BlauveIt Tour Great Success.

MY concerts with Nine. Blauvelt
are booming great" writes Director
Chapman to an Augusta friend. "One
house is all sold out, several others
practically so. and with such magnifi-
cent artists, your city hall ought to be
packed to the DOORS
Since the announcement of this
tour six cities have applied for con-
certs and offered large guarantee
funds, but as Nine. Blauvelt soon sails
for Europe it has been necessary to
refuse them. Tell all my Augusta
friends that they have a great treat in
store for the evening ot Dec. 18th"
The singing of Irish songs by Mr..
John F'innegan is still fresh in the
minds of those who attended this
years festivals, and the celebrated
tenor has a large supply of new ones
for Augusta.
OF the phenomenal violinist who will
assist Nine. Blauvelt, Mr. Chapman
writes: ITO all lovers of violin music,
Jaime Overton will be great sur
prise and delight. | am wonderfully
enthusiastic over this new find."-Adv.

ORIGIN OF THE HARP.
Evolved From the Lyre of the High
Priest of Osiris.

The history of the piano counts as
Gay compared to the harp. We have
authentic records that as early as
1900 B. c. the first Tyre was evolved
from the mind of the high priest of
Osiris, who in one of his daily walks
along the banks of the river Nile
found an empty tortoise shell spanned
with dried ligaments. Happening to
strike it, he noticed that it gave forth
pleasant sounds. and he at once made
an instrument on the plan of the tor
toise shell.
From the Tyre it was but an easy
step to the harp now the most famous
instrument in the world. Milesius, one
OF the Phoenician priests, carried it
with him in his conquest to Ireland,
and there he planted it among the
music loving Celts in 1860 b. C. The
royal instrument became controlling
feature in druidical worship, and the
harpist or bard ranked with royalty.
the prophet and the priest. The
druids advanced the harp from eleven
to thirty-two strings and crowned
their efforts in its improvement by the
evolution of the pillar, which has ever
since found universal adoption.
Our modern harp consists of forty
five or fortyseven strings, seven ped
als-one for each note in the octave
and the wonderful instrument shares
with the piano and organ the faculty
of being autonomous-that is to say, it
needs no accompaniment and furnish
es both melody and harmony.-Miss
Loretta De Lone in New York Trib-
