MUSICAL.

1t has been many day and many a
year since the musical public of Wheel
ing had the opportunity of liste--g to
such an Interpretation of such a vocal
programme as was sung last evening
at the Carroll Club auditorium by Mrs.
Alice Lincoln Dean, who was assisted,
to the extent of the fourth number, by
the chorus of the Woman's Musical
Club, under the direction of Mrs Flora
Williams. Without eXaggeration, the
concert was an event in the musical
history of Wheeling, which will be Of
ten recalled in times to come, and it's
high standard of artistic excellence will
not be easily surpassed, whatever art
iste may be hereafter secured The
concert was coincident with the first
real touch of winter, the air being
damp and cold, with a steadily failing
snow, and upon such night it is <jt
an easy matter to rally any consider
able number OF people to a purely in
tellectual treat, no matter how meri-
torious. Notwithstanding this absence
of propitious conditions, however, the
audience was large one, and was rep
resentative of the musical culture of the
city and suburbs to most unusual de-
gree. Ladies predominated as to num-
bers. but still very many gentlemen
were present, the total number of ad-
missions being about three hundred.
1t was about twenty-five minutes af-
ter eight when Mrs. Dean appeared,
with MSS McHenry, her accompanist;
for the initial number on the pro-
gramme, the cavatina, "Nobl.s Seig-
neurs salut!" from the first act of Les
Huguenots" (Mayerbeer), and the art
iste received enthusiastic applause as
she came forward which was graceful
ly acknowledged. Mrs. Deans voice
was apparently not quite as clear and
pure as upon Saturday, possibly owing
to atmospheric conditions, and in this
opening number there was a lack of
clearneSs at times, and yet it was a
revelation to her auditors, who were
more than charmed with the richness
and depth of the lower and middle req
lister, and the purity of the high notes.
AS the Register has previously explain
ed, her voice partakes decidedly of both
the conTalto and soprano characters
tics, without being distinctly either. and
the resulting effect is most pleasing.
Her musical conception is broad and
satisfactory. and there is a clear
grasp Of the authors meaning and an
almost intuitive comprehension of the
proper effects, which, added to techni-
cal perfection and good taste, produces
an effect but little short of ideal. Dur
ing the evening these essentials to good
yocalization were demonstrated repeat
edly, and yet there was opportunity for
criticism, in the Monotone, when lit
le technical trickeries were in
dulged in, and in the Wagner
Traume," which was not quite up 10
the mark. On the other hand, praise
s due for the rend>tion of Noel and
rosti's "Panso" Mrs. Deans abilities
ere undoubted but some critics last
evening were disposed to feel that at
lines carelessness crept into her work

the general merit OF her recital.
The chorus of the club, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Flora Williams, it may
be said with strict accuracy, never did
SO well. 1t was perfectly balanced, and
last evening took the Song of the
Norns," a composition of more than
usual difficulty, and of a distinctly dra-
matte character, with precision and
spirit. Mrs. Williams well sustained
/ the soprano part, while Miss Harvey s
contralto voice was never heard with
greater satisfaction, she acquitting her
self with greater credit, in the estima-
ton of her many friends, than ever be-
fore.
Of the accompanist, Miss McHenry,
too much praise cannot be given. The
work assigned to her for the evening
was rather heavy, as the programme
was not only long, but at times pre-
scented very considerable difficulties,
and yet she filled her important part
to perfection and to her is due no small
amount of credit for the general success
achieved.
To the management and personnel of
the Musical Club congratulations are in
order, and the movement inaugurated
last evening to have the Song of the
Norns" repeated at the next open con-
cert will meet with the approval of that
considerable portion of musical Wheel
ing present at last evenings success.

dence of the mortality at that partlCu-
lar point At the foot and on the san
Juan Hill they were sown as thickly
as tenants in the Gods acre of popu-
Ious city.
BY permission of the American Gov
ernment disinterring has been carried
on in more or less desultory fashion
since last September. DESPITE the fact
that disturbance of graves in SEMI
tropical countries like Cuba is strictly
forbidden within five years from date
of burial, friends and undertakers
flocked to the Santiago battlefield,
armed with permits from the. War De-
partment at Washington, and removed
a number of bodies.
1t was only through the strenuous
efforts of General Leonard Wood that
yellow fever victims were left undis-
turbed. In one case an undertaken
from a Maine town insisted on diSin-
terring an officer who had died of vel
low fever, and he yielded only to force.
The hasty method of burial followed
during the excitement after the siege
naturally led to wrong Identification in
many cases. When convenient a bottle
containing a paper bearing the name,
regiment and company of the deceased.
was buried with him. Rude boards up
on which We're painted similar inform
alton were planted at the heads of the
mounds, but despitesthese precautions
the identity of the soldier often re-
manned problematical.
When delegation of Spanish officials
revisited Santiago for the purpose of
removing the remains of the brave de-
fender OF Ell Caney, General Vara del
Rey, they experienced great difficulty
in finding the grave. They were led by
a Cuban guide to a mound in the vi
cinity of the blockhouse, but on open
ing the grave disclosed to view the
remains of an army mule. 1t was a
despicable slur and insult cast upon
the memory of a gallant warrior by
natives, whose sense of refinement is
notably absent
In strong contrast to this is the pa
thetic sympathy felt by the living SOL
Giers around Santiago for their COM
rades in the trenches There are very
few graves on the battlefield that have
not been the object of tender care.
Decoration day has lasted many long
months in that part of Cuba.
This sympathy has been manifested
in strange ways and in unexpected
quarters. Last October a negro team
ster was discharged from the service
in Santiago as incOrrigible. He was a
native of South Carolina, and was a
peculiarly vicious specimen of vicious
class. He had been arrested and pun
ished so many times without effect that
his dismissal was finally ordered.
He was paid off-a poor little sum
and given pass on transport to the
United States. Sailing day this de-
praved negro visited all the shops in
Santiago and, buying as many Ameri-
can flags as his money permitted, went
out to the trenches and decorated a
number of soldier graves-b black, white
American and Spanish indiscriminately
Then he returned to his evil ways.

be, day set apart to do honor to our
heroic dead.
The day should be sacred as Gods
day-holy as Sunday-righteous as the
resurrection of Christ, for he needed
not the intercession and tender solici-
tude of humanity.
From the battlefield of Fredericks-
burg in 1863 to the Philippine Islands
in 1899 is a far signal but its colors
have foated all these years. The beau
tiful sentiment of a handful of South
ern women, mothers, wives and sisters.
who laid wreaths and flowers upon the
desolate graves after the Fredericks-
burg carnage, christened the custom
of memorial and hallowed it's remem-
brance. And now, wherever "Old
Glory may wave, whether rising over
native soil or striking colors against
the unfamiliar background of bamboo
and palm, the 30th of May will be OBJ
served with a new spirit, the patriotic
Offering of united people.
The American people to-day. live in
the prospect of a glorious future. a
future not only great for themselves
but fraught with happiness and liberty
to the downtrodden millions whom
their valor and justice have made free.
