BERT BALDWIN was terribly burned with
blasting powder at Sodom last Thursday.
He was pouring powder into hole that had
been drilled, when, in some unexplained
manner, the ten-pound can he held in his
hands exploded. Mr.. Baldwin was thrown
into the air and fell fifteen feet on pile of
granite. He was badly cut and bruised and
frightfully burned about the face, neck,
arms and back. He had the presence of
mind to close his eyes, thus saving his eye
sight. Dr. u. X. Chandler, his attending
physician, is confident that he will recover.

THE concert given in Blanchard opera
house last Friday evening under the aus
pices of the Apollo Club, by the Haywood
Jordan Company, was a success, although
the audience was not large. The instrH-
mental numbers were played with tuneful
skill. Victor Irving Da Prato, the young
violinist, Is very clever performer and was
prime favorite with the audience. Miss
Helen Parepa, the prima-donna, sang with
depth of feeling that caught the attention
and won the admiration of her audience.
She is mistress of her splendid voice, and
every note of her singing indicated culture.
Miss Lucie K. Mawson stands in the frent
rank of pianists and the playing of her Sc
lections was marked by smoothness and
delicacy that denoted no ordinary ability.
Signor Eduardo Visini, the italian baritone,
is vocalist OF great power, and possessed
of charming voice; but Julian Jordan, the
vocalist and composer, was something of a
disappointment. The performers gener-
ously responded to numerous encores, and
the programme was varied to meet the
tastes of all
