tion Of the Bible MAJ ative of the building

Next Monday night Mrs. Fellows's con-
cert will be given at City Hall. We are
glad to know that there has been much
inquiry about tickets and that good
advance sale has been secured. This is
as it should be, fof not only is it right
and proper that lady Of the musical
position of Mrs. Fellows should receive
a substantial recognition, but that such
eminent artists as Hesselberg the pianist,
the Boston Instrumental Club, and
Miss Henrietta Rice should also be greet
ed by large audience. The St. Peters
burg Theatre and Life said of Hesselberg
"At last evenings concert the st. Peters
burg public had the pleasure of hearing
the talented pianist, Mr.. Edouard Hessel-
berg. of whom so much : has been said.
It is only necessary to say OF his work,
that to be able to perform such selec-
lions as he did one must have perfect
technique, all the qualifications of touch
