terest Flattering Sundays Program.
The afternoon programat the Taber-
torium drew a good attendance, when
tie day Saturday. was taken into con-
liberation, as many had to prepare for
sunday at their homes and were kept
away.
The program at 2;l5 O'Clock was
little delayed, bat the violin solos to

fne selection was Kammenoi Ostrow,"
by Rubenstien, the second was "Sere-
uade" by Drdla For an encore she
played the touching Cradle Song"
by Starke, which was full Of sonl-stir-
Ing music.
The lecture by Prof. Chas. Lane was
sort OF random address, or Talks
and Takers" as announced on the
program. Many Of his sarcastic re-
marks imply more Than some people
realize, and occasionally some interval
OF time would elapse before the fall
meaning would appear. He is a schol-
arly talker, and has won friends in
Gainesville who will be glad to see him
again.
Evening Program.
The program for the evening was
strictly musical treat. The first was
the appearance OF the favorite violin
virtuoso, Miss Charlotte Cooke, who
had two excellent numbers, the first
being the "Swan Song" by Saint
Scans, her second being an "Inter-
mezo" by Mascagui. The cordiality
shown Miss Cooke by the audience
must have been very fattering to this
accomplished violinist.
Following Miss Cooke came the Chica-
goLyceum Ladies' Quartette, one Of the
most successful musical organizations
that has ever been in this section
Of the country, having met with
very AatterinR success both in the
South and West, and been on their
tour for eight months, one of the long.
est seasons of any ladies' organization
in this country. The company COM
prises the popular lyric soprano, Ma
dame Cones, first soprano; Elizabeth
Pournell Stuart, second soprano aud
manager; Gertrude Goodwin Miller,
first alto and dramatic reader, and An
ma Houser, second alto and lady bari
tone.
The program was made up Of some
OF the choicest music, consisting OF
quartets, solos, ETC., and the harmony
OF the voices were even better than at
their first appearance, having had a
short rest from the fatigue OF their
journey in reaching this city Madame

The Cold In Alaska.

David T. Hamburg, writing Of his
FIRST experiences in Alaska, said: ''The

most palatial examples Of domestic
architecture which Dawson City could
at that time boast, but the author
stuck to the cult of the morning tub

feet, wrenching with great effort the
soap from beam hard by, slipped

and over we went, soap, tub and my
self, all separated in different quarters
Of the room. Those two minutes had

ceremonx Of Introduction.

There can be no question as to the
safeguard thrown around society gen.
orally by the ceremony Of introduce
ton. The man or woman of the world
who has become possessed OF the prop
er savior faire may speak to whom he
or she pleases. because it is never his
or her pleasure to speak to the wrong
person, says the st. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat.
But the introduction is an essential.
and the introducer should be held re-
sponsible. Nothing SO evidences the
proper knowledge of the correct as
ones way Of introducing younger
to the older. the maid to the matron.
the man to the lady. These are correct
as well as that the distinguished guest
should always have others presented
to him or her. not he presented to
them.
Names should always be most dis
tinctiy pronounced, as much embar-
rassment results and sometimes greet
mistakes. 1t is pleasant to mention a
mutual acquaintance also in making
lntroductions.

A THRIFTY TENOR.
TamrgnO Walked. but His Carriage
Bill Had to be Paid.

Several years ago tenor named
Tamagno was engaged to come to
America and sing at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York. He was paid
$1,000 night. This is sum which
would make many people willing to
put up with small extra expenses. But
not so Tamagno. Before leaving Eu-
rope lie made stipulation that he be
furnished with carriage to and from
the opera house every night. This was
inserted in the contract.
When he arrived he found carriage
waiting ut the pier. He rode uptown
always at the expense of the opera
company-and took a look around.
Then he decided to put up at the Marl-
borough hotel, which happens to be
only three short blocks from the Metro
politan Opera House Every time he
sang he walked up to the opera house,
refusing to take carriage. He said
he had just as soon walk. When 1t
came time for him to return to Europe
he presented bill for over 5000 "for
carriages to and from the opera"
"But you didn't take carriage" said
the manager of the opera company.
Tamagno bowed low and invited the
manager to look at the contract. He
repeated the same suggestion whenever
anything was said about it. The re
suit, of course, was that the 5000 had
to be paid. He stood out for it with
as much insistence as IL he hadn't
seen dollar for month, and all the
time he was getting $1,000 a night.
