 Her rendition of the different numbers was both artistic and accurate and showed that she had devoted much time and hard study. Mrs. O'Neil is well known in Bessemer and she has quite a large music class here.
 MT. Boone has one of the finest tenor voices ever heard in this city and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon him for the manner in which he rendered the different numbers. It appears, however, that he is no stranger to the music-loving public, as he sang for a number of years in light opera and for that reason a great deal was expected of him.
 He proved beyond a doubt that he has wonderful control of his voice, and he handled the several difficult numbers with the ease and style which is only main tained by a singer who had devoted much time and study.
 Miss Handley ac accompanist was good and to her efforts as much as those of any of the others is due in a great measure the success of the entertainment.
 It is to be regretted that the crowd was not larger. but it must be said those who did attend were charmed with the evenings entertainment.
 Big Fine.
 Henry Brown, colored, was fined in the mayors court this morning to the tune of $S7 50 and costs for stealing hats, clothes and shoes from the store of M Wygransky on Nineteenth street night before last.
 From the evidence given it appears that the negro would have gotten everything in sight had not someone scared him away. As it was the theft was consid- erable, but fortunately most of the stolen goods were recovered.
 Detective Patton worked up the case against the negro and he landed him about 30 minutes after he hard about it. A man named Louis Costa was charged with receiving some of the goods, but he was turned loose

 No man has tried harder to carry out this advice than you, Horace. Lave Cross leaves this morning for 1 French Lick Springs and will take long rest at the Indiana springs before he thinks about shining in any more dusty diamond disputes.
 The veteran claims that he is crammed full of malaria, and says he will boil it out first of all. And Lave is looking something to the sere and yellow. al though he is naturally swarthy and very tanned. He was expecting Frank to re- lease him, the Dutchman, in fact, having a hard time persuading the Major to come down and join the Pelicans in the spring, because Cross was anxious to quit the game before he fell down and had to. The recall of Huber gave Lave an excuse to remind Frank of his promise to let him out as quickly as possible, and it was a very sour-faced and reluctant manager that wrote the release Sunday afternoon and skipped out without telling any of his friends of the matter. Lave Cross never played for his release. and always gave the best there was in his shop. He said yesterday that New Orleans was all right and the Pelicans will always have his best wishes, but he needed rest and was glad to cut out work for time.
 His home is in Cleveland, although he owns property in Philadelphia and sev- eral other northern points-New Orleans Picayune.
