from its special correspondent in the
Samoan islands created the widest
interest Yesterday. The fact that the
thrilling scenes detailed by the telegraph
had been witnessed by young Mormon
missionary who had himself narrowly
escaped being caught on the great Pacific
in that terrific storm, added most vivid
interest TO the recital 1t is probable that
very few of the largest journals in the
country were beforehand with THE HERALD
in receiving a special letter on the great
marine disaster
A VERY interesting and pleasant enter !
tainment was given last evening IN the |
Twentieth ward school house, the occasion |
being a farewell benefit rendered by the |
members of the ward to Edgar d. Simmons |
who will shortly leave the city on mission |
TO Turkey. 1t was considerable of a tribute |
to the young man, who may consider him |
self highly regarded by his numerous |
friends. Taking part in the concert were |
the following well-knOwn characters, every |
one of which was recalled by vociferOus |
applause from the two or three hundred !
people assembled. Bishop o. F. Whitney |
was down for a recitation; the Easton- !
Whitney Spencer Goddard quartette, one |
of its excellent selections; Bessie Dean, a |
song in her usual pleasant manner |
and sweet voice; r. G. EastOn sang
s'My Love is Like the Red, Red, Rose;"
MIR. and Mrs j. T. Dunbar sang a beauti-
full duet. George D. Piper sang the Lin
den Tree" Mable Young gave a comic
recitation which put the house into con
vulsions of laughter. Misses Viola Pratt,
Mary Romney and Fannie Savage were |
each at their best in vocal selections. The
Messrs. Browning gave some beautiful
mandolin and guitar music. The ever
genial w. c. Dunbar was there and did his
full share. During the intermissiOn boun
tiful lunch was served by the lady friends
of the beneficiare, which was apparently
much appreciated. A neat sum OF money
was raised for Mr.. Simmons.
