STAR.
The Star initiated a clever set of vau-
deviile artists last night, who will richly
entertain and amuse large crowds
throughout the week. In it's respective
sphere the gravest tragedy could do no
more toward fulfilling its mission than

THOMAS CONCERTS
When Mr.. Theodore Thomas closes his
engagement at the Peoples church this
tine he will have given ten concerts in
that auditorium. This is an average of
one year for every year of his direc-
ton of the orchestra. The interest has
increased with the years, but so has the
power, delicacy and balance of the Or
chestra.
1t has become with the lapse of seasons
like one great instrument, on which the
master plays with infinite variety and
skill.
The seat sale opens this morning at
WI. Dyer & Bros music store and in
quiries indicate that the crowds will be
larger this year than ever before.
