The Vocal Culture Club Concert.

The announcement of concert to be
given in the College Chapel on We'd
nesday evening of this week, by the
Hot Springs Vocal Culture Club, under
the direction of Mr.. Silas Mills, assisted
by Misses Olive Howe and Emma Sill
henson, served to attract Il large audi
ence. The Club is composed of twenty
of the singers of Hot Springs, and their
rendition of the three numbers on the
program disclosed the fact that there
are some really good voices here. The
piano solo by Miss Silkenson was fine
ly played and evoked liberal applause.
Mr.. Mills had four numbers, three of
them double numbers. and that his
singsng pleased the audience was evil
dent He was encored several times
but did not respond, further than to
recognize the applause by bowling
But the favorite of the evening was
Miss Howe. She was on the program
for one number-a piano solo from
Paganini- List, and at the request OF
Mr.. Mills she played another selection
She was enthusiastically encored and
and graciously responded in both i'll.
stances. The concert was success
throughout, and the audience seemed
to enjoy each selection, and feel that
they had received full value.

What the Newspaper Does.

In speaking of what newspaper
does for its community, the late United
States Senator David Davis, of Illinois,
made an address that will forever re-
main green in the memories of the
newspaper men. Said he:
"Each year every local newspaper
gives from $500 to $4,000 in free lines
for the benefit of the community where
it is located. No other agency will do
this. The editor in proportion to his
means does more for his town than
any other man, and with fairness, man
with man, he ought to be supported,
not because you happen to like him. or
happen to admire his writings, but be-
cause a local paper Is the best invest
ment community can make. Today
the editors of local papers do more
work for less pay than any other men
on earth. Patronize your local paper,
not as charity, but as an investment g
Hot Springs may not be strikingly
different from most places in this re-
spect, but being resort town there
seems to al ways be great deal of ad-
vertising to do. The towns future de-
pends upon it's fame-upon what the
public may be convinced of regarding
the place as health and pleasure re.
sort. Therefore great deal is expect.
ed of the newspapers here-and GER
tainly great deal is given. Not only
is time given to writing of the attrac
tions, but of newspaper space-all Of
which means cash-but the newspapers
are looked to in almost every instance
to contribute their portion of cash to
ward entertaining various gatherings
as they meet here.

Crystal Cave.

Parties in the Black Hills should
never fail to visit the Mammoth Crys-
tai Cave, situated on the B. II. s. Ft. P.
Ry. A round trip is easily made from
Hot Springs in one day over the F. E..
& M. v. Ry., changing cars at Pied
mont, giving nine hours at the cave.
Crystal Cave was represented at the
Worlds Fair, Chicago, which gave it
wonderful fame for its great mass of
crystals; also ut Antwerp, Belgium, At
lanta, Ca, and arrangements are now
being completed to take FIVE car
loads of crystals to Paris for 1900.

A unique and delightful entertair-
ment combining all the local charac-
teristics of southern life has just end
ed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Cheairs.
The guests were Mrs. Andrew j. Kel-
lar, Philip Kcllar and Miss Werdna
Kellar, of Hot Springs, Miss Van kur-
an, of Rapid City, Mr.. Robert Moulton,
of New York City, nephew of Mrs.
Cheairs; Miss Won Wedelstaedt and
her brother, DIR. Bismarck Won Wedel-
staedt, of st. Paul.
AS if by the wand of Prospero, old
scenes and customs were evolved
from widely different conditions. The
very atmosphere of another age and
locality became a reality. Delicious
breakfasts of watiles, beaten biscuit
and Sail Lunn seemed the same that
we're served by the proud, stately
black Nanny of years ago. The early
morning cup of coffee was not forgot
ten. The ten o'clock coffee was also
served to the happy idlers who Glanced
to call.
The informal visitors to luncheon,
the afternoon nap, giving renewed
vigor for the evening; the long drives
at intervals, the music, dance, gay wit
and laughter. were the charming reali-
ties. An improvised stage, where Rob
ert Moulton and Philip Kellar gave
theatricals and impersonated the plan
tation life, was pleasant and humor-
Gus feature, while Shubert's I'm
promptu, or Beethoven's Sonatas, by
Miss Kellar, and sweet songs by Miss
Van kuran, made the rare, poetical
phase.
Only in fancy came the soft Zephyrs
of the old homes, fragrant with the
magnolia and olive; only in fancy we
heard the wild plaintive negro melodies
blended with that sweet music of all
climes. the thrilling notes of the mock
ing bird. But the spirit of the South
rested over the household, and the
guests marvelled and said this must be
the land of which Goethe wrote Com
municated to the Deadwood Pioneer
Times.

