| Edward Baxter Perry, the blind pianist.
will give two lecture recitals in Savannah
| this week at the banquet hall of the DE
! Soto The first of these recitals will be
| given Friday night and the second Satur-
| day afternoon. The programmes given
will be entirely different. In his rapid and
nkn fhn ntrV d.
ward Baxter Perry often meets with the
most annoying vicissitudes and complica-
lions in regard to his pianos, although ne
| has sometimes had as many as eleven on
! the road at once. The grand which he eX-
poets to use on a given night is frequently
| stuck in snowdrift fifty miles down the
! road, or sidetracked in a freight car and
| not heard of for a week. or dumped in
| depot because too large to go into the eX-
press car while Mr.. Perry speeds ON his
| way in the happy delusion that his instru-
ment is aboard. More seldom his piano
| is smashed in a railroad accident, or
dropped by movers and dislocated inter
nally or starts on an independent tour of
| Its own in opposite direction. One of
| the grands last season was separated from
| its legs for period of several weeks the
| box containing the body of the instru-
| ment having rightly gone to Atlanta, and
the box of legs having taken the wrong
train. A fortnight later Mrs. Perry
| ceived the following telegram in Boston:
| Mr.. Perry's legs have just arrived; body
went last week TO Cincinnati. Where
shall we send the legs?' Mr.. Perry's fam
lily were SO alarmed by this message, and
outsiders so amused when the facts were
| known, that the incident got into all the
| Boston papers, which had a great deal
of sport over this unfortunate division of
the pianist. His Savannah audiences
| need have no fear of such a contretemps
use of the grand piano belonging to the
Savannah Music Club this being the pi-
ano that he uses in all of his recitals.

Every night after the performance of
THE Degenera tes," at the Garden Thea
ter in New York. Mrs. Langtry. attired in
khaki recites Kipling's patriotic verses,
