but the more outrageous he acted, the
more affsble and loving she behaved.
Last week he was talking with a

would show some signs OF annoyance.

Who Sings Bass Beautifully.

In all your correspondents musical
experience, he never heard anything
to equal the voice Of a young lady who
sang in this city at a concert last

seems rather an u~nscientifc classified

he has ever heard sing came so near
to deserving this vocal classified.
ton. The young lady's name
is Annie Wilt. aud she is
about sixteen years Of age, yet she
makes a full, round tone as low as D
fiat on the base clef. What her voice
will be when its tones develop their
full powers, | cannot pretend to say.
The young lady's mother is dead, and
with her three sisters and their father
they live out in Cranberry township,
on o farm near the little oil district
known in petroleum circles as the
Cranberry Patch" about six miles
from this city and an equal distance
from Franklin, the county site. These
four girls have long been famed among
the country folks for their singing and
their services have been in great de-
mand at the campmeetings OF the vi
cinity. Only recently has their fame
extended beyond the country people.
1t chanced, however, that in his tray
els through the country, S Fl. Prather,
Superintendent of the schools of Ven.
ango county, heard them sing. Aston
ished and delighted he soon brought.
them before a Franklin audience.
where they created a decided sensa
tion. The w. G. s. U. Of this place
brought them here, and their voices
that OF Annie in particular, was a
matter Of no little a%stOnishment to the
musical people Of this place. With
proper cultivation this phenomenal
voice would challenge the wonder and
admiration Of the world, and there is
talk among the lady's admirers among
the musicians OF this vicinity of organ
izinS benefits, the proceeds Of which
will be devoted to giving her a thor
Olgh musical education.
