THE SWEDISH ouAnrErrE.

Teey Gave Another Splendid Concert Last
Night.
small but appreciative audience as
sem bled at the Y. M. G. A. hall last
night to hear tho second concert given
by tho Swedish Male Quartette. The
program presented WAS a nicely varied
one, suiting al tastes, and it was we'll
rendered. The singers composing the
quartette give evidence In all their en-
SEN Bile music of careful, conscientious
training and rehearsal, and each num-
Der rendered by them leaves q pleasant
memory behind.
The first tenor. Mr.. Skoog. has a
sweet voice, Of light timbre. however,
and, througn lack OF chest notes In the
high register unequal to effective work
in heroic and impassioned musis. Mr..
Lsurin, the second tenor, on the con
trary, possesses rich, strong voice,
vibrant with feeling and OF eXquisi O
quality. 1t Is also under good control.
A similar difference exists between
the first bass, Mir. a. E. Skocg, and Mr..
Mcpherson, the second bass. the voics
of the former lacking resonance and
strength, while McPherson's voice pos
sesses those features in an eminent de-
gree.
The most effective numbers OF the
musical program were the trio for two
tenors and bass, "In Old Madrid" sung
by Messrs. Skoog, Laurin and A. e.
Skoog, and bass solo which was mag
nifcently sung by Mr.. MCPHERSON.
Miss Jose Barden. the reciter of the
company, delighted the audience with
her selections. She Ia one of the finest
performers in this line that has appeared
in Roanoke and showed great versatil-
ity.
Miss Vida Skoog accompanied the
soloists on the piano most effectively,
The concert as whole was very fine
and deserved a much larger audience
than it drew.

THE Chicago live stock exchange has
adopted resolutions announcing that
cattle receipts ct the four principal
Western markets 80 far have been 27O,-
600 less than for the same period last
year, and as result prices have ad-
vanced, causing corresponding in
crease in the wholesale price.of dressed
beef. The charges OF conspiracy smong
the large dealers have. the exchange
says. caused a decreased consumption
of beef, resulting in decentralization of
the trade and consequently lower prices
for cattle. The public is therefore re.
quested to withhold Judgment until the
Department OF Agriculture shall have
thoroughly investigated the matter, as
the present agitation has depressed the
whole cattle industry, and the interests
of feeders and shippers all over the
country are placed in jeopardy. This

SENATOR BLACKBURN, Of Kentucky,

thrown down the gauntlet to his oppo-

whom he calls upon to proclaim fully
and without reserve their positions on
the currency question. Secretary Car
Isle is in favor Of sound money on the
basis announced by Mr.. Cleveland in

competitor for the senatorship, the
