MUSIC FOR CHARITY.
Musicale for st. Luke's Hospital
at Mrs. Merriam's Resi-
dence.
Function at the Same
Time.

The musical given by Mrs. John l..
Merriam last evening for the benefit of
st. Luke's hospital was notable musical
event and social function as well. No
house in town is better adapted for the
accommodation of large audience than
Col. Merriam's handsome home. and
the 800 people who were there last night
seemed not at all too large crowd. The
grand piano was placed in the main
hall, and chairs we're arranged in the
drawing rooms. The Hecker chill
dren made their first appearance
in st. Paul, and were heartily
received. Their playing is remarkable,
not only for children of their ages. but
for musicians of any age, and their
power of remembering accurately long
and difficult compositions truly mar
Vicious. They play with spirit and
boldness seldom heard in young must
clans. Miss Gordon sang as Miss Cor
don always sings, exquisiteIy, and
Franklyn Lee was enthusiastically re-
ceived. There were no encores. The
programme follows:
