MR.. AND MRA 1Av1lps SUCCESS.
They Were the Stars of the Music
Festival at Binghnmton, N. ".


Mr.. AMI Mrs. LAWN were two of the So
loists in the music festival at Binghamton,
N. Y, last week, and were the two stars of
the occasion, as will be seen by the follow
ing from the Bnghamton Daily Republic
can: "Mrs. Howe-Lavn is woman of de-
lightful presence, blond and a decided
beauty. OF her voice it is difficult to say
too much in the way of praise. Her first
selection last night was Verdi's Caro- No
mo- from Rigoletto. From the first note
to the last Mrs. LAWN held her audience
enthralled, and as the last glorious note
died away deafening roar of applause
went up. Again and again the fair So
prano bowed her appreciation of the com
pliment bestowed upon her, but was final
ly compelled to accede to the encore. Mrs.
LAWNS voice is of singular purity and
sweetness, well rounded and of extraordi-
nary register. Her high notes last night
were marvellous, not alone for the ease
with which they were sung, but also for
their purity and faultlessness. Mrs. La
win is beyond all question one of the best
sopranos now on the concert platform.
"AIr. LAWN was heard to great advan-
tage on Thursday, but his work yesterday
was really superb. No better tenor has
ever been heard in this city. Beautiful is
the adjective that can most readily be appli-
ed to Mr.. LAWNS voice. Whether it be in
the piano or fortissmo passages, it is the
same sweet, pure voice, of great compass,
pure and so nearly faultless it is impossible
to make the slightest adverse criticism.
His first selection last night was the solo
from Tulsa Miller, by Verdi, which he fol-
lowed with Gohms charming Tell her
love her So A duo from Don Pasquale,
sung by Mr. and Mrs. LAWN, was rendered
in most captivating manner, and scored
an encore.
'In the second part there was such be-
wildering feast Of good things, it would be
difficult to say which was the better the
the other. Perhaps, if any choice were
made, it would fall on a soprano solo given
by Mrs LAWN, with flute obligato by Mr..
Thomas Bauchman. This was distinctly
one of the gems in a rich setting of jewels
of song"

lished at Belize, British Honduras. re-
ceived here by mail to-day, contains a
long account of labor riot which took
place there OH the 10Th inst.
1he men engaged in mahogany and
logwood cutting demanded higher wages
than the merchants were inclined to pay.
and having failed TO obtain relief by ap-
pllcatlon to the authorities, they became
eXasperated and began TO wreck The stores
OF their employers. When the mob
reached Multrie's store it was confronted
by the clerks armed with revolvers.
They fired over the heads OF the mob, and
wounded man and a woman. The mob
then rushed into Cramer's store and car
rled on large number of watches.
several persons were slightly bruised by
being struck with clubs.
From about $50 O'Clock until 5 O'Clock
the town was at the mercy of the mob,
All the Constabulary could do was TO
take into custody and confine in the police
station man whom they looked upon as
rlngleader.
The rioters then turned their attention
TO the police station. The windows were
broken, and the attitude OF the mob was
so threatening that the prisoner was re-
leased. a lew minutes before O'Clock
1orty blue jackets and three files of ma
rInes were landed, and marched to the
courthouse wharf. On the blue Jackets
being drawn up in front of the police
statlon, all signs of disorder ceased.

addressed few remarks to the crowd,
urging them to diSperSe. The mob
nhaIly melted away before the sailors.
