The Original Tenneseeans " Concert
Troupe gave a sacred concert at the Meth
odist church Sunday evening. Although
no notice of 1t was given out at the morning
service, as the arrangements were not then
made, the house was well filed. A strik-
ing feature of the evening was the testimo-
MES given by several members OF the
troupe, as, in spirit Of fervor and enthu-
siasm, they related their religious expe-
rience
A good audience was present at the Con-
gregational church. Saturday evening, TO
listen to the Original Tennesseeans."
The entertainment seemed to give general
satisfaction. While their voices were not
as cultivated nor their singing as artis-
tic as that of the Fisk University troupe,
they were truer to nature and better repre-
scented the music heard on Southern planta-
tons. A startling but not unacceptable
innovation in the concert was the religious
talk by Miss Pinkie Johnson, the leader of
the troupe.
DIR. Wheelock gave the public " free
lunch " on Friday. The menu consisted of
teeth extracted without pain and without
price. During the day over one hundred
teeth were taken out for different persons,
by the application of new anRsthetic, and
in nearly every case the doctor was assured
that no pain was felt. He has purchased
the excl .sive right to use this an9sthetic
in Waterbury and in his practice. He says
it is free from cocaine or any injurious
drug, and causes no after trouble.
