a Large Order.

There was once an early day miner who,
after many years, made his pile and, com
ing down to san Francisco, looked about
for the most splendid restaurant he could
find. He wanted to make up to himself
in one glorious night for all his priyations
aud hardships of many years. When he
found his restaurant and the waiter handed
him the bill of fare, he found it was in a
language that is not commonly spoken in
mining camps and that he could not make
out anything but the prices, which wree ex-
tremely high So he turned to the waiter

LAST NIGHTS RECITAL
Mr.. Charles Gailoway's Fine Program
Given at Presbyterian Church Be
fore a Large Audience

MIR. Charles Galloway'S organ re-
cital last evening at the Presbyterian
church was attended by one Of the
largest audiences ever seen at a mus
ical entertainment in Cairo The pews
were filled. many chairs were Occur
pied in the ssiles and quite number
were obliged to sit in the school room
adjoining the main auditorium.
A two manual pipe organ, built by
Messrs. George Kilgan & Son, of st,
Louis, has Just been placed in the
church and the people of Cairo were
glad of this opportunity to hear the
new instrument in the hands of so
accomplished an organist as Mr. Gal
loway. The fact that he has recently
been appointed the official organist
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
lent an additional interest to the re-
cital
Mr. Galloway's program was well
chosen to bring out the fine qualities
of theorgan and TO exhibit his splendid
powers as master of the instrument.
The scherzo in E by Gigout was per.
haps the most difficult number and
was greatly enjoyed by the audience
The andantino by Lemare, the offer
toire in d fat by Salome and Gull
mants nuptial march were particu-
larly well received.
Mr.. Galloway's work was mastery
at all times. His staccato playing and
pedaling showed that he has the best
organ style. He has the temperament
which the great organist must have.
His Interpretation showed that he IS
the possesor Of the fine discrimination
of the real artist II is to be hoped
that Cairo people will again have an
opportunity to hear Mr. Galloway and
the great success of his recital last
night viii always insure him another
fine audience
Mr. Galloway was assisted by Miss
Emma Lansden and Miss Magdalene
Vanderburgh Miss Lansden sang
Haydn's with Verdurc Clad" She
was in good voice and her number
was given in very pleasing and sat
isfact0ry manner. Miss Vanderburg,
who has been in Buffalo Tor the last
two years studying the violin, played
delightfully."- She gave two numbers.
Her rendition of The Swan by
Saint-Saens, was particularly enjoyed.

be bankrupt in three months, even
after she had fought an entirely vic.

Thus, she stands to lose, either in
the case of victory or defeat. Her

Three years have not dimmed the

Clement envelopes himself with a
characterization that drst drew at.

manner. That quality is still APPARENT

ing human feeling. dominating every
instinct. There is all the old honor
for woman, the respect for truth. the
vindication of justice. Mr. Clement
ha sonly matured his art. and his Bar
on is a masterpiece of character
There is the careful studied walk, the
accent. of grammatical correctness.
What impresses one most of all is the
beautiful sincerity, the symbolism of a
noble life.
Hohenstaufen is pre-eminently the
product of thought, and the mentality
that conceived it was in touch with the
beauties of the brooks and the song
Of the birds. The commedy is delight
full, wholesome and bracing. 1.-THE New
Dominion is the new page in the
history of an old tale, but the portraits
are drawn with gentle hand. And
through the gentle narrative is the
tinge of the tragedy of the girl of the
mountains mingling with the flow of
the story and tenpering the senti-
nent. Mr. Clements characterization
is striking and ideal, splendid in con-
ception and character permanent

Of the story nothing more need be
