 The string quartette, embracing all tie male members of the club. played some exquisite selections, especially the "Ride of the Hussar," "Mice Before Trap" and the accompaniment to the prima donna's encore "Girls of Seville in which Miss Biederman, the handsome soprano, was particularly pleasing ss we'll as in her more difficult solos Every artist is soloist and possibly the best received was MT Blodeck in his solos on the cello and viol da gamba MT Richard Stoelzer played beautiful solo-an intermezzo by Mascagni-on the viola d. Amour. Mir Otto Lund proved himself violinist of rare ability, and in his solo-s fantaisie by Allard- and the encore, he executed with appar- ent ease some of the most difficult pas- sages for the violin. Herr Theodore Hoch, the cornet virtuoso, sustained his reputation and in his solos on the cornet, the Alpine echo horn and the Roman triumphal trumpet he gave evi. dence of great lung power and ability.

MRS MARY WATSON WARD.

On Sunday last. January h, at her residence in Hartford, Conn, Mrs Mary Watson Ward passed to her rest. She was stricken suddenly with spoplexy on the street on the Monday previous and sinking into inconsistencies her life gradually slipped away.
 Mir Ward was born in here in Canaan, educated here and lived here most of her life SO that none need that we should recount its details. Many trials and beresvements came to her even from girlhood; but she met them with the courage and strength which come of Gods grace and resolute character. Bearing her own burdens likewise made her strong to help her friends bear theirs. Her vigorous personality found its best expression in her own home where with energy and devotion she never merely directed but always show ed the way. h tue church and the community she had her own sphere Of action and strove to fill 1t conscientious ly.
 Few who did not know her we'll are aware of her deep interest in acquiring general information. She read beyond the average on subjects touching an tiquities which seemed to fsscinate her. Many a poor soul will miss the cheery face. the sympathetic word. the gener- ous hand which relieved their hunger and clothed their nskedness.
 All that remains of our departed friend was laid to rest m our Canaan cemetery yesterday. and as we commit her body to the ground we commend her soul to God who gave it, praying Grant her eternal rest O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon her."

A CRITIC CAUGHT.

Hi. Opinion Wa. Candid, but Not
 Quite Correct.
 "This is the third time that have called" said the budding playwright to one of those professional critics who make suggestions, whip things into shape, praise, condemn, talk knowingly and charge exorbitantly for their al- legged services "It took you good deal less time to decide that two of my former efforts were 'callow' and made quate. Whats the matter now?"
 "I've given this latest play from your pen a great deal of patient and critical thought" in suited and pom pous tone. ''It bears many evidences of genius and is full of promise. But it is crude, my dear boy-at certain points alarmingly crude, don't you know. It is what might term your architectural work that is deficient. You are prolific in beautiful and original ideas, but you don't put them together we'll, under stand. You lack continuity and con- struction, so to speak. But don't be dis couraged, my dear boy. Here is the manuscript. Work it over. You have the parts. Work out the harmonious whole"
 Then the budding playwright took the manuscript. He united the pink knot and muttered as to himself, "Full of promise, "Alarmingly crude, Beautiful ideas, 7" "Lack of continu- ity, Brilliant career" and then @ roar of anger as he spread the sheets be- fore the astounded critic. Not a word had been written on them. The roll was blank paper, and the critic was trapped beyond the hope of escape. 1T have caught youp shouted the playwright. "I have had my comedy. Now for tragedy" There were crash of glass, q shriek and critic flying through the air. A minute later he emerged from a snowbank unburt and "stood off" the broom boy who brushed him at the nearest barber shop. - Detroit Free Press.
