an opportunity. 1t is fine aria,
but he was heard to better advantage in
the "Lauda Sion," later on. He was
well received, but without any marked
enthusiasm. Miss Won DoenhOff was
very favorably received. She sang the
aria from 'Le Prophetic" known by its
opening words, "Oh! My Son." Miss
Won Doenhoff throws great deal Of
feeling into her singing, and the varied
sentiments of Meyerbeer's music were
well expressed by her. This was her
first appearance before st. Paul audi
ence, and she undoubtedly scored sue
cess. Her voice is a rich contraltO Of
great power aud wide range. Her high
notes are clear and ring like golden
bell. What her face is like could not
be Judged. owing to the awful back
ground of brilliant gas jets. SO far as
could be seen as she made her bow
twice to the tumultuous plaudIts of the
delighted audience, her stage pres
ence is good. She sings alone and with
out accompaniment, and this was the
time that her voice showed its quality
in the most marked way. Many were
very much disappointed because she
refused an encore. After the applause
which greeted Miss Won DOenhOff had
died away, the orchestra played two
OF the most exquisite pieces of music
that were ever written. For actual.
beauty they unquestiOnably took the
palm over everything else played yes
terday evening. The first was Taubert's
"Liebesliedchen.' After the first few
bars, in which the music seems to cry
"Meine Liebe Meme Liebe!' there
comes most entrancingly lovely pian-
issimo passage composed of arpeggios
on the viOlins and viOlas. This
rises and falls, GIBBS and flows,
swells and dies away in the most
fascinating series OF crescendos and
diminuendos. The piece is brief, Blu.

LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.
Three Days Without Food and
Yet Not Hungry,

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 3.-A man
was found near the Pennsylvania track,
about mile below Johnstown, and I'M
der a clump of bushes.sWhen stretched
upon two railroad ties his tongue ex-
tended from his mouth and he gasped
as if death was near at hand. By the
assistance of stimulantS, he was in a
degree revived. and he told the fol-
lowing story: II was visiting friends in
Johnstown Friday, and when the flood
came we were submerged without
moments warning. I remained there
for an hour, until rescued
through window of the house
in which was then prisoner, but lost
my footing and chung to log, floating
down until reached the Cambria iron
works, when caught onto the roof of
the building. l remained there for
nearly an hour, when l was knocked
again from my position on the roof. /
fioated down until got here, and I
stuck in an apple tree. I
saw and heard number of
other unfortunate victims when
they were swept by me appealing for
some one to save them. One woman
and two children were floating along
in apparent safety when they struck the
corner of building and all went down
together. and l would rather have died
than h ave been compelled to witness
that sight. have not had bite to eat
since Friday night, and as heaven is my
judge I don't feel hungry" He was
taken to the hospital and rendered all
assistance possible.

Then, the audience was in the best of

sat the male portion of the chorus, and
the gallery pleasingly empty served as
an elegant reflector of the sounds which
thrilled those beneath. 1t was con-
cluSively proven last evening that the
acoustic properties of the Peoples
church are not only excellent as per-
manently built, but were beautifully
maintained in the special arrangement
for last evenings concert. Syntheti-
cally. the evening was one grand ova-
ton to the fine sensibilities of cult
ured audience. a musical treat. the like
of which has never before pealed forth
in this city, and one and all, justly
proud of being present, heartily joined
in ringing applause to the stars of the
evening as the music ceased and the
last celebrity left the stage.

AN APPEAL FOR AID,
Gov. Beaver Issues an Appeal for
Aid.-What Is Needed.

HARRISBURG, Pa. June Slate to-
night Gov. Beaver issued strong ap-
peal for aid. 1t is addressed to the peo-
pie of the United States, and is as fol-
lows:
''The executive of the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania has refrained hitherto from
making an appeal to the people for their
benefactions in order that he might receive
definite, reliable information from the cen
tiers of disaster during the late floods, which
have been unprecedented in the history of
the state or nation. Communication by
wire has been established with Johnstown
to-day The civil authorities are in control,
the adjutant general of the state co-operat
ing with them. Order has been restored and
is likely to continue. Newspaper reports as
to loss Of life and property have not been ex-
aggerated. The valley of the Conemaugh,
which is peculiar, has been swept from one
end to the other as with the bosom
of destruction. 1t contained a popula-
ton of from 10000 to 1000 people, living.
for the most part along the banks of a small
river. confined within narrow limits. The
most conservative estimates place the loss of
life at 5000 human beings, and of property,
at $25, OOO, OOO Whole towns have been de-
stroyed; not q Yestige remains. In the more

