THG 0. or. OUTING
NEXT THURSDAY PROMISES TO BE AN IL
MENSE AFFAIR.
All the City and NSighborhOod Lodges to Take
Pari-Some Rare Musical Instruments
TO be Used in the Concert.

The Odd Fellows outing, which is to
come eff next Thursday, promises to be
one Of the most successful and pleasing
events of the season.
The general Committee of all the
Lodges meeting in the city, who have
the affair in charge, met at I. o. O. 3.
Hall last night, ana much interest was
manifested in the success of the event.
The Committee on Amusements, Messrs.
Deiters, Johnson and Weiss, re-
ported that they had made the
final arrangements with The
Mozart Symphony Club, Of New York,
for the r appearance az the Park Casino
for two performances, matinee and
evening. This company comes to
Wheeling recommended as one OF the
very best musical organizations now
appearing before American audiences.
Some OF the Instruments used are very
rare and ancient aud b ave quite an In
teresting history attached 10 them.
One OF these instruments Is
the Roman Triumphal Truu pet.
This old historic trumpet measures
six feet In length and wasS used
in Rome during the reign of Julius
Cesar, Nero, etc, at .triumphal bRnquets
and princely %feasts; also ut the Roman
Coliseum aud for the victory OF a glad
iator at the amphitheatre; by the old
Germans and Tsutons as a victory call,
as it was also at knightly tournaments.
TAr old Germans on such occasions
used it accompanied with a
drum; also as q signal for
victory. Heralds blew it to welcome the
approach OF prices, and in parades and
professions where much pomp was re-
quired. The German cavalry are the
only ones who use it as a signal in the
army at the present time. Emperor
William II. has now brought this his
toric trumpet into use, the cavalry
trumpeter playing the KAISER Gruss'
at all court festivities. Here Theodore
Houck is complete master OF this won
derful instrument, and the "EmperOr's
Greeting" will be one Of the numbers on
the programme. 1t is through an in
genious invention of Herr Houch, that
modern compositions on this instrument
will be brought before the public, and
he Is now the only performer, who ap-
pears in public, playing this instru-
ment.
The Viola d'Armour is another in
strumeat used by the company. 1t
has fourteen strings, similar TO the
viola in theory, but far more expressive
in power of tone. When listening to it
a person at times gets the impression
OF a complete orchestral ensemble.
Seven OF the strings only are used in
bowling, while the balance are directly
under the original seven, and Vibrate
in unison. The tone must be heard to
be appreciated, and it is claimed to be
superior TO the violincellO in tone. 1t
is the largest instrument held under
the chin, and Herr Stoelzer is the only
soloist al present who plays this instru-
ment before the public.
Not 3 less or more rare musical in
strument is the Viol La GAMBIA. This
rare musical instrument was invented
In the seventeenth century by an Eng
lish prisoner who was granted life and
freedom as q reward for his work. 1t
has six strings, and is between the
~yiolincello aud the viola d'Amour in
size. It's tone is exceedingly expressive

Blodeck, is sure to enchant the nearer,
The workmanship is perfect and the
carving a work OF art.
The Odd Fellows are certainly TO be
congratulated on giving the public a
chance TO hear such rare performers as
these on equally as rare instruments.
The Prima Donna Soprano, Miss Ce-
ella Braems, also ONE highly recon-
mended as possessing a we'll cultivated,
pure soprano voice, which she uses to the
best advantage in her various songs
Mile. Zoe DE Vulli is the contrslto
and slocutionist, and is also a tirst-class
artist, in her line.
The street demonstration from pres
ent indications, will be a rouser. Re-
ports received from the lodges show
that il the weather is favorable there
will be a large turnout from the sur
rounding towns.
