Mrs. Elizabeth Northrop, soprano
soloist, occupies most prominent posi-
tion in the concert world of today, and
her singing never fails to delight all who
listen to her work. To her brilliant voice
and admirable method OF execution are
the added charms of handsome stage
presence and pleasing personality.
Miss Martina Johnstone, violiniste, is
a graduate fthe Royal Conservatory Of
Music at Stockholm, where she received
the first prize from the hand OF the King
OF Sweden. She had also the honor to
play for the late Field Marshal Count
Won Moltke, in whose house she was
often guest. Miss tombstone possesses
great skill and a tone of never failing
purity, with perfect understanding Of
how to bring out clearly the musical
thought in every note.
An entirely new march composed by
Mr.. Sousa will be played here for the
first time.
Tickets will be placed on sale Tuesday,
May 25, at one p. M, at Binghams and

appears to havean attraction for all un.

by one last winter and the new one came
near meeting a similar fate Wednes
day morning. George Richardson was
just starting out with his meat cart on q
trip, when the horse kicked, got his foot
hung on the cross-bar and commenced to
plunge towards Moulton's window
Just as one more plunge would have
landed the animal through the glass som'
one seized the bride and stopped him
There was minute or two when Moul
ton would have parted with plate glass
windows for very small sum.

The Sousa Concert. The only night

The Sousa Concert. The only night
conc It in Vermont of Sousa's band is
an opportunity not to be missed by the
lovers of good instrumental music, and
Music Hall should be crowded Mon
day evening, the 31st, to hear n company
of exceptionally fine artists, conducted
by John Philip Sousa, upon whom the
title of "March King has been bestowed
by universal acclaim.
Mr.. Sousa is one of the very few Ameri.
can composers whose works are gener-
ally played throughout Europe. He
was put in training by his father, himself
a musician, in his earliest youth, and at
the age of 10 appeared in public as a
solo vioinist, and at 1S he became al,
orchestral leader. 1t is generally sup
posed that Mr.. Sousa's experience as a
musician and leader has been confined to
the military field, but such is far from
the truth although he was the brilliant
and successful leader of the United State.
