The musical overture, q piano duet by
Mrs. E. j. White and Mrs. Tllden was q
pleasing introduction to the music of the
evening. Mrs. Judge Francis of Bis.
marck, gave selection from Robert
Browning, "Herve Riel.'' Mrs. Francis
made her first appearance before James
town audience and certainly delighted it
last night. The audience was instantly
attentive st her first lines and became at
once Impressed with her ability and cul
ture as a dramatic reader. Mrs. A. w.
Porter's solo "The Mariners Homes the
Sea-" was sung in her usual strong. clear
voice and received unstinted applause.
Mrs. White accompanied her ON the
piano. Mrs. F. Klann ALWAYS nl.vs the
most difficult and classical muslc and her
two selections last evening again disnlav-

hauser. The manv old friends and .c.
oua,ntances in the audience vere again
clad to welcome Mrs. A. Klaus. .Jr. in an
entertainment Of this kind. Her first
solo was sung in a clear cultivated voice
of wide range and effect. She was heart
ily spplauded and IN pretty little solo,
which she gave in place of tie vocal duet
between herself and Mrs. Porter. again
charmed her hearers. Mrs. Klaus has a
yerv excellent voice. carefully trained.
The story of the ..Kn,eht and the Lady,
as given by Mrs. Francis was certainly
never better rendered by anybody. She
is so perfectly at ease before her audience
apparently forgetting them entirely
that the effect is the true indication OF
her real, dramatic ability. The poetical
narrative is quite long, but the lady re-
lated it go charmingly and with such q
refined accent and manner that 1t was all
but too short. jamestown people will be
always glad to hear Mrs. Francis. One
of the musical gems of the evening was
the piano solo by Mrs. b. P. Tilden.
1t was the Dance of the Rustics
and its merry, catching time kept her
sympathetic hearers listening, delighted
to its close. It is full of cav music-one

one number OF the programmes very
pathetic poem from Mrs. Browning. To
say that it was excellently rendered Is
only repeating what everybody knows OF
Mrs. Graham. While many prefer to
hear her lighter and humorous selections.
yet the affecting recitation she gave won
her the heartiest applause. The musical
part OF the programme was closed, and
with it the evenings entertainment, by
the piano duet "On Blooming Meadows, u
