took place last night in the Sunday school
house. adjacent to the church, and a salts
factory and varied program was presented

eral banjo duets with their accustomed
technical skill; Mr.. w. H. Conley pleased
the audience with several comical dialect
songs: Mr.. Jasper Dean McFall sang
"Where'er You Walk" by Handel, setting
off his baritone voice to advantage. A
French horn solo by Prof. 3. Baumgarte
of the Marine Band was greatly enjoyed
One of the most enjoyable features of the
evening was a soprano solo by Mrs. Thos

voice is so well known that the audience
apparently expected to be enthused when
she appeared. Her performance fully justi-
fed the applause bestowed upon her. Mr.
w. D. Netherlands tenor voice is always
appreciated, and he did himself full justice
last evening. Miss Edna Scott Smith sang
Love in Spring Time" by Arditl, accom-
panied by Prof. Bischoff, and her rendition
was all that could be desired. Miss Helen

lections The program closed with a duet
by Messrs. McFall and Mcfarland, whose
voices blended tremendously. The concert

otherwise, and was in keeping with the pre-

New Consumption Cure

Physicians are manifesting deep inter-
est in cure for consumption known as
Tincture Anal. which, 1t is claimed has al
ready cured patients whose lives were de-
SPARED of, and that it has been used for
some time in hospitals and by physicians
who knew of it, who report great success
with it in regular practice, after the medi-
cines usually prescribed had proved inef-
fective. 1t is said that the new remedy
has been thoroughly tested in this country
and in Europe, with satisfactory results
and that physicians who are ordinarily pre-
JUDGED against remedies of this character
admit that it actually does what is claimed
for it

The Trade Invasion,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
With reference to what appears in your
valuable paper of this date under the head
ing of THE Invasion of Great Britain
editorial notes., might / be allowed to
point out to you that at present the engin-
eering departments of all leading British
work shops are so filled up with orders for
present as well as for future delivery that
so far from accepting fresh contracts, mas
tiers are finding the greatest difficulty in
fulfilling what they already have on hand
and are, consequently, refusing countless
orders. | have no knowledge whatever as
regards the order given out by the NUM-
cipality of Glasgow to an American firm
but l may say that at the time when the
contract for the Atbara bridge was placed
in this country L was informed, from a
very good source, that none of the leading
or responsible firms in Great Britain had
replied 10 the circular. as the pressure I'M
great. Indeed, any of the firms that would
have been inclined to accept this contract
were only willing to do SO at high figure
as many We're seeking to place contracts at
advanced prices.
In proof of what l write I would bep
to refer you to the shipbuilding returns or
to any one who has tried to have a vessel
built in any of the good British yards. 1t
VIII De found That builders, besides asking
higher prices. hold out for more time this
being proof, to my reasoning of the busy
times that are being experienced in Great
Britain. 1t is therefore unnecessary for
masters there to accept anything at a keen
quotation.
After all, and in any case. I am exceed-
ingly well pleased that these orders shou d
have come to this country. Allowing that
l should always ike to see Great Britain
having the best of things, l prefer that the
United states should be second best"
