ARTISTIC RECITAL
Complimentary to the WOman's Mus
zeal Club Given Last Night in the
A. 0. U. W. Temple---The Pro-
gramme.

Nothing in music could be more in
spring than the fine performance Of
Miss Russell Brown, assisted by Mr..
Hermann Schockey and Mr.. Chas. Zu-
lauf. in the complimentary recital to
the Woman's Musical Club at the A. O..
T.. w. Temple last evening. The strik-
ing and marvellous features of Miss
Browns playing are her execution and
tone production. Her first number
Beethoyens Concerto in b fiat. with
the MOscheles cadenza, was beautifully
given. and the large audience knew not
which to admire more. the talent which
she proved herself to possess, or her
mOdesty.
The next number on the programme
was a vocal solo by Mr.. Chas. Zulauf,
and his voice. always good, never ap-
peared TO better advantage Wheeling
audiences always expect a treat when
Mr.. Zulauf appears, and last night they
were not disappointed He did not re-
spond to the demanded encore.
Miss Brown then appeared in a dOu-
BILE number, and she was compelled to
respond TO an encore, playing la Pas
Quinade, by Go,tschalk.
After this the audience enjoyed that
for which Wheelngs musical people
have longed. Mr. Schockey. in violin
solo. He was greeted with vociferous
applause the moment he came on the
stage. and the silence which pervaded
the house during this performance only
proved that every note drawn by this
master bow was deeply unfolding it
self in every hearers heart. To the
loud and continued applause which fol-
lowed the closing of this number Mr..
SchOckey declined to respond. Many
regrets were heard that this pleasure
is so seldom granted Wheeling people.
for they are proud TO claim Mr.. Schock-
ey as their own and would delight to
do him honor.
Miss Brown came forward with one
of her very best efforts. the Schubert
ImprOmptu, in f minor, followed by a
Chopin valse in 4 fat, also admirably
played. and her encore "Hark, Hark,
the Lark was gem.
Mr.. Zulauf followed with his second
number. but ne was compelled 20 sing
three before his hearers were satisfied.
Miss Brown ended the really artistic
evening with what was considered by
most her very best effort. Chopin $
Grand PolOnaise the Andante Spini-
alto. She received a prOiusiOn of flow
ers and established herself an artist.
with promise of a glorious future. The
Woman's Musical Club, which is sup
plying a long felt want in Wheeling.
is indebted to Miss Brown. Mr. Schock-
ey and Mr. Zulaut for its most delight
tul, as well as its most instructive, even

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION.
The Peoples Company Had Its Ordi-
nance Extended Last Night.
A Prospect that Still Another Com
pany Will Come to Council for a
Franchises Some Valuable Ad-
vice on the Subject Of Private
Contracts.

The indications are that there will be
some interesting telephone develop
ments in Wheeling, in the near future.
There has been quite revival of in
trest in new companies, recently, and
number of people are named as being
interested in the local ventures to be
soon made.
At last evenings session Of Council,
the Peoples Telephone Company which
obtained a franchise eighteen months
ago, asked for and obtained an extern
sion of years time, and TumOr has it
that yet another Company is being or
ganiZd
A gentleman who has had some eXpe-
rience with telephones in other cities,
made the following very pertinent
statement, last evening, on the subject:
Telephone competition viii be wei
come on account Of the low prices it will
bring TO the citizens. but those who
want low prices should not bind them
selves with either the new OF Old COM
pany by signing contracts for long
term. Other cities have competition,
and in a number of places the users Of
the telephone have been cut out Of the
benefits by agreeing to take telephone
for a number Of years, and by agreeing
not to us any other telephone during
the period OF their contract. Prices
have been reduced by one or the other
of the companies TO almost nothing, and
those who signed for year or term
OF years have not been able to avail
themselves of the low prices cOmpeti-
ton have offered. and have lost the
benefits that competition brings. Those
who want the lowest prices should not
tie themselves up with any company
A bad working telephone, or poor tele-
phone service is of little value. II we
are TO have telephone competition 1t
should be willing 10 come on its merits.
A company that furnish as good or bet
ter service than the Bell Company at
lower price. can be assured the patron
ace of the community at large. preyid-
ing it is proven by comparison, after
they have their poles and wires up and
their central Office installed ready l0r
business: hence a contract for a long
period. binding patrons to take pot
luck, should not be signed, nor should
any company seeking TO do business in
Wheeling ask for such a contract. A
number of cities in Ohio and Western
States have telephone competition,
whose subscribers signed for term Of
years and are now forced to pay double
what the old company charges, and in
some places the old company is furnish
ing service for less than half what the
patrons of new companies are forced 10
pay by reason of signing contracts
Low prices are made by the biders for
the business for the purpose o. killing
off one or the other of the companies.
This. however, ought not to be consid-
cred by the user or consumer of the
goods offered az low prices. 1t does not
make any difference which competitor
is driven out of eXistence-the one that
continues in business is necessarily
compelled to make up the losses caused
by competition and put its prices on a
paying basis; hence the user or con-
