CoNcERT.-The concert given at the
Baptist Church last night was one of
ihe best ever given there, and, despite
The inclement weather, and the various
attractions which happened to take
place on the same evening, quite a
large number was present. While it
would be a difficult task to decide
which of the participants did the best it
IS due them that special mention should
be made of each. Miss Sadie Harmon,
of Brishlwood appeared for the first
time before an Alexandria audience as
a vOcalis5, and her sweet clear voice
was heard at good advantage in that
beautiful song entitled "Madrienue,"
she winning for herself great praise.
The Rotations by Miss Pollard, one of
Alexandria 5 most talented young la
dies. were excellent and sustained her
we'll deserved reputation as an elocu-
tiouist. Miss Tyler, one of Alexandria's
favorite sopranos, was at her best aud
sang with good effect IN Happy
DAYS" the violin obligato as played by
Prof. Dunn, adding much TO the sweet
ness of the song which was so clearly
brought out by the singer. The selec
tions by the Guitar and Mandolin Club
were well rendered and highly appre-
ciated. Prof Edward Dunn's violin
solo won for him great praise and
Strengthened his well-known leputa-
toe as a violinist. Mrs. Yates, who
has Oh lumber of occ lsions charmed
her hearers, acquitted herself most ad-
mirably in two piano solos, displaying
great taste in both the selection aud the
execution. The solo, Queen of the
Earth" was done ample justice by Mr..
Daniel NJ. Steers, whose rich baritone
voice filed the church and won for hin
another laurel in his wreath of praise.

BUSINESS is get
~ ting better; there's
no doubt about it; at
least that's our expe-
renee at the south
east corner Of King
and St. Asaph streets.
Can't give any reason
for it at this time; that
promised "restoration"
hasn't PANIED out
worth q cent; banks
have kept on failing,
AMI merchants, too,
just like they did be-
fore the cleo ton;
prices haven't gone
up; people say times
are hard and business
dull; but, still, in spite
of all, we are selling
more goods than we
were. The amount of
it is that the people
are getting tired OF
buying common gro
ceries "cheap," and
are finding out it is
better to buy where
they know that DUAL
ITY has always been
the first consideration.

ceries are alwsys the

them?

OPERA HoUsE.-The Washil gton
Times saws OF Rev. DIR. Stafford, who
will lecture in this city tonight
under the auspices of the Y. NJ. S. L.:
"Dr. Stafford is the only lecturer who
has filed Metzerotts Hall. Last even-
ing at his lecture on Hamlet, standing
room could not be had, and the lee ure
was u superb piece OF work. TT ose
who stood were well repaid. DIR.

In the play "The Burglar which
comes TO the Opera House tomorrow
night, the spectator is led through
series of home pictures to the sensation
of repulsive burglar discovered in his
nefarous calling by q child who, in
stead OF being scared out of her wits, is
more alarmed that her father and
mother shall be disturbed or bodily in
Iured. The child, in her fear for others,
is willing to aid the burglar in his Sc
lection of plumber, and an interview
between the two has no counterpart on
the stage.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says of
"Hands Across the Sea" which comes
to the Opera House Wednesday night :
at is an admirable melodrama, and was
received with the utmost enthusiasm.
The play is full of interest from begin
ming to cad, and wins the spectator as
much from this fact as from the number
ofstrongly sensational episodes it pos
sesses."
A large and cuturedi audience gath.
cred at the Opera House last night and
listened with much pleasure to the
graphic lecture on Ben Hur by Mr..
John P. Clum. The lecture was pro-
fusely illustrated with charming stere
opticon views of scenes of interest and
note. Mr.. Cium is very interesting
speaker, and. having had an extensive
personal experience with the scenes be
depicted, his graphic and thrilling
stories were of more than usual interest.
