Mrs. KsndrIck'a Musicale,

Mrs. Kendrick's Musicale.
At the hall Thursday evening, was, we re-
Pret TO say. but meagrely attended, q con-
dition of affairs which inevitably effects
the success OF an entertainment by dis
piriting the performers and detracting
from the interest which uniformly per-
vades larger audiences. The evening
was not suspicious, and there has
been so much going In Emporia
recently that it was scarcely to be expect
ed that the hall would be filed. though
better attendance than was present
might have reasonably been hoped for.
We take pleasure in saying that the per.
formsnces of Mrs. Kendrick, on the pi-
ano were fully up to the high standard
which report had ascribed to her,
and we cheerfully attest to the bril-.
liancy Of her execution, and her
graceful manipulation Of the keys
Her programme embraced . number oil
popular selections, though she rendered
with excellent effect composition OF
Beeihoven's for her fifth number
Her admirable touch is aided by meas
ure Of expression that is not often rivaled
by amateur performers, and her method
throughout gives evidence of most cx
cellent schooling. The vocal perform
ances of Mrs. C. s. Cross, Miss frankie
Stotler and Mr.. Bennett varied the
programme most agreeably and were
well received. Miss Hurst, in the duo
in which she assisted Mrs. Kendrick
did very handsomely, and came in for l
fair share of the applause which sue
ceeded each performance.

In announcing that the election in
Usage county on the proposition to aid
the construction Of the Kansas City and
Emporia railroad by voting bonds to the
amount of $4,000 per mile, was to take
place the 2ist, we were one day behind
time. The election took place Thursday
and we learn from parties who are just
in from the Marias des Cygnes valley
that the proposition carried by a
vote in the proportion OF sixty
to twelve. This is not quite unanimous
but the majority is sufficient to show &
very decided preponderance OF sentiment
in favor of the proposed line. Jackson
township, in this county, votes on the
same question the 18th of February, and
there will be some lively skirmishing in
iae interim between the advocates oI
the above named road, and the Kansa;

Mr.. Jay. the worthy proprietor OF what
has always been known as Bancroft hall,

OF enterprise and an intelligent ap-
probation OF the wants Of The public by
making recent Improvements at that
place Whicss render It one Of the most
attractive and desirable halls in the state.
The stage appointment are frsi-class. and
nothing is lacking TO insure the conf

there which the public spirit of the
owner could devise. or bis ample means
provide, and yet the pleasure OF nine
tenths Of the entertainments given At
the hall are wantonly marred Wy set Of
hoo6lums who either troop up and

formances, or gain admission TO the hall,
and keep up CHATTER to
the intense annoyance of that
portion Of the house who
are interested In the performance and
have paid for the privilege OF enjoying it.
On the evening OF the Litts concert,
two of the most beautiful repditions OF
the evening were broken in upon by the
exasperating racket caused by herd Of
young rowdies tearing down the stairs
in their clumsy boots, just at tine when
every ear was keenly alive 10 the sensa-
lions of the most perfect harmony, and

in view Of what tho public has had e
