Feast OF MUSIC.
Enjoyed By Those Attending the
Sacred Cousert Last Night.

Shakespeare was rather hard en-
those who do not love music, de-
clarng that
1.-THE man who hath no music Ia himself.
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds,
j. fit for tressons. strataeei.s and spoils !;
The motions CT his spirit are dub as
night
And his affections dark as Frebus:
Let no such man be trusted"
While the reporter would not so
sueepingly condemn the man who
has 30 ear for music lit would not
be good policy anyway fer az edi-
tor, who does not enjoy the poets
license) yet it can in truth be said
that any who are blessed with a
true appreciation Of the concord
of sweet sounds" must have thor
oughly enjoyed the Sacred Concert
given at the Catholic Church last
night. It is rare that so many
really fine voices aud so much real
musical talent are displayed in an
amateur performance, as in that of
last night. The hearers undoubt-
edly enjoyed the music thorough
ly, though the fact Of their being
IN the sacred House Of God pre-
vented the applause which would
have rewarded the same perform
ers in s concert hall. The acoustic
effect of the arched Gothic ceiling
in the Pro- Cathedral is admirable,
SO that the singers voices easily
6lied the entire edifce. The light
Of the acetylene gas jets, supple
mented with myrisds Of wax can
dies in the glittering chandeliers
as we'll as the altar candles, made
the handsome and artistic interior
ef the church resplendent, a fitting
scene for the hearing of sach beau
tiful music.
We shall not copy the program,
bat viii endeavor TO do justice to
each individual feature in the fol
lowing Yes9me:
First to begin with was ;he
orchestra of the famous Aguilares.
The overture was excellent, while
the two subsequent selections from
Ernani aud Ii Trovatore were very
fne, the last being specially enjoy
ed.
"Memorare," chorus from Lam
bilIotts, gave rich promise Of later
enjoyment, from the many sweet
and strong voices blended har-
lnoniuusly in It's rendition.

Miss Maggie Tilghman. who also
later on pleased the audience with
another solo Awake my soul to
joyful lays, "by Wiegand, which
suited her voice very we'll
Regret and Hope" organ solo,
from zoncada, was very we'll rem
dered by that accomplished per
former, Miss Nagdaiena Fernan-

Abt's ever beautiful "Jesus
Lover of Ny Soul" by Mrs. C. Il.
AyreS of Fort Brown, was render
ed with exquisite expression, Mrs.
Ayres' voice possesses natural
qualities Of high order and is
also very we'll cultivated. Another
number later in the evening by the
same sweet singer was the Solo

which was sung with equal beauty.
An orgsu and violin duet by Mrs.

SOURCE OF THE zAMBEsI.
Ehe AIighty African River Is at Last
Traced to Its Starting
Point.

The London Daily Nails special cor
respondent sends the first news of the
success of the expedition under Maj
Colin Harding, C. NJ. g., acting Brit
ish resident of Barotseland, to explore
the upper reaches of the Zambesi and
its tributaries. This highly impor-
tant and interesting news was sent
by express runner to Nyakatoro, and.
thence to London.
The expedition started from Vic
toria Falls in November last, and pro
ceeded in native boats to the Marun-
da-a-ma-Kesh cataracts, which they
located in latitude 11:3S:o0 south and
longitude 23:53:O east. This point
was only reached after greatest hard
ships. Two of their boats capsized,
leaving the party without meat and
short of ammunition in a not too
friendly country. Being unable to
shoot game, they were compelled to
subsist on mango and manieo. The
Marunda cataracts, not previously To-
Gated, are described as small, but one
of the prettiest bits of scenery on the
Zambesi.
Leaving the boats at this point, the
party proceeded on foot up the left
Oduk O1 The GHSiI bCAhSs
impeded by heavy rains, treacherous
boys and the necessity of obtaining
food from the natives. AT length a
plateau was reached at an elevation
of 1850 feet. Here, under the shadow
of gigantic leafy trees, the explorers
were overioyed to discover seven bub-
bling springs, which, uniting, formed
the source of the mighty Zambesi
river on its course of 1900 miles
through Africa.
After careful observation, this
source was located at a latitude
11:33:45 south and longitude 2O:51:O
east. From here the party travelled
to Nyakatoro, where they separated,
Maj. Harding proceeding westward to
Portuguese territory, and his secre-
tary, n. H. Harding, returning to the
Kings karal in Barotseland, at Lialui,
where is also the British residency.
In spite of fever attacks, brought
on by the constant exposure and
scarcity of food, the Europeans of the
party were all well at the moment
of our dispatch leaving. This was
sent down from Lialui to Sheshelze,
where in 1860 Livingstone planted a
garden at the falls. The observations
at the Zambesi's source were made
under difficulties and without a chron-
ometer, but n. Fl. Harding considers
them to be fairly accurate.

INDIAN GIRLS IN PARADE.
Roosevelt Received Unique Welcome at
Chamberlain, :. D.-COl. Grigsbv's Sol
diers Formed the Escort

Chamberlain, S. D., Sept. 13.-When
the Roosevelt train arrived here
Wednesday a company of rough
riders, who were members of Col
Grigsby's Third regiment, was at the
station with large part of the in
habitants of the town and surround
ing country. A wagonload of full
blooded Indian maidens formed a
part of the parade and a brass band
composed entirely of young Indians
led the procession, which escorted
Gov. Roosevelt and his party to the
speakers stand. Gov. Roosevelt, not
being able to get near enough to the
mounted men, jumped over the rail-
ing of the stand to the ground and
was soon among them. "I would like
to stay here all day." he exclaimed
with delight as he again mounted
the platform preliminary to making
bis short speech. The men appeared
equally well pleased and cheered and

WILD NIGHT ON THE LAKE.
PaSseneers on a Lake Michigan Steamer
offered Prayers of Thanksgiving
When Land Was Sighted.

