AN EVENING OF MUSIC.

Pleasant Informal Concert BY the MOZART
En-. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Nuptial.
at Calvary Church-socicty just Before
the Lsnten Curtain Falls.
TME Mozart Clubs annual Ballad Con-
cert was given at Old City Hall last evcnin:
in the presence OF the large and well.pleased
audience that forms a constant feature OF
this clubs public functions. burned-out
electric fuse that left the platform and CEN
trail portion of the. hail in semi-darkness
succeeded in making it well-nigh impossi.
Bile for the chorus to read the words and
l musician obstacle that would have com.
pletely upset any less reliable body Of sing
ers. The novelty of the programme, q finely
written anthem, "God Is My Helper" by
Mrs. Kate Ockleston- Lippa, of Allegheny,
suffered most from this cause. However,
there were passages in the new work in
which, MS in the two other choral pieces
"Daybreak." by Faning. and Ethebert
Neyin's lovely lullaby, "Wynken. Blynken
Nod"-the chorus sang with Its old time
| effectiveness.
Among the various solo numbers that
in which Mrs. Emma Bingler Wolfe made
her erreappearance upon thelocal concert stage
was, probably, the center of interest to most
of the audience. Mrs. Wolfe's charming
singing earned and received hearty encore.
| The very effective performance OF Mr. S. s.
| ANDERSON was another prominent feature
that met with a warm reception: Miss Ella
| Semple'S rendition of three bright little
solos of Mr.. H. B. Brockett Jr., Mr.. D. NJ.
Bullock and Mr.. Ed. Edatrom; the dnet
by Miss Irene Sample and Mr.; John Horner,
Voices, rounded out i an % all too brief evening
OF musical enjoyment.
! Mr.. CARL WILHELM, Of the Commercial
Gazette, was married last night to Miss Jane
Mason, daughter of F. Mason, Esq, the cere-
mony taking place in Calvary Church and
being followed by a reception in Mr. Mason's
house In Ivy street, East End. The chancel
was filled. with palms and. exotics in
which the wedding party arranged them
selves, with the ushers standing in a row
| against the bac kground of green, che bride
maids in front Of them, and at the chancel
feature Of the wedding was the Joining of
eession Nr Wilhelm '"s walked Msa''nT ap the the
and mother and the family occupy
ing the front pews. In the bridal party
were: Bridemaids, Miss Gertrude HALEY,
Miss Annie Werner: Maid Idol Of Honor, Miss %
Camp: Page, Master Ralph Camp;
IT, HseH sseRey mn Mr. JOAN cnss
rowh. Mr.. Frank klieber and Mr.. Joseph
| Mason. Preceding the bride and groom
came the two little Camp children strewing

BY the psws' door eagerly seized them
There is pleasant superstition that the
blossom brings certain kind of good luck
to the young woman who OBJ aims one. The
bride wore handsome heavy corded silk
train; the veil afterward being removed
from her face as she returned from the al
tar. Her bouquet WAS formed solely of
bride roses. The maids all wore similar
MI Nf h -s-.y l~I-
fashion, with ribbon fastened at the neck,
the ends of which mingled in the folds of
the skirts. The little page and his sis
ter were in white Cashmere, the little girl
being a particularly fascinating small tot,
who did her duty in strewing the spring
flowers with the gravity Of so years. Tne
have its very romantic side. Mr.. Wilhelm
is young German OF good family, who on
his side of the ocean would be permitted to
wear title. In newspaper circles his liter.
he seems to have future that many a col
laborateur would do we'll to emulate.
ACTORS not infrequently become absorbed
during their leisure in matters often in no
way connected with their histrionic work.
For instance, Joe Jefferson always spends
his off times at his beloved etching; Kate
Castleton studies dressmaking: Felix Morris
paints, and Mr.. Miriam Bruce u member of
the Charity Ball Company, is somewhat Of
an inventor himself. He is preparing to in
troduce to the public an electricsl store
revofutionize the cash system and the rapid
carriage OF mail to suburban towns.
THE impersonation of the Peake Sisters
by the Bishop Whitehead Circle of the
Kings Daughters at Emanuel Church last
night was the personidcation,o of humor, and
evoked hearty plaudits from friends. A
h4d Tat rpd ofl
compliment to the party of young girls and
the bread thus kindly cast upon the waters
soon returned in the form OF a thoroughly
pleasure giving entertainments. The even
ing was supplementary to an afternoon fair
held in the parish building for the purpose
OF raising money to obtain new carpet for
the church. Both entertainments were sue
cessful. Shrove Tuesday was equally well
observed all over the city.
JOSEPHINE Gro, young New York
woman, is rapidly gaining welI-deserved
reputation as a compose: of bright, spark
ling music. Mrs. Gro has marked ability,
not only as a composer of music, but also as
q song writer, the "Grasshopper Dance" in
"I4a CiSale" attracting great deal of atten-
ton as well as the song entitled with Sly
sung by Lillian Russell. Two of her pieces,
"Kitty's CATCH and "Little Defenders
March" are very popular. The last named.
under the title OF 'La Promenade" was played
has been adopted in many OF the New York
public schools as O children's march.
"Mothers Lullaby and la Hazelle" are
both exceedingly charming productions
Gilmore and Cappa frequently introduce
Mrs Gro's music in their programmes. She
is young American of nIuch promise, who
will yet win great recognition through her
capacity for faithful, pninstaking work, to
say nothing Of the superiority of her intel
lectual endowments
THE objectionable sin of the next six
weeks in society will be the practicing of a
gayety that may be found out. You are |
permitted to enjoy yourself just as much US |
ever you like-with all the freedom of a |
mouse when the cats away; but don't let the |
cat ca tch you. Society will never forgive !
the lack of the outward visible sign, though !
it is not likely to display much concern over |
the absence OF the IN ward spiritual grace.
TO-DAY ushers in season of comparative !
social quietness, excepting in the libraries
where the fair students betake themselves to
books with a devotion greater than is their
won't. Twenty-Five new members are re-
ported at the Pittsburg library Tor the month
ofJanuary, and l6 additional for February;
a very encouraging state of things. and one
whicn it is to be hoped the remainder OF the
year may emulate. The devotion which has
been given to that library is surely soon
