Thursday evening a very select and crit
zeal audience attended Miss Caves recital
at Shaw music store. Miss Mollie Ross
sang well and gives some promises of de-
eeloping into something of singer. Mrs.
A. g. Walden's and Miss Caves La Par
tenza" was excellent, and the statement
can be upheld with pleasure. But the re
mainder of the program-ln the language
Of the masses-was rocky" and surely
this statement can be upheld by those who
heard it and are competent to judge. This
criticism is not unfair. Incompetent
scholars, whether through lack of
talent or practice should not
be paraded before the public. 1t is disa-
greeable all around, both to their hearers
who have to listen, to their instructor as
it places his reputation in that line in
danger, and to themselves, throwing them
open TO Fidicule and derision for which
they are in no way to blame, through a
teachers 1attery and misguidance. This
applies to all recitals that have ever been
given here, and a remodeling of this pecul-
lar local custom will be hailed with de-
light by all.
The recital of the Mozart conservatory
at the Garfield university Monday evening
can not, in the popular sense of the word.
be criticized. The audience was pleased.
and as that is the principal idea of ali pub
lie entertainments, nothing critical may
be ventured from that standpoint. But
the audience was Cruder and more unmu-
steal than any that ever assembled tins
side of Hong Kong, where Arkansas Tray
eller and Amid Lang Syne We're absent
from the program. They encored every
thing. They made no distinction, except
once-that was to diminish the applause OF
The best number on the program,
Mrs. Finlay Ross Symmetrical Their
favorite of the evening was the orchestra
which. while it has made wonderful i'm
provement to be sure, does not deserve
such wild. insatiate bursts of applause.
The orchestra, however, lost favor at the
performance of Glacier Gardens, which
the most enthusiastic. The piano duo by
Misses Carrie Fox and Bertha Lille was
very good. and Miss Lena Richards de-
serves praise One of the best rendered
numbers was La Source" by Emelie Bis
SantZ, notwithstanding that the young
lady was somewhat afflicted with age
fright. Mrs. Finlay Ross played Listzs
Lieberstraum No. 8 and Mendelssohn's
Spilnerlied, the latter .much better than
the former. Mrs. Ross also sang very
sweetlv in another part of the program.
The piano ballet music 'Feramors"
by Rubenstein was performed by Misses
Eta Barnett and Nora Inglish. There
was too much of the pound" element
present, which, however, may be eN-
planned by the omnipresent "stage-fright."
The young gentlemen who formed the
male quartet could profitably found a
vocal school in Oklahoma as they were
entirely out of place here. The other
numbers were, if not bad, but mediocre.
The recital if not painful surely was not
agreeable.
A marriage in Haut govt and one, too,
which presented its novelties, occurred at
Guaymas on March 6. 1889. on which occa-
sion Miss Maria LetitiA Zuher was united
in wedlock to Mr.. \. T. Mead both of |
Sonora, Mexico. The groom was formerly |
n Wichita boy and is quite well known |
here. He is now auditor of the Sonora |
railroad, which fiattering position he has |
held for some years past, The bride, who |
as photograph verlties is very beautiful |
is the daughter o. prosperous citizen-of |
Sonora. Three were two ceremonies, one |
In Spanish, a civil contract conforming TO |
the Mexican laws at Guaymas, and an |
other, on the sth, at Nogaies, Ariz., per-
formed by the church, so that social recoS-
milton might be obtained, as Spanish mar
riages are not sanctioned by the higher
