Here is what the Memphis Appeal
says of Agnes Herndon, who will be
seen next week in her new play at the
Bljou. There was an enthusiastic au-
dlence at the fremont Ope ra House last
night to witness the presentation of La
Belle Marie by Miss Agnes Herndon
and company. Her lmpersonations are
displayed with great force. In her eli
makes she is graceful and imprisoned,
convincing and forcible. In the correct
portrayal of such character as La
Belle Marie she is aided very materially
by a handsome face and beautiful form,
while she is mistress of the art of por-
trayal of the emotions which agltate the
bosom ola wronged woman"
The following notice from the Zion
Baptist church was handed in for publi-
cation. 1t is funny how some people
like to NEEDLE with other peoples bust
ness, especially some ministers who cav
they are christians. They forget who
protested to knowt hem in the pardon OF
their sins, "Let your light shine before
men that they may see your good works
and glorify your father which is in
heaven" In regards to our brother F.
Lomack, we called council and had
him ordained and published il, but did
not publish that L. C. Sheafe of st. Paul
pastor Of Pilgrim Baptist church, and j.
W. Dunjee Of Minneapolis pastor of Be-
thesda Baptist church had anything to
do with it. For neither of them had
letter of invitation, or a letter inviting
them to set with us in council,-Zion
Baptist Church.
The st. Peters church speaks for itself
as progress and prosperity are at this
time features in its circles. Rev. Will
Hanson has been working very hard to
be enabled to raise 81, 600 by the 29th of
March, which has called him right out
into the field to solicit. In this he hos
shown himself capable, and has raised a
neat sum of money within the last week.
He has also several plans by which if
successful, will net him several hundred
dollars among which is very probable
one of success. The noted jubilee singer
Miss Nellie Scott Upton is in the CITY
and has agreed to take charge of a
chorus of jubilee singers and assist in
raising the heavy debt off the church.
There is sufficient talent in MINNEAPOLIS
IN this line. to not only lift the debt from
the church, by giving concerts, etc, but
to recompense the participants luca-
lively. They intend going into many
white churches Of the city and thor
oughly melt the hearts of the saints and
sinners with their harmonious jubilee
music. Who can resist the temptation
OF hearing the renowned jubilee singer
Miss Nellie Scott Upton, the nightingale
singer Mrs. Gertie Anderson, our favor
tie accomplished soprano Mrs. VIM. M.
Smith, with the efficient talent of Mrs.
r. J. Coleman as pianist. Other talent
of golden worth will appear in the re-.
find chorus of jubilee singers. Why
should we object to singing those songs
composed by us? The music of which
is peculiar to our people and for har-
mony and melody the world is 1T loss
to compete with. AS the Scotch take
great delight in singing their own
pecu lar music, the Germans theirs, the
Irish theirs, should not we ours? which
is given up by every one to produce
more pure MELODY and harmony than
any other.
