gun toter is also the most dis
gusting thing that confronts the
public. An animal with no
greater accomplishment than to
"pull a gun quick" deserves
about the same credit for it that
a bull pup does for his ability to
devour his own vomit. Such
characters are invariably both

NINE. MELsA's FAREWELL.

Nine AIeIba last evening babe adieu to New-York
for the season in miscellaneous concert at Car
negie Hall 1t is to be hoped that there was moth
ing prophetic IN the song she chose on her nnal
recall The song was Tostis "Goodby. Sumner
and its closing words. the last heard from her lips
last night were 'GOodby forever, goodby gOodby."
II was an evening of well meaning effort and.
much veudoing with nothing Of novel or notable
achievement. except the renewed demonstration Of
Nine MeIba's wonderful vocal art and the adIniring
esteem IN which it is held She chose for her num-
bers three pieces the first BY request, which give
her superb voice full opportunity-the mad scene
from Lucia with flute obbligato by Mr. North the
mad scene from Hamlet and the waltz song from
Romeo ct Juliette'-two Needless TO say. being
for the most part in splendid voice she entrsnced
her hearers once with the beauty OF her gifts
and the marvellous art with which she uses them.
Next to that provided by Nine Media, the highest
pleasures of the evening found IN the singing Of
NJ Gilbert IN an air from la Joe File du Perth %
by Bfzet and three eighteenth century songs
one by Martini and two arrangements by Wekerlin.
NJ Gilbert sang with taste and feeling, and for the
songs, in which he accompanied BY Nile
LIewella Davies. he. too. was rewarded with a re-
call The other vocalist OF the evening Mr.
Ellison Van HoOse. who sang his one number

with fine manly voice but in a matter OF fact
manner. as II he were Indifferent to sentiment
and enthusiasm. Rather a novelty IN New-York
concerts was the harp playing OF Mile. Ada sassol
who played a choral and variations by Widor
conpanied by the orchestra. and 'Nordische Bal
Iade" ~ Poenitz This was charming bit. played
deIicately and with pretty effect and received the
usual reward The orchestral part OF the concert
was cared for by Philadelphia Orchestra, led by
Fritz Schae a flying trip from the Quaker City
having been made to play two numbers and the
accomplishments The opening piece was Beetho-
vens overture, 'Lenore No. a., and the closing the
overture to Thomas's "Mignon-" The orchestra
was received with much favor by the audience and
did its part successfully and well
