A Successful Entertainment

The citizens of Elkton are Indebted to
the Kings Daughters of the Elkton
Pres byterian Church for an unusually
enjoyable musical and literary entertain
ment given under their auspices. at Odd
Fellows Hall on Wednesday evening.
The programme was an admirable one,
aud the sympathies of the large audience
were clearly with the participants in it,
their approval being shown by the sue.
cessive encores of the evening. The
opening number of the programme was a
very artistically executed series of selec-
ticns for the piano rendered by Miss
Miriam Armstrong. followed by Mrs.
Wevill OF Philadelphia, whose sweet and
cultured voice has before delighted Elk
ton audiences Miss Bessie SCOTS Fan
TASTE bright and sparkling. was bril-
liautly rendered, showing to fine advan-
tage her proficiency as piauiste. Miss
Mary Cannon s rendition of two mum bers
with eucores, fully sustained her repu
tation as an accomplished vocalist, the
ease and lack OF effort with which she
reached her highest reg lister, eviucing the
results of assiduous vocal cultivation.
As an elocutioulst, Miss Imogene Chaud
Ter reaped fresh laurels i'll a field, from
which she has i'll the past Culled many
bouquets. 1t is enough TO say OF her,
that she was at her best on "Wednesday
evening. AS for the gentlemen, Mr.. J.
B. Myers was simply immense as a
lyric humorist. He couquers his audi
ence before he opens bis mouth, and
hen he issues his notes." they are the
genuine tones OF rich baritone. Isn't
he lovely and funny said an exquisite
Miss in his audience. We could not
truthfully contradict her, Tor i'll humorous
lines he is inimitabIe. The college boys

A Beautiful Custom.

One OF the most interesting and beautl-
fnl of religious feasts was celebrated in the
Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe yester-
day, says the San Francisco Chronicle. 1t
was in honor of the patron saint of Mexico.
and drew thousands Of the population of
that nationality to the sacred editice in
which they worship on Broadway. 1t was
a festival of roses. and innumerable fra
grant blossoms adorned the building in
every part. They hung in long draperies
from the high dome. were entwined in the
pillsrs of the altar, were interviewer among
the glistening embellishments of the sane
tuary and each lighted shrine. Hundreds
of worshipers laid before the altar of the
Virgin boquets and baskets of the pretty
flowers to add their colors and perfume to
the beauty of the scene.
The story from which the festival of roses
takes it's inspiration is on of the most TO-
mantio in the history of Mexico. Years
ago an aged and infirm Indian was on a
dreary journey on the plain. At night the
Virgin appeared to him in a vision and
commanded him to order the bishop of
the diocese to build a great church in her
honor. He did as told, but the bishop was
~incredulous. His heavenly visitor appeared
again. repeated her command, and told the
old man she would send with him an evil
dence of her power. When he should
stand again before the bishop he was to
open his mantle. He retraced his steps,
told once more his tnle and dropped his
mantle from his shoulders. With it dropped
hundreds of fragrant roses. Still the
bishop would not believe, and for the last
time the Virgin bade the Indian go before
the ~prelate. He did 80, and on his mantle
was figured the form and features of her
who commanded him. The church was
built. Inc the mantle, with it's strange pio-
ture not made by human hands, rests
within it, its most precious relic.
That is why SO many devotees brought
their beautiful blossoms Yesterday. 1t was
why the church was decorated as only for
the greatest of festivals, why golden orna-
ments and silken cloths and robes were
used for the most solemn OF Catholic SER
vices. At 10 o'clock solemn high mass was
celebrated. The music was more thar or
dinarily elaborate. The singers were anon
the best known in the city, and there was
an orchestra of stringed instruments and a
programme that included Rossi, Mozart,
Arillaga, Palestrina and Rossini. One of
the most impressive elements of the service
was the playing of the harpest, Miss Hi
dalgo. and J. q. Morrissey's rendition OF
the Benedictus. The sermon was delivered
by the pastor, Rev. Antonio Sanlandreu
At night there we're solemn high vesperf
and the benediction. During the evening
service a procession of girls, robod in white
moved among the aisles strewing the per
fumed blossoms that formed so conspicu
Gus a part in the festival.

VENUS REDIyIvA,

"Wot I like in that ERE style Of
writin'," said the elder Mr.. Weller, as he

nothin' O. that kind. Wots the good o.

lation OF the kind admits him, as 1t
were, a little further into the mind
chambers Of those he most admires.
Mr.. Weller is a historical character. So
is Mrs. Mackay. Mr.. Weller objected to
Wenuses. Mrs. Mackay shares his an
|tipathy. Mr.. Weller based his objec-
tions, like the practical stage driver lie
was, on purely utilitarian grounds.
"Wot's tho goodsn Mrs. Mackay's rea-

that are purely aesthetic, and thereby
hangs a tale.
All the world and his wife know that
Mrs. Mackay honored the painter Meis-
sonier with a commission for her picture.
Into her OBJECTS it is not necessary to
enter at any length. Old families OF
other countries preserve among their
choicest heirlooms the portraits Of their
ancestors from the easels Of Vandyke,
Rubens and Sir Joshua Reynolds. Why
should not the smile Of Mrs. Maclkay
beam upon her descendants in future
ages, and serve to recall to the anti
quarian that there was once Il French
artist who, in addition to the production
of minor works like "lS14," had the
honor Of sittings from Mrs. Mackay?
II such was the lady's charitable mo-
tive, surely no n will be prepared to
gainsay her. Everybody further knows
that, when the messenger boy came home
with the picture, it did not meet with
the approval Of it's subject. Perhaps,
there We're too many wrinkles in the
basque; perhaps, the complexion was
not pink and white enough i; perhaps,
the family diamonds did not shine with
luster. At any rate, Mrs.
Mackay was ~displeased, expressed her
dissatisfaction, and forthwith all those
giddy Parisians went into a delirium OF
laughter, because a California lady
the work OF a French artist,
whom they believed a master. Surely,
if Mrs. Mackay paid for the picture, she
had an American right to dictate the
fixings. But after some stormy recrim-
nations the picture was accepted. Such
amiable weakness was not a character
istic of the lady, and at last she has re-
iieved the minds of her friends by an

A DEED transferring a part Of the A.
T. Stewart estate, which was filed in the
registry office in New York the other
day, covered ninety-five large parchment
sheets and weighed five pounds. 1t is
such a complicated and wordy instru-
ment that its provisions are beyond the
comprehension Of everybody except able
lawyers. The document is a strong
argument in favor Of the Australian
system Of transferring property under
which a certificate of title is given by
the state which is as simple as a govern

PRESIDENT HARRISON was right in
telling the people of the United States,
in his message to congress, all that had
happened in the negotiations with Chill.
The English newspapers, in accusing
him of violating diplomatic etiquette,
are judging him by standards to which
we do not hold in this country. In
Europe the people are the foot balls for
professional diplomats. We have no
such profession as diplomacy in this
country and we ought to be thankful
for it. Our people expect to have a
chance to express opinions On all foreign
complications that may arise and they
like the straightforwardness that Presi-
dent Harrison has shown.
