From a. Da;,, Of xcrdav.

evening In the parlOrS OF C8pt.
Marshal, there being present from
abroad Prof. Savenieres, who plays
the cornet in the orchestra of the
Richings- Bernard opera, Mr.. Kauf-
man, first violinist, and Miss Wolff,
of Tacoma, who is probably the best
performer on the piano on the Sound.
Mr.. Savenieres performed a number
of selections from the operas, also
some very beautiful and difficult Sc
lections of his own composition.
For rapid and difficult execution,
the Professor is undoubtedly without
an equal on the American continent;
he is also thorough musician, and
ranks high as a composed. At times
the delighted ear could scarcely fol-
low the sweet sounds, as they poured
forth in continuous strains of melo-
dy. the air being played on q low
key, while An elaborate accompani-
ment was executed in higher key.
The little assemblage could but ad-
mire and exclaim "Delightful!" In
all OF these renditions Miss Wolff
readily executed the piano accom-
paniment. An idea of how difficult
this was to perform may be gathered
from the fact that the captain of the
vessel Prof. Savenieres arrived in
from Valparaiso offered to wager
81, coo that no person in Seattle
could accompany him the on piano.
Mr.. Kaufman also favored the COM
pany with some choice selections on
the violin. which were very much
admired. Capt. and Mrs. Marshal
added to the enjoyment by their
pleasing hospitality.
MISSIONARY CONCERT. The Mis-
sionary and Sunday School concert
given at the NJ. E. Church last even
ing was we'll received by large and
attentive audiance. The speeches of
the little boys and girls in the main
were we'll delivered, and aboundei
in good and whole some instruction
for both old and young. The ex-
ercises came off according to pro-
gramme as announced by the Super
intendent, Mr.. James Franklin, and
which space will not admit of our
publishing. Altogether the concert
was quite successful.
PERSONAL Among the arrivals
per steamer Alaska Saturday even
ing, was James Mcknight, of the
law firm of Mcknight & Leary,
whose return was hastened by the
press Of business engagements.
Capt. C. G. True, who has been Wis
iting friends in the Eastern States,
also returned by the same steamer.
Also, Mrs. Jacobs, wife of Hon. o.
Jacobs, and three children, from an
extended visit in Michigan. Also,
Mr.. II. E. Levy, from a business
trip to San Francisco.
A BILL has passed the Council pro-
viding for the punishment of minors
who misrepresent their ages to OBJ
tain spirituous liquors. Itprovides
a penalty of $25, and not less than
three months nor more than six
mohths imprisonment for its viola
ton. This bill is intended to pro-
tect the seller, and should become q
law. Through misrepresentation
many a young man now gets his
regular gin who otherwise would go
dry for several years to come.
MISS KATE WEBSTER, of Stella.
COON. arrived in this city last We'd
nesday. to have surgical operation

Western style of obituary
"He was an open-hearted, high
minded man, generous in his i'm
pulses, warm in his habits and
noble wherever he found a friend
in need. He was a whole-souled
man, and selfishness was foreign
to his glorious nature. OF late
years he has been in feeble health,
