REEVE JONES' CONCERT.
Brilliant Musical Event in the Jackson
Street Baptist Church--Artists
Who Participated In II.

The Jackson Street Baptist church
was filled to overflowing last evening
on the occasion of the Reeve Jones
concert, which was given for the bene-
fit of the Tabernacle Congregational
church, but owing to the large num-
Der of tickets sold, it was held in the
larger edifice.
Mr.. Jones was assisted by Miss Cor
della Freeman, r. X. williams, of Pitts
ton, and j. w. Jones, the solo basso
of st. Luke's church. Walter Davis
gave pleasing piano accomplishments
to the vocal numbers. The programme
was one of great excellence. Mr.. Jones
rendered a number of piano solos with
the finished beauty which character
izes his work. His perfection of tech
nique was never heard to better ad-
vantage, particularly in his Lizst
number, "Lucea Di Lammermoor."
That he delighted his audience in the
second group of selections 1t is un-
necessary to state, as therein were in
cluded three Welsh subjects, He'd

position. with palace for background,
and duo of marked brilliance pre-
sentirg the theme
Inc tlliIu was MT. Jones ON II
rancsment Of Men of Harlech," most
difficult Of execution and full of color
and fire. He also played three othe'
brief numbers. An Octave Study, by
Eowaslky. a delicious Chopin Noctume
and an arransement of a Nationa, Air,
Land OF the Forefathers," which holds
wonderful fascination not alone to
the Welshman, who loves 1t, but to
every listene- who hears the plaintive
tender melody III its insistent sweet
ness.
Miss freeman sang the brilliant
waltz song, Delight" The rare quality
of tone and the great compass of her
soprano We're given considerable scope
in this selection, and perhaps in no
other is her admirable attack more
satisfactorily shown. Her staccato
work is bewilderingly clever. and the
fresh purity Of tone and thorough con"
,rul of her flexible organ are an un-
ending pleasure. She also sang the
lovely "Villanellc," which attracted so
much attention last season when sung
here by Yaw. She received several en-
cores. Her responses, the favorite
Lullaby" by Norris, and a Welsh
air, were received with great enthus-
asm.
II. II. Williams the well-known ten

sang most artsricalIy "On the Good
WINS by Piccolomini. The beautiful
solo, For All Eternity" called forth
hearty encores, in response to which
he sang Adams Holy City" with great
feeling and pleasing Interpretation.
j. w. Jones had a prominent place
on the programme and fulfilled the ex-
pectations of his many friends by his
solos. He gave an excellent rendition
of the strongly dramatic song by Pin
suit, THE Raft" concluding by Bull
lard's "You Shall Not Go" He was
also heartily recalled.
The concert was in every respect a
