One Of tho pleasant occurrences OF
last evening was tho musical and liter
ary entertainment given at ST. Joseph's
academy Apparently tho musicale
was u prelude 10 the bazaar held Mt
BusDy's hall, for the assembly was HON
ored by tho presence OF the right rover.
and bishop, who entered the music hall
ut Z o'clock, accompanied by Rev.
Father Joseph Stengcr, OF Charleston,
and the clergy OF the cathedral.
For many years the academy has
held Il foremost rank among Weddings
educational institutions, and tho rendi-
ton OF yesterday evenings programme
was such that all who have an interest
in the school may reasonably feel proud
OF the advancement made by the pupils
during the first quarter OF the SCHOOL
astic year. AS regards music the Stuff
gardt method is taught, and the pro.
ticiency requiredoi scholar before she
is permitted to perform publicly gives n
special attractivencss to a quarterly or
scinl.annun! Solrcc.
An instrumental Duet by Misses
Tonic Schaier and Della McFadden was
the opening Of the programme. The
low, yet distinct, voice OF Miss Mary
Reilly was particularly pleasing in the
reading oil the selection, Lines 10 ST.
Cecilia" An instrumental solo, "Rust-
ling Leaves" by Miss Margaret Jcpson,
was exccllcntly executed, and the youth
full performer deserves great praise for
having mastered so difficult compost
ton. To Miss Katie Cameron those
present were indebted for the enjoyable
piano solo, "Valse do Concert" while
the pleasure afforded by bright cxccu-
ton was enhanced by the young lady's
bright face and animated manner.
Thinking" vocal solo by Miss
Margaret O'Kane, was highly appre-
ciated. Her voice, 4 mcZzo soprano, is
sweet and FULL and when through sing
ing the lovely ballad, the audience were
thinking that Miss Margaret bids fair
to become iavoritc. c. Bohm's vocal
solo, "My ALL" by Lottic Nelson,
pleased everyone. Her clear soprano
was impressive OF deep feeling. and she
will in time attain high degree OF
culture. Autumn" composition by
Miss Della McEaddcn, is worthy OF
notice. Miss Kutic Gathers vocal solo
was . Grc feature OF the evenings re-
hearsal. The authors idea OF the
"Lost Chord" was clearly conveyed to
the listeners, rs the rich contralto of
Miss Gather filled the hall with melody.
In the musical world the namo OF
Sullivan, the composer, has become
immortalized by his successful in
gcnuity in producing the most har-
monious chords in what TO an unculti-
waited ear sounds discordant. Schulz
hoit's "Ealsc Brillantc" Top o., piano
solo by Miss Tenie Schaier, was 4
splendid achievement, and the young
| lady may Justly acknowledge the praise
merited by her talent and industry.
Often have the songs composed by
Rev. j. B. Bauer been heard and en-
joyed at the academy, but it is mostly
in the sacred music that the lofty con.
ception OF the gifted cleric is clearly
defined and beautifully expressed. His
trio, sung by Misses Susie Rcistcr, Lot
tie Warehouse and Katie Gather, was
a rare treat, and as the notes OF the
hymn rose and fell in perfect harmony
all hearts responded to the inspiration
which had given such beauty and pa,
thos to the salutation. Gave Maria"

tainmcnt, and the entire performance
gave unmistakle evidence that no labor
is spared TO cultivate the pupils in the
refined studies OF an academic educa-
ton. The success which attended the
young ladies' efforts will give new i'm.
petus to the high-souled emulation and
laudable ambition always so necessary
