Good Work.

The concrete walk recently laid in
front Of Walter Chedic's place of bust
ness is by far the best piece of work in
that line yet done in this city. The
cement itself is over three inches thick
and is on a foundation of rock, sand
and cement eighteen inches thick.
The walk will outlast the owner and is
a good example of what can be done
by home labor. Messrs. Mara and
Williams did the work and parties in
tending to use this sort of work will do
well to consult them.

al 'hUr tun EWeyk, One of the
Greatest OF BaritOnes.
The conditions under which the artists
series OF concerts will open next Satur-
day evening are most suspicious and an
unqualified success for the series is
oplned. Much is expected of Arthur Van
EWeyk, the baritone because it is def
initely known that he holds high rank
where audiences are very cultured and
critics severe. In Berlin, London and
other European capitals this singer has
made a lasting name for. himself, and
now he comes to America to ascertain
what the country holds of musical ap-
probation.
He has come without ostentation to
sing for the American public. Americans
are, however,. slow to accept any singer
on the praise of Europeans, even though
they lift up their voices with one accord
in his behalf
ThouSh Mr.. Van Eweyk has not yet
made his formal debut in this country, he
has appeared privately once or twice and
has made a deep impression upon the
prominent musicians and critics who have
heard him, They say that he has the
magnetism which thrills and inspires, and
the art which serves to set forth the
treasures of a voice of peculiarly fine
quality and surprising fullness of tone
Nine Minnie Fish-Griffin will, in Sat
urday evenings concert, make her initial
appearance in st. Paul A St. Paul mu-
stefan said the other day that ever since
she had heard this singer, when she was
soloist for the Thomas orchestra, she
had wished for an opportunity to hear
and see her again, such was the beauty of
her voice and the attractiveness of her
personality.
To many the cello is the most interest
ing and attractive of all Instruments.
Mr.. Diestel, who is the instrumentalist
OF the concert, is a remarkably fine
'celolist, and his share in the programme
will be watched for with interest.
For this concert, the opening one of
the series, the sale of seats will be open
at o'clock this morning at Howard, Far
