OF Miss Priscilla White. the soprano
soloist who is to appear in the concert,
the Boston Herald says: Miss Priscil /
White has "A soprano voice that is often
compared to that of Miss Eames. But
Emma Eames' voice lacks the warmth
and feeling of life recognized In the
voice of Miss White, while the latter has
all the extended range and all the ease of
execution of the former. Nikisch, with
whom Miss White sang when the Sym
phony orchestra travelled in concert. spoke
of her voice enthusiastically, even going
so far as to say that she was the best
soprano singer he had heard in America.
Miss White is the daughter of minister.
She studied for some years before the
discovery was made that she was the
possessor of a wonderful voice. Her
tones are as clear and sweet as birds.
and as smooth as satin. The quaint
Puritan name of Priscilla White sits well
upon its owner. She has almodest, gentle
personality, and is IL direct descendant
on both sides of her family from "John
Alden and "Prisclla" of history and
story.

The ButcherY Of Two Young Men
Necessary to Preserve the Glori-
Gus Republic Of San Domingo.

PANAMA. March 12.-The Star and
Herald Of March 2 says: A story from
San Domingo coming from good au-
thority says that the two sons of ex-
President Blez had been shot by order
Of President Hsureaux. According to
the story the elder son had previously
been sentenced to imprisonment for
life for plotting to overthrow the ex-
istiug government, aud when the
younger was also discovered TO be i'm
plicated, Heursau1 determined that
both should die.
Soon after the younger's arrest the
president sent word to the Basz family
that the two brothers had need OF two
broadcloth suits. This WAS on Febru
airy 2 The clothes were sent and the
next morning the youths were told to
put the black suits on When they
had complied they were told that the
freedom of the Jail yard was given
them, In the yard was a squad Of sol
iiers, whose bullets speedily put an end
to their lives.
This, it is said, makes twelve martial
executions in the Dominican Republic
in sixty days. Among the twelve was
that of Francis Pidtado, an alleged
dynamiter, brother of the Spanish con-
sui to San Domingo. The consul him.
self was elected from the island with
ont recourse to any Of the diplomatic
formalities.
