Sent to Prison,

Some two years ago man by the name
OF Otto Witt and his wife were divorced in
the Superior Court of this county. They
had only one child, a cripple, and the
Court decreed that the husband should pay
$40 month alimony to the wife As soon
as the bonds of matrimony were anuulled,
the husband skipped out and has never
paid cent of alimony to Mrs. Wit, who
| has had TO maintain the child. A few DAYS
since he returned to the city. His wife,
desiring settlement, had him arrested,
and yesterday he was taken before Judge
Armstrong, to snow cause why he had not
complied with the instructions of the
Court
Witt appeared in Court, as did also Mrs
Witt accompanied with the child and a
couple OF lady friends.
The Court asked Mrs. Witt if she had
been paid the amount due for alimony and
she replied she had not. Judge Armstrong
then turning TO the husband, ordered that
he be sworn. "You told me to-day" re-
| marked the Judge, that you had arranged
to settle this matter. What have you to
say about it ?" Witt tried to evade the
question, but was not successful The
Court ordered him locked up in prison I'M
til he paid his wife $50 tor counsel fees, $73
for costs of Court and 1924 in alilnony. He
was taken down stairs and locked up in a
cell, where he will remain until the $247 is
paid

For Final Preparation.

The Ladies Museum Association meets
this afternoon for the last time prior to the
opening of the Loan Exhibition to be
begun under its auspices neat Tues ay. 1t
is desired by the officers that all the men,
bers will attend, and that every one in this
puhlic-spirited work, which is for the city
and all its people, and no one interest, will
come forward and take part and suggest
and carry out methods for entertainment,
and distribute the duties of the ten days of
the exhibition so that they will fall lightly
on each. II the exhibition is a success it
will be because every member of the asso-
citation, says the Executive Committee,
gives something of energy and assistance to
it. The ladies began work at the Art Gal
lery yesterday, and preparations will go on
steadily from this time forward. To-day is
the day the sub committee, consisting of
Mrs. Mayor Gregory, Miss Helen Water
man and Mrs. G. w. Jackson, expect citi-

Last Nights Programme.

There was a crush at the fair last night
Hon. Stephen NJ. Whites address was list
ened to with the closest attention and
loudly applauded, but it was evident that
the BELL Living Skeleton and other
booths would as soon dispense with any
thing which interferes with their unesrthly
noises
Miss Kewen's squad OF young ladies, in
their picturesque dresses, gave an exhibit
ton OF drill and dumb bell exercises which
was the feature of the evening and of the
fair in fact. The various eyolutions were
applauded to the echo, and the corps car
ried away the honors Of the evening. The
young aides were entertained by the lady
managers of The fair and expressed them
selves as having had a mos, enjoyable
time. On every side the general remark
was, "Well, that drill was just the best part
OF the whole fair"
Among the many donations, Gepshlea
Bros. gave ad lib. several boxes OF cigars to
that favorite booth, and the California
Market supplied the flower booth with
camellias. The Bell Conservatory also
kindly loaned several pots of rare plants.

St. Cecilia Club Concert.

81. Cecilia Club Concert.
The St. Cecilia Ladies' Club concert
Tuesday night at the Metropolitan
Theater was well attended. but de-
served a crowded house. There were ffty
lady vocalists upon the stage, two
accompanies and Conductor Charles
Haywood. The programme, which was
published in the RECORD UNION yesterday,
was adhered to. In brief, the concert was
an emphatic success. OF course a chorus
without any male voices impresses the
nearer with the sense of want of balance
and vigor, but there was last night, not
withstanding, a sustained musical interest
beyond expectation, rejecting credit upon
the conductor who has so well succeeded
in bringing the voices up to such vigor
and fullness of expression. Feeling was &
notable characteristic of the chorus singing.
ard ever surprisingly so. The strongest OF
the individual vocal features of the pro-
gramme was the duet by Mrs. A Bonnheim
and Mrs. Willism Schaw, Till We Meet
Again" 1t was sung with Eicety of taste
and marked by sympathetic quality that
won for the two ladies exceedingly
complimentary applause, and that was not
desisted from until they consented to re .ap-
pear. Mrs. Bonnheim's fine soprano, SO
Iul of feeling and earnestness, and man.
aged with such excellent taste, was in very
happy association with Mrs. Schaw's SYM
pathetic contralto. Miss Grace Hatch was
very successful in the waltz song, the fresh
ness ard sweetness of her voice and the
distinct of her enunciatiou especially dis
tinguishiDg her number on the programme.
Mr.. Heywoods tenor ballad with support
ing chorus OF female voices, was a produc-
ton Of excellence, and well deserved
the hearty encore that followed Hugo
Mapsfeldt, the distinguished pianist, never
played better in concert here To
comment upon his method where be is
so well known is unnecessary. Both his
numbers were brilliant, of high sustained
merit, and drew such emphatic expressions
OF commendation, that in both instances
Mr.. Mansfeldt responded, he thus really
filing four numbers. Louis Heine, the
violoncelloist. twice appeared, aud was
recalled. He is careful player
tasteful, and gratifies an exacting taste
Mrs. ]. G. Bainbridge sang "a Day
Dream with such success as to win a re-
call and warm approval of her vigorous
style The concluding number of the
evening introduced Miss Mamie Bainbridge
as Columbia, Miss Jennie Weldy as st
Cecilia. and the club in chorus songs of the
nations. 1t was effectively rendered The
accompanies for the evening were Mrs C
A. Nesle and Mrs. j. c. Bainbridge As
whole the fret eoncert of the new club was
one OF few errors and generally sustained
merit.