Milwaukee, Sept. 13.-Battered and
damaged by the terrible gale that
swept over Lake Michigan last night
the seamer Flint and Pere Mar
quette No. 4 arrived in port Wednes-
day morning, after one of the mar
rowest escapes from disaster ever
experienced by a passenger steamer
on the lake. Thirty of her passengers
were more or less injured. Prayers
of thanksgiving went up from the lips
of every passenger when land was
finally sighted. Probably no steamer
ever went through wilder night on
the lake and survived. Almost every
window in the cabin was broken,
while the cabinet was one mass of
broken timbers, broken chairs and
general debris. The life RATS were
blown to pieces and hurled through
the windows of the cabin where
were congregated all the passengers.
Scarcely one escaped injury.

But she grieved terribly over her con-

LITTLE LADY OF PEKING.
From the Chinaman's Point of View,
If Not from Ours, His Empress
Is Perfection.

''The Chinese empress does not
meet completely the Anglo-Saxon de
mand for female beauty" writes
Poultney Bigelow, in the Woman's
Home Companion, "but then the Chi
naman is not wholly satisfied with
our type, and on sound democratic
principles the Celestial has some color
for his opinion, seeing that he is one
of 400, OOO,0 900, while our ideal repre-
sents but $4,000, 900. Personally, it is
hard for me to appreciate beauty in
one who is short and fat; whose feet
are the size of salt cellars; whose
flesh has the modelling of a bolster;
whose eyes are oblique, and whose
natural skin is overlaid with white
and red paste. Yet what I am pleased
to consider my taste is, from the Chi
naman's point of view, merely out
landish prejudice; and on the STAN
dards prevailing in Picking the dow.
ager empress is easily one of the
handsomest women, exercising a per-
sonal fascination which entities her
to rank with such heroines as Gather
inc of Russia or Queen Louise of Ger
many. And as to antiquity of pedi-
gree, the Romanoffs and HohenzolI-
ems are mere upstairs in dynastic
enterprise compared with the power
in Pekng, which draws it's authority
directly from celestial sources in pre-
historic eras.
LET US then admit at the outset
that in the matter of birth, beauty
and political power the dowager en-
press of China eclipses not merely
anything of its kind in Europe, but
throws into the shade anything
dreamed of in this fair country of
ours, whose boast it is that we have
set the standard for sovereign wom-
an The Cninaman in general is COM
pleteIy convinced that in all that con-
stitutes higher civilization he is the
superior of the white man. He has
invented more different kinds of me-
chanical Improvements than all the
rest of the world put together; his
wise men were masters of science
when Europe was a howling wilder
ness; no other country has held to-
gether so long as this huge empire,
and its subjects not unnaturally COM
clude that such grand results must
have sprung from institutions whose
excellence is unrivaled elsewhere. OF
these institutions the highest expon-
ent is the dowager empress and her
party"

KRUGER A PRISONER.
Transvaal's Former President Viz
tually in Hands of British.
He Il in the Residence of the District Cow
ernor at Lourenzo Marques and Denied
Communication with His Omcials
Martial Law Declared.

London, Sept. 15.-According to the
Lourenzo- Marques correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph Mr.. Kruger is
virtually a prisoner in the. residence
of the district governor. This is at
the instance of the British consul,
who protested against Mr.. Kruger
using Portuguese territory as a base
for directing his executive. The
French consul has been forbidden ac-
cess to Mr.. Kruger, as have also the
latter's own officials. The district
governor hes notified Herr Pott, the
Netherlands consul, that he (Pott),
who had acted as the Boer consular
agent at Lourenzo Marques, can no
longer be recognized as a representa-
tive of the Transvaal, which is now
British territory.
Lord Roberts has proclaimed martial
law over the entire Transvaal repub-
lie, now known as the Vaal River col
ony.
In the proclamation Lord Roberts
says:
1t is probably unknown to the inhabit-
ants of the TransvaaI and the Orange
River colony that nearly 1900 of their
fellow subjects are now prisoners of war,
not one of whom will be released until
those now under arms against US sur
render Internationally. The burghers
must be cognizant of the fact that no
intervention in their behalf can come
from any of the great powers. and fur
ther, that the British empire is determined
to complete the work which has already
cost so many lives and carry to a con-
clusion the war declared against her by
the late governments of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State, a war to
which there can only be one ending. The
means am compelled to adopt are those
which the customs of war prescribe as ap-
plicable to such cases. They are ruinous
to the country, entail endless suffering
to the burghers and their families, and
the longer this guerrilla warfare con-
tinues, the more vigorously must they be
enforced.
Will Declare a State of Peace.
London, Sept. 15.-The imperial gov
eminent, says the Cape Town CORE
spondent of the Standard, intends at
an early date to declare a state of
peace in South Africa and to issue
proclamation that Beers refusing to
lay down their arms will be treated
as outlaws.
