THE TORBETT CONCERT.
Successful Musical Entertainment With
Many Encores Missing Performer.


The Seattle theater was well filed last
evening when the Torbett Concert Com
pany made its first appearance before a
Seattle audience. The entire programme
was well received and encores were the
rule instead of the exception. The principal
star of the evening. however, was A.tss
Ollie Torbett, the young violinist, who
has had the honor OF travelling under the
management of Maj. J. p. Pond. from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and who divided
honors with Clara Louise Kellogg for two
seasons. Last evening Miss Torhett was
on the programme for two numbers, but
she was so heartily applauded on eacn
appearance that she responded with en-
cores. First she played an andante move
ment with finale by Mendelssohn, and on
being recalled rendered Down on the
Suwannee River" In the second part of
the concert she played Polka de Con-
cert" by Arditi. and for an encore
Dixie" with variations. Miss Torbett
was at her best in andante movements,
her tones being pure and sweet with what
may be termed IAN appealing quality.
She is graceful, has a pleasing stage pres
ence and won her way to the hearts OF
her hearers from the first bow.
a great deal of the success of the COM
pany Is due TO the fine work of the Lat
temann sextette. which is composed OF II.
Erikson and c. Fronolm, first tenors; {.
Smith, second tenor, T.. Scnlli, llIsl odSs'
and N Lowenmark and G.. kindlundh
second bass They appeared five times.
and were recalled either once or twice
each time. They were especially good In
Swedish student songs. Perhaps the finest
number they sang was Annie Laurie.
with a bass solo, carried by y. Lowen-
mark and G.. Kindlundh. There was es-
peciaIly noticeable at that time a fine
harmonizing OF voices and fine modula-
ton. The tenor solo. serenaGe COM
posed by Gounod. was sung by Mr.. c.
Froholm. He has a pleasing voice in the
middle register, but on the higher notes
there was a noticeable effort, sometimes
almost a break. The advance notices OF
the company stated that Mr.. Rudolf Won
Scarpa. the Vienna pianist. would appear,
but his name was not on the programme,
and the only piano solo was rendered by
Miss Frida de Tersmeden. who was well
received.

A Relief Fund Needed.

As there is no hospital in Pine Bluff where the sick and distressed may be cared for. our people should take steps to raise relief fund, to be placed in the hands of some person, say the Mayor of the city, and by him this money should be expended in aiding those who are destitute and sick in our midst. Not a day passes that the police department is not called upon to render aid to some un- fortunate fellow creature. There is no money set aside by the city to be expended in this manner, and the policemen must give aid from their own salary, or else ignore the cali for charity.
 Last night d colored man, who had been put off a Cotton Belt passenger train, was found by an officer on Third avenue, in a very preearious condition. He had a high fever, and was delirioGs. The man was carried to the office Of the Chief of Police, and then the officer started out to find a colored boarding house where the sick man might be sent to and cured for. His efforts were in vain. Although the officer offered to pay all expenses that the sick man might incur, none of the keepers of the boarding houses would admit the sick stranger and the officer was finally compelled to put him on n pallet in an empty shanty, after haul ing him about the city for nearly two hours. Such a condition of affairs is adisgrace to Pine Bluff.
 There is no people on earth more charitable than those of our city,and they always respond quickly and lib- erally to calls of distress; but the greatest trouble is lack of organi- zation. A fund should be raised and placed in the hands of some person so that in cases Of emergency it can be used.

 Pat Grant was an unfortunate gentleman. His horse got out of his stable and it's owner could not find it after q search Of over day. It was in the city pound aud Mir. Grant was fined $l for allowing it to get there.
 Linda Colquit, the wife of Henry, was the next case brought up. She had row with her mother-in-law and left her home This morning she returned and attempted to take the furniture from the house, when, as she says, her husband choked her. She was fined $3. which Henry paid, as well as his own fine.
