1t Cannot BE Sarcasm.

The HoeIscher concert at Pilgrim
Congregational Church last evening
drew a fair sized audience. The pro-
gram was splendidly rendered and the
audience paid It's tribute of well-merited
applause to these talented musicians.
Mr.. Hoelschers mastery OF the flute
was never better illustrated. His selec-
tons brought OUT his splendid technique
and fine feeling, and Superior music
lovers accord him a place with the best
ever heard here Mrs. Hoelscher's pi-
ano numbers were very pleasing. The
vocal numbers of Mrs. Woodward and
Miss Donovan were up to the high ex
pectatIons raised by their former APP
pearances here and were enhanced by
the excellent accompaniment of flute
and piano. Altogether it was a delight
full musical treat, and Superior people
can heartily commend the company to
music lovers who may be fortunate
enough to have the opportunity to
hear it.
The aboveit item appeared iii the Eyen-
ing Telegram "Wednesday evening, the
day after the concert was billed, and a
similar one, though not quite SO effusiye,
greeted the eye Of the reader in the
morning paper of that date. Had the
concert taken place, the comments
would certainly have been deserved,
as all the people to appear are artists.
and very popular in the city, but the
facts are that owing to confusion of
dates and the many other attractions of
the evening, the audience gathered did
not warrant the rendering of the pro-
gram, and an announcement was made
that the concert would be given at some
future time. We trust that our Super
Tor people who claim to be SO fond of
high grade of music will be out in force
when the concert is next billed, and
that the reporters will be little more

reporting events so infinitely.

The Practical Desideratum in
South Africa.

Since the English will now surely
conquer the Transvaal and al-o the Or
ange Free State-w which, as an ally. has
thrown in its lot with the other repub-
lc-it is to be hoped that the inevitable
outcome may not be greatly delayed.
The more quickly the Transvaal can be
brought to submission, the less inno-
cent blood will be shed, and the less
the world at large will be disturbed by
this hideous crime against women and
children and the happiness of thou
sands of homes-a crime of which the
political leaders on both sides are gull
tv. II the Beers, the South African de-
scendants of the original Dutch emf
grants, had been progressive like the
descendants of the English colonies of
North America, they might have kept
control of the development of their
country, and brought about great in
dependent South African republic ex-
tending from Cape Town far to the
northward and from one ocean to the
other. But they have not proved equal
to the opportunity, and the English
have long since made themselves-no
in words alone, but in fact-the para
mount power In that part of the African
continent. Cape Colony, although I'M
der British sovereignty, is free and
governing republic, in a far more
satisfactory sense than is the Transvaal
under the rule of Paul Kruger, who has
held the mastery now for almost twenty
years, and who, if not quite as absolute
AZ a ear, is about as potent in affairs as
kaiser. When in the early future the
Transvaal has been annexed to the
British empire, there will probably
come about almost at once more mod
ern and complete government based
on the will of the majority than has
ever been there before. Only, of
course, it will be a majority of the pres
ent, rather than of the original, inhau

Another Man Drowned.

A man by the name of Herbert Tenn
pleton, employed by the crew on the
dredge Portage as boatman to carry
them back and forth from work, was
drowned Wednesday evening, and it
is supposed his boat was run down by
tug Had his boat not been found
with bad hole in it no trace of the
nan would ever have been had, but
the life saving crew at once began
search, and the body was recovered on
Thursday. The man was unmarried
and had relatives at Saginaw, Mich,
who have been notified, and the body
will probably be sent home today.
This is the fourth or Fl tn accidental
drowning at the dredges this season,
and it would seem that the men must
become very careless or thoughtless,
else SO many accidents would not hap
pen. 1t has often been remarked that
hardly any of the men employed know
how to swim, which, it would seem,
should almost be requirement before
passing an examination for such dang
erous work.

"PUDDENHEAD WILSON"

~ DUE y IL T. All w ILSON
The announcement that "Pudd' n
head Wilson" is to return to the Grand
Monday November 9th will awaken in
local theatre goers, memories of the
most delightful stage performances. The
late Frank Mayo occupied a unique
place i'll the history of the stage. For
a time he dropped comparatively out of
public notice, but even then he was not
forgotten, for who could forget the dar-
ing trapper who impersonated young
Lochinvar? After a period of semi-re-
trement. the Davy Crockett of young
er days appeared in "Pudd' nhead Will
son." To be sure we have read of the
quaint character conceived by Mark
Twain and curiosity was aroused to see
him in life even lift were on the mimic
stage. Interest grew and the quaint
characteristic of the LAWYER who has
spent the best years of his life pursu-
ing fad, became the vogue. People
of this city need no introduction to
"Pudd 'nhead Wilson," 1t has been
presented to them by the elder Mayo
and now the interest centers in the
title part which is assumed by Edwin
Mayo, his son. AT first it was thought
that no one could be found who would
take the lamented Mayo's place and
and that "Pudd' nhead Wilson, had
died with him; but such was not the
case. Reports from other cities give
the younger Mayo credit for having
duplicated his fathers success. This is
not to be wondered at for not only does
he resemble his father closely in per-
sonal appearance but is fortunate in
having had the benefit of that great
masters schooling. He was raised in
the atmosphere of the playhouse and
absorbed its traditions.

A Pen Sketch of Helen Gould.

In appearance Miss Gould is pleasing
without being noticeable in any way \
little under medium height. she has u
trim figure enhanced by extremely
well-fitting gowns, and her bearing is
easy and graceful. She usually wears
black or grav, being always well and
appropriately dressed, but never with
any ostentation. Her skin is rather
dark and she has not much color. Her
clear gray eyes often give the impress
sion OF being Elack, and invariably ex-
press her slightest emotions and lend
strength to her face, deepened as they
are by dark lash,s and eyebrows Tier
Her forehead is we'll shaped, and she
arranges her dark, slightly wavv hair
neither noticeably high nor low. Even,
pretty teeth add to her a,tractiveness
when she smiles. In manner she inn
presses one as refined and gracious. 4

help him, no prosecution will be insti
tuted.
