A. speaker of the House, few men
in the history of that body have

Daniel Webster. His speech on the
Cuban question was copied into -
papers in France alone. A. an ora

here.
MendeIssohn Quartet.
The Mendelssohn Quartet Com
pany the second number on the pro-
gram coming Nov. 10, is something
new in male quartets. While APP
pearing in modern evening dress they
will retain the spirit of the historic
minstrel entertainer. The historic
minstrel, it will be recalled, was re-
fined and artistic in temperament,
a combination of poet and musician
who spent his days strolling from vii
lage to village, singing his songs and
reciting his verses to all who would
hear. from the lords and ladies of
cont and castle to the humble pea
SAINT folk and children of the street,
hi, great genius lying in his ability
To adapt his verse and song to fit
any occasion, or any mood of his
listeners. In addition to their vocal
work, they will perform wish vio-
Inns and cello.
Reno, Magician.
Reno, the magician the third num-
Der of the program on Nov "a has
bn LOT
ears. lie has travelled all over the
world including India, Syria and
Egypt, studying the magic of those
lands. lie carries birds. rabbit and
goose. Very many of his tricks
are of his own invention. He gives
full two hours program.
One of his performances that never
fails to amaze an audience is known
as the dove trick. He burns a
piece of common paper, and a dove
rises phoenix like from the ashes. He
apparently tears the dove in two,
only to find that he has two doves
in his hand. He throws a glass of
water into the air and it changes i'll
To dove and flies away.
Not the least enjoyable feature of
Reno's performance is the running
fire of comment with which he enliv-
ems everything he does. These frag-
mentar remarks are full of wit, with
flash after flash of good tepered sa-
tire aimed at himself or his work.
He is man of fine personality and
an artistic appreciation of the sue
cess he has achieved in his profess
sion.

ties, another number on this forth
coming course, have few equals,
