The ROSE MAIDEN.
Given by the Wausau Choral
Society, at the Opera House,
on Friday Evening

The very beautiful cantata, The
Rose Maiden" was given at tine opera
house, on Friday evening, by the Wan
sau Choral society, under the able direc-
ton of Edwin Howard The seats on
the lower floor of the opera house were
all taken by the lovers of music of Wau-
sau and from adjoining cities. 1t was
the second time the Choral society had
given the cantata. The first time was
year ago, when it was received with
so much enthusiasm and so thoroughly
enjoyed that it was decided to give it
again, MIR. Howard was also director
at that time.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Howard returned
to the city, in May, occasional rehears-
ais have been given for the entertain
ment, until each one was fully prepared
to carry out his or her part. Especially
can this be said of those who took the
principal parts
The curtain was raised at $50 o. clock
and seated upon the sage were the
members of the Choral society, number
ing about So persons; Cones orchestra,
Mrs, Speer, accompanist, and Mr. How
ard, director. The ladies', with only a
few exceptions, were attired in white
and each wore rose. The stage deco
rations We're large lunches of peonies,
all of which made a very pretty picture.
from the very start, every moment of
the entertainment was enjoyed, and it
was the universal opinion that 1t was
amongst the best ever given in our city.
All of the solos and ehoruses were es-
pecially we'll rendered and received
with enthusiasm The soloists for the
Mrs. George Hart, Mrs Edward Boehm,
Miss Mary Harger and Mr.. Alfred Will
son, all we'll known voealists. of our
city. The applause aud enthusiasm
with which each one was greeted was
richly deserved.
At the close of the Rose Maiden there
WAS brief intermission and then the
evenings program was continued
Much interest was manifested in the
next number, which was by Miss Mary
Harger. Miss Harger has been study
ing voice culture in Boston for the past
two years and it was her first appear
ance since that time in public enter
tainment. She sang, 30 Had | Jubals
Lyre,n by Handel, which resulted in
her winning an ovation which she just
ly merited. She possesses a lyric so
prano of remarkable purity and flexi-
bility. She responded to a prolonged
encore by singing, much to the delight
of all.
The feature of the evening was the
scene and duo from the second act of
the opera Carmen" with Mrs Howard
as Carmen" and Mr. Howard as Don
Jose." They appeared III costume and
the singing and acting was greatly en-
joyed by those present. 1t was fitting
climax for such splendid evenings
feast of music
The character of the entertainment,
and the patronage extended to it was
in itself a testimonial to the talented
Mr.. Howard, and was strong
evidence of his high standing in this
The PILOT cannot close its account of
the Choral society s entertainment with
out saying that Mrs. E. V. Speer in no
small measure, assisted in the success
of the evening by her splendid work as

Gus accident at the Dutch Market held
under the auspices Of the Bloomfield and
Glen Ridge Auxiliary to the Essex County
Homeopathic Hospital at Belleville avenue
and Broad street, Bloomfield, Saturday
afternoon during the gale and rain storm.
The wind blew the largest tent on the
grounds down and e%nveloped beneath Its
folds about twenty young women who were
assisting Mrs. A. Romaine Pierson, OF
Glen Ridge, chairman of the committee In
charge of the market"
The women became hysterical and their
screams could be heard above the noise
made by the wind and rain. To add TO
their danger the oil stove used in the
restaurant section of the market set fire
to the tent. but the flames were quickly
extinguished by william Gardner, of Or
ange, who crawled under the tent and
~extinguished the blaze, but not before his
hands were painfully burned. After ne had
performed this heroic act, Gardner pulled
the folds of the tent aside and assisted all
the young women to get out. In this work
he was helped by others. No one was
hurt, but all were badly frightened
The rain caused n postponement of the
affair, and whether 1t will be abandoned
altogether will be decided by the managers

Several trees were blown down through
lout town and borough.
