Al Germauia Hall Last Might by Mrs,

Affair.
Mrs. sheib's Song Recital, given at Ger
mania Hall last night, was another o.
those delightful musical evenings which
no one In our city knows 80 well how to
provide as Mr., and Mrs, shelb, We pub
lished the full programme q few days since
and those who read 1t must have remarked
what q rich cluster OF musical gems 1t was,
embodying some of the grandest musical
compositions OF the ClassiCists oil the pasI
aud present day. No one over offers better
programmes to our Wheeling public than
does Mrs. Sheib, nor has any vocalist
greater II equal versatility, % inst this
programme proves. From the high, easy
flowing waltz melodies to the romantic
SONGS OF Franz, Schubert and SChumanl
or the intensely dramatic music oil Rossini,
all seems easy to this vocalist, and all
alike seems TO BIO, and is, C~onsClentiously
and equally well done. No wonder, there
fore, that her pupils who assisted her,
pRrtake Of her e~xCellenciesi and
they too gave evidence Of the
ability Of their teacher. The cycle OF
songs "Night Song, For Somebody. Mother
oh Sing Me to Rest. and He the Noblest
OF All" sung by Mrs. Sheib were scarcely
familiar enough to receive tho apprecia'
ton OF other than really musical people In
attendance, but the aria mon in sogno,''
BY Verdi, the waltz song "Per sempre,''
by GLORIA, and the Bridal Morn" nc.

iul," by Bach, which was accompanied by
piano, violin and organ, and the thrilling
soprano aria, the "Inflammatus," from
Roesini's Stabat Mater, which had Q fairly
orchestral effect, produced by the piano,
organ, cornet and violin accompaniment,
only an extensive analysis OF Mis-. Sheib's
ability could do justice. They were Ger.
tainly two Of her best efforts thus far.
Miss Hattie Horkheimer fairly out did her
former effort In singing "The Raft" by
Pinsuti; and Miss Flora Williams singing
OF the "Three Sailor Boys" by Msrzialp,
