Celeste's Concert.

Those who were there, whether at
tracted through curiosity or with the
hope Of witnessing AN exhibition Of
artistic excellence, were amply repaid
for their time and attention, and en-
joyed a grand treat. "A large number
were out TO hear and witness the
performance of Celeste. The many
fattering notices of the press were
creditably sustained, and much more
might be truthfully said in praise.
We doubt If Celeste has an equal IN
this country in her particular and pecu-
liar roles. Her music, besides being
artistic. has fascination which stirs
the soul, and we could not believe,
had we not witnessed the fact. that so
much variety could be thumped from
4 single instrument, or so fine har-
mony from the pair-the organ and
piano. She is a musical genius, and
her soul seems to dwell in the realm

Death Of Hugh Phillips.

Mr.. Hugh Phillips, proprietor of the
7. ). Hotel, of this city. died on sat
urday last, at . y, m. The cause Of
his death was chronic disease Of the
spinal chord, together with other
complications,
Mr.. Phillips was man of very ro-
bust constitution, until about three
years ago, when he received IN injury
by Il fall from u scaffold on the new
portion of the building of the L, s.
Hotel. From that time his health
gradually failed him. Last fall. in
company with his wife, he took
q trip to Texas, for the benefit of his
health. He remained in that State
for about six months, and then re-
turned home, still very feeble. On
Wednesday of last week the disease
assumed an alarming aspect. lie
rapidly grew worse until Saturday
afternoon, when death relieved him
of his suffering.
Mr.. Phillips was born in Hogan,
Cornwall, England. in the latter part
of 1912, and was, consequently Mt the
time of his death, in the sixty eighth
year of his age. He came to America
in 1912, and lived in Grant county n
few years. In 1915 or 1916 he moved
to Mineral Point. He has been prom.
inently identified with the history of
this city, In 1876 he built the L. 5
Hotel, since which time, with the
exception of few years spent on
his farm west of the city; the hotel
has been kept by him.
Mr.. Phillips was n man very widely
known and highly respected. rs an
upright citizen. Our people and
other friends OF the deceased far and
near unite in mourning his death, and
extend to his bercaved family their
warmest sympathy.
The funeral took place on Tuesday,
at 8: 30 Il. M, and was attended by !.
large cOncourse Of people.
