MUSICAL MENTION.

Monday hight a delightful program
WAS given by the Matinee Musicale in
it's rooms in the Brace block. The event
was an open meeting which was taken
advantage OF by the friends OF the talent
ed club. 1t was difficult task to do
exact justice in commenting upon the
execution OF the various numbers on the
well.planued tonal menu, as the fullest
capacity of those appearing was modi-
fed to the listeners by reason OF the uI-
favorable construction OF the hall. Dur
ing the first numbers this is noticeable
but it wears away somewhat and one
becomes adjusted ami acclimated so that
the fault, and il is serious one, is less
prominent.
Soul like above the surrounding mum
hers stood the work OF Mrs. Will Owen
Jones in her two numbers. III the bar.
carolle- was excellent the following
.Arietta di Balletto" was exquisite
wherein the premier danseuse could be
easily followed as the tiptoed all airy
and fairy like through the ballet. Miss
Lucy Haywood with Mrs. E. P. Brown,
rendered Saint Saens' "Danse Macabre'
in a most approved style which was
charming. Mrs Raymond did conscien-
tious work at the piano in support OF
several others, a trying position in which
Mrs. Raymond always fills well. A song
with deep touch of humanity in it was
the "Angelus" presented by Miss OAK
lev and Mrs. Campbell. Miss Oakley
has made marked improvement in her
voice during her last years study.
When in solo the smallness OF the hall
intefered with Miss Oakley's well turned
expression. Miss Reynolds and Mrs.
Mark Woods we're subject to the same
limitations which was much regretted.

meet the heartiest applause, probably

PIo Pillar TO WITHDRAW.
InsurEent Leader VIII Evacuate Pa
co, suburb of Manila.


MANILA, oct 20.-The insurgent gen.
eral, Pho Pillar, has agreed to evacuate
Paco. the last suburb of Manila held by
the Filpinos, on Oct. 25. This completes
the American conquest Of the city
The last rebel was driven from Cavite
yesterday. The Americans now hold Ca
vite and Manila, the rest of the island
of Luzon being in the hands of the in
surrectionist factions.
How little power Aguinaldo possesses
is shown by his refusal to grant passes
to visit the interior on the ground that
the northern provinces are held by Gen
eral Makaboulas, who is in revolt against
the Malalos government.
General Aguinaldo has shown good
faith in securing Pho Pillars consent to
evacuate Paco, although the rumor is
persistently circulated that the rebel
leaders have promised their soldiers
who are growing restless, that an at
tack will be made on Manila before the
end Of the present month.
As matter of fact, Pho Pillar who is
the chief of the anti-American party
has been reduced and is practically un-
der arrest by Aguinaldo.

to last as long and serve as well as any

Judge wofford IS one Of the ablest
criminal lawyers in the state of Missouri
He has been on the bench in Jackson
county, of which Kansas City is the seat,
for the past six years.
Judge Wofford is one of the leading
Democrats of the southwest. There is no
better or more widely known man in that
section of the country.
The careful balancing of right and
wrong and the dispensing Of even-handed
justice brings with it judicial discrim-
mating habit of mind that no profession
