ADJUSTMENTS.

HALEYS CONCERT-The Columbia
Theater was filled last night when the sec
ond Haley concert of the season was given.
The audience was wonderfully large con-
sidering the arctic conditions outside. Moth
ing deters the lovers of good music from
indulging the taste, and Haley's Band con-
certs have always proved popular. Last
night the organization was assisted by
three vocalists-Miss Mary Helen Howe,
Mrs. Wilson and Mr.. Beon Rizenstine. Mr..
o. Welu, solo violinist, also contributed
several numbers to the very interesting
program. An incident of the evening was
the preSen tation to Leader Haley of baton
made of a piece of the block house at San
Juan Hill, brought to this country by Prof.
w. r. Phillips, leader of the list District
Regiment Band. The baton was finished
with a MaLser cartridge on one end and
the cartridge of a Springfield rifle on the
other, an altogether valuable souvenir of
the Spanish-American war. Mr.. Phillips is
ncw 'cellist in Prof. Haley's band. The
program of the evening ranged in selections
from 'Tannhauser," Ole of the heavier
Wagnerian operas, down to the rag-time
melody of the day, AT a Georgia Camp
Meeting Mr.. Rizenstine was the first of the
soloists heard. He sang Calvary and sew
eral encores, displaying a basso voice of
rare softness. Miss Howe was heard first in
a cavatina from IN Trovatore," and for an
er core gave Il Dreamt l Dwell in Marble
Halls, both selections proving immensely
popular and being received with enthu-
siasm. Miss Howes splendid soprano,
true, clear and powerful was never heard
to better advantage. She gave "Of Course
as supplementary encore. Mrs. Wilson
has voice of remarkable sweetness, and
her rendition of two popular songs won
merted applause. She, too, was encored
time and again. Mr.. Welti's work with the
violin was of the first water.

bound hand and foot. A committee of four,
selected from the audience, stood about the
drawn curtains to see that there was no

Ored liquids from the same pitcher were
