What promises to be the finest mu-
sical concert ever given in connection
with the Shepherd College Lecture
and Entertainment Course will be
rendered in the college auditorium on

the Lyceum Grand Concert Company,
an all-star company of the highest
order. This company consists Of two
vocalists, pianiste and a violencel-
list. All music lovers will welcome a
musical organization of such high
merit, and it lie anticipated that tue
spacious auditorium Will be filled to
its utmost capacity. Two of these
musicians have achieved regulations
abroad az we'll as at home, and the
other two have won the plaudits Of
many an American audience.
A few of the many complimentary
press notices that the members OF this
company have received are appended
below:
Madame Alice Myron. Coptralto, is an
artist rith reputation in Great Brit
ian and America, and one OF the most
successful opponents Of the wonderful
art of the great teacher Georg Hen
schel. She has sung at the symphony
Concerts and the ballad concerts in
London. and was also soloist for the
tour cf the Scottish Orchestra, and
critics everywhere have sustained the
enthusiastic verdict OF the London
press. During the past two seasons she
has devoted her art TO orator,o concerts
10 America, and has made herself a
favorite everywhere she has appeared.
Madame Mvron's voice is OF unusual
beauty. power and sympathy. she is
versatile, and sings with equal charm
an aria from grand opera, simple
ballad, and the daintier music demand
ed in popular program.
Mr.. Arthur Braunberger is certainly
one OF the best equipped persons who
ever undertook his line of work. Aside
from the keen comprehension he eX
presses in his singing. he has the mag
nifcenL voice-a voice so mellow, deep
aud musical that, withOutanv apparent
effort on his part, h moves his au-
dlence at will. There is a charm ab nut
bis singing that is irresistible, and he
exhibits fine musical talent and good
taste in his work -GdIOeSfOn NsVS.
The recital given by Miss Palma An
derson developed into an enthusiastic
ovation. Many who were present at
the recital declare that Miss Anderson
is little less than a prodigy Of mu'ical
talent and ability. 500 Fails Press,

the effects are often seen in the form
of p,mples, rash, eczema or dry scaley
skin, the trouble is internal and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is alb

NAVIGATION IN AIR.
Subject of Address Last Night by
7. w. Mitchell.

Aerial navigation up to date was the
subject of lecture by j. w. Mitchell at
Grace NJ. r. Church, 9th and streets,
last night. Pictures were shown of all
The dirigible balloons and heavier-than-
air machines which have been developed
sine the art Of aerial locomotion first be-
came an established fact. Among others
was a picture of the balloon in which
Santos Dumont made his first flight
around Eiffel tower in France, and the
first steam-driven ma chine with which q
Frenchman named Clement Adler is al
eyed TO have made a flight in 1890. There
Has some question as TO whether this ma
chine had actually made the flight cred
ted to it, but the existence of the ma
chine is un1uestioned and the French be-
lieve that Alder should be given the credit
of this epocll-making achievement.
Considerable attention was devoted to
the work of the late Prof. s. =. Langley,
formerly secretary Of the Smithsonian In
stitution of this city. Secretary Langley
er he had made an International reputa-
ton as scientist in other lines. He had
the distinction of making the first I'M
questionable flight Of power-driven ma
chine May 4. 1886. Great credit was given
10 him for work In developing the science
of aviation. and number of pictures
were shown Of his earlier machines, most
Of which had never before been made
public.
There were pictures also of the Wright
and Bleriot machines and of number of
others. some of which have flown and
some Of which hope to fly. A number Of
the pictures. both of the European war
balloons and of the heavier-than-air ma
chimes were colored and gave better
Impression Of how the flying machines
look in actual practice
1t was pointed out that the ar. of hu-
man flight is now an accomplished fact
and will have to be reckoned with in
both the art of war and the development
of modern life.
