detective who followed her to Paris.
The audience is convinced that the

interest in the trial which soon resolves
itself into a cross fire between the
prosecuting counsel and the witness.

Music and Musicians
Van vIiet. Dutch ,ceIIist.

The initial attraction for the artist
course, arranged for the season, by the
Fargo conservatory, was the appear
| ance, at Stones music hall, last night,
of the distinguished violin-'cellist, Cor
nelius Van Vliet, who is to be the solo
| 'cellist for the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra. Though yet only a young
man he has made a brilliant success
in the mastery of his chosen instru-
| ment. Fargo has heard other famous
artists on the instrument, but never
| before one who was more completely
satisfactory upon first hearing.
The great player was assisted ny
Manzanita E, Stephens, soprano; n
Helen Won Publ pianist; and he was
accompanied by Lillian c.. Wright, who
| displayed wonderful talents as an ac-
companist for she had no opportunity
whatever for rehearsal, a helated train
| precluding a meeting with the 'cellist
until about Ave minutes before enter
ing the hall for the recital, However,
the player and Miss Wright, through
out the difficult programme, were en-
rapport and 1t was easy to see that
the artist was well pleased with the
execution and perfect sight-reading of
his accompanist. Veterans in the au-
dience said it was wonderful how Miss
Wright ~surmounted the difficulties of
following the artist in the opening
group of the programme, which was
as follows:
Cello-sonata ........... G. Valentino
Ca Grave, Allegro. N
CD Tempo di Gavotte.
(c) Largo, Allegro (Finale).
Piano-Trovatore ~Paraphrase 49,.

CD To a Wild Rose ............

(c) Tarantella ......... ID. Pepper
All of the players numbers were
eXquisitely played and the a%stonished
audience realized more han ever that
they were listening to one who was
throwing his whole soul into the ar
tistry of tin music he was rendering.
The Elcgie, by Schravesanda, and the
Mozart Minuette were accorded quick
appreciation, and it was no wonder
that he was recalled and graCiously
responded with The Swan, by Saint
Saens, in which he again demonstrated
his wonderful gift OF maintaining a
fine tone-especially his singing tone
from his instrument.
Both Miss Won Publ and Mrs
Stephens CAV great pleasure in the
numbers they contributed and both
were recalled and responded with ad-
d%itional numbers. Mrs. Stephens shows
Improvement after her work durine

Presbyterian Church Concert.

1t is to hoped that many more tick
cts were sold for the benefit concert,
given by the choir of the Presbyterian
church, Thursday night, than were
represented by the audience in the
seats-a goodly one, but there were a
number of vacant seats about the au-
ditorium. The beneficiary of the con-
cert was the pipe organ fund in which
there was a small balance due the
builders of the instrument. 1t is a
fact, patent TO all who heard the pro-
gTamme presented by the musical end
Of the church, that the ladies and gen
tlemen did their share to liquidate the
debt.
There were a few rough edges in
the execution of some of the vocal
numbers, but no more than will hap
pen In the best regulated musical fam
lilies. The tenor in the quaTtette evil
IDENTITY had INDUCED in more Aavanas
than were good for his voice and when
he wanted a certain high note it was
not there.
AS usual Mr.. Kammerling gave great
pleasure with two numbers on the
great organ and once he was obliged
to respond to a recall.
II faces are an index, the vocal gem
of the evening was the rendition Of
Mendelsshon's Hear My Prayer, a
quartette with a soprano solo. This
was beautifully sung and 1t was easy
to see that the audience liked 1t. Mrs.
Ernest Wright and Mrs. H. H. Wheel
ock contributed a splendid rendition
of Hildach's duet, Passage Birds Fare
well, to which they had to respond to
a recall and did so with a very dainty
Conceit which suited their voices ad-
mirably. The seXtette, from Lucia,
arranged for a quartette, replaced one
of the programme numbers, Greeting
to Spring. A piano number, Liebe-
stratum No. 3, by List, played by Mr..
Kammerling, was we'll received.
The arrangement Of the programme
was delightfully."- varied with two read
ings given by Mrs. Blanche Boyden
Hutchinson. The first, An Irish Fairy
Play, by Yeats, a splendid opportun-
ity for the display of the readers tai
ents. 1t was perfectly memorized and
he several characters naturally, por-
trayed, but h selection was unfortu-
nate for the occasion-it was too deem,
too serious and too long. 1t would be
cruel to tell the reader how many of
her hearers she sent fast asleep, but
probably she was just as much aware
of it as was the writer. However, Mrs.
Hutchinson redeemed herself in a sec
ond number. in the choice Of which she
