sIderate effort will be charitable oontribu-

hands of these ladies'. The president is
Miss Xlllah Lee;the secretary and treasurer,

for unanimous election to honorary mem
bership, and shalt always endeavor to keep
out OF any "stew" and "broip' 80 far as
active preparations are concerned.
DURING the week past some half dozen

With pleasure that we observe that our
gifted citizen and fair friend Miss Nina Vol
scored triumph last Thursday evening IL
Galveston at the complimentary conoer
rendered by the Mendesohn and Salaman
der societies at Harmony hall. Miss VOL
was honored with the solo parts In this Ora
torio Of Autumn. In speaking other pure
rich melodious tones, a critic says that he
aria from traviata open forth the heastics

creased the number OF her admirers IN tn,
city by the sea, and has added to her stat,
reputation az one Of the sweetest warbler
OF the time.
VIZ find In the Chattanooga Commercial
the following article Wlerringto fine liter
AIRY entertainment given by ayoung lady
formerly OF this city, well'known and mo
kindly remembered by many Of our olIi
zens. The article says; tine people u
Chattanooga showed their appreciation d
the daughter OF their own city when the,
packed the hall Of the Y. NJ, q. A. ON Tues
day night to attend the reading OF Mis
Winifred Stevens, who returned ate
several years OF absence, TO illustrate betur
them the progress she had made II
that most oil arming OF human accomplish
ments, elocution. They were not disap
pointed. The charm OF goo,
reading lies In It's naturalness
In the absence of afleotation an,
exaggeration, and IN It's faithful rendition
OF the emotions OF the author. In III,
pieces read by Misc Stevens she excellcd II
all these, even though the stage surround
iAgs aud effects were decidedly against her
We have heard many public readers VIII
had good voices aud had acquired distinc
enunclation by study, but were utterly In
capable OF grasplng the thought or spirit o
the author, or OF properly ascentiuS the In
posing and impressive parts OF the oompC
siiion. These are not faults OF Miss Slt
VEINS. She had n good voice, distinct nj
terance, and almost absolute freedom fror
colloqulal pronunciation and accent He
strength lies In the dramatic and patheti,
and her rendition OF the thrilling scene
the Roman arena could not be excellet
There Is btigh, future for this young lad
