OFF TO CONFERENCE.

With tomorrow the work of the year
in the Methodist churches of this city
will come to close. We have many
reasons to feel proud of the showing
of the churches of this denomination
during the past year. At Shorter
church, which is the largest in the
Vest, every department Of the work
has been maintained at top notch
down to the dollar money and the
usual loyal spirit Of the church and its
friends may be depended upon to
bring this up within the few days re-
naming. 1t is rare for minister new
to the conference, to say nothing Of
being new to the city where he is as
signed, to take closer hold upon the
affections Of his people than has Rev
Ward. In his personality he combines
the qualities that make for stronger
secular life among his associates as
well as for higher spiritual life in the
church. We trust his year will be fin
ished as 1t was begun.

luncheon awaited them. Mr.. Wads-

with Cheyenne and its hospitality,
and desires through the columns OF
the Statesman to express his appre-
citation for all kindness shown him.

Miss Carrie Burton of Laramie,

dor, vocalist, and by Mrs. DR.. Lucas,
dramatic reader, rendered very
pleasing musical at the Second Bap
tist church the latter part of August
Miss Burton possesses wonderful al
ent and we predict for her brilliant
future as a concert pianist. On Sep
tember 18th Miss Burton passe
through Cheyenne to Washington, D
c., where she will enter Howard Uni
versity to complete her musical educa-
ton.
Mrs. E. F. Landor went to Laramie,
Wyoming, September 1st, where she
assisted Miss Carrie Burton in a musi-
cal rendered at the University Audi
torium. The following is a clipping
from the society notes of the Laramie
Republican, which contained, on ac-
count of the concert:
"The benefit recital rendered
Tuesday evening to Miss Carrie Bur
ton by her Laramie friends and ad-
mirers was successful in every way
the audience being appreciative and
enthusiastic. The program as pub
lished in these columns was pleasing
ly rendered and the performers were
warmly applauded, being compelled
to respond to frequent encores. Miss
Burton was at her best and her audi
tors expect great things from her
when she returns from Washington.
Possibly her most popular number
was The Last Hope (Gottschalk)
which she interpreted with rare feel
ing and delicacy. Mrs. E. F. Landor
of Cheyenne, assisted Miss Burton,
and that the audience appreciated
'Wyoming's Black Patti who was
heard here for the first time, was evil
denced by the warmth of her recep-
ton. Mrs Landor's high, sweet So
prano voice has that haunting melody
peculiar to her race, and one drifts
on it's soft cadences to the dreamy
land of mocking birds and magnolia
blooms. 1t must certainly be a great
source of satisfaction to Mrs. Landor
and to Prof. Rickel and the members
of the orchestra which rendered num-
bers under his direction that they
have been instrumental in assisting
their talented young friend in her am
bition to perfect herself in music.
Over $50 was cleared from the con-
cert and Miss Burton expects to leave
for Washington the latter part of next
week where she will study two years
at Howard University.

gular Lodge business had been dis
penced with, the two orders listened
to a very interesting and encourag-
ing address from Mr.. Wadsworth,
who spoke in happy vein. Through
the thoughtfulness of Mrs. VIM. Redd,
the NJ N. G of the H. H. R., the sur
prise of the evening was sprung by
the members of the two Lodges being
cordially invited to the home of Mr..
and Mrs Landor, where dainty re-

Of the H. H. R. awaited them. The
invitation was graciously accepted
and large and merry crowd wended

CHURCH ON BRAyERRARK
WILL BE REBUILT

The Presbyterian church building
at Penrose, which was blown down by
the high wind which swept over Beav-
er Park last Thursday afternoon, will
be rebuilt as soon as the necessary
material can be collected for the pur-
pose. The structure was in course OF
erection at the time. otherwise It
would, in all probability, have with
stood the force Of the gale. The church
on Beaver Park was mission and its
place of worship was made possible
through the liberality OF the members
of the First Presbyterian church here,
who contributed most OF the funds for
its erection.
