AN EXCELLENT CONCERT.
Given at Lyceum Last Evening by
the Sextette Club.

The music-lOving public was out in
force last evening, despite the inclem-
ency of the weather, and it completely
filed the Lyceum, where a concert was
given by the Bostonia SeXtette club,
assisted by Miss Helen Wetmore So
prano.
The programme was exclusively
musical, and that this city is living up
to its reputation as n centre of music
was evidenced by the intense interest
shown by the large audience, and the
proverbial pin, if dropped at any time
during the evening, would have un-
doubtedly been heard.
The SeXtette club is composed of six
musicians, five playing stringed instru-
ments and the sixth a clarionet. They
rendered several selections in harmony,
but varied their programme by giving
solos and triOs. Their best appreci-
ated number was, probably, a selection
from "Mignon," which was given in
faultless style.
Miss Wetmore gave two soprano
solos, one with a clarionet obligato.
She is possessed of a clear, full soprano
of quite extensive range.
Those who com Prise the Sextette club
are the following; Walter f. Loud,
violin; Louis Eaton, violin; w. A.
Hochheim, viola; Wulf Fries, cello;
Alfred Reinhart, bass; c. L. Stats,
clarionet

JUSTICE TO THE JEW.
Lecture by the Famous Pulpit Ora
tor. Madison G. Peters, D. D.

Rev. Madison c. Peters will deliver
his great lecture, Justice to the Jews"
in the auditorium Of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church, Thursday evening, Nov
16. The worldwide sympathy with the
French Captain Dreyfus has drawn the
attention of the civilized world to con-
slider the injustice to the Jewish people
as n race, and DR.. Peters has just is
sued a new book telling the wonderful
story of what the Jew has done for the
world.
He has prepared a thrilling lecture
on this topic, concerning which the
Boston Press says: at Is broad, wise,
LIBERAL eloquent and statesmanlike." ="
Rev. Dr. Peters is a prominent Pres
byterian clergyman, yet his fearless
and manly defense of the Jewish peo-
pie has won for him the admiration Of
all lovers of justice, and secured for
him the love of many Jews. Justice
to the Jew" is something new in the
lecture field, and DR. Peters will doubt
less have large hearing in this city.
