Who They Are.

The Aramenti Concert company,
appearing at the opera house Mon
day night, comes under an absolute
guarantee from the management of
the opera house. 1t is beyond ques-
ton a first class attraction, and Ard
more lovers of music, will have an
opportunity of hearing something
that very seldom towns of this size
are favored with. The only way we
can hope for first class operas, is for
them to be patronized literally. In
this instance, the price for the night
was set by the company, the opera
house management accepted the Of
fer, now it depends on our people as
to whether the management will
loose money or come out whole. OF
the three performers composing the
company, the following sketches are
in order:
Nine. Julia Aramenti is one of our
few American singers who have
made reputation abroad as well as
in this country. She has studied
with the leading teachers, both in
this country and Europe, among
whom are Argramonte, of New York,
and Nianesi of Paris. She has a re-
markably full soprano voice of
dramatic power, wide range, and
great fieXibility.
Miss Celia Schiller, is a pianist of
wonderful power. She is true ar
tist, possessing soul and fire. Her
reputation both in Europe and this
country is of the best.
Mr.. Charles F. Higgins, violin vir
tuoso. This great artist possesses a
most wonderful technique and a
broad sympathetic tone. By his
mastery playing he has won the ad-
miration of the severest critics of
both Europe and America.

Two pretty young women entered a
large mp town grocery une evening last

evident that they belonged to some
boarding school in the neighborhood
and had stolen out for n few moments 10

There's one thing don't like about
the clerks in this store, - said one OF
them, while they waited for the sales
man, ''and that's the way they insist ON
telling you that y0u don't want what
yOu do want and that you do want what
you don't want. Every time come in
here / have the same experience, and
I'm just tired Of il. The next time il
happens I'm going TO tell the clerk just
what / think Of him."
At that moment a clerk approached
and asked the young women what they
wanted. The one who had SO much TO
complain about pointed at one Of a row
of cracker tins and said:
Il want n pound Of those.
"Oh, no, you don't. Z" said the clerk
suavely; lyon want some Of these, or
these here; they re all very nice. -
The young woman threw n glance
which said, What did tell youfr at
her companion, and turning to the clerk
said fiercely:
'No, / don't, anything Of the kind.

to her companion with a look Of triumph
on her face which plainly meant,

Very well. madam" said the clerk
humbiy, "but may 1 ask whether they
are for yourself:"
We'll, of all the impertinent ques-
tions'- began the young woman, when
her companion interrupted. and, turning
to the clerk, said:

'Oh. Lerause they're dog biscuit. Z"
replied tho clerk indifferently. "Still.
Of course, if you want them. you cau
have them.
Never mind. faltered the young
woman who had insisted ON having wi hat
she wanted. Il guess / dou't want any
thing at all, and she strutted ont u
the store looking very much ashamed
and followed by her companion, who
was struggling to hide her laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything. hut
there was a satisfied smile ON his face rs
he banged the cover down ON the can II
dog biscuit and walked away to wait on
another customer. New York Sun.

s. t. Bledsoe yesterday received a
letter from his partner, Hon. W. A.
Ledbetter, now in Washington. Mr..
Bledsoe could not be found last night
by the ARDMoRETTE reporter, hence
any statement from him as to the
contents ofthe letter could hot be had
but from others who had heard the
matter discussed, il was learned that
he wrote rather discouragingly of
the situation. AS we learned il, he
confirmed the report that ex-Judge
Stuart was there working in the
interest Of the Indians and that the
prospects were that such legislation
as we had hoped for was in his judg-
ment very doubtful. He yet hopes
however that provisions will be made
for some kind of municipal govern
ments for the towns Of the Indian
Territory.
The above is the gist OF his letter
as given to the ARDNoREITE by a
gentlemen who had talked with Mr..
Bledsoe regarding il.
