Grand Opera Concert.
(By Noel Loeb.)

(By Noel LOeD.)
 That the Grand Opera concert glV-' . en at the Temple Thursday night for ''the benefit of the Temple organ fuC was a success artistically, goes with out saying, and for which too much credit cannot be bestowed upon the committee in charge, nor too much thanks rendered the ladies and gen. tlemen who lent their valued assist ance to the occasion. The Temple was filled to overflowing and with the exquisitely-garbed ladies and taste fully-arranged decorations, a very pretty picture, indeed, was presented.
 The opening number, Fantasle from Verdi's immortal opera, was very we'll rendered by Mrs. Renfrow. The two piano duos fell to the hands of capable artists, and right we'll dld they acquit themselves. Mascagnl' world-famOus 1ntermezzo from ms prize opera was we'll sung by Mrs. Hirschled, and embellished by we'll played obligato The two violin solos by Miss Clare LeVinsOn, talented young lady of Little Rock, were well received. She played with great feel ing and her lowing was excellent.
 The Sextette from Lucia, so famil- far to us all, evoked hearty applause, but we should very much like to have heard either the Spinning Song from ''The Flying Dutchman," or the We'd ding Chorus from "The Rose Maid en-" written specially for feminine voices.

THE PAST WEEK.

In dntlclpatlOn of the dawn of the penitential days, the past week was favored with many charming entertainments, noteworthy among them being the afternoon card par ty of Miss Mary Lindsay, on Thurs day. The day was ideal in Spring time loveiness, and that, together with the charming personality of the hostess, made this affair, an event not soon to be forgotten.
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, the different whist clubs met with Mrs. Wiltshire Riley, H. E. Trulock and R. F. Lee. These kelubs meet weekly and are of infor- hal nature.
 Wednesday afternoon, the flaw thorne Book Club was the guest Of Mrs. R. C. Thompson, and the luncheon was one of the most unique as well as delightful social features ever given in honor of this club. An Afternoon i'll Holland With Dutch Artists" was the pro- sramme arranged in the yearbook and it was faultlessly carried out.
 Mrs. A. F. Dreyfus was hostess for the Wednsday afternoon Whist, the past week. and the party was along the same pleasant lines which are so characteristic of the meet ings of this club.
 The Grand Opera Concert which took place at the Temple Thursday evening resulted in program of clever work of many of Pine Bluffs gifted young women. It was not only we'll planned but it was per fectly carried out. It is only nec- essary to say that each number on the programme was worthy of the highest praise. Many of those who ktook part were encored liberally and Responded.
 Mir. and Mrs. I. P. Shelby were at home to the Married Peoples Euchre Club Friday evening and the euchre was of the smartest of the season.
 The meeting of the John McAl- mont Chapter. D. A. R., Saturday closed the week of social festivities. Within the next forty days the en- tertainments will be few, and how to pass the evening pleasantly and profitably during the days of so- cial inactivity. is now worrying the mind of the hostess who delights in gathering her friends about her, and who is anxious to do some special good for church or for char ity during the penitential seaso.

WASHINGTON. April 27.-Accordins
to information concerning the esti-
mated increased consumption of cot
ton in 1907, furnished by Consul Will
American cotton planters need not be
apprehensive of much reduction In
prices for 1907 Mr.. Bradley says:
The latest figures as to the number
.of new mills built since 1905 and
their capacity have Just come to hanh
They give 90 new mills. having a ca
pacity of S,S65,96S spindles. These
mills are nearly all working, or VIII
be working this year. and add an
item toward the question of the cot
ton market for the coming season.
The crop Of 1905 from all the word
was about 17.7s2.440 bales. divided as
follows: United States. 13.420.44o; East
indies. 100000: Egypt. 1,1s7.0Oo; Bra
zil. 215,O00, with other smaller lots
.rhe consumption of the crop for 1905
was about 15,506.255 bales.
The manufacturing trade has grown
during the last year. 1t is still diff
cult to get from the English mills de-
liveries of yarn. Twelve spindles con-
sumo bale OF cotton a year. on the
average. In the United Kingdom. Tho
new mills would, at this rate, add q
consumption of. say. 100000 bales. or
an addition to the consumption of 1905
OF 20 per cent. All countries produc
ing cotton fabrics seem to have
been prosperous, and for the past
eighteen months British shipments of
textile machinery to such countries
have been increasing. besides wha.
they may have built themselves. IN
der these circumstances it would not
seem excessive to add 20 per cent. TO
tho general consumption OF raw cot
ton. or. say, 3.10l,230 bales, which,
added to the great total OF 1905 of To-
5O6,255 bales, would give 1s.6O7,4S5
bales as the possible consumption for
the year 1907.
The large crop of 1904-05 was IT,
7S2,A4o bales; supposing the present
years supply to be the same. we
should have a deficit of S25,O4s bales
AS yet no great amount of cotton is
produced In any new centres. Egypt may
give a slightly increased yield, but
India, believe. will show diminished
product. 1t looks. then. as if--should
the present market for cotton yarn
and piece goods hold, which seems
probable--that American cotton plants
need not fear a much reduced price
for their staple.
