Schubert Club Song Recitai-Con-
certs Last Night.

Interest is being expressed in the
song recital of George w. Ferguson,
to be given at Conover hall, under the
auspices of the Schubert club, next
Monday evening. MIR. FERGUSON has
rapidly sprung into popular favor, and
has been creating a sensation in the
East He is said to have versatility,
and whether heard in arias or in bal
lads, is equally successfully and in
teresting. He will be assisted on Mon
day evening by Miss Katherine Jewell
Everts, whose talent, as well as her
lovely personality, makes friends for
her. This will be her last appearance
in st. Paul for a long time, as she
goes East to continue her studies a
few days after the concert. 1t is ex-
pected that a large audience will be
present to encourage the ladies of the
Schubert club in their efforts to give
st. Paul a series of high-class enter
tainments, as well as to give them
selves the pleasure and culture that
comes from listening to such an enter
tainment.
The Epworth League of the Central
Park M. E. Church gave very sue
cessful and entertaining musicale at
the church last evening. The. large
audience room was well filled with ap-
preciative and enthusiastic listeners
who generously applauded the per-
formers, each of whom responded to
one or two encores. The Apollo quar-
tette was in attendance and contrib
uted greatly to the pleasure of the
evening with several selections.
Miss Jessie Turner, the soprano, was
at her best, and rendered two solos in
a most effective manner, while Albert
Simpsons mandolin playing was of a
particularly high order.
Mrs. j. A. Stemen, the elocutionist,
excited the risibilities of the audience
with several comic readings, and Jason
Waite closed the programme with a
very creditable Interpretation of one
of Webers piano solos, The proceeds
of last nights entertainment will be
donated to the general church fund by
the members of the Epworth league,
who feel we'll repaid for their efforts
leading to so successful an entertain
ment, by the snug sum realized for the
benefit of the church.

cert that the choir of the Church of the
