A DsiieaefaI Enterteia1aeut

The performances Of the Swedish
Lady Quartette and Of Miss Emile Cav
in, the queen of elocution, at Bancroft
Hall, on Saturday night more than jus
titled the high encomiHms which have
been bestowed upon those artists by the
press throughout the country, and it Is
with q sense Of deep satisfaction that We
nste the handsome attendance upon the
occasion in question, and the hearty evil
dences OF appreciationwhich were elicit
ed throughout the entire programme,
which was opened by the recitation of
"Jane Conquest" by Mas Gavin, in q
style that has certainly never been equal
ed in Emporia, though it was in her
second number: "How Rubenstein
Played" that she captured her au-
ditors and gained that hold
upon their sympathies which moved them
TO tears over the pathetic story Of Con-
ner, convulsed them with laughter dur
ing her humorous renditions, and awed
them with the grandeur of her tragic
powers in the PRESERVATION Of the wronged
and vengeful Medea. It is indeed high
tribute TO the perfection of Miss Gavin's
art that she should have been so enthusi
astically received in a community that
has enjoyed the privilege of hearing
Murdoch and Mcknight, who are re.
garded among the most iIlustrious rep
resentatiyes of their profession.
The singing Of the quartette was sll
that the most fastidious lover of music
could ask, and far transcribed the high
est expectations that had been found
ed upon the fattering reports which
had preceded the sweet songsters
from the land Of Thor and Odin. New
or, IN Emporia, were the varied and won
derfal possibilities Of the human voice
30 strikingly exemplified as by the per.
forn1ances which blended in the most
perfect harmony the entire range Of vo.
cal expression, from the clear, bird like
soprano Of Miss Larson to the deep, rich
cOntrslto Of Miss Cedegreu, and the
charming and unique Swedish melodies
which made up q considerable portion Of
the program afforded ample scope fol
the rare powers of the famous quartette
But more exquisite, If possible, were
the sweet tones Of the northern night.
ingales, as they sang the songs dear to
every American heart, and enraptured
the audience with the dear, familiar
tones Of the "Sweet Byeand-Bye'' and
way Down upon the Swanee River
blending like the chords Of delicately
tuned instrument Of faultless mechanism
and marvellous expressios.
The entertainment throughout, was,
in all regards, the most charming which
has ever visited Emporis, and should il
ever be repeated, it will be to "A audi
ence much larger than even the very
creditsbls one Of Saturday night.

The social at the Congregational
church Friday night is reported to have
been very pleasant affair. The vocal
solos by Mrs. 1. d. Fox, Mrs. Captain
Sommers and Charlie Holmes were re-
ceived with great favor, and q recitation
by Miss Joy, added much TO the interest
Of the entertainment Another agree
able feature OF the program were the
declamations by Ruth Plumb and Daisy
Tyler, both of whom won much praise
by their pretty little performances. The
usual refreshments were served, and q
general good time was hsd by all In 1t
tendance.

New York Heralds To the list Of
states that have recently, by large legis-
lative majorities, passed laws ,forbidding
the use or manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors except for medicinal purposes
must now be added the great state Of
Pennsylvania, should the senate, as is
expected, concur in the bill just passed
by the assembly. If all these bills are
signed by the governors of the respec-
tive states the business of distilling will
pick up prodigiously elsewhere, for NO
one in his senses is going to believe that
drinking will cease because distilleries
are suppressed. A great deal Of unsanc-
titled joy will be manifested in New
York. and if the demand from other
states prevents our distilleries from sell
ing any of their liquor at home the re-
joicing will not all be done by sinners.
The only fear of the distillers will be
that when New York whisky gets into
other states there will be such rapid
decrease of the population that all but
the most abandoned soaker will be
frightened and take to water to save
their lives

tiers of the Edison Electric Lighting Company, on
Fifth avenue. From the outside the houses ap-
peared to be brilliantly illuminated with gas, the
blending rays naturally expected from the electric
lamps being wanting. Several rooms ON the diff
son and several of his assistants present.
When Edison WIS asked if single light could be
turned off, he went to single lamp in the hall and
turned the light out with n thumb-screw. BY re-
Versng movement he turned it on again. Prepa-
rations are making for putting in the company's
lamps in that quarter of the city extending from
Spruce and Wall streets and included between
Nassau street and the East River. 1t will compete
with the gas companies. Wires have already been
put into forty houses.
