MUSICAL MENTION.

The music rendered by the Misses keick-
hoefer at the reception given at the Cairo
last Tuesday evening by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bishop was one of the noteworthy musical
events of the season. This was their first
appearance in Washington since their re-
turn from Europe some years ago. Their
program was entirely classical, but not
of the severe order. Miss Anna surprised
all by her mastery violin work, playing
Bazzinis fantaisie, "Calabrese,' with such
skill to call forth rounds of applause.
Her technical ability was still further dis
played in her rendition of the presto move
ment of Haydns THO. Miss Marie, eldest
Of the trio, charmed every one with her
cello playing. In the Van Goens Scherzo
she gave exhibition of technical skill
that excited the admiration of the audience
By request she played a banjo solo, Home,
Sweet Home" which from the popular
standpoint was the hit of the evening. Miss
Bernardine had no opportunity to display
her abilities as a solo pianist, but one could
easily judge from her playing of the Gade
Haydn and Rubinstine trios that she is in
nowise less accomplished than either of her
sisters. While these young ladies are we'll
qualified as solOists 1t was very evident
that in ensemble work they are entitled
to be ranked as artists.
The Misses Kieckhoefer returned to New
York Thursday morning to fill an engage
ment on that night, having visited the Sun
day Night Music Club at Mrs. Doubleday's
residence Wednesday evening taking part
in club playing and as soloists. as Well as
renewing tn, acquaintance of some of the
members who had known the young ladies
here as children. before they went abroad
for study of their respective Instruments
cello, violin and piano.
The Sunday Night Music Club played, as
usual, the program consisting of Cher,l-
blnf's Wassertrager overture, Berlioz's
Marche Hongroise; Minuet and VaIse des
Sylphes, from La Damnation de Faust:"
Listz's Rakoczy March, and two move
ments from Schubert's quartet Op. 181
all arranged for four hands piano and a set
of strings. Miss Lucia Nola sang Pieta
Signore from "Stradella;" There Is q
Green Hill Far Away" (Gounod), and Bee

Request Denied.

The request of Mr.. NJ. NJ. Parker for the
condemnation Of an alley in block y,
Bloomingdale, has been denied by the Dis
trict Commissioners. The Commissioners
believe the granting of the request would
be the establishment of an unfortunate pre-
cedent, and because they think when the
remainder of the block is subdivided the
value of an alley will be recognized by the
other owners, and will then be provided.

We call attention to the new ad. of
tie Union Hardware Company this
week. Mr.. Fred Garner, one Of our
hustling and energetic young nIen is ia

new weekly. Mr.. Garner is the youngest

cerp, and this is another illustration of
the fact that our young men are coming
to the front.
The work on tie hotel is progressing
idly and the general appearance is be-
ginning to show up to fine advantage. The

Col. A. G. Jones, of Newberry, was
on out streets Saturday. Mr.. Jones
is well known throughout the State as
one Of the main movers of the Prohi-
bition campaign last year. He says
he sees no reason why the Prohibition
ticket should not win in the next
election. Ii the party had many such
enthusiastic and hustling supporters
as Mr.. Jones, it would give some one
a hot job to beat it,.
Mr.. Frank Peake, one of our most
progressive young farmers, dropped
