was discharged while pointed downwards and

success. The result was that several got
beyond the limit and towards evening sort

stores on Main street. City Marshal Holmes
arrested three Of the parties and they oc-
cupied apartments, last night, in Sheriff

be interviewed by Judge Redman, this morn

rare excellence on Tuesday evening 1t is
seldom that such thorough artists visit our

were not more literally patronized. Those

| cert that has been given here in a long time

| Miss Brown. to that which has already been
shoSered upon her by the press throughout
/ the country She has voice which is singu-
larry pleasing and this with her grand figure
and her unquestioned dramatic and eIocu-
tionary powers keep her audience in SYM
pathy with her in all her numbers Miss
Howe is a finished vocalist, her high notes
being especially fine. Mr. Lee sang with
taste and expression. Mr.. Gllder's piano
solos were exquisite. His briilancy of
touch has been compared to Gottsckalks ;.
