MT. Charles c. Washburn, who Is at present in Chicago. has completed his arrangements for the winter. He has just signed 8 contract with Dunston Collins for year, who will book Mr. Washburn for concerts during the winter season and with the Theodore Thomas orchestra next spring in the festivals. In addi- ton to these engagements. Mir. Collins will put out a concert company for five or six weeks of consecutive one night dates. MT. Washburn's name heading the company. Mrs Wm. Wilkinsburgh. of Kansas City, who has so many admirers in Birmingham. will be the leading con- tralto in the Washburn concert company.
 MT Washburn has been received most cordially by Chicago's musical set and 1t Is said that Hamlin pronounced MT. Washburn without peer. He is over whelmed with hattering attention. and his voice is said by others besides Ham, lin to be unequalled In Chicago Mir.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-07-06

Washburn will also accept position in one Of Chicagos most fashionable choirs. He will leave Chicago this week for Gn- cinnati. and will then go to New York for short visit before returning to Chi cago.
 MT. Washburn's success will be most gratifying to his numerous friends in Bir- mingham.
 That he is meeting with such recogniz- ed success in so short time indicates that Hamli's judgment was far-seeing. The first time that he heard MT. Wash burn sing he predicted just such a future that is now opening. He said that an unusual career awaited MT. Washburn and 1t was Hamlin who influenced him to seek a broader field.
 Dustan Collins, MT. Washburn's man ager, stands at the head of his profession in Chicago, and a man with his wide ex- perience would hardly undertake the re- sponsibility entrusted Tn a singers career without an abundance of faith and conf1- dence in the man who is expected to bring in the box office receipts.

ETHEL HOUSTON DU ERE.

en whose successful careers aresfrequent subjects for the newspaper writer, is Miss Ethel Houston Du Ere of Birming- ham, who Is continual inspiration. From the day that she went abroad to study to her debut in opera she seems to have given the musical critics no opportu- nity for even faint praise and she is still in the public eye, young opera star in its ascendency.
 Her numerous Birmingham admirers will read with interest the following clip ping from a New York daily:
 Mrs Du Ere scored for herself a tri- umph in her work of Ortrud There were probably few in last nights audience who realized that they were listening to contralto, so remarkable is her range

Both parts of her voice are equally pleas ing, and she is, moreover, an excellent actress"
 And again: Ut was interesting to see Miss Ethel Houston Du Ere cast as Or trud. Taking the part of a young wom- an, she certainly looked the part beauti- fully, while her ever varying facial ex- precision was constant study. The part, though very different from her other roles, gave her all the opportunity of strong dramatic situations, which she loves to depict and which she does so we'll. Her rich eoptralto voice had full range and in several of her songs she received hearty applause"
 Another says Miss Du Ere as Ortrud had her largest opportunity thus far and she made noble use of 1t. The warmth
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-07-06

and richness of her voice, its ample range and satisfying fullness were dis played throughout all her work and with her fine voice control and vocalization won for her instant recognition as arichly endowed and intelligent singer
 Another critic says: Miss Ethel Hous- ton Du Ere is an artiste with a bright future before her. She sang the Ortrud with an intensity and conviction and her acting was thrilling in its passion
 Beside the role of Ortrud In Lohengrin Miss Houston has sung many other parts since her engagement with the Castle Square Company in all of which she has made her mark. The constant change of bills which tnls company has put on both during their run in New York and their tur in the west neeessitated the learning of an immense amount Of opera music

 There are special roads for horse back riders and long drives for carriages and sleighs. The chateau is now used for a museum. Grosser Garten contains two beautiful lakes, and during the winter the student out for walk will generally find herself in this enchanting park watching the skaters on the lakes as they circle around to the most bewitch- ing music by some of Q srpn"b lands that stay there every afternoon"

MRS. SAMUEL OATES DEAD.
Funeral Services held at M. E. Church in
This City Tuesday Afternoon.

On Saturday evening the family of
Mr.. Samuel Oates were surprised to
receive the sad news that their moth
er had passed away at Mendoza asy-
lum on Saturday afternoon. No in
timation had been received of the
possibility of such a result, conse-
quently it was a great shock to the
family who were unprepared for the
sad news.
Mrs. Oates was strong and vigorous
until a few years ago when through
over anxiety she was attacked with
nervousness and gradually became
weaker until her physical nature,
weakened and impaired, became de-
fective IN supplying nourishment to
the brain and reason became partly
dethroned. She was taken to Madi-
son to get the benefit of treatment by

Obituary.

Died: June p, 1902, at the home
of it's grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Hurlbut, the infant daughter of Mr..
and Mrs, Harry Taylor. The funeral
was held OF Monday forenoon at Mr..
Hurlburt's where large company OF
friends and neighbers gathered to
sympathize with the Borrowing young
parents.
Rev. Schoenfeldt Of Bloomington
conducted the services and spoke
most beautiful and consoling words
to the sorrowing ones. The Metho-
dist choir sang precious Jewels
and other appropriate songs. Four
little white robed maidens bore the
tiny white rose covered casket to it's
last resting place in the Lancaster
cemetery.
Little Ruth Taylor was born March
10, 1902, and was spared but three
months and eleven days to brighten
the lives and home of it's parents. We
should not think of her as gone for
ever but as another angel added to
the shining throng in heaven.

rise pom brighter Shore"