were many people taking their seats
and considerable confusion in conse-
Quence. None, however, were permit
ted to enter the hall after the COM
mencement, and the disturbance was
short-lived.
Was it success? Eminently so.
After the close numbers of people
crowded to the stage to shake MacLach-
Ian 10y the hand and congratulate him.
All who were there were satisfied.
While some of the more critical found
occasional errors. these errors were too
trifing to catch the ears OF the majority.
The chorus work was excellent, and
the members deserve the highest praise
for the contentious work they must
have given to the difficult music they
cOntraltOS deserve especial cOmmenda-
ton. Not flaw could be detected in
their singing. OF the two the contraltos
were the better. The volume of sound
was full, and the attack prompt and
vigorous. At times the tenOrs we're a
little weak, and once or twice not quite
up to time, while on one occasion the
violent agitation of the conductors head
and baton in their direction, followed
by the instantaneous drop in their
voices, called attention to the fact that
they were singing too loud. With these
tritiing exceptions, the chorus work was
splendid.
FRIGHT ON THE STICK"
as prominent musician expressed 1t.
What seemed to take the fancy of the
large audience most was the piano play
ing of Fraulein Aus der Ohe. The
List concerto called forth thunderous
tumult of applause, which lasted for
several minutes. While this enthusi-
asm was venting itself the orchestra had
entirely retired, and the fair young mu
stefan had five times come forward and
Bowed. Each bow was the signal for
a wilder Outburst, and at last she
very graciously sat down to the

FEW IMPERFECTIoNs.
The Arrangements as Nearly Per
feet as Possible.

The Arrangements as Nearly Per-
feet as Possible.
The large stage was arranged with
tier of seats rising one above the other
with the alcove behind, which has been
left vacant until the organ arrives to
fill it. The scene on entering the hall
was one of great beauty, the organ al
cove and tier of seats down to the stage
being almost filled by the sopranos and
altos of the chorus, all dressed in
white. The ends of the galleries on
each side were filled with somber
mass of men. These were the bassos
and ten0rs, the former in the right, the
latter in the left gallery. AS the fans
fluttered over the gay mass OF white and
colors in the chorus the scene re-
sembled bed of summer flowers
with a multitude of butterflies fit
ting over them. The resemblance
was the more complete when an oc-
casional Whit of delicate perfume stole
down from above. The upper lights on
the arch above the alcOve shed bril-
liant light on the fair sOngstreSs within,
and two standards of four lights each
rising from the stage indicated tfat
the orchestra would have plenty of
light, but proved most annoying
feature of an otherwise delightful enter
tainment. This was first noticed when
SCR. Campanari took his place to sing
the first solo. He stood with his back
to the four powerful gas Jets, which
rose just to level with his head. This
made it absolutely impossible for a
great portion of the audience to see his
face, and proved very trying to the eyes
while he was singing. The same ap-
piled to every sOlOist of the evening, and
could have been avoided by slight
change of position on their part. A few
steps forward and to the left would
extent, but even then there would have
been a great part OF the audience who
would have experienced the same thing.
The only way to really rectlfy the OBJ
struction, for such it was, would be to
have elevated the lights at least four
feet, or, better still, to have extin-
guished them altogether. A large mass
of brilliant light is bad background
for any ones face, more especially when
that face is one which thousands of
people desire to watch closely while
singing. Tonight the lights referred
to will scarcely set off Miss Emma
Juch's charming head to advantage,
and will greatly disappoint
WASH uuHUcI VI pCODlc WuOSO dp-
probation OF her singing is greatly
enhanced by the beauty Of her
face. 1t is to be hoped the management
will see to it that that particular spray
of light is extinguished in future. 1t
was announced that the concert would
start promptly at p. m. This was not
actually the case, for it was fully S:15
when the members of the orchestra
came filing onto the stage and took
their places. When Carl Zerrahn's
grizzled whiskers appeared there
was hearty round of ap-
plause which the great conductor
acknowledged with a courtly bow.
Then ensued the usual sound of tuning
instruments, but this did not last long,
and when the ivory baton of Zerrahn
tapped neighboring chair every one
was ready. For few minutes after the
luscious notes of the viola announced
that Rossini's overture had begun, there

warning to the people as should h AVE
been given. The messages were held
by few officials about the railroad. who
neglected to sound the alarm until it
was too late. At that time the water
had reached the second story OF some OF
the dwellings in the lower part of the
city. All bridges had been swept away
by the avalanche of water then pouring
through the city. The warnings, which
were received in ample time for all to
have escaped, were sneered at and cast
aside as being an old story. About $3.50
the whistles and bells gave warning
that the dam had broken, but then it
was too late. There was a roaring
sound, and before the people could
realize the danger the water was upon
them in mass, carrying everything
before it. Had they taken warning IN
the morning from the messages received,
thousands of lives would have been
saved,
