The first big musical event OF this
season will be the song recital at the
NJ e. Church, Thursday Eve, Oct.
18th, by Emilio de Gogorza, the SPLEEN
did Spanish baritone who made such
a sensation last season with Emma
Games. Gogorza is the exception
among singers of his sex, he gives
song recitals and finds a public eager
for them. His tones are rich and full
as strong as they are rich, with clear
depth, sensuous warmth, variety OF
tonal color and unaffected masculin-
ity. These qualities make his a com
polling voice, it is individual and not
to be resisted. The concert has al
ready much real and sincere interest
among the nonmusical people especial
ly among the men. for they are fond
to a degree of listening to splendid
specimen of their sex; and as the
programme has been carefully ar
ranged with the taste of the general
public as much considered as the
special predictions Of the purely mu-
steal, the evening will be rare treat.
This recital will be the first in
series of nine lectures and recitals
given under the auspices of the Uni
versity Of Utah.

HARD TASK FOR 'RASTUS.

At a dinner which was attended by
number of clergymen, President
Buckham, of the University of Ver-
mont, told the following of Bishop
Hall, of the Episcopal diocese of Ver-
mont, in response to some good
natured chaff about the liberal views
Of the Congregational church and the
ease with which almost anybody could
DIN it. He said he had heard of a
negro who had many times applied
For membership in St. Pauls church
1T Burlington, but had not been able
to satisfy the bishop that his state Of
mind entitled him to admission. The
negro had been advised to pray that
his spiritual condition might improve.
After doing so he made a new appli-
cation. The bishop said to him:
We'll, Erastus, have you prayed as
| told you to-" "Yas indeedy, sub;

pleasure by every person in the lars"

close his identity. Before the adopted
child is two years Of age, a daughter is
born to Mrs. Tom2kins. The mother

robbed her own child. not only Of its
fathers love, hut of the property which
rghtfully belongs to it. Continued
brOoding on this one act leads her TO dis

and mis- own daughter is spoiled by the
mothers attempt to make up to her fer
having deprived her of so much The
father of the adopted daughter comes
to the farm, and secures an opportunity

he finally regans his own daughter. and

plainly told.

CURTIS ON STATEHOOD.
Bill Can Pass only With Foraker
Amendment Attached.

Special to The Daily Leader
Chicago. Jan. ls.--W. r. Curtis
wires the Chicago Record-Herald TO
day as follows: It looks very much
as II the Joint statehood bill. making
two states out OF four territories,
would be passed by both houses, but
the opposition is evidently strong
and determined enough to secure the
adoption Of what Is known as the For
aker amendment, providing that In
the case Of Arizona and Ne wMexico
the union OF the two territories as
one state shall be contingent upon the
consent OF the people Without that
provision the bill can not pass the
senate.
The advocates Of joint statehood in
sist that majority OF III epeoDle OF
both territories are favorable to their
proposition. They also repudiate the
suggestion that they are forcing
union upon an unwilling community.
Hence they can not consistently re-
fuse the "ad referendum" amend
ment understand that even sena-
tor Beveridge Is willing 70 accept #.
He told me that he had no objections.
but thus far has not officially signi-
fed his assent and It Is expected dat
be will insist that a majority on Joint
ballot. 50 TO speak, shall be accepted
.as final THAT however, win never
be agreed 10 by the opponents OF the
Joint statehood bill The Foraker
amendment provides ihat unless a
majority Of lawful voters In each OF
the territories shall accept the constl-
tuition. the action Of congress- shall be
null and void and that the two ter
riioriss shall preserve their separate
existence as At present until further
legislation.
