Benefit a Big Success.

The benefit performance in the inter
ests of the Sisters of ST. Joseph at the
Orpheum theater last Friday evening
was big success, both in attendance
and the high character of the numbers
When II is considered that the tickets
were sold at 10 cents and a net profit of
$44.25 was realized, some idea can be
had of the crowd.
The program in addition TO the special
picture of incidents in the life of Christ,
consisted almost wholly of musical num-
bers by we'll known local artists, the ex-
ceptio:s being Miss Hutchinson of New
York, daughter of County Clerk and
Mrs. Henry Hutchinson, and Mrs. w. T.
Buck, the charming and accomplished
wife of the Palatka agent of the Jack
sonville Metropolis.
Misses Louise Boyd and Florence Spain
gave violin solos worthy of professional
artists and were warmly applauded.
Miss Hutchinson's piano selection was
the work OF an artistic. This young lady
has given years TO diligent study under
the best masters and has been an in

ceived the heartiest applause. Mrs.
Buck gave a charming recitation, and
Miss Devereux, always favorite with a
Palatka audience, sang beautiful Sc
lection from Sergeant Kitty" followed
by ballad. Mrs. Halle and Miss BaS-
sett were accompanies for the violin
solos and Miss Devereux, respectively,
while Miss Mae Boyd accompanied her
sister.
Possibly the warmest applause was
given Mrs. Louis Kalkfield whose solo,
Listening to the Vesper Bells" re-
ceived such hearty encore that she
was persuaded to give "Pheenie," a
coon lullaby, in response, and then
again third song, "You Give Me Your
Love" Mrs. Kalbfield has a pleasant
stage presence and this coup ed with
her pleasing rendition of the several
songs was accorded the honors OF the
evening
The thanks of the sisters of ST. Joseph
is extended TO all the participants and

after they were married.
