AIFORNIA HOLOCAUST KILLS SIXTY
BEN HUR RECITAL
 DECIDED SUCCESS

The recital of Ben Hur at Elks' hall last night was an unqualified success. Mrs. J. c. Mcbride captivated the large audience by her splendid work. Gen. Lew Wallace's great masterpiece suits her personality and offers eXcep- tional chances for bringing out the dramatic ability which she possesses in remarkable degree. In her con- ception of the characters she de- scribed, she displays keen percep- tion, and in the emotional parts her work was grand. She reviewed the great novel from the arrangement of the bosom friends, Judah" (Ben Hur) and "Messala," through to the cleans ing of the formers mother and sister of leprosy; the scene following the cleasing from leprosy was brought out with magnificent tact and precision. The description of the sea fight and the rescue; the final conquest in the chariot race were brought out with splendid effect and held the closest attention of the audience.
 Mrs. McBride's work was enhanced by the excellent performance of the or ganizations that assisted in the en- tertainment. The mixed chorus com posed of the members of the Juneau Ladies' Musical Club and the Orpheus Club, under the direction of Willis E. Novel;, the capable conductor of those organizations, rendered "Glory to God" from Handers Messiah" as the finale to part first, and the Hal lelujah Chorus" from the same work at the conclusion of part fourth. Mr. Harry J. Fisher sang with great feel ing "Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold" at the conclusion of part second. and the Juneau High School Band played an appropriate selection at the conclusion of part third which contained the description of the char tot race. Mrs. Royal A. Gunnison pre- sided at the piano and her work was faultless. The music furnished was all excellent, and the choruses prove that Mir. Nowell has two excellent or ganizations under his control. MT. Schell has improved the Juneau Dand wonderfully in the past few months.
 The ladies of the chorus rom the Musical Club were: Mesdames Law renee, Gabbs, Petit, Novel;. Mc- Naughton, Kaser, Woodford, Valen- tine, Hooker, Vim, Burford, Fr1es man. Nelson, Sigman, Kashevaron, Davis. and Misses Hero, Chambers. McGin, Chapin. The gentlemen or the chorus from the Orpheus Club were A. A. Gabbs, H. J. Fisher, b. D' Blakeslee. A. w. Rhodes, A. Ferte' w. c. Irish, E. D. Vaut, Cedric Da- wis. T. J. McCaul. J. H. King, l., O.. Egginton, J. B. Stevens, c. B. Walker GTy McNaughton and J. w. Bell.
 The sum realized from the enter tainment will form the necleus or a fund with which to establish a good public library that is to be estao' Iished on the completion of the new high school building. With this ne cIeus which is not unimportant 1t IS believed that the library will speedily grow into a great institution and be- come a source of recognized usetul, ness to the community. The inltial movement of Mrs. J. c. McBride 10 establish a creditable public library in Juneau was pronounced success

 Persons on board the steamer Dora got a good view of the old mountain as the vessel passed, enroute to Sew ard. The columns of smoke were clearly discernable for a great dis tance.
 Other volcanoes to the west are also active. Smoke was seen emanating from Paviof, Shusheldin, Cape Doug las and Illiamna.
