CHICAGO, Feb. lS-Robert r. Henderson,
adissolute Engiishman, while maddened with
liquor last night shot anu severely wounded
Miss Hattie Hines choir singer, in the face
and right hand and then fatally shot himself
in the right ear The shooting occurred at
his lodgings at 60 Wendell street Mis-,
Hines some time ago became enamored with
Henderson, notwithstanding his convivial
habits, and the fact that he has wife and
four children in Batavia, n. Y. Henderson
became enraged last night when she called
because she had not responded more promptly
to come and care for him during his debauch,
and the shooting was the result.
There is no charge that Miss Hines rela-
lions with Henderson were of a criminal ma
ture, but rather that the young woman had
compromised herself through blind devotion
to a man who seemed to exercise some
strange influence over her. She persistently
refused to marry him until he got divorce

THE CONCERT.

A program with unusually interesting
numbers and the complimentary notices
preceding him from the east, called forth
good-sized audience at the Methodist
church lest night to hear Mr.. Frank Taft's
performances on the pipe organ. Mr.. Taft
is a young man of probably p years. The
clever arrangement of his program is what
first attracted attention. The first num-
Der from Batiste. the fifth from Bach, the
eighth from Mendelssohn, and the Was-
merriam, give it weight. With these are in
terspersed lighter pieces, not severely clas-
steal
The program opened with "Offertoire de
Ste. Cecile"-Batiste and the standard OF
excellence displayed in its execution was
not surpassed by Mr.. Taft in any of the
following numbers.
Nearly all the music onthe program was
familiar to the audience in orchestral or
piano forte arrangements and nowhere did
this add greater charm TO the perform
ance than in Mozkowskfs ''Serenata,
where the theme was subtly interviewer
with intricate lingering Delibe's pizzicatl
which belonged TO this number was also
rendered artistically.
Mr.. Taft's arrangement of "Old Folks at
Home" was we'll received. Next and one
of the most exquisite renderings of the
evening was that unique musical nara
ton by Gownod, Funeral March OF a
Marionette." The Grand Toccata in F.
by John Sebastian Bach, who was the
prince of organists himself, was technically
the most difficult piece, but was not with
out its charms and beautiful effects to I'M
classical ears. The audience by its ap-
plause showed its pleasure at the per
formers own arrangement and mastery

program tomorrow, Friday, evening.
