The coming visit of the Royal Male
Welsh Choir, who will give two per-
formances here about January 6, will
mean a very large attendance at the
Opera House. The following clipping
from the Western Mail" in connection
with this choir, should be interesting
to those who will hear them in this
city a month from now:
"On Friday morning Mr.. William
Thomas, conductor of the Royal Welsh
Male Choir received a letter from Lieu
tenant-Colonel Sir Fleetwood Edwards
which announced that he had been
commanded by the Queen to forward
to Mr.. Thomas a baton to commem-
crate the visit of the Treorchy Male
Choir to Windsor and as an acknowl-
edgment of the admirable way in
which he had conducted the choir In
their exquisite performance. The ba-
ton was received next morning, en-
closed in a fine morocco case lined
with white silk and blue velvet. The
baton is about eighteen inches in
length, near the middle is the royal
monogram V.RI., beautifully worked
in gold, diamonds, rubies and emer-
aids. Near the handle is broad band
of gold bearing the inscription, Pre-
scented to Mr.. William Thomas by
Queen Victoria, Windsor Castle, Nov
ember 29th, 1895" The choir, as well
as it's talented master is highly graft
fed and all are deeply touched by the
generosity and thoughtfulness OF her
Majesty. Mr.. Thomas received a let
ter from the Countess Of Dunraven on
Friday evening, stating that the
Queen, always thoughtful, had wired
to her after the concert stating that
she was delighted with the perform
ance of the Treorchy Choir and that
both his Lordship and herself had re-
ceived several letters from ladies and
gentlemen who formed part of the au-
dience at Windsor, expressing great
pleasure and delight at the musical
treat afforded them. The Earl and
Countess were both highly pleased at
the success of the entire affair"
The Thanksgiving Eve Dance given

ana Hotel was the event of the week.

NEW YORK, November Now
that the presidential election is over,
New Workers and particularly New
York women, are discussing the COM
ing first lady of the land" Mrs. Will
liam Howard Taft. Mrs. Taft is not
well known in New York, but New
Workers have discovered that she buys
her hats here and the city's woman
kind is interested. 1t develops that
her latest hats, those she has worn
during the campaign, were obtained
Of fhon1 TNtIrahocn1 a short
time before the election, were simple
hats, for Mrs. Taft is a woman who
dresses quietly,
The president-elect does not like pro-
nounced styles in any kind of wearing
apparel, and it was to please him as
well as herself that one of Mrs. Taft's
hats was in taupe and amethyst
shades and the other in black and
white.
The first hat was of mushroom-shap-
ed felt in the taupe or mole color,
trimmed with amethyst velvet and
wings to match. The second hat was
of black beaver on the order of
small sailor and trimmed with fancy
black and white wings.
One of Mrs. Taft's reasons for liking
New York millinery is that the woman
who sold her the hats is an old school
friend, who lived near Mrs. Taft in
Cincinnati. This is the street in which
Charles Taft, brother of the president,
lives, and where the president-elect's
family made their home during the
campaign.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Interest Apathetic and Material Con-
traction I'm Volume.

New York, July 29-Tnterest In the
stock market became apathetic today
and there was a material. contraction
In the volume of the dealings. The
speculative tone, at the same time, was
heavy Early attempts to advance
prices soon demonstrated that stocks
were being supplied to meet the bids
at the advanced prices This supply Of
stocks diminished at moderate recess
sion and left the market In a dull and
sluggish condition. There was no en-
couragement to bid up prices with the
obstacle to be met Of free selling or
ders above the market. On the other
hand there was no such urgency in the
selling as to encourage the bear party
to offer prices down. The passing Of
several events which have been looked
forward to was partly accountable for
the neglected condition of the market.
The publication of Mr. Taft's letter of
acceptance, the quarterly report Of the
earnings Of the United States Steel cor
poration and the declaration of this

forces largely as market factors with
their publication. The supplementary
sta tement given out with the report of
Steel earnings, showing an advance in
the average daily bookings during July
to 70 per cent. of the full capacity of
the works, was accepted as the most
important item in the statement for its
speculative bearing But even this was
regarded as having prompted the large
accumulation and the advancing price
In the stock which has occurred during
July. With these various items of news
out Of the way, the market showed the
usual desire for new factors to point
the next step In the speculation The
days news did not supply this factor.
Some disturbing effect was produced by
the confused reports published early in
the day Of supposed serious automo-
bile accident to William X. Vanderbilt.
