Mrs. BAngalon played Monastery
Bells rs usual, Il was disguised under

cry one knows Whist Is coming after
Nrs. Baucalon finally gets the piano
moved into precisely the right place
which is always Just where il stood be-
fore she had il moved the frs. time
and after seating herself for the fiftieth
time. finally concludes TO remain seated.
Mrs. Bangsion's unvarying habit of
wearing her gloves TO the pisno. and oc-
capyIng seven minutes IN removing
them, Is not Al afsctation. 1t is an act
of mercy, and gave the people nearest
the door an opp rtunity to slip out be
fore she begins to play. The reporters
OF the city press used TO go ont at this
time: bat since Bangalcu has taken TO
standing at the door TO watch refugees.
they have, with excellent taste and bet
ter Judgment, abandoned the custom.
and silently swallowed their fall cup of
misery. As Mrs. Bangaloa left the
stage Joab Garbey. who was asleep in
the gallery, fell OFF bis chair, and mis-
liking the noise for an encore, Mrs
Bsngslon returned, and pounded ont
the ''Maidsn's Prayer" Soasbody
ought to kill that man Gar5ey.
:. Professor" Snowpost played violin
sOlo-De Berlot's Seventh Air" Ever
body was grateful that he didn't try ths
eight. The Professor dresses like
waiter. and handles fiddle ike grad
uate from side-shog. He is III great
demand at all the dances down at Wv
seekers Branch and the S4ssafras Bot
toms, and IL Is believed in fact, that all
his musical education was acquired at
Dan Coseman's store. at the old ford,
on Ciymer's Creek. He is irving to get
up class il tais city, and if this man
attempts to teach our boys to play on
the fiddle as he does, be ought 10 be
lynched. And he will be if the Tam
boree has any influence in musical cir
cles.
1t was as good as a circus to hear Ma
dame Paiapiue sing Robert, tot que
Jaime" If the old lady's lungs were
AZ big as her feet, she might sing more
and wheeze less. Az it is, candor COM
pels. rs TO say that case of asthma
weighing two hundred and seventeen
pounds is no artistic addition to q con-
cert.
Miss Cppercea played the same old
. improvisation" she began PLAYING in
concerts Is years ago. 1t lasts about as
well AS her diamonds and changes about
as little. II is time she had it publish
ed and improvised something new.
Jim Ih1rloT came out and sang his
unchanging ''Ah, so far" The agony
of the audience during this time of
trial was fairly insupportable. His
high notes are greatly admired, because
his yoice always breaks into thin fai-
setto squeak on them aud he can't make
SD much roise az he can on his chest
tones. If Jim had been born dumb. or
his audience deaf, the world would be
much happier. Some time he will 90
away from home and sing, and the
judge will give him sixty days for it.
Still this would not be ex.ravagalt.
Ills singing Is worth it; every day of
it.
The only excuse for putting Miss
Naltby on the program every time there
il p concert In Shawneetown, is that her
father is worth eighty thousand dollars,
and owns the biggest brewery i'll Lowell
county.
With voice, musical education and
general ability about up to the grade of
BABY Mine," she sang her old standby
last night. the "Spinning- wheel Song"
from Faust" If Marguerite could
have sung it as Miss Maltby sung it. it
would have saved the poor child a world
of trouble. 1t would have scared
"Faust," "Mephistophelea.'' and the
whole gang of them out of the country.
There IL more music III Mr.. Maltby's
bung- starters than there is in his daugh-
ter. Much has heretofore been sad in
these columns abou. Miss Maltby's
beauty. While the spirit of truth is up
on US We are free tn admit that she is
pretty-in the dark.
Mr.. Bellows sang "Oh, We Tears" Mr..
Bellows has u rich baritone voice-a
wheelbarrow tone, that Is. Unfortu-
nately for his effort last evening, no.
body knew he was singing until he fin
ished the butohery of art and bowed
himself OH the stage. Every body
thought hs was Just trying his voice. If
ever his voice is tried, IL will be convict
ed on it's own evidence.
James III. Blowson and Ebert Hafut
sang "Larboard Watch" 1t is a great
pity these tung men ara not aware
that their mouths, were made tn catch
flies with rather than FOR singing Ha-
fut's voice is SO like a fog horn that ho
may be psrioned for n tendency TO sing
marine songs: but aside from a plea of
natural Gepravity aud ionoish misan-
throps. there Is 20 excuse whatever for
BlowsJns atteinptir g 10 sing in public
These misguided young men were down
on the program for a second atrocity
but 1t WAS omitted at the urgent request
OF the audience. .
The piano used at this massacre was
the same jineling old harpsichord from
tue mus,o store Jin lie. Jangle & Co,
that has appeared for free put at all
locoi oUtrages of musical nature for
the p ST twenty years. Last winter this
enterprising house traded off the old
du!c,rner for n silver watch: bat the
man who got the alleged piano brought
II back. paid seven dollars forfeit, aud
got his watch. and We suppose all future
concerts IN Shawneetown will be haunt
ell by this venerable nightmare until the
police interfere.
Our readers will be delighted to learn
that this Is the last concert of the sea-

come. As the day wore away men
sought him at his lodgings. but he was
not there. All that the ticket agent at
the railway station could tell was that
he bought his ticket for San Antonio,
Texas. Mr.. Stielpen stated that he had
been appointed United States Minister
TO that port. aud had been ordered to
proceed thither and enter upon his
dates at once, and that in all likelihood
he would not return to this country I'M
