FARLAND RECITAL.

The Farland recital is bound to have
a full house Friday night. Besides the
local talent Mr. Farland will give one
of his clever performances on the
stringed instruments. OF his ability
Boston and New York critics speak as
follows:
Alfred A. Farland's work on the
banjo was sufficient to convince the
most skeptical that the instrument is
unlimited He aroused an amount OF
connoisseur enthusiasm never before
bestowed on a banjo player Musical
Courier.
His banjo whines like the wind and
oftener sounds like cello, violin or
a harp than it does like a banjo.
Those who fell into fine frenzy at
Kubelik's technical feats should not
miss an opportunity Of hearing Far
lands still more amazing exploits
Boston Transcript.
Enjoys the distinction of having Gre
ated class and filling it alone
Just as Patti outrivals the ordinary so
prano Farland stands above all other
banjo players of the world He
has raised the banjo to the level of the
piano, the violin and the harp.-Boston

compare we'll with humans in drawing
people to the theaters, as was shown
by the two large audiences that gath
cred at the Jacques yesterday after
noon to see Professor v. P. Worm
woods dog and monkey circus. These
dogs and monkeys, it was fully known
TO the local-public, are probably the
best trained collections Of such that
there are on the stage; and hence their
enthusiastic reception at the hands of
the audiences both in the afternoon
and evening. They went through all
the novel tricks that made them so
popular last season and in addition
showed number of new ones. and
the wonderful mathematical dog gave
additional evidence of further pro-
gress in his knowledge of arithmetic.
Inc marvellous animals will undoubt-
edly make a sensation as big as they
created last season. Bonnie Thorn
ION, the popular serio-comic, made an
instantaneous hit with her songs. Miss
Thornton doesn't boast much of a.
voice; indeed. 1T is doubtful If she has
TOUR distinct notes in her register.
And yet she has mode of half tallx-
Ing and half singing her songs that is
wonderfully effective. and one need
only hear her once to understand WHY
she is ranked as the leading serio-
comic on the American stage fo-t7av.

SALT Lake is said TO be drying up.

crease was four inches perpendicular.
On the eastern shore of the lake.

will it stop? This reminds us that
some year or two ago government
engineers who had been noting the
volume of our rivers that flow into
the Atlantic, reported that the vol
ume of water in each one of them
had become very much reduced and
was diminishing annually. They
charged the cause principally to the
wholesale clearing of lands on the
rivers and their tributaries and fill
ing the streams by heavy washings
from the farms. ii this is the cause
could not a remedy be found? 1t is
an important matter. and the gov
eminent should have its experts in
such matters to make Investigations
