"A Great Musical Event.

The next number of the Star
lecture course, the famous Cleveland
Ladies orchestra, which appears at
City Hall, February %, will UNI
doubtedly be one of the best at
fractions Of the kind that has ever
appeared in this city.
Ladies orchestras have been i'm
portant numbers, in fact, the head
liners, in the various lecture and en-
tertainment courses of the seasons
past. There have been very few
successful ones from every point Of
view.
The question naturally comes,
what makes organization Of this
kind a success?
These points: A thoroughly
capable conductor and we'll bal
anced company Of musicians. A
careful Instrumentation and constant
rehearsal for lights and shadings, to
give perfect and artistic musical eff
fects. Soloists of unusual merit OF
the kind that can hold their places
among the more featured artists OF
other concert companies. All these
points are needed, and more the
company must be composed Of
ladies. In presenting an orchestra
this year, the Cleveland ladies or.
chestra was selected because of the
strong number of soloists under the
direction of Alfred Metzdorf, the
great Cleveland leader and violin
soloist. 1t is company of artistic
merit, in which numbers play NJ
part not how many people, bu
kind of artists has been the pre-
dominant factor in arranging thi.
combination. In addition Mr.. Metz
dorf, violin soloist, the company Of
fers, E. Ralphine Parsons, creates
Of all lady trombonists; AID,
Hutchinson, cornet soloist of unusua
merit and reputation and Fredri
Irving, leader basso, late with Nine
Schumann-Heink, with both artist
ability and delightful personality.

Capt. Merry win Lecture.

On March 9th Capt. J. F. Merry
will deliver an address at the Meth
odist Episcopal church on the sub
ject of Citizens of the South" The
lecture which begins at eight o'clock
will be preceded by a musical pro-
gram which will commence at 1880.
The admission will be ten cents.
for all school children and fifteen
cents for all others.
Capt. Merry delivered this lecture
at Cedar Rapids last Friday evening
at the annual banquet of 'The So
ciety Of the South" The Cedar Ra-
pids Republican speaks Of Capt.
Merry's address as follows:
Mcdonnell introduced the speak
er of the evening, Capt. j. T. Merry
of Manchester, one of the most gen
ial and delightful of after dinner
speakers in the state, and a prince
of good fellows.
Captain Merry's address was
brim full of kindliness for the South,
appreciation Of the patriotism, depth
and sincerity of her sons and of the
grace, beauty and nobility of her
daughters. 1t was a tribute to the
South, gracefully worded and clio.
quently delivered-a tribute to the
South through her sons who have
added to her glory by their accom-
plishments in warlike and peaceful
pursuits. AS was most fitting, the
first to be named was the man OF
the anniversary Of whose birth the
banquet was held-George Washing
ton, a native of Virginia. And a
mong the Virginians whose name.
the country delights to honor wer,
many other presidents. And til,
greatest American Of them all, Alb
raham Lincoln, is claimed by tn
South as a son, having been born il
Kentucky. The greatest general o
the civil war and one of the coun
try's truest gentlemen, Robert L
Lee. OF course belongs near the to-
of any list Of distinguished South

erners. Capt. Merry paid a tribute
to the sterling character of Jefferson
Davis, to the gallant confederate gen.
erals. to the Southern writer's who
have added lustre to their beloved
land and who have arisen on the
literary horizon since the war, and
to the women who sacrificed the most
when the country was in peril.
Captain Merry's appreciation of
the good qualities of the South, of
the greatness of her sons, showed
the sympathy and business of his
own nature, Those qualities, to-
gether with his keen wit, sincerity
and eloquence, combined to make
of his speech the finest address
heard here in many day and one
to be cheished in memory with 9th
ers which have been heard in the
Society of the South--an organiza-
ton which knows where to get the
best speakers. That Captain Merry
touched a responsive chord in the
hearts of his hearers was abundant
ly evidenced by the warmth and cor
diality of the applause which greet
An old soldier himself, having
fought against the Southerners, and
having lived, one might say, in the
south since the war, Captain Merry
understands that section of the
country, its problems, it's material
wealth and future greatness, and
the loyal, cordial spirit of its peo-
pie better than most any northerner
one could name. And his ardor of
appreciation was communicated to
his hearers; nothing finer can be
said of a speech of that nature.
