1t is hoped that the hosts of friends of
Mr.. Frank Wood will not be disappointed
at the outcome of his testimonial concert at
Market hall next Tuesday evening, but the
sale of tickets thus far promises but a
meager benefit. All feel kindly towards
the veteran musician who has done more
for music in st. Paul than any other man,
and who during his residence of
quarter of century has donated his serv-
ices on thousands of occasions, declining
to receive remuneration from societies and
families. Ii would be a source of NORTH
cation if he is not generously remembered
on the occasion of his first benefit, especially
when the best and oldest families of St.
Paul so highly esteem him. The
program which is appended is rich
in gems, and Mr.. Woods Chicago friends
have manifested their interest by sending us
their representative, Miss Elite Butler, q
soprano of great skill and beauty. She
will contribute two numbers. How humil-
iating it would be to see our people thr0ng
10 hear Gilmore'S orchestra, when that fur
nished voluntarily by Mr.. Siebert's combi-
nation is quite as good. Reserved seats may
be procured at Wampler & MuSSetter's and

Tonight Seibert's orchestra will initiate
its season of popular Sunday evening con-
certs at Turner hall. To those whose re-
ligious tenets will permit them to attend
entertainments of this kind, it may be said
that in no way can they pass the evening
more pleasurably. Mr.. Seibert's orchestra
has just passed its twenty-third anniver-
sary and needs no commentator of it
merits. Those who propose to patronize
these concerts may rest assured that they
will listen to the best music performed in a
mastery manner. Following is to-night's
