ABOUT.
There is nothing new or startling to tell
about in society matters, so L rise to ask if
the thousands Of good people who attended
the fine entertainments given by the st.
Paul Ideals for the benefit Of our charities
have ever stopped to consider how great a
sacrifice the devoted young gentlemen, who
gave il. made. Few can realize how MANY
nights were required to attain such perfec-
ton as they achieved. How many nights
they were detained from prayer meetings,
from study and from social eniOyments.
Hard work is needed to produce so perfect
result and cheerfully have the boys given
it. There Is little honor awarded them,
and the fun they get out of such drudgery
is mythical. They deserve a testimonial.

One of the best and most sensible ideas
preached recently is that of Mr.. George
Seibert, who proposes to test the public SEN
timent in regard to sacred concerts at the
Grand opera house on Sunday evenings.
with this idea in mind. Mr. Seibert will give
grand concert next Sunday evening with
most excellent program. The orchestra
will consist of forty men, and the soloists
will be the best, both vocal and instru-
mental. Madame e. Mae Pryce, beauti-
full and talented prima DONNA and Mr..
John III. D0nahOe, the favorite tenor. will
contribute the vocal numbers The prices
of admission are placed very low, and the
venture should, and probably will, be sue
ceSSful.
