The Concert Tonight.

Those OF our citiz..ns who fail to attend
the performance O the Boston Concert
Company rsri@i,t viii miss rare treat.
The Vio!inis;, Beruhardt Walther, is the
finest soioist who has ever rlayed in the
State. He ranks with Ys"ye, Ole Bull
and Reuenyi. THIS performance OF
Sarasates bonanza has been rarely
equalled, and not only does he excel il
classic, hut he can play the popular mel
odies of the day as it said no other violin
list could since Ole Bull. Miss Roddy,
the soprano, is of the lyric school. Her
voice is entrancingly sweet and shows to
advantage in Benedict's Carnival de
Venice. She, however, like Walther.
gives a selection Of popular ballads and
gives them with rare finish, never
sighting any Of her work. Miss Cum
mings is q fine pianiste and in the hum
orous line Miss Durell is a capital elo-
cutionist. Her rendering Of "When Pa
Got 'Nish'ated" is alone worth the price
Of the course. 1t is hoped this series OF
entertainments will be the means OF
bringing this class of artists to us reg
ulariy. The price is within the reach OF
all, and from the present outlook the
series will be grand success.

A Lively Burg.

Raudsburg is som ething Of a typical
mining camp Of earlier days. or at least
it is lively enough. The Grpheum Thea
tire is always in full blast, there being a
dance every night. There is the usual
sqnahhle over mining claims being taken
up and soon changing hands, but Rands-
burg has a lasting and prosperous fu-
ture. On Nov. II, the Randshurg Miner

trations showing the wealth and pros
perity of the Rand Mining District. The
Miners Union is strong At that place and
the wages are held at $3.50.

American Shirt Waists
 In Demand in England

special to the American says that Con- suI Marshal Halstead of Birmingham, Eng, sends to the State Department qulte an interesting statement in regard to American shirt waists and underwear in England The shirt waist, to which refer ence is had, are for ladies, England not having yet had sufficient time to relaxa- ton of dignity to adopt the American mans shirt waist Indeed, the shirt waist for ladies was only introduced in England in 1896. In the spring of 1899 shopkeep- CTS generally gave to dealers in American shirt waists what they considered -ex- ceptionally large orders. but the summer demand was much greater than was an- tieipated. Consequently, writes Mir Hal stead, shopkeepers put unusually large orders for this summers trade. Unsea- sonable weather however, has decreased the sales. The novelty of the designs makes the American article in England much more attractive than the English blouse. .---s
 Continuing, MT. Halstead says: "I have heard that one London merchant had bales of American shirtwaiststotaling $2T,39O

and a salesman for big wholesale house, who was travelling in a railway carriage with me one day, said that two-thirds of his blouse sales this year have been American. He had also sold sorSe thou sands of American suspenders, and said it made him smile when he met well-to-do Americans travelling here who when ques- toned, boasted they wore imported sus- penders.' He inspected, at my suggestion, the suspenders I bought in New York City for 50 cents, and-said their equal could not be had here or in France for that price at wholesale.
 An American manufacturer, who called at the consulate, told that several common cotton goods at his New England mills with the cheap labor of North Caro- lima, sold his machinery to company then building Southern mill, and studied the process of suspender manufacture here and on the continent. He boasted that while the British manufacturer had only 15S styles the first season, and claimed his suspen6ers were better and chea per, for he had adopted all the good processes, re- jected those he thought traditional, and had put in labor-saWn2 machinery.

none was more popular than Captain Tib- betts of Anniston. He was in command of company during the Spanish war, and while his regiment was stationed in the South he met Miss Hattie McI<lefoy of An niston, one of the most charming young women in the South. Their marriage took place little more than a year ago. and they went East to live. Recently they re- turned South and are residing in Anniston. Mrs. Tibbetts has numerous friends in Bir- mingham, where she was a greatly ad- mired belle. She did not join her husband in camp, being at present at the summer home of her brother MT. William H.

Among the many attractive young women who were the guests of the Colonel and his staff on Governors day, were Miss Ada Bowron, Miss McLester, Miss Hargrove of Mississippi, Miss Ferry Nabb Miss Lucy Eubank.

Brilliant Ball at ksheyiIle
 Given by kr. E, p. McKissick

MT. D. P. McKissick of Asheville, N C., gave one of the most brilliant balls ever witnessed in the South at the Battery Park Hotel Wednesday night. There were 700 guests in attendance, every State in the South and many of the North sending their fairest representatives. The hotel is we'll adapted to elaborate entertainments, and on Wednesday, night not only the ball room but the spacious dining hall adjoin- ing was used for dancing. Two orchestras discoursed excellent music, and the elabo- rate decorations of all sides made a fitting framework for the hundreds of lovely wo- men who charmed the onloofsers by their beauty, wit and grace.
 In the dining fcom where the guests were received by MT. McKissick, the decorations were patriotic in suggestion. The flag and insignia of the various States were draped on the arched windows and hung from the arched ceilings and columns. Smaller flags huttered from the cabinets set in the walls and at the bases of the windows there were countless potted plants, with blooms Of radiant hue. IRcandescent ngnts seemed to line the ceiling both in the dining hall and ball room, where palms and flowers were beauteous and fragrant on all sides. There were pink asterS and roses predominating in cut flowers, and banks of ferns in the corners of the rooms and on the mantels.
 While there was this brilliant scene with in, the balconies and lawns without pre- sented picture of tropical charm. The rich foliage of hundreds of palms on the verandas made secluded hooks here and there, where tired dancers or sentimental couples enjoyed sweet converse or looked out upon the lawn. dotted here and there with tents, under which delicious punch ard sandwiches were served Incandescent lights studded the branches of the trees;

 know that should write of it at the tented city, as hundreds of other persons have done, but when one recalls that en- chanting hour when the regiment passed in review before Governor Johnson and his saff it was like dream city, with senti- nels, while a regimentai band played pat riotic airs. It may have been the flame of color with which the sky was hung, that gave a vividness to it all, and of course the parade ground had been frequently the scene of regiments on dress parade but on last Thursday afternoon when the Second Regiment was reviewed by Alabama 5 Governor and his staff.

 To attempt to describe the beauty, charm and fashion of the many women present and do them justice, would re- quire more than the keen observation of the apprecia tive reporter-it would require rather the pen of the poet, the brush of the painter.
 Among the women distinctly beautiful in the assembly were:
 Mrs. Henry Tompkins, of Atlanta; Mrs Edward Barrett, of Birmingham; Mrs. Ashton Starke, of Richmond Mrs. Minter Wimberly, of Macon; Mrs. James McGow- an, of Augusta: Mrs. Bagely, of Baitimor@: Mrs Wortham, of Macon, and Mrs. John Grant, Mrs. William Riser, Mrs Marion Jackson, Mrs. Laulie Parrot, of Atlanta.
 Mrs Tompilins is the type of beauty that Titan put on canvass when he gave to the world his masterpieces. She has red-brown hair, dark eyes and exquisitely tinted skin. Her toilette of black tulle, sparkling in spangles accentuated her beauty and made her the center of adInira ton when ever she appeared.
 Mrs Ashton Starke, of Richmond, was pronounced the most distinguished-look ing woman in the assembly. She was one of the bellies of the occasion, and wore an elegant toilette of white lace over cream satin. Mrs Bagely and Mrs. Watham shared honors with her
