PEELED to look the second time to
discover whether the sweet uotss
were produced by the voice Of Miss
Jacobs or came from some hidden
flute. Miss Jacobs is from CharI-
eston, and sang for West Virginia at
the Worlds Fair. She was heartily

Miss Mabel Heatherington gave
an instrumental solo on the piano:
AS she gently and sweelIy touched
the keys Of her favorite instrument,
We could not but think of what
Carlyle says: sThat music leads us
up to the edge of the Infinite and
lets US gaze at that for a moment
Miss Heatherington is an adopted
daughter of our busting town and
all are proud of her.
This time Mrs. Eagle appeared
by Zelica and Aim, taken
from Lalla Rookh, filled all with
delight.
The post of honor was assigned
Miss Mary HeaIy. A storm of APP
plause welcomed her. We have all
heard the sylvan warblers and well
did this champion crafty public
expectations as she poured forth.
the sweet notes of Bird Song In
response to an enthusiastic encore,
she sang "Good Night, and all
went away feeling that they were
'.gooder" by having passed the
evening with Emusic and her sister
song"
Miss Hattie Beard, of Gallipolis,
was the accomplished accompanies.
She had a difficult position to fill.
but she met all obstacles and won
for herself victory.
In brief the whole affair was
grand success. The Elks are de
lighted and every body is delighted,
and in the language of Mr.. Menag-
er's address, the "hope is indulged
that this entertainment, tentatively
cast upon the waves of public opin-
ion, may be the means of arousing
the musical literary and dramatic
talent of our city.
During the Elks Entertainment
Miss Jacobs and Miss Beard were
the guests of Judge English; Miss
NorvelI and Miss Healey, the guests
of Col. Smith, and Miss Bancroft
and Miss Beardsley the guests OF
Capt. Armstrong.
The correspondent OF the Charles
ton Nal who was present at the
Elk's entertainment, in this place,
July 10th, thus speaks of one or
two of our home talent:
After a pleasing overture by the
Point Pleasant Cornet Band, the
curtain rose on a handsome interior
stage setting, and Hon. j. B. Men
ager delivered a brief but eloquent,
excellent and entertaining Elk ad-
dress, following which an ambitious
musical and dramatic porgram was
carried out with fine effect. Among
the numbers were a recitation.
"Hagar," given by Miss Rebecca
Barbee-a sometime visitor to Char.
lestou-in which this popular yonDg
lady acquitted herself admirably.
Other members of the program
notably good were, the singing by
Miss TOT" the ten year old danght-
er of Mr.. c. G. Bowyer, of the dainty
little song, "My Lover written by
Mrs. Gibbons, of Mason county
This sweet little girl and her sweet
little song must be seen and heard
to be appreciated, and it is earnest
ly hoped that she may be persuaded
TO appear before a Charleston audi
ence.
Nothing that could contribute in
the smallest degree to the comfort
and pleasure of his guests was neg
lected or forgotten by Mr.. Nat
Bryan, who in his management Of
the Phenix Hotel, is a very prince
of hosts. Early this morning he
personally overlooked the departure
of somewhat tagged out but APP
preciative party of Charlestonians.
