CONCERT
TO MISS FALLON
O'Brien's Was Packed With a
Large and Fashionable
Audience.

Certainly the largest and most successful,
and probably the best amateur concert ever
given in Birmingham was the benefit per-
Torrance given last night to Miss Alice
Fallon. O'Brien's opera house was fairly
overlooking with friends of the gifted
young lady for whom the concert was
given; even tho gallery was crowded with
ladies and gentlemen, who were unable to
get seats below. And 1t is very seldom
that Birmingham secs together such splen-
did vocal and instrumental artists.
Miss Fallon received a great ovation
from the audience, not only because they
were all her friends, but also on accounted
her magnificent voice. She has a sopraro
voice of great sweetness and power 1t Is
her intention to complete her musical edu-
cation in New York and Europe, and the
very brightest future lies in store for her.
Miss Fallon was dressed~in pure white,
which set off her brunette beauty admra-
bly,.
The following is the programme carried
OUT
Overture-Apollo Orchestra.

Spinning Song from the Flying Dutch
man." Miss Fallon, Mrs. Sinnige, Miss
Kern and Miss Houston
Every number on the programme was ex-
ceptionally well rendered, and all of them
We're literally applauded. They were all
musicians who deserved appause. But out
side of the singing of Miss Fallon there
were two other numbers which the au-
dience seemed to enjoy especially. One was
the wonderful playing, with his left hand
alone, of Mr.. Denck. His transcription of
''Then You'll Remember Me" was splendid.
Mr.. Denck is noted all over the country for
his remarkable one hand playing Mr..
Denck was also the accompanied for most
of the numbers, though Miss Corrie Hand
ley played several of the accompaniment.
Another number which the audience SEEM
ed to enjoy very much was the selection
from Joan of Arc" by Miss Houston. 1t
is not often that Birmingham hears such
a contralto voice Miss Houston's.
The following card of thanks appeared on
the programmes:
81 wish to extend my sincere thanks ito
my friends who have contributed to the
success of my concert, and assure them
one and all of my deep appreciation of their
kind interest"

AUDITORIUM ACOUSTICS
Tested Yesterday and Found Perfect
Full Rehearsal There Next Week.

Yesterday Prof. Benz. Guckenburger, d.
rector of the May Festival, visited the
Auditorium, where the festival is to be held,
for the purpose of testing the acoustics of
the vast building He had thought that
shell or sounding board would have to be
constructed over the stage, in order that
the music of the chorus might be thrown
to the audience, but finding that the
acoustics were perfect, decided that
sounding board would be unnecessary.
1t is Prof Guckenburger's intention to
have one of the festival rehearsals next
week in tho Auditorium.

CHARITY WORK
Reports of Officers of the United Asso-
citation.

The good work of the United Charities for
the first quarter of 1899, ending March 81, IS
shown by the reports of the officers, which
have just been issued.
During the quarter 2S3 families have been
assisted. These families contain a total
number of 74S persons, and assistance was
given for various reasons, principally sick
ness, which was the cause in 104 cases.
Much distress and suffering was relieved
by the society, which dispensed provisions
coal, medicine, clothing, shoes and other
necessities to poor persons who applied for
assistance. Forty railroad tickets were
furnished to persons wanting to leave the
city.
The treasurer's report shows the finances
of the society to be in fairly good condi-
ton.

Owns the Gaze City Property

But this is not the only property which
the syndicate owns. A week or two ago,
all the property of the Gate City Land
company was bought in, and it Is almost
a settled fact that the Richmond Syndi-
cate are now the owners. On the Gate
City property are very valuable mineral de-
posits, which will offer splendid mining ia
cilities. The syndicate is also known to
be buying up other coal and ore lands,
though their exact situation is not
known.

VIII Start on Large Scale

Although nothing positive has been
given out yet, it is said that the company
intends going into the making of iron and
steel on a large scale They certainly have
not been making all these purchases for
fun.
1t is said that first the present Mary
Pratt furnace which has been out of OPP
Grafton for a number of years, will be put
in repair and its output increased. Also
that another still larger blast furnace with
a capacity of from 200 to $50 tons will be
erected. Another report is that five hun
dred ton steel plant will be erected near
the IRON furnaces, to consume their entire
output. There are more rumors of a BIZ
product plant for burning the furnace S
coke, and for supplying fuel gas to sur
rounding industries. OF course, however,
the syndicate has not given out any of its
plans. what its real intentions are as yet,
but they are more or less speculative.

A small but appreciative audi
ence listened to. the address of Rev.
E. O. Stewart on Christian Citi-
zenship in the M. E. Church last
evening. The speaker is enthusi-
astic in his work, and has little
difficulty in imparting his zeal to
those who hear him. He limited
his remarks to that phase of Chris
tianity and Citizenship that is
found in prohibition. The indict-
ment brought against the Christ
ians of a community was strong
and made many think that if they
only did their duty. many changes
would occur. Those who missed
hearing this young man missed q
real treat.
