A Delightful Entertainment.

large and representative audience assem-
hled in the Elkton Opera House on Thursday
evening, the occasion being the first concert
o. Il series Of high-class entertainments pro-
jectcd by Mr.. V. NJ. Torbert of THE WING, in
the constellation OF participating artists Miss
Lillian Chandler, of Boston, the accomplished
violinist being the bright, particular star.
Upon its artistic merits, the program of
Thursday evening should have commanded
even Il larger house. The responsibility for
this is not due to managerial inefllciency. or
lack of local support, but to the capricious
month Of March, that lato on Thursday after
noon stormed and sputtered.
Any impartial and competent critic viii
concede, that the program in its entirety was
the most artistic ever rendered in the town.
Plenty Oi women there are who essay to plav
upon the instrument which our yrandsires
called the fiddle. The modern Vaudeville
stage exhibits many of them. These feminine
bidders for public favor rely solely upon their
physical charms and well powdered arms. to
atone for their lack of musical culture. But
in the hands of Miss ChandIerthe instrument
on which she plays rises into the full dignity
OF violnhood. 1t becomes under her tails
manic touch, expressive of all the emotions of
the human heart. 1t sings and it sichs. is
forceful and tender by turns, while her phv-
steal gracefulness becomes the pleasing
medium, through which the feelings of her
hearers are touched.
Miss Sophia Church Halls well modulated
contralto voice. showed extremely well in the
song by Alascheroni, "Through All Eternity"
heightened in its effects by Miss Chambers
violin accompaniment. Mr. H. p. Hopkins
put his audience under great obligation to

the piano as well as by his own production

Orr accompanied Miss Chandler at the piano

representations were received very cordially
His dialect limitations were true to nature.
and his stage presence was pleasing.

The next concert of the series, with Miss
Chandler and now artists supporting her. will
be given next Wednesday evening.

II understand that it is your Honors' desire
that we make II statement of the facts in this
case for the Information OF the court" said
Mr.. Evans, States Attorney, in opening the
case. He then stated the circumstances ap-
pertaining to the murder of Captain Camp.
The circumstances in the case he said show
that the murderer was acquainted with the
dry dock and that he was acquainted with
the movements and affairs Of the victim.
The defence reserved its statement. Dr. JOS
V. Wallace, of Chesapeake City, practising
physician, was the first witness called by the
state. He testified that he was in Chesapeake
City and saw the body after it had been
found on the afternoon after the day
of the murder. The body when he saw it was
lying in Il shed or outhouse on the dry
dock Did not make n close examination of
the uody but looked over tho grounds. A
wallet was picked up before him, about
eight feet away pool of blood was found,
along the river shore. The tide had wet part
of the book. 1t was handed to DR.. Wallace
by certain Mr.. Krastel and he looked into
it. He found the address of Il lady at Goshen,
N. j., n lock OF hair. a receipt, but he found
no money in it. | again saw the body when
and examination was conducted by the state

as n half dollar, on back Of the head, and

DIR. Wallace said it was hard to tell exactly
how many wounds there were.
Henry J. Pcnscl, a prominent merchant OF

MOSQUITO FACTS.
The Female Does All the Singing

Not one, but three, species are repre-
scented among those who venture into hui
man habitations. TIL one whose sting
hurts the most is a little dark brown crea-
ture, but a goodly sized yellow mosquito
and a large sized back variety with striped
legs. are backward in making their pres
ence Known.
Mosquitoes are. so natural, so cunning
in the manner in which they sting and
draw Their blood that it will no doubt
ing human blood is only an acquired taste
with them. DR.. Uhier says that their
natural food is slime and deleterious orr
ganie matter that would be the cause of
much malaria were II not eaten by the
mosquitoes.
TASTE says DR.. Uhler. 'sbm they have
learned how to do it scientifically. Did
you ever notice how quickly they discover
and make for places on the exposed parts
of your body where arteries full of blood
lie near the surfaceg'
All the mischief of mosquitoes was in
hersted by the females. The males neither
buzz nor sting. nor do they seem TO do
anything at anfexcept to stay lazily by
and watch a spry and energetic female
cavort around a human ear and make
merry over the annoyance she Is causing
to the man or woman with nerves.
EntomologistS sayxthat the male mos

they haven't a pair of sonorous cavities

CYCLISTS WANT II.
New Cycle Path to the Boule-
ward Still in the Theory
Stage.

The. cyclists of this city promise no
rest to the Street and Water Board un-
til that promised t~horoughfare connect
ing the Boulevard with the ferry is a
condition, not a theary. Commissicner
Kaiser will be im~portuned until he re-
news his former agitation of the project
and arouses the Board to do something
for this much talked of scheme.
This matter has been the subject of
discussion among the cyclists and lovers
of good roads OF both this and the ada
cent cities. Every cyclist has experience
ed the inconvenience in reaching the fer
ry. from the Hill over the rough pave
ments and through dirty, dusty streets.
The roads in other sections are being
constantly improved, where the necessity
is not nearly as great.
The Associated Cycling Club of Hudson
county proposes to axe active measures
as soon as its organization is completed.
The various cycling clubs who have Joined
the Associated Club are already instruct
ing their delegates to direct their first
efforts to the scheme and it is hoped<that
they may have some successful result in
a short time.
