OILED WITH PLEASANT WORDS
SpicPd and Seasoned to Suit Fas
tidiOus Tastes.

That the concert, under the auspices
of the ladies Of the Episcopal church,
Wednesday evening, was a financial
aud artistic success, is pleasing fact to
npte. Not only are the management,
the society, and the entertainers to be
complimented, but the attendants also
are to be congratulated on the enjoy
ment the evening afforded.
The announcement of the object,
Vas, in itself, sufficient attraction 10
draw large aud fashionable audience.
aud that supplemented by the promise
afforded by carefully selected program
to be interpreted by the most gifted of
s llen's amateurs, completely filed the
opera house. The two weeks Of prepa.
ition for the occasion were happily
utilized by the capable managers, to
Lave no step untaken toward the ulti-
matum. of complete satisfaction and the
result of Mesdames Berry, Patton and
Whales efforts, fairly crowned their in
telligent and unhagging endeavors.
To happily avoid friction, provide
gainst lapses, and reconcile disap-
pDintment with careful pre-arrange-
ment, requires high order of compre-
hension and executive ability, and
Is constituting feature to the ultimate
success. The burden was borne chiefly
by the lady manager, Mrs. I.W. Berry,
who arranged the program, originated
two of the tableaux, and hardly rested
moment from the inception of he
project until the final fall of the cur
tain.
The pianist of the evening, Prof. w,
HI. Greene, had the first number of the
evening. aud his admirably rendered
selection was enthusiastically encored,
as also, was the twelfth; and to both
he responded with brilliant solos.
Mrs. Halle Hinges sang Streletzkie'
beautiful aria, "Dreaming," and grace
fully responded to the inevita BILE de-
mand for temperance, with the sweet
old.time ballad, of "Ben Bolt" awak-
ening in the memories of the elders
among the audience, the echoes of the
strains OF forty years ago. There are
not many In the professional pursuit,
Who excel Mrs. Hinges, in the charm
log quality of voice, or who are pos
ssssed of superior musical ability, unit
Ell with intelligent training and sym
pathetic appreciation Of divine har-
mony.
Master Earl Sharp, the "infant phen.
omenon' of Salem's pride, gave yio-
lin solo, la a most decidedly mastery
manner, and in the second part of the
entertainment fairly convulsed his au.
