ing hitherto been confined to grand opera
and occasional recitals in the large cities.

a body of solo artists of merit, including
Joseph Holman, the premier Dutch Gel
list; Amherst Webber, a pianist Of high
repute in European musical centres and
Emilio de Gogorza, a baritone who is
very popular in our own country.
Unlike so many operate stars who
have made earlier ventures in the con-
cert field, Nine Eames will come before
the music loving public with the full ma
turity and glowing tension Of vocal pow
ers at their highest estate. Her voice
was never so sweet and sympathetic nor
so dramatic and powerful as last season,
when she won high commentator in such
important roles as Aida, FL sa, Tosca,
etc. in the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York.
At the conclusion Of her short concert
tour Madame Eames will rejoin the Met
ropolitan Opera company, but for the
New York season only. Thus the only
opportunity Of hearing this Beautiful
American" is in the only appearance she
will make at Powers on the evening OF
Nov. goth.

led by remittanoes will be filled in the
order Of their receipt. They may be sent

CUT A BEE TREE
Ona Foundon Ed Wilson'S Farm
which Yielded 100 Pounds Of
Honey.

About couple Of months ago Fred
Benton and R. E. Bliss found bee tree
in E. H. Wilson's woods south of the city
The bees were busy workers and Benton
and Bliss kept the matter quiet letting no
one into the secret of where the tree
was located except Mr.. Wilson.
Last Tuesday morning the three men
thought it would be good time to cut it
and secure the honey which they pro-
ceeded to do, taking out of the tree one
hundred pounds. The hollow into which
the bees had lodged was nearly full Of
their winter store.
1t is quite an uncommon thing to find a
bee tree now days and it makes one think
of old times to hear of the cutting of one
and especially Of securing such large
amount of honey.
Fred was the only one that got stung
but hes used to it and didn't mind it a
bit
