WAS a MUSICAL TREAT.
William Ludwig and Assisting Tai
ent Sing in RRudenbush Hall.

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
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 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 fneneSS of sentiment to
his songs, especially in the lower notes,
''Thou'rt Passing Hence, My Brother by
Sullivan. His second was The Palms
Qaure), with a violin obligato by Ira
Donnelly. This was particularly inter
esting. The most popular selection of
his. however, was one of the ballads,
He also sung the Lament of Lord Wa
terford," A" which created much merrinlenr.
Mr.. Gehan's voice was done justice to
iE 1.-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 wen,
the high notes being adapted to her voice
Mr.. George also showed TO advantage In
the quartette singing. He sang Thou
Shalt Break Them, from the Messiah,
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);
''The Last Rose of Summer (Moore), and
''Undi 81 Ben (VerdD 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.

IN MEMORY OF TH Q|JEEN
REV. j. B. HASLAN, OF MINNEAP-
OILS, DELIVERS ELOQUENT :
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 a most bcauti -ul
character, sacred to the memory of Vic
toria, the lamented queen of England, j,
were held at st. Paurs church. Ninth
and Olive streets, yesterday. The oc-
casion, Septuagesima Sunday, lent ad
ditional force to the solemnity of the
services and the dual event was char
acterized by the rendition of scme beau
tiful music by the boys vested 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;
emblematic of the United Kingdom, and
the Stars and Stripes, being draped at
the entrance to the altar. Candies and
evergreens completed the beautiful eff
feet. l..,
Rev. ]. b. Haslan. of Minneapolis, pre-
sided. delivering the sermon eulogiste
of the departed queen. Rev. Mr.. Has
Ian prefaced his address with a quota
ton from F!ng.and's late poet laureate,
TennysC1i, and from that drew the in
spiration for his eu:ogy. Her simple life
he portrayed most eloquently, Placing
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 loveiress of her nature was
apparent. As queen she was a 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 hIImblest of her
subjects Peace, she prayd for, and her
every official act was directed at it's
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. Nr. Haslan. should be a re-
buke 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
tenderness and care she exercised in her
household. Even over her people her
mOtheriy spirit was wont to cast its in
fluence. Her subjects were her children
and she was watchful of their welfare.
In the life of Queen Victoria" said
Rev. Mr.. Haslan, eve find all that is
good. In her every trait we find that
spirit of unselfishness so prominent
throughout her wholealife. She is Dead
but her memory lives, and the world is
better fer ii. Would that all could
make their lives as coed. I do not speak
as an Fmglishman. though that was the.
land of my birth. but as an American, as
this is the land of my adoption. The
whole world moUrns with England in the
loss of her sovereign, and America joins
in the refrain"

The Rev. DR.. Harvey, of St Johns, N

Startling accounts have been received
from the interior regarding the reckless
slaughter of our magnificent caribou by
Observation-Disclosures themselves. The de-

last year. A steamer arrived here lately

more are awaiting shipment Another five

sportsmen will not consider it worth
while to visit the island.

MAY APPEAL TO COURTS
GROCERs PROTEST AGAINST COR
PoRATION ATTORNEYS DEcIsIoN

The recent decision Of the corporation
attorney, compelling all grocerymen who
sell poultry and game in connection with
their regular business to pay a tax of
$50, has called forth a protest from the
proprietors, and may result in an ap-
peal to the courts. Ordinarily the grocers
do not handle poultry and game except
during the holidays, and the proposed
tax they say, would cut their profits to
a heavy extent. The matter is being
taken up by the Retail Grocers' associa-
ton.
An attempt several years ago was made
to tax grocers who sold poultry and
meats, but was not successful. new
ordinance has since been drafted, which,
it is contended, complies with the state
law in every respect.
