SAINT PAUL.
A SPLENDID COURSE

Arranged for Its Second Ser es by
the Peoples Church Lyceum.
The management of the "lyceum
course" inaugurated at the Peoples
church last fall, has lately secured sew
eral additional attractions, and the
course now presents one OF the strong
est series which has ever been brough
to this city. On Feb. George KEENAN,
will lecture on mountains and Mount
aineers of the Caucasus" a subject
which he did not treat a year ago and
which he regards as one Of his best
lectures. The remarkable success
which attended Mr.. KEENAN, last year
bids fair to be even surpassed this sea-
son. He has lectured continually al
most every evening since Oct. Is.
crowded audiences greeting him every
where.
On Feb. 9. 10, Is and IA Henry w. Ra-
gan will deliver a series of illustrated
lectures. Subjects, "A Trip to Alaska"
The Heart of America" THE Rhine
and Switzerland" and ''In Mexico with
a Camera" These lectures have never
been given in st. Paul. Mr.. Raglan is,
however, already well and favorably
known, this being his fourth season
here. He is graduate of Tale college,
traveller Of wide experience and close
observation, and a most forcible and
fluent speaker.
On Feb. II the famous Lutheran Sex
tette, from Stockholm, Sweden, will APP
pear. For eight years the membership
has remained unchanged, and the sex
tette has reached degree of perfectian
in ensemble singing Which has gained
for them the highest commentator
from European cities, and in this, their
first American tour, they have continu-
ally added to their laurels.
On March IL will occur what will
probably be regarded as the greatest
musical event of the season the APP
pearance of Herr Xaver Scharwenka, of
Berlin, the celebrated pianist and COM
poser, assisted by full orchestra. Herr
Scharwenka gave his first concert in
this country at the Metropolitan opera
house, of New York, last Friday even
ing. He is regarded by musicians as
second only to Rubenstein, and the adj
vance sale for this concert is said to have
been something phenomenal, far ex-
ceeding that of SaraSate and D'Albert
a year ago.
The eighth entertainment will be a
concert to be given by the Glee and
Banjo Clubs of the University of Wis
consin, which is one of the finest organ
iZationS of its kind in the country. This
concert will occur about the first of
April.
The last event of the course will be
the appearance of the Ovid Musin Con-
cert company May 10. He is considered
one of the greatest living violiniSts, and
was accorded a most hearty AID enthu-
'siaStic reception on the occasion of his
first appearance in st. Paul year ago.
This concert will be fitting close OF a
series of entertainments, every one Of
which is of exceptional merit.
Something new is to be offered In con-
nectiOn with this course which was de-
yised especially for it, and which marks
a distinct advance in its line. 1t is a
coupon ticket which will be sold at a
considerable reduction compared with
the price of single seats. each coupon
being eXchangeabie for reserved seat
to any entertainment of the series, at
the option of the holder. He is thus ell
abled to go from time to time to only
that which he specially wishes to hear.
or that he finds it most convenient to at
tend, and it allows him to obtain as
many or as few seats for each event as
it occurs as may be desired. The old
plan of course ticket" which gives but
one seat and compels attendance at
every entertainment, is entirely done
away with.
