HOFHEIMER'S 328-330 MAIN STREET. MR. PAUL ALLARD Shot By an Unknown Negro in Brambleton, At Corner of Highland and Kelly Avenues -Ills Injuries Probably Not Serious Tho Negro Escapes Detectives After Ulm. About. 7 o'clock last night the report of two pistol shots was heard In rapid succession In the direction of North Kelly and Highland avenues, which soon attracted a crowd to the scene of the occurrence.

On Investigation It was found that Mr. Paul Allard had been shot by a negro boy between the ages of IS and 20 years. It appears that at an earlier hour In the evening this same negro had been shooting Into a crowd of small boys In the neighborhood of the Norfolk Ter? minal Railroad, a few blocks below where Mr. Allard was lired upon. The negro was met at 7 o'clock by a young man named Kenny Littleson on the corner of Kelly and Highland avenues and asked Why he was shooting at these boys, when, without a word of expla? nation, he drew from his pocket a pis? tol and attempted to shoot young Lit tleson.

Mr. Allard, who was standing by. knocked the negro down, causing the weapon ito fall front his hand. The ne? gro immediately regained feet and drew from his pocket another pistol, and, retreating a few feet, lired two shots, the first one passing over L.itle son'S head and ithe second one taking effect in Mr. Allard's left side.

The negro then beat a hasty retreat, tiring three more shots into the crowd in his night. Young Allard, with the assistance of a friend, went to his home on Glbbs avenue, and informed lils father that he had been shot. A messenger was dispatched for a physician, and in a very short time Dr. Balrd responded and began an investigation of Mr. Al lard's njuries.

'While thus engaged Dr. Meredith arrived, and the two phy? sicians probed for the ball, but were unable to locate it. The bullet entered the left side of the young man just be? low the short rib and lodged in the body. The patient was put tinder the Influence of opiates and his wound carefully dressed by Drs. Ird and Meredith, both of whom did not think young man was dangerously hurt, but said they would not be able to give a positive decision until morning.

The negro who committed the das? tardly deed has been seen frequently in the locality where the shooting oc? curred, and if arrested can he easily Identified by anyone living in that sec? tion of Brambleton. He has a friend who lives near by whom ho was seen With a short time before the shooting. Soon after the occurrence 'the police authorities wore notified and Ohler Kl at once put detectives on the track of the would-be murderer. They went to the house of the negro's friend and asked him for name of the perpe? trator of the deed and he refused to give it, when they placed him under arrest nnd sent him to the station house. It Is said that the boy who shot Mr.

Allard lives in the vicinity of Lambert's Point. The wounded young man Is the son of Mr. W. D. Allard, of No.

Tim Seemingly Impossible Task of Blend? ing Amateurs and Iu a Clnsidcul Ensemble Successfully Accom? plished Ileforo it Critical, lint Thor? oughly Appreciutlvo, Audience.

A cultivated and critical audience gathered at the Y. M. C. A. Hall last night on the occasion of tho first con- I cern of the Symphony Orchestra of the Norfolk Conservatory of Music.

The audience, which, In point of members, was surprisingly large, as appreciative as It were critical, and stamped with marked approval this first effort of Messrs. Charles Borjes and Anton F. Koerner to give Norfolk an interpre? tation of the highest classical music. The orchestra was made up of ama? teurs und professionals and the small? est compliment that Is due of the former is the fact that had not the program indicated by asterlks the difference, there were few In the audi? ence who could have distinguished the line where the professional begun and the amateur ceased to be. Joseph Haydn's Symphony No.

1 In 15 Hat major furnished the vechlle for tho orchestral efforts of the unusual combination, divided in four parts, the Adagio, Allegro Con Splrlto (E Hat major), the string instruments ing the major part of the number, fol? lowed by the Andante (C minor) and the Menuetto (E flat major), conclud? ing with the Allegro Con Splrlto (E flat major). In which was Miibraced the resonance of the brass instru? ments. The execution was beyond criticism. In music one of the most difficult compositions which, as a rule, is Eschewcck, by oven the professional, was treated lit a manner that merits it being classed as an artistic triumph. Mr.

Borjes was the conductor and to Iris skillful manipulation much of the credit of the performance is due. Humbert's recitative and aria from the German of Lortzlng's "Undine" was given by Mr. Albert Howard Clnr rett, and while a decidedly meritorious performance was not up to Mr. Gar rett's best efforts as was evidenced by his rendering later on the progrnni'. of Georges Bizet's song of the Toreador, from "Carmen." This was a masterly piece of work.

He threw feeling Into Iiis voice and by many this was con? sidered the gem of the evening's en? tertainment and surprised many of Mr. Garrett's admirers, who. while they had credited him with the pos? session of an excellent baritone had not given him credit for the artistic capabilities which he demonstrated lnst evening. Another number on the program which stands out as an artistic effort of unusual proportions was the violin solo of Mr. Borjes; his treatment of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's con? certo for violin in minor being abuse criticism and well meriting the ap? plause so liberally bestowed.

Below Is the program: The program Is as follows: Joseph No. in flat Major. I. Adagio: Allegro Con Splrlto (E flat Major). II.

Andante (C Minor). III. Menuetto (E flat Major). IV. Allegro Con Splrlto (15 flat Major).

The law governing the examination of candidates for license to practice medicine in Virginia was amended at the last session of the General Assem? bly, so as to provide that students who have graduated in one branch of the profession are allowed to take such ex? amination, and when they are given diplomas and appear for license the subjects In which they have been ex? amined are omitted. Graduntes who apply for license are required tu show the diplomas from the school from which they have graduated. Gradua? tion from a medical college is not a prerequisite, if a young man can make the examination he will got his license. The General Assembly amend cd the law last year, so as to allow the hoard to accept the license granted by the examining board of any other Stale.
