WAS a MUSICAL TREAT.
William Ludwig and Assisting Tai
emit Sing in RRudenbush Halt,

William Ludwig's sacred concert at
RaudenbuSh hall last night, as was eX-
pected, proved to be rare musical
treat On the entire programme were
two baritone voices, two soprano and
one tenor. The baritone voices were pos
sessed by William Ludwig and John f.
Gehan; the soprano by Mrs. j. A. Hartl-
gan and Miss julia Donovan. and the
tenor by Harry George who Is a mem
Der of the Metropolitan quartette.
Mr.. Ludwig appeared the most times on
the programme and always alone He
has a strong baritone voice, and some
times impaftS a fineneSS of sentiment to
his songs, especially in the lower notes,
''Thour TT Passing Hence, My Brother" by
Sullivan. His second was THE Palms.
(Faure), with a violin obligato by Ira
Donneliy. This was particularly inter-
esting. The most popular selection of
his. however, was one of the ballads,
1.-The Wearing of the Green (Nahony).
He also sung the Lament of Lord Wa
terfoTd," which created much merrimenI.
Mr.. Gehan's voice was done justice to
il THE Holy City" He impaired much
feeling to the song.
The quartette singing was interesting
throughout. In The Last Rose of Sum
mer," Mrs. Hartigan did especially well,
the high notes being adapted to her voice,
Mr.. George also showed to advantage In
the quartette singing. He sang Thou
of Handel, alone but his singing was
better appreciated when blending with
other voices.
The quartette sang three numbers, as
follows. Let Erin Remember" (Moore);
''4'he Last Rose Of Summer fMoore1, and
''Undf 81 Ben Verdi. In the last Miss
Donovan did the most credit to herself,
though in her solos she entertained the
most. She sang my Rosary" (Nevin),
and another number by request.

EULOGY AT ST. PAUL'S
HER LIFE WAS A MODEL ONE
AS queen, wife and Mother She
Set an Example That the
World May Well
Copy.

Memorial services of most beauti ul
character, sacred to the memory of Vic
toria, the lamented queen of England,
were held at ST. Paurs church. Ninth
and Olive streets, yesterday. The oc-
casion, Septuagesina Sunday, lent adj
ditional force to the solemnity of the
services and the dual event was char
acterized by the rendition of scme beau
tifh music by the boys yegted choir.
Special music and ceremony was at
tendant upon the morning and afternoon
services, but that of last night was the
most elaborate, while the decorations
were in harmony, the Union Jack:

sided. delivering the sermon eulogisdei
of the departed queen. Rev. Mr.. Has
Ian prefaced his address with a quota
ton from Fngtand's late poet laureate,
TennyscI and from that drew the in
spiration for his eu.ogy. Her simple life
he portrayed most eloquently. Pacing
it before his hearers as an example all
might follow with profit.
In life Queen Victoria portrayed the
queen, the wife and the mother, and IN:
each the loveliness of her nature was
apparent. AS queen she was just
ruler and her thoughts were ever of her
people. Though surrounded by the pomp'
and Splendor of her court its glitter did
not close her eyes to the sufferings of
her people, even the h'unblest of her
subjects. Peace, she prayd for, and her
every official act was directed at. its
attainment.
AS wife her devotion to her husband,
tho prince consort, was most beautiful,
the sanctity of purpose pledged in her
troth, remaining true even after his
death. This one attribute of the queen,
said Rev. Mr. Haslan. should be re-
Duke to those who seek to tear asunder
by divorce those whom God has made
one. The word mother is beautiful, and
as one reviews the life of Queen Victoria
he can not but be impressed by the
tenderness and care she exercised In her
household. Even over her people her
motherly spirit was wont to cast its in
and she was watchful of their welfare
Rev. Mr.. Haslan, Eve find all that is

but her memory lives, and the world is
better for it. Would that all could

Advice of Famous Physician.

Advice of "A Famous Physician.
First and foremost, REST
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
hlaye It. If the attack is severe, go T.
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from the neglect of this precau-
ton than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly- Your digestive organs
are in no condition to take care of large
quantities of food
Drink plenty of pure. cold water. It
allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys
to action and opens up the pores of the
skin. Keep the bowels open with DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of Dr.. Miles Ner9.ne
per day, and if you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bedtime. To further con
troll the fever. and to overcome the re-
culiar aches and pains of grip use DR.
Miles Pain Pills. They act quieisiy and
effectually, and no bad effects result
from their use. These remedies have
been thoroughly tested more than a
million times. and their efficiency is tbor-
.oughly established. They never fan to

The slaughter has now become an organ
lied affair. A number of traders at diff
ferent points employ men in large gangs,
sometimes as many as fifty or sixty each.
They supply them with firearms, ammu-

poor and accept miserable wages, hardly
enough to keep them alive, They know
