lovers content with his "Phylida,"
we we're carried back to the spirit Of
the pastorals OF Theocritus BiOn, and
Virgil, "The Jiners" concluded this
group We have often heard this
number given, but never better than
by Miss Yates upon this occasion.
The much-neglected and long suffer
ing wife never felt greater contempt
nor manifested greater indignation
than did Miss Yates So realistic
was it all that the audience inter-
rupted the reader with hearty and
repeated laughter. Our sense Of the
ludicrous is a national trait, and this
selection goes to prove that exaggera-
tion is one of the fundamental ele-
mentS of humor.
This most excellent program was
concluded with that highly amusing
little monologue, "Debutante" by
Howell L. Piner. Thoroughly at her
ease aud free from all constraint, Miss
Yates vividly presented the scene,
skillfully implying that Others were
present and, by her replies, readily
leading the audience to imagine what
they said. In the monologue Miss
Yates seemed to be thoroughly in hel
element aud manifested real dramatic
talent.
The many beautiful flowers which
we're showered upon Miss Yates upor
, this occasion were but slight testi
, monials Of esteem and appreciation
Miss Yates was assisted by Mr. f
} j, Stark, violinist, with Miss Perl
J Shale as accompanist MIR. Stark is
! great favorite and his appearance o
r Monday evening only enhanced hi
t already envIable reputation. On thi
5 occasion his selections, Nocturne, Opu
4 8, No by Chopin and Faust Fan'as
e both well suited to his style-wer
s played with great skill. At bot

Children's Recital.

At Lexington College, Saturday
evening the little people "did their
turn" and most delightfully."- they en-
tertained their appreciative audience.
To several Of the performers it was
first appearance, but 'they uniformly
contributed their part toward the gen.
eral good form and enjoyment.
The first number, "The jolly Little
Players" was rendered with precision
and spirit by Clara, Joseph and Eliza
beth Finney, as were their piano
solos later 10 the program.
"The littlest girl", Helen Dickey,
next played her solo, "Song of the
Rose'. The small fingers did their
work truly and in perfect tune. This
tiny musician has just concluded a
course of thirty days. May there be
many more as promising ones to fol-
low. Such results as this certainly
speak eloquently of the careful train
ing under which the children as wei
as the more advanced students pro.
gress 10 this department.
The selections by Florence Grieser
aud Thea Cole were indeed well
rendered.
A violin solo was very Sweetly
played by Bette Dickey, and her
piano solo, "Spring Has Come"
beautifully given, was suggestive Of
spring fancies and bird songs.
Nettie Fredendall played especially
well her graceful selection "Adieu",
The accuracy and certainty of touch
in most OF these little players were
remarkable.
We were pleased to see that thC
musical taste is not mOnopolized by
the feminine portion oil our Youthfu
society. The piano solo gwen bl
Robert Bush was given in excellen
time and spirit, and most hearth!
received
The vocalist of the evening, Carl
ton Coon, captivated his audience
and in response to an encore sang
you're as Welcome as the Flower
in May"
The musical program was varied b
recitation by Elizabeth Finney, an
her interesting account Of the "MlC
at Play" was certainly engrossln
both to the children and growu-ups.
All auditors left thinking that th
chlldren's evening for unalloyed Ell
joyment and interest decided
eclipses many such given by the
older brothers and sisters. One r
m arks the freshness, as Of the sprinl
time they played and sang of, az
the absence OF the self-conscious el
M ent, which is Of itself refreshing

A BLOW AT COLORADO,
STATE or COLORADO.
CsgSF1 - CIxSsox.

Denver News.
Mr. Hill of Connecticut has an
nounced his intention of pressing
his measures for the coinage of silver
dollars into subsidiary currency so
as to avoid the necessity of the gov
ernment going into the market and
buying about S2,0O0,OOO a month
for the coinage of small change.
He also announces that he expects
to have the support of the admins
tration leaders If the republican
party is successful at the coming
election, and that he has every hope
OF getting his bill through and be-
ginning 10 melt up the silver dollars
soon afterward
Government purchase of $1,000
600 a month of silver for the coinage
OF small change would have an i'm
mediate and most beneficial effect on
the price of silver. The silver
bought under the Sherman act has
all been coined and the government
now must buy silver to supply its
coinage needs unless the silver dol
lars are melted
To Colorado and all the silver
producing states this subject is of
the utmost Importance. With such
a fight coming on it is necessary for
the welfare of the state that Mr..
Shairoth and Messrs. Maupin and
NhitTord shall be elected from this
state, as well as that a democrat shall
be sent TO the United States senate.
Mr Shafroth, during his long service
in congress, was one Of the great
leaders of the silver fight and there
is no man better equipped than he
tolead the battle in the house against
this new attack on the white metal.
The plan TO recon the silver dol
lars into small change is not only
inimical 10 silver but is a part of the
wider plan TO throw the currency OF
the country into the hands Of the Wal
street banking combination. AZ
