Miss Mollie Adelia Browns evening
of music last night at the Congrega

music lovers who remained away miss

nervous, causing her in some Of her
middle tones to fiat several times. But,
this was so trivial blemish in such
wealth of vocal beauty, that it is easily
condoned. Miss Browns voice is a per-
fectly developed, pure soprano, of broad
register, ample volume and fine quality
and it is handled with notable skill. Her
upper tones are remarkably far up the
scale above the staff-we will not ven
ture to say just where-and are as clear
and liquid there as in the lower divi-
sions of her register. 1t is flexible
and a sympathetic voice; not one of
dramatic quality, though its vigor of
expression is notable; but there are
feeling, sensibility, intelligence and
heart in her work. She sings with lit
tie apparent effort, has no annoying
mannerisms, and has upon the concert
stage an attractive and confident, but
not an over assertive presence. Her
management is excellent. She under
stands precisely what she can do and
hence there is precision and no hest
fancy in her attack. Miss Brown, in
brief came among strangers unaided
by social eclat and not puffed extrava-
gantly, and she won by merit and the
purity, sweetness and expressiveness of
a natural gift which only the few pos

crowd the house-and it could scarcely
be expected after such a round of con-

critical one, recognized instantly the
ability Of this gifted soprano and gave

first place in the estimation of the au-
dienee, which gave him plaudits not ac-

most graceful, composed and modest of
players but that is not to signify that
his work is n-assertive or lacking in
vigor. He is a master and scholarly
player, and that embraces all possible

merit. The concert was an entire sue

TWO MORE BALLOTS.

situation. The members of the Legisla-

and there was no change-apparently
no thought of change. Senator Leavitt,
probably for a reason known to him
self, demanded a second ballot after
the first had resulted as usual, and he
was humored. At the conclusion Of the
second, however he had enough, and
admitted it by moving to adjourn.
Again he was humored. The ballots

totals, there is little doubt of the jus
tice of the claims made by our experts
for the fourth place in the rank of
naval Powers. This claim, of course,
depends upon the standards of measure
ment applied, but taking those generally
adopted, it can be said that England is
far and away first. France is next, but
at long distance; Russia, third, fairly
close to France; the United States
fourth, and Germany fifth. Italy has

MANNING THE FLEET.
The Navy Department asked for 90

to man the actual and prospective fleet,
and Congress authorized II 600 in all.
The intention was not to enlist this
total, but to be in the position of Sc
curing it in the event of a sudden
emergency The actual demands would
probably not exceed $4,000 enlisted
men of the seamen, artificer and special
classes, and this was thoroughly under
stood by Congress.
The number authorized before the
war was about II, 800, but this was in
adequate for the proper manning Of the
ships three years ago. When it is re-
membered that navies are increasing in
all types of ships the sizes of the crews
our demand was a very moderate one,
notably when it is compared with the
one hundred thousand and more men
afloat under the British naval flag. To
own ships is surely a safe insurance
against danger, but of what use are
ships if the men to work and fight on

THE WARWICK ESTATES"
A Noble Earl and His Countess
Form a Stock ComDanY.

The fashion recently set by Lord Mon
tagu of Beaulieu, and his heir, when
they turned themselves with their as
sets and liabilities into a joint stock
company, is now being initiated by the
Earl and Countess of WARWICK The
alleged reason for the previous opera
ton was a desire to avoid the death
duties. In the case of the Warwick
estates it is evidently something of
more pressing nature that has to be pro-
vided for, seeing that the debentures
now offered for public subscription are
repayable, as to three-ffthS on the
death of the Earl and as to the remain
ing tWO-fifths ON the death of the Coun-
tess. This businesslike couple have en-
tered into arrangements to sell their
entire sources of income to a company
to be called the Warwick Estate Com
pany, Limited, for the sum of f295, 600
payable as to f215,O0O in cash and as
to tSO,OOO in fully paid shares, the lat
ter comprising two thirds of the total
share capital of the company, of which
t334, 800 is reserved for future issue. The
cash is to be mainly provided out of the
proceeds of a present debenture stock
issue of t21O,0O0, carrying interest at
the rate of per cent and secured by a
specific first mortgage to trustees of rhe
life interest of the Earl in his Warwick
shire estates, a freehold estate with coll
leries in Somesetshire, and the Coun-
tess settlements secured by her Essex
and Leicestershire estates Insurance
policies have been taken out on the two
lives separately, involving an annual
premium charge upon the company of

Think a moment, and you will re-

Therefore, when any parts show
decay (teeth for instance) before the

of the certain elements in the food
that keep them renewed each day,

Certain field grains contain the

but quickly accepts it when furnished
in the condition it is found in the
grains, l. e., direct from Natures own

the breakfast food known as Grape
Nuts, and one may depend that the
regular use of this food will insure the
introduction into the body of such
