the best of care and attention. He
! said the nurse in charge OF the case
| was a woman Of many years eXper'
fence, and there was no need for wor'

not help but be comfort to any moth
err at such a time. and the personal
interest such as was displayed in this

The concert number Of the winters
! entertainment cc''rse which was Civ
en- at the opera ! ,use Tuesday eve
ming. proved the best Of anything in
its line which has been offered a
Denison audience for some time. The
Chicago Orchestral Choir is composed
of musicians of exceptional merit. and
their playing and singing was appre'
ciated in Denson. Madame Helen
| Caferelli, the soprano. held her hear
ers enraptured, and the audience ap'
plauded most heartily for more of her
rich music The leading violinist was
Miss Alice Livingston Kent, and her
solo work seemed faultless. Over all
was the leader. Jarosao Cimera. the
trombone sOlOist, who was led to re-
spond to an unusual number of en-
cores, by the very appreciative audi.
ence, and the excellent facilities at
forded by our auditorium for the rem
dition of such music. The soloists
were strengthened by other artists
four in number, who showed prOficien-
cy on their various Instruments.
| The number in attendance was cut
down somewhat by the wedding fes'
tivities at the Kuehnle home. never
theless good sized audience greeted
! the entertainment. The talent Of this
years course has proved exception
ally good, and il the other numbers to
be given rank with what we have al
ready had. we feel assured that the
people will be satisfied, and that little
trouble will be had in securing lee
ture course for next winter.
