Attracted Much Attention.
I'm Persian Garden" song-cycle by
Liza Lehman has been graciously re
ceived both in Europe and America. The
words have been selected from the Ruba-
iyat of omar Khayyam (Fitzgerald's
translation and the thoughts of the poet
have been beautifully treated in the COM
position which is intended to be sung by
four solo voices.
In a conversation with Mr.. +. E. Re
barer, in reference to the work, he said:
Il regard the work as one of merit. In
form il is decidedly original. The composer
evidently caught the spirit and fire of the
great passion poet of the East and por-
trays such creditably in her arrangement
of the parts. The quartets are brilliant,
full OF movement.
The solos are dignafed and impressive
and the whole contains that which i'm
presses upon the hearer an idea of the
Oriental fervor and moods of Omar, the
tentmaker the great philosopher Of his

MADE MANY CHILDREN HAPPY.



The Christmas tree for the poor children
of the city. given yesterday afternoon at
the Catholic Library Han by the ladies of
Froebei Circle of Kings Daughters, was
a happy affair. Five hundred children
had been invited to attend, and that num-
Der We're given presents and a quantity
of candy and fruit
Making up the lists of those 10 whom
they desired to give presents was not a
small task for the ladies. They had an
experience of the year before to assist
them, however and they were thus able
to perform the work with much less dn
ficulty than they might otherwise have
been. The lists of last year were taken,
revised and ADDED to. Every child in the
city, as far as the ladies could ascertain
who had not any other chance for
Christmas present was on the lists
There are some Sunday schools in the
city that have no Christmas tree celebra-
tons. II was for the entertainment and
pleasure of the children who attend these
that the ladies particularly desired to have
the affair in the han. The fact that they
did not attend Sunday school at ALL how
ever, was no bar to children, and many
of this description were among those who
members of the circle
The majority of the children were
little things, the general age
being from 6 to 10 years. There were not
few both over and beneath these ages
| though. and presents were given 10 all
as their names were called. And that they
were all delighted could be readily seen
| 1t needed but the evidence of a peep into
the hall to show the happiness that the
| action of the ladies was scattering abroad
over the city
Children whose Christmas joys miynt
| have been very slight received gifts that
TO them, was elegant. They thought The
| toys they received were as handsome as
| any ever seen. The little girl who 1e-
| ceived from Santa Claus this morning a
magnificent doll, dressed beautifully in
silks and satins, was not more happy than
| that little girl who got her 25-cent article
! in the same line.
| II required several hours for the ladies
| to complete their distribution of the pres
! ents. Gentlemen called out the names of
| the children as they appeared on the ar
tcies. Then the little ones came forward
in response and received them. together
with apples, oraitges, candy and bananas.
| A Christmas tree, decorated with the usual
brave display of tinsel, candy, candles and
bright bias of colored paper, was a wonder
in the eyes Of the little ones
The ladies of the circle were we'll pleased
with the success of their tree. Ii gave
them sincere pleasure to see the delight
that was reflected in the faces of the lit
tie ones, and they were amply repaid in
this for the work and worry incident to
The gathering together of all the pres
| ents.
