has just returned from several months
visit in Europe. She had been studying
the Sbreliglia method of music and decided
to goto Europe in order to receive instruc-
lions from Sbreliglia. While in Paris she
also studied under Nine Laborde, and
other noted Partisan teachers. The French
Press speaks very highly of Mrs. Turner's
success. Some years ago Mrs. Turner went
to London to take course in the Royal
Academy of Music. The Nea0 England
Home Magazine of Jan. s, published by
the Boston Sunday Journal, contains
fine portrait of Mrs. Turner and pays a
| high tribute to her success as a singer.

The Orleans County Musical Association
is to hold it's annual festival at Newport
February 6-10. The conductor is to be
Prof. I'll. r. Palmer of New York, who has
fine reputation with the association, both
as teacher of young singers and leader
of advanced ones. Blaisdells orchestra is
to be present, with Mr.. Nevers, the cornet
soloist in charge, and first-class work may
be expected. Miss Alice,Walter Bates of
New York, the pianist, has been the ac-
companist for the Florida Chautauqua
for three years, and has given unbounded
satisfaction. She has played many times
with DR.. Palmer as conductor and is
worthy successor of Martha Dana Shop
ard. Mr.. Julian Walker. the soloist, is
Gu0 DaSSO Oh Ir1u1ty cnurc1, New
City, and has a deep, cultivated voice. |
The people were all so well pleased last
year with the soprano, Miss LueIla Wagner
of New York, that she has been engaged |
for this year. Miss Clifford of Boston is to |
be the reader and she will have no small |
share in making the festival success.
The lecture given by Rev. II. M. Whar-
ton on cups and Downs Of Life.'' at
Sewers hall last Wednesday evening was
one of the most entertaining ever given
here. Mr.. Wharton is man of splendid
appearance, and most pleasing manner,
and his descriptions of the cups and
Downs"of everyday life could not help but
please all. His opening remarks drew
the close attention of the audience and
they followed him to the end heartily
applauding him throughout the evening.
This lecture differed somewhat from
many we have had here but that all en-
joyed it was plain to see. It was expected
that Geo. KEENAN, would give the next
lecture of the course on the ''Siberian Con-
Wet Mines,' but he has been sick for
some time and in order to fill an engage
ment which he has with a Magazine Pub
fishing company he is obliged to cancel
his other engagements. The association
is corresponding with several bureaus to
get good man to fill the engagement and
they do not as yet know who it
is to be there is no doubt but that they
Will get some one who will be satisfactory
to all.
Rev. J. <. Fuller of Barton Landing
spoke at the Cong. church last !evening in
exchange with Rev. r. L. Sheaff. The sub
ject of the sermon was ''Foreign missionary
work as illustrated by the war with Spain.''
Texts: Psalms 2:9, lisa. 600, Mark 6:15.
Mr.. Fuller evidently believes in expansion
with his whole heart, and that the late
war has opened wide the doors for great and
wonderful Christian work in these new
possessions. In several statements he took
the ground taken by others. These people
need our Christian civilization, and the
way has been opened to ego in and possess
the land'' in the name of Christ Believ-
ingsthat God was in this war, he said,
''The event at Manila will be as much OF
God as the landing of the Pilgrims, or the
victory of Bunker Hill. 1t is Of the same
divine order and significance, and our
sons and daughters will live to see this
proved. Some say that the work
is too much; the missionary society would
be in the same awful predicament of the
old woman who lived in a shoe; yes, but
the old woman wasn't overwhelmed by
her numerous progeny; she took good care
of them all, and who is he that dare say
that this nation, guided by the providence
that has followed her since the Mayhower
struck Plymouth Rock, to the time the
treaty of peace was signed amid hand
shaking and tears a few days ago, shall
falter or fail in the trust, and in this, her
