The Concert.

A full house and Il most select
and appreciativc audience assem-
bled on the occasion of the Fifth
Concert of the Opelousas Acade-
my of Music, and rs might have
been expected, it scored another
triumph for these talented anna
teurs and professors of our Aca-
deny.
Miss L. Veazie's execution on
the piano is remarkable; she pos
sesses all the qualities of great
artist-powcr and velocity. She
executed the most difficult pas
sages with the greatest ease, and
seemed to have entire control
over her instrument. In her Or
chestral playing she shows her
value as Il musician.
The renditions of Bethoven's S
and Rossini's Trios for piano, or
gan and violin could not be ex-
celled.
Little Alma Sandoz surprised
the audience by handling the most
difficult string instrument (the vi
oloncello) which is larger than
herself, and playing, with orches-
trail accompaniment, solo-La
Derniere Rose-very sweetly. AL
lowing for her tender age and this
being her first appearance in pub
lie, the self-possession of the little
tot was most gratifying; she ex-
hibited the germ of the future
musician.
Mr.. A. G.. Skiles, who has only
recently commenced the study of
the Cotra-Basse seems to handle
that Monsterfidle as if he had
been "born to it. - The artistic
manner with which he welded
the bow was wonderful.
The abilities of Miss A. Latour
teacher of piano and Organ in
the Academy of Music and of
Prof. 4. Mayer, are so we'll
known that it is unnecessary to
mention them.
The Singing-all of which was
with Orchestral Accompaniment
gave general satisfaction.
Miss NJ. Zoder, in her selection
from William Tell, excelled her.
self: She sang with all her heart
and soul. Miss O. Laas, who
sang selections from Mariana,
has never shown her fine voice
to better advantage. Both ladies
had to respond to encores, which
they did most charmingly.
Mr.. L. Prados favored US with
selections from Martha; his soft
and tender voice touched the
hearts of all hearers. Altogether
the program was one not soon to
be forgotten, and we hope that
Prof. Mayer will soon give us an
ther musical treat
After the Concert as usual we
enjoyed the ball.
The music by the full orchestra
was so delightful that it was early
morning before we thought of
home and rest.

SOME DO NOT LIKE 1T.

The report OF the monetary COM
mission, appointed by the exc utive
committee of the Indianapolis none
tary convention, which was made pub
lie in Washington yesterday and
published in today's issue Of the Free
Press, has caused considerable COM
ment among members Of congress and
others at Washington. In interviews
the Minnesota delegation does not
seem to fancy it. Congressman Nc
CleaIy, while not w.sning to eXpr' IS
decided opinion upon the report un-
til he had more thoroughly studied it,
said:
1t, is too big a matter to discuss off
handa While | have read the report
| have not compared it with numer-
Gus plans heretofore presented, and
until have carefully studied it and
have remedy TO suggest for certain
defects, do not wish to 60 into de-
tails. 1t does not, however, appear to
me to be logical conclusion in the
premises. 1t starts out by saying that
there are too many kinds of money
and then lets the matter rest there.
The conditions under the proposed
plan would remain the same. 1t does
not however, provide for any reduc-
tion in the volume of money in circu-
latiOn. AS fast as the greenbacks are
retired their place is taken by gold
certificates up to $50, 900, 900, and after
that by national bank notes.
