ADJUSTMENTS.

The Orpheum programme, by its va
riety, vivacity, musical features, wit
and pictorial effects, together with the
remarkable showing Of trained animals
and the fine gymnastic performances,
| continues to please and thoroughly sat
isfy the audiences which assemble.
There will be but three more nights of
the present features, for next week an
entire change of programme with tn
tirely new features, will be introduced.
The third of the seasons concerts of
the Capital Series was given last night
at the Congregational Church to a fine
audience. 1t was not so brilliant
concert as has been given in the Sc
ries, but it was a very artistic and
pleasing one. The Colonial Quartet,
Misses Doane, Kerr, Heyman and Rob-
erts, was well received and made a
charming impression. They sing with
intelligence regulated by artistic sense,
and such vocal effort always commands
the admiration of cultured audience.
The voices are fresh, clear, well trained
and excellently handled. Miss Doane,
the leading soprano, is notably a re-
fined singer. Hers is not a great voice,
but one of sweetness, feeling and ten
derness. AS a soloist she made most
favorable impression. Miss Heyman,
contralto, took the solo number of Miss
Roberts, owing to the voice of the lat
ter being affected by cold. Miss
Heyman equally with Miss Doane, re-
| ceived recalls and commendation. S.
Homer Henley unquestionably bore Off
the palm Of the evening. His baritone,
familiar here, was never heard to bet
ter advantage in Sacramento. He
sang with vigor and informing spirit
that was Inspiring and won the SINGER
est applause. Indeed, in the second
part, he was thrice before the audience
on a single number. Pierre Douillet,
pianist, made his first appearance here.
He is a finished artist, one in whom the
spirit OF music is a reality, and an in
spiration. Very unpretentious in man.
ner, with no affectation, he plays with
the confidence, ease and intelligence Of
master. His reception was very flat
tering, rejecting thorough appreciation
of his art by the audience. Miss
Tharp, the accompanist, is new to Sac
ramento. She is fitted for her office
| admirably. w. J. Hynes, the humor-
ist of the evening, made decided hit.
There was just spice enough to merry
making to give relish. He is a capital
story-teller, and more than clever
comic balladist. The concert was on
the whole, a most agreeable entertain
ment and creditable to the manage
ment Of Messrs. Cohn and Kidder. The
programme was followed as given in
the Record Union yesterday, but it
was doubled in length by the encores
and the responses graciously made.
The young women of the Colonial
Quartet, Misses Doane, Kerr, Roberts
and Heyman, from San Francisco, who
sang at the concert last evening, chap
eroned by Mrs. Doane, have been the
guests while in this city of Mr. and
Mrs. E. r. Hamilton. by whom they
were entertained since Wednesday even
ing.
The wedding of Robert M. Brown Of
Plymouth and Miss Retta E. Phillips
Of this city took place at the residence
of the brides parents at 1909 Four
teenth street, on Sunday, the I'd inst,
Rev. S. II. Phillips officiating The
bride was attended by Miss Maude
Brown of Plymouth and Miss Laura
Williams of this city, and the groom by
Chas. Phillips of this city and JOINT Nc
Mellin Of Plymouth. There were pres
ent only relatives and very few
friends Of the bride and groom.
A wedding dinner followed the cere-
mony, Immediately after which the
bride and groom, amid showers Of rice
and well wishes, left for a short visit
in San francisco. The decorations for
the wedding were very pretty. Smilax,
holly-berries, ferns and mistletoe were
used very tastefully in the parlor and
dining-room. The happy couple re-
ceived some very useful and valuable
presents.
