THE CONCERT AT FALMOUTH.

The concert which was given in the
First Parish church under the auspices
of the Falmouth Choral Union, was in
every way a success. The conductor,
Prof. Reuben Merrill. showed great abili-
ty as g musical conductor, and the chorus
is exceedingly grateful for his kindly and
generous leadership.
The solos by Mrs. Florence Knight
Palmer, Miss Katherin Kicker, and Mr.
A. B. Hall were of a very. high order of
excellence and reflected great credit on
their musical talent.
A quartette sung by Mrs. Palmer, Miss
Kicker, Messrs. Hall and Paul Kicker,
was specially we'll chosen and sung in a
way which pleased every nearer.
The singing by the chorus was most
inspiring and especially when the concert
closed with the song "The Star Spapgled
Banner"
The piano accomplishments by Mrs.
Smith, was great help in making tn e
concert success.
There have been concerts given here for
the last four years, but 5here never has
been one Of higher merit than the one
of the past week, and Falmouth may be
justly proud of such music and talent
which alone can make their annual con-
certs possible.

abroad was q juggler," said New Or
leans business man who recently returned
from a brief trip across the pond. "He
was at a music hall in Bremen, and he
walked down to the footlights made up az
an old professor. carrying cane under
his arm. smoking a long porcelain pipe
and reading a newspaper. He set the pa
per on fire. apparently by accident, and
began striking at 1t wildly with his pips
and stick. In moment all three were Ia
the air. and kept there until the last
atom was consumed, but the trick had
none of the effect of piece OF Juggling.
1t seemed merely the excited efforts OF an
irascible old gentleman TO extinguish the
blaze. When the paper disappeared he
caught the pipe In his mouth and the
cane I'm his hand and hobblod or snok-
ing and muttering to himself. II was an
excellent bit of comedy, and. considering
the fact that the burning paper was con-
stantly changing In weight the juggling
was certainly marvellous exhibition Of