Fighting for True Liberty.

The following letter from Captain
Brockway to the Aberdeen News is self
explanatory:
"Several papers have published
copy of certain telegram sent by me
to Senator Kyle in April, 1898, regard

menting upon it have sought to draw
the conclusion that must necessarily
at this time be in sympathy with Ag-
uinaldo and his rebellious followers.
In order to remove any such impress
sions that may have arisen, shall
make herein statement of my posi-
tion and feelings i'll the matter.
s.So far as feeling any scruples i'll

us here concerned, have none. and.
further than that, would rather see
everyone of them slain in battle than
to have our government recede one
step in this matter. We, on our side.
are fighting for the same cause of true
liberty, for liberty to Aguinaldo means
only license. His following comprises
one tribe of the many who inhabit this
island, and does not represent the peo-
pie as whole any more than the in
habitants of one county those of a
whole state. For instance at San Fer

province of Pampanga, the insurgent

or red, who raise their hands against
the old flag. O.,

A most interesting game of base ball
was played between these two cele
brated mines on Saturday afternoon.
Owing to the fact that the diamond
was situated on the bluff at the rear of

little as possible regarding the "Never

of the American Express Co.. was so
mortified over the poor exhibition his
team made. that he left the Springs at
an early hour Sunday morning. The
score at the end of the third inning

Dame Rumor says that the AdmiraPs
matrimonial venture, sprung so ddenly
upon the public, came as a crushing blow
to more than one ambitious mamma and
daughter of certain age whose CAPS were
prepared to set on his return; and with
customary kindness, the names of the dis
appointed are freely given. So true is the
old saying, "Rumor has a million feet but
no head" Admiral Dewey exhibited the
good sense for which he has long been IA
nous in the selection of a second wife. IN
stead of following the shining example of
most elderly wdoweTs and taking some
chit of a girl for the companion of his de-
clning years. he has selected a lady al
most his equal in point of age. Some of
the newspapers have given the brides age
as 43; but considering that she has been
twelve years widow and was no longer
young when Gen. Hazen was cslled up
higher, and that his son who died about
fifteen months ago, was a little past 30
there must be a mistake somewhere in the
reckoning. However, a woman is
young as she looks, and as the handsome
subject of remark said nothing about it,
and the family Bible was not in evidence,
the reporters were compelled TO judge from
appearances. The talk of a church we'd
ding was equally nOnsensical as every
body knows how rigid is the ecclesiastical
law governing the marriage of Catholics
with non-members of course, as the
mother church makes the rule, she might
just as easily make exceptions; but she
never does. 1t was generally believed
that dispensation would be secured in IA
vor of Miss Virginia Fair at the time of
her marriage to William X. Vanderbilt,
Jr.. but, though earnestly sought the COW
eted permission could not be gained, and
the young multi-mlionaires had to fore
go the pomp and glory Of church we'd
ding. A similar case of more recent date
was that of Lieut.. Winslow and Miss Hav-
ersnyer, whose mother is a most devout
member of the Church of Rome. Every eff
fort was made to secure special dispen
sation and the Pope was personally APP
pealed TO- but all in vain Neither money
nor influence could compass that favor
and the pair had to content themselves
with a simple home-wedding.

there are fewer things liable to duty. Many
travellers, however, are curiously ignorant
on this point There seems to be an inc
radicable belief that lace is still among
conraband gOods-as, of course. it used
to be. There is a well-known story in
custom house annals of a certain little
poodle dog plump and podgy, that used
to go backward and forward across the
channel until he got TO be recognized as
a regular traveller. But in course of time
it was noticed that he always came home
a good deal fatter than he went out and
this led to closer observation, when Ii was
found that the little impostor had two
coats on his back-his own and curlier
one he had appropriated from another
dog. Between the two was a thick sheath
ing of valuable lace, of which it seemed
large quantities had for a long time been
regularly imported, duty free in this way.
