Two Children Perish In a Burning
House--other state News.
Lansing. Mich. Jan. Ex-senator
Helme, the only democratic member
Of the upper house of the legislature.
recently paid mysterious visit to ex
Gov. Pingree In Detroit. This fact
probably explains his action of Mon
day night in introducing In the senate
the Oren blu to tax railroads and
union railroad and depot companies
on the ad valorem basis that failed to
pass at the last special session In 1900.
Senator Murfin, of Detroit, intro
duced a blu ito authorize any railroad
company to sell, lease or convey Its
property or franchises to any other
railroad company. Senator Murfin
says his bill is merely to correct the
title of the present act on the subject.
The kelly-Nichols bill to tax rail-
roads on the ad valorem system was
introduced.
Senator Pierson introduced a bill to
abolish the Office of commissioner of
mineral statistics"
Senator Loomis introduced bill ap-
propriating 100000 to erect state
monument in the military park of
Chickamauga and CHATTANOOGA.
All the business done in the senate
was the introduction of six bills.

THE sAENGERBUND CONCERT.
A Large Audience Enjoys Excellent
Iy Rendered Selections


The Saengerbund presented 20 its mem
bers and friends an unusually attractive
musical programme last night. The oc-
casion was the seventh musical entertain
ment Of the season and the large hall was
crowded to the doors by those who came
to take advantage of the rare treat

was Radecke's Aus der Jugendzeit.' 20
which was presented by the chorus with
fine effect One of the surprises of the
evening was the soprano solo Judith
by COncone. sung by Miss Lowita Reiuer
Miss Reiner, although only fifteen years
of age, did great credit TO herself, not
withstanding the fact that the selection
on account OF its high requirements was
probably a little overreached. Miss Rel
ner has a strong. clear voice Of unusually
wide range and considering her age, is
one of the most accomplished singers
ever heard in this city. She was heartily
applaUded, and for an encore gave Tostfs
"Good-by, Summer" which she sang in
a highly accomplished manner
Harry Wheaton Howard followed with
the presentation of the piano solos DO
lero," ''Romanza," ''Scherzo," his own
compositions Mr. Towards execution
and presentation Of his creations were al
most fauitless, showing to good adyan-
tage his wonderful technique. The only
possible shortening in his compositions
was want of originality and individuaI-
ty- The fore and afterplay of Roman
"a" was ideal and well selected
The contraIto solo of Rossini's Una
voce POGO IA" from the Barber Of Sc
vile, as given by Miss RosaIie HoIberg
was a rare treat Miss Holberg has a
mellow voice Of wide range and strength
and Interpreted the great masters senti-
ments to perfection. Her Obligato 'Du
bLst vie cine Klume.' by Graben Hoff-
mann, was also rendered in a highly &C
COmpIished manner and with fine feel
ing.
The feature of the evening. however,
was Mrs. Ivy HeTTiOUU Shades soprano
solo Of ATGitis waltz song ''Parla" Mrs
HerriOtt sang with fine effect and was
most generously applauded- She com
mands an exceptionally well mOdulated
strong, and clear voice Of great range.
For an encore she gave ZiehTer'S Flow

Frank RebstOck's barytOne solo Of TrO-

received.
