FINE BENEFIT CONCERT.
EXCELLENT PROGRAMME REM
DERED BIZ LOCAL TALENT.
The Popularity OF the Late Stephen D.
Brown, Attesfed by Large Audience
The Several Participants Were Well
Receive ed.

An excellent concert, which served
both as memorial and a benefit for the
widow and children of the late Stephen
D. Brown, who for a number of years
was head usher at the Hyperion, nearly
filled the house last evening.
1t was one of those beautiful testimo-
malls which many willing hands and a
most generous purchasing of tickets
eliminated in not only furnishing an
admirable and consistent programme,
but resulted in netting handsome sum
for the noble object for which it was
designed. N....ls
Everything, from the contribution Of
the Hyperion by Mr.. Bunnell, with it's
attendants, to even the carriages and
flowers, as well as the excellent talent,
was contributed unreservedly.
The programme opened with Chopin's
familiar Funeral March, which the
Dorscht lodge orchestra, under the di-
rection of Frank Fichtl, gave with deli
cate feeling and pathos. This was fol-
lowed by brighter work, the ''Felsen-
meuhle" overture, by Reissiger, which
was well done.
A tenor solo, Face to Face" very ap-
propriate for the occasion, was then
sung by G. E. Hendee, who was at his
best In the encore, "Good Night"
The superb number of the evening
was the Dessauer- Troostwyk Trio.
They first played nocturn for violin,
flute and piano. These artists are ex-
ceptional in their work, playing with a
skill and finish it is not our pleasure
often to hear In the List Rhapsody
Mr.. Dessauer displayed a beautiful
quality Of tone, while in the exacting
cadenzas for violin Mr.. Troostwyk
showed an exquisite mastery of both
technique and color. .3,...
Henry p. Mozealous sang two selec-
tions, delivering voice of fine timbre,
and was effective in Sullivan's Lost
Chord" which he gave as an encore.
Popular and well received were the
xylophone solos given by ]. Burns
Moore who shows considerable dexter
ity in manipulating his unique instru-
ment.
Miss May Bradley, the soprano who
has long since established her reputa-
ton as fine concert singer, gave Gou-
mods ave Maria noble rendition,
and sang artistically an original song
by Mrs. Troostwyk entitled "Sogehts,"
both pieces having a violin obligato
played by Mr.. Troostwyk, the occom-
paniment to which was done by the
composer.
Daintily given was the selection by
the string quartette, while George L.
Atwaters new african Dreamland"
was we'll received. The latter is a
catchy conception which should meet
with success.
The delightful programme ended with
Svendsen's Coronation March, which
the orchestra played in its usual good
style.
The accompanies were Mrs. Robert
son. w. s. Wheeler and John 7. Rey-
nolds. IA
The exact amount of the proceeds
from the concert was not ascertained
last evening, as many of the returns
were not in. A statement to this effect
will be made. to-day.

The Shirt Of Winter.

The spirit of winter is with us, max
ing its presence known in many differ
ent ways, sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine
and glistening SHOWS, and sometimes
by driving winds and binding storms.
To many people it seems to take de-
light in making bad things worse, for
rheumatism twists hareer, twinges
sharper, catarrh becomes more annoy
ing, and the many symptoms of scrofu-
la are developed and aggravated. There
is not much poetry in this, but there is
truth, and there is a wonder that more
people don't get rid of these ailments.
The medicine that cures them-Hood's
Sarsaparilla-is easily obtained and
there is abundant proof that its cures
are radical and permanent.
