wind. regulates the bowels, and is the best
known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising

sense of the meeting that permanent fund
should be raised before tbs house was opened
and committee should be raised 10 canvass
for the same. Enough has already been sub
scrbed TO purchase the Home and put II In

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
HUNGARIAN GYPSY BAND.

~~'~~~~ANNNN
Last evening at City Hall was given the
hrst OF two concerts by this famous organiza-
ton. The audience was large and very en-
thusiastic. The music is unique, unlike any.
thing previously presented here, and its chief
characteristic, and charm as well, is an in
describable free, full expression, as satisfy ing
in its pathetic phases as in the mad abandon
OF its mirth. The numbers, instrumental and
vocal, were without exception excellent. Miss
Ella Cleveland Henderson, contralto, certainly
has magnificent voice, and her songs Awake
Saturnia" and Forever and Forever" reused
the full enthusiasm of the discriminating au-
dience. The second concert by this company
is given this evening, in the Stockbridge
course, with change of programme. There
should be, and undoubtedly will be, a full
house.
