenor part of the concert, -was unable to appear. His place was filled by Frank Ormsby, a well-known singer from New York, whose work, considering the short time which he has had to prepare for his difficult role, was remarkable. Mr.

Ormsby was ably assisted by Miss Abbie R. Keely, who took the soprano part. The work of the chorus showed the long period of rehearsals which they have passed through, and was warmly commended on all sides. Contains Indian Songs "The Four Winds" was written in German by Mr. Busch under the title of "Die Tier Winde," and was translated into English for the concert last night by Herman Simon.

The music is written about the words of Longfellow's "Hiawatha," which were sung by the I want every chronic rheumatic to throw away all medicixis. all liniments, all piasters, and give MUSTON'S 3X RHEUMATISM OtJRB a trial.

"The Funeral Procession of the Omahas," actually written from the remarkable lament singing which the Omahas follow their dead to the grave, was marvelous, and its weird and plaintive melody created a deep impression. Directly following this, in sharp contrast, came a beautiful Indian Love Song. The last movement of the cantata is built upon an air for an Indian flageolet, transcribed by the late John C. Fillmore, who visited the Xebraskan Indians shortly before his death. Immediately following the "Indian Suite, the Philadelphia Orchestra played, under the direction of Mr.

Busch. his transcription for string orchestra of "The Old Folks at Home." Shortly after the composer had finished "The Four Winds" and sent it to Straw-bridge Clothier for their decision, his house in St. Louis burned down and all his other musical manuscripts were destroyed. As no duplicate of "The Four Winds1' existed, the manuscript at this time narrowly escaped destruction. OFFERS TO DREDGE CITY DOCKS FREE Contractor Would Use Material From River Bottom for Fertilizing Purposes To dredsre all the docks along the Del aware Hirer front absolutely without cost, with tha understanding that the material taken out should belong to him, was the offer which was made yesterday to Director John C.

Grady, of the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, by Charles H. McLaughlin, of 1323 Allison street. Startled by the offer which means a saving of at least $50,000 to the city Director Grady had Mr. McLaughlin give his reason for advancing such a liberal proposition. According to Mr.

McLaughlin he is ready- to sign a contract with the city to carrv out his clan to" dredge the docks along the river front as often as desired, and the only pay he asks is the material which is taken out. He declared that, after many experiments, he has discovered that dredeinff from the river, particular ity from that portion where sewers empty, makes the best possible fertilizer. lie said that experiments with such refuse had been made in South Jersey on land that was not fertile and upon which noth ing was ever groai with the result that the ground was made rich for farming. Director Grady was so impressed with the offer that he turned over to the man a bulkhead on the Schuylkill River, where demonstrations are to be made. According to Mr.

McLaughlin the free system of dredging docks exists in France. Japan and China, the material being used as fertilizer. He also declared that he is backed by a large corporation and was ready to start his operation at once. TO RESUME DREDGING Effort Will Be Made to Complete 30-Foot Channel, bv Jane 1 In order to provide the Delaware River with a thirty-foot channel from Christian street clear out to sea by June 30 next Major Sanford, of the United States Engineering Corps, in charge of the government work on the river, announced yes terday that dredging would be resumed at once. "With this object in view three dredges will start today on section A below New Castle to increase the width of the channel at that point from 475 feet to 600 feet, the required- width.

At the same time work will be resumed on the section about the Christiana River, when six dredges will be placed in operation by the American Dredging Company in widening tne river to tne required woo feet. The government dredge Uncle Sam will be placed in operation today also and tomorrow, the dredge Cataract will go into service. By next week a full force of men will be at work on the project, and. in order, to hasten the work it has been decided to work shifts night and day.
