WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Large Attendance at the Methodist Church
Concert Last Night.

The concert last night at the Meth
odiSt church was we'll attended, the
house being quite filed by an appre-
ciative audience. The program was
not lengthy but quite fine one.
First came a selection by Shaw's or
chestra, which was well received by
the audience.
Following this came a solo by Mr.. D.
z. Lieka which was well rendered and
heartily received. The instrumental
Duet by Messrs. Rheams and Alters
was excellently rendered and their eff
forts received a hearty encore to which
the gentlemen bowed their thanks.
Shaw's orchestra then rendered another
selection in their usual excellent man
ner.
The vocal quartet, by Messrs. Alley.
Tucker, Higgins and Crews received
enthusiastic and prolonged applause,
which continued until they responded
by rendering another selection. Fol
lowing this came a vocal duet by Mrs.
beaumont and Mr.. Lieka, which was
excellent. Mr.. Lieka has a rich. bari
tone voice and does not approach he
qualities of a bass, but in clearness OF
tone il is fine.
The Cello" solo by Ralph Dunbar
displayed his excellent lingering and
skillful manipulation of the bow in
very instinct manner, ana with the or
chestral accompaniment received its
full share of applause. Professor Sick
ner then rendered a selection upon the
pipe organ. which received long. loud
and enthusiastic applause, but Mr..
Sickner refused 10 respond.
The last number was then rendered
by Mrs. Howard Beaumont who sang
the Cuckoo Song" in her clear. dis
tinct soprano voice. She certainly has
a very fine voice which She does not
keep in a glass case, 10 be brought out
on parade occasionally, but does not OBJ
ject to singing for her friends occasion
ally. which is noticeably different from

IL always. In the selection which she
rendered her voice alternated with the
piano several times, in such manner
that one could not tell her voice from
the notes o. the piano: and n the finale
a run occurred. which was faultless-
y rendered. showing the beauty OF her
flexible and clear voice in a very de-
lightful manner. This number closed

ELECTION AT CHICAGO.
Republicans Seem tn Have the Best of the
Situation.

situation.
CHICAGO, April S-As far as can be
estimated at this writing Republicans
have decidedly the best of the election for
city and town officers Out of thirty
four aldermen, with two wards yet TO
hear from, the Republicans have elected
seventeen and the Democrats thirteen
members of the city council, while from
two wards independent candidates will be
chosen. The Republicans carried the cleo
tions in the towns Of Hyde Park and
Lake, and on the north side as well. The
Democrats appear to have carried the
west side and the Republicans the south
side offices, but neither is sure as yet.
Strict party lines were ignored in many
of the aldermanic contests, as the NUM-
cipal Voters League was out for the
scalps of men it declared to be unsafe men.
LATER.-Out of thirty-fve aldermen the
Republicans have elected twenty the
Democrats thirteen, and two Independ-
ents were chosen. There are thirty-four
wards in the city, but two aldermen were
chosen in one, there being "A vacancy in
that ward The principal feature of the
eleCUlOn was Jne eHOrO Vi lho relOrih eic'
ment TO down number of gang alder.
men. The reformers were successful with
a majority of the men they were after,
but they failed to secure three or four
bright particular scalps they desired.
Party lines were not strong IN number
of wards, and the reform movement had
much weight.
