Sundays Syracuse Success.

According TO telegraphic reports. Rev. Will
liam Ashley Sunday, D. D., met with even more
pronounced success in his campaign at Syracuse
than he did In Omaha. In all branches of fig
ures his totals are greater than those made
locally. This should not be a source of any
regret or lowering of pride for Omaha Syracuse
is situated in the densely populated Mohawk
valley, having within easy range much larger
number of people from whom to draw attendance
for the services at the tabernacle. This, natur-
ally, includes very many more sinners who
needed the saving grace Of salvation as freely
offered by Rev BILLY" and It is. therefore, but
natural that the imprisoned pleadings Of this
gifted evangelist, under these circumstances,
should be responded to by multtudes exceeding
the host who hit the trail in Omaha. His har-
vest. however. not proportionateIy greater
nor is II probable the results will be more far
reaching or longer-lasting. Omaha will cheer
fully concede that Syracuse needed him more
than we did, relying on whatever consolation may
be found in the knowledge that we did our best.

Professor Boehmer of the

pleasing and instructive recit-
al at the Opera House on
Tuesday evening. The sub

The lecture that accompanied
the Interpretation of the pleas
ing opera was very interest
ing. Mr.. Boehmer gave ev-
cry evidence of musical abil-
ity and all who are lovers of
music could well appreciate
his efforts.
The story of The Goose
Girl" is a very pleasing one.
The music which the opera
contains traverses the whole
eamut of musical modulation.
There is sufficient pathos, gai-
ETY. and tragedy to occosion an
ideal musical discourse.
