The School Concert

Our citizens were treated to a
feast of vocal music last week, to a
grander degree, it is believed, than
ever before. ! About one hundred
voices took part, including some
good tenors from Dodgeville and
Linden.
As is generally known it was for
the purpose of raising funds to
secure a piano for the Mineral Point
High School. Two nights were EN-.
ployed, and while the attendance
the first night failed in what it ought
to be, the second night brought out
an attendance that filled the Opera
Hall; still the total net receipts fell
considerably short Of the required
amount. This condition of circum-
stances did not satisfy some of our
enterprising men, among them Mr..
James Spensley, who arose to the
emergency ere the crowd got out,
He announced the receipts and de-
ficiency, and at once sieged the
audience with what may be termed
a "Methodist collection" and at the
close of the raid on pocket books
and promises, which all good natur-
edly endured, nearly enough was
raised to wipe out the deficit. The
balance was easily secured the next
m orning by self-constituted com
mittee of two-W. A. Jones and Dr..
Tallman. Such conclusion and
success was entirely unexpected by
the parties who first conceived ths
plan of giving entertainments to Sc
cure a piano; yet is it not another
illustration of the wonderful gener-
osity of our people in suddenly
wiping out debts?
But, to the concert. Did you ever
hear such fine, harmonious choruses,
quartetts and duets, or ever better
appreciate solos? No attempt to be
personal will be made, other than to
refer to the untiring work of Prof.
S. T. Osborne, the director. The
pieces were all new, yet he sue
ceeded in two weeks in drilling
these one hundred singers down to
a degree of excellence and harmony
as never was heard in Mineral Point
before. To be frank, it is not likely
that he would have succeeded so
well had he not such an excellent
supply of natural talent. Our city
has long been noted for its musical
talent, and this event will increase
the notoriety.
The effort to secure piano was
first put on foot by the principal,
Prof. Cabanis, we are informed, and
he may well feel elated over the
hearty endorsement.
The TRIBUNE feels proud of the
interest thus manifested in our
schools, and hopes it may never grow
less.

MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER II,

Mn. S. A. MILLER, of Monroe,
who is general agent for personal
Memories Of Gen. Z. II. sheridan" +"
called on us Tuesday. He is here
for the purpose of appointing local
agent and the introduction of this
important historical work, which is
not only instructive, but as interest
ing as romance. So as not to be de-
ceived read what Mrs. Sheridan says:
81 have seen in several of the New
England newspapers a telegram
which says that Mr.. Frank Burr,
who has written a life of Gen. Sher.
idan, was an intimate friend of my
husband; that Gen Sheridan aided
him in the preparation of his book
and in revising it, The statements
thus made are untrue. Gen. Sheri-
dan was never an intimate friend of
Mr.. Barr, and he not only never
aided him in the preparation or re.
vision of any book, but he ordered
Mr.. Burr from his Office when that
gentleman approached him on the
subject last winter. | certainly have
no objection to any one writing Of
my husband, but when it is proposed
to foist Mr.. Burr's book upon the
public by false representations | be-
lieve that the public will forgive me
for appearing in the matter, partiou-
larry as | am prepared TO prove that
agents of Mr. Burr's publishers have
represented that am PECULIARLY

sentation also false, for | have no

cation about Gen. Sheridan except
