BOSTON LADIES' SYMPHONY OR.
CHESTRA
Gives Grand Concert at the Opera
Rouec,

A fair audience was at tie Opera
| house, last evening. from Augusta
| and naigEho;'inE cities. to enjoy the
concert given by the Boston La
dies Symphony Orchestra. To say
that everyone present was delight
| Cd with the entertainment would
be stating it mildly. The program
from start to finish called forth the
warm appreciation of the audience, and
demonstrated anew the right of this
famous orchestra to rank rs one of the
leading musical organizations in the
country. 1t was Il fitting climax to
course OF entertainments that has been
in the highest degree successful, and
which has enabled the people of this
section to enjoy talent OF a high order
1t was worth the price of admission
just TO hear this orchestra in the piece
| descriptive of THE Afternoon at the
Races. The solosists all acquitted
themselves with credit. Mrs. Mckee
| in her violin solos showed herself to
be Il violiniSt of the highest rank. An
Other notable feature of the entertain
inent was the work Of Miss Glidden,
| the cornctist. Her tone is pure round
and bread. and Yet most agreoably sub
ducd from the harsh, blatant effervcs-
ceHcc which some cornetists affect
| She too is an example for some cornet-
lists who call themselves cornet kings
| Miss Swan, TIC trombOnist. made an
| excellent impression. Her tone, too. is
smooth, most pleasing. and free from
the usual noisy. braZcn effects that are
associated with the instrument. Any
body can announce Il fish dinner on a
trombone: but it takes a genuine young
artist like Miss Glidden to make ore
enjoy the religion of music.
| Concerning little Miss Shipley it is
Scant praise to say that she is Il wor-
| der enid. She cannot be much over
IL or 10 years of age and yet she plays
| like young Souea virtuoso. Then too
| it is worth something just to see this
plump little miss stand up there and
devote herself heart and soul to her
CHOSEN instrument. You will not hear
or see such Il phenomenon as this
many times in a lifetime
We regret that space does not admit
Of q more detailed account Of the worl,
done by the various artists. but we can
assure the members Of the Boston
Ladies' Symphony Orchestra that. IL
they ever come to Augusta again they
will find a most hearty welcome await
ing them.

Miss Bridget Heating died at
o'clocz. last evening. at the home of
her niece. Mrs. Mary X. Hopkins, 81
Bridge street. Her age was 81 years.
Miss Heating WAS Il native of Ireland,
and IL many ways was n glmarlable
woman. Until being taken with her
last Illness, about three weeks ago, she
had never seen a sick day in her life.
In her younger days she was Il cook of
rare excellence and served in that ca
pacity in a number of the prominent
families of the city. among them that

Greeley visited Augusta. she prepared
the dinner which was served to him.
At the time of her death she was one of
the Oldest ladies in the city. Funeral

city Marshal Breen is of the opinion
that it is not all fun in bringing up a
dog from the foolish days of puppyhood
to the time when the dog shall be able
to distinguish right from wrong, and to
conduct himself in dignified manner
consistent with mature doghood. Not
Ions ago. the marshal bought a SPAN
lie, pup. acting, no doubt, on the prin-
ciple that "a thing of beauty is joy
forever" The pup was a pretty one.
and about large enough to be carried
home in an overcoat pocket, and rs
pups are always cunning. so was this
particular one. and he speedily won a
place i'm the hearts OF the household. A
great deal Of fun has been enjoyed by
the family. watching the pup grow.
and seeing him develop. day by day,

known 40 those of lis who have ever

'PerhHps, however, just what the future
has NJ store for him had better be with
held hntii a later date. One Of the lat
est tNaits that the dog has shown is a
penchfnt for collecting the bric-a- brac,
arounf the neigkborhood. and making
q display OF it on the back piazza, and
it wasl this particular fad that came
near getting him into trouble the other
night. bundle OF small clothes had
been made up by the housewife and
placed on the piazza preparatory to
taking it,pt the children's home. Nat
uraliy the Cog caught sight Of it, and
not relishing the idea of rummage
sale being conducted within his special
preserves, promptly carried the bundle
of. There was a long hunt after that
bundle. in which the marshal assisted.
and when the housewife found it down
in the orchard. in the negligee condition
perhaps it was just as well for the pup
that he vas not within reach OF her

Neat BASQUE Waists

There is every indication that the
basque bodice will be the next thing
worn. The pointed crush girdIes were
the first indication, for they certainly
gave the blouse waist basque effect,
and their popularity proved that wo-
men welcomed the change. Many of
the fitted Jackets and Etons are praC,
tcally baSques, and in some of the
newest gowns the jacket is not meant
to be removed, but is worn over a
guimpe or tucker of thin material.
A very handsome cloth gown with
satin finish was of a soft tan color
combined with green. The skirt was
plated all around, the plaits being
very full in the back, so that no
sheath effect was noted. The jacket
was laid in tiny pIaits on the shoulder
and was full over the bust. 1t was
held tight below that and around the
waist by a corselet arrangement of
green and tan cOIOred braid touched
with gold.

reports indicate that there is a short
crop in many countries. Canada has
been hit like the United States, the
estimates in Manitoba being reduced
by One-half. We learn also from a
general review in the London EcOnO.
mist that the English crop will be
much below the average, and that Of
the entire United Kingdom a meager
one. In France there will be reduc-
ton Of about SO per cent from the
yield Of last year. Austria. Hungary,
Spain, Italy, ROumania and Russia are
all sufferers. Damage by drought has
seriously affected the prospects in the
Argentine, and India seems to fur
nish the only marked exception to the
generally discouraging returns. Her
crop Of last spring was $4,000 900
bushels, the largest in her history.
and The Economist says: IF wanted
in Europe, India. accordingly, has an
enormous surplus, which would be at.
tracted by moderate advance in the
price"
This surplus, however, is not large
enough to make up the deficit in other
countries, and it is certain that the
worlds crop will be the smallest pro-
duced in recent years. At the same
time this country is fortunate in the
the prospect of large yield of Indian
corn. The estimate is 2,4OO, 100000
bushels, which would give a crop far
above the average and second only to
that of 1902.
