Programme of ExereIscs Adopted.
Pursuant to previous notice, meet
ing of the.Committees of Arrangements
was held at the Criminal Court Room
last night.
The meeting organized by appoint
ing William Heilman Chairman. who
in a few words explained the object
of the meeting.
The Committee on Music reported
shat the Evansville Orchestra would
play in the Opera House on the night
of the 18th for $40, and that the
Crescent City Silver Band would play
on the 18th for the same amount.
Mr.. Philip Decker was in favor OF
procuring the services of all the
Bands, as it would very likely eagen-
der i'll feeling if either Band was left
out.
The proposition of the Evansville
Orchestra was then accepted, but this
action was afterwards rescinded.
Some time since a resolution was
adopted fixing a fee of twenty-five
cents for admission to the Opera
House on the night of the 18th, but
some Of the committeeman present
were opposed to charging any admis-
sion, taking the position that it would
rebound more to the honor Of the city
if all persons were admitted free.
After considerable discussion in re-
gard to the question, it was decided
to make no charge for admission to
the Opera House, and the previous
resolution was rescinded. This was
the cause of the committee declining
to make contract with the orchestra.
On motion of Mr.. Decker. it was
finally ordered that the music COM
mittee be instructed to consult with
the various musical organizations in
the city, with a view 10 securing their
voluntary services on the occasion of
the celebration.

the surprise of the physicians, she did
not die, and yesterday afternoon was
so far recovered as to be able to con-
