the number that returned from the
Babylonish captivity. Further, the

rains" which had been withheld
since the times Of the exile, lad

two years, and everything seemed to
show that the land was being pre-
pared for the return Of the Jews to
their promised inheritance.

have been had a longer announcement OF

made. This is to be regretted, for the
concert was one Of the real merit and
deserved a much larger audience. I'm
fortunately too, the use of a piano coult
not be secured and there was
great disappointment in not being ablt
to hear Miss Bruce, one of the finest plan
lists in the state. The absence of tho
piano caused an entire change of pro.
gram.
The reading and r~ecitations of Miss
King showed Il perfection in the Delsarl
system that surprised even those vino
knew of this young lady's rapid advance.
In elocution. In posture and gesticula.
ton Miss King is as near perfection as
teaching and drilling can attain, and the
contrast between her work and that OF
other clocutionists who have from time
to time appeared at the o%pera-house was
most marked. Miss Goodykoontz com
pletely captivated the audience by hel
sweet singing. Her voice is marvelously
sweet and shows long and careful train.

in one or two more selections, as they
would also Miss King. Miss Bruce die
what she could with an organ, but there
is no music in one OF those blamed
things.
