Other News Notes.

A we'll pleased audience in the jack
son Street Baptist church last evening
listened to the farewell concert Of the
American quartette, which is about to
begin tour of England and Wales un-
der the direction OF Professor Haydn
Evans. The programme of ten num-
bers was enlarged by Miss Julia Allen,
the violinist OF the party, who, by re-
qnest, played Welsh air with much
Effect This, with the addition of sew
eral encore numbers. completed an
evenings entertainment that was care
fully varied and highly appre ciated.
Miss Cordelia Freeman, the contralto
OF the party. was warmly greeted by
friends, who knew her as the daughter
of Rev d. X. Freeman, former pastor
of the Wash6urn Street Presby terian
church. Her voice evinces much cul-
tivation, hut il rather on the order of a
mezzo-soprano. She sang with excel
lent effect Mrs Torry's "Waiting
Heart" with violin obligato by Miss
Allen. 1t was in the duet with Miss
Kaiser that Miss Freeman's voice was
heard to best advantage The number
was Abt's Harp of the Winds, &"
and its blending of soprano
and contralto effects was excep-
tionally felicitous Miss Kaiser's sing
ing of Bishops Hear the Gentle Lark"
gave this gifted soprano abundant op-
rortunity to display the resources of
her voice. A particularly noticeable
feature was its volume and register.
Miss Kaiser's enuncialion was excep-
tionally clear and her trills and runs
true and we'll modulated. Mr.. Burns
and Mr.. Anyl, always favorites in this
city. were in superb voice, and the VIC.
lin playing of Miss Allen has seldom
been heard to such advantage
The party this morning will take
train for New York. They will make
the outward voyage in the stancb In
man liner, City of Berlin, Captain
Watkins. The concert tour will be
initiated at Cardiff and continue six
weeks, including the principal cities in
Wales and possibly several in England.

tribute letters to The TRIBUNE de-

Judge CLUSTERS opinion virtually

gst yesterday. IF it is legal to sell
soda on the Sabbath as an accompani-

prevent us from selling on Sunday and

is an easy matter to furnish lunch.
"B.fore next Sunday you will see a
lunch table in that bay window. Sus-
pended above that lunch table will be

be lunch. For 8 cents you can have
all that lunch you care to eat and a

This plan of meeting the peculiar

ing intoxicants has lived in Boston and

local druggist states that it is not so
much to evade the law as to show up
its absurdities, that he is starting a
lunch counter as an adjunct to his
soda water fouatain.
