Thoro is probably not that porson liv
ing who does not appreciate, to somo ox
tont, tho aweot strains ot music. Some,
while totally ignornnt of tho distinction
betwoen music of a higher and lowor
grade, Iovo music rogardloss of how it is
produced. Tho illltorato and tho reftnod
of all races, tribes and kindrod lovo tho
melodious strains of n woll manipulated
instrument. It mnken tho oheerlMS
choerful, and tho sad glad; it enthuses
tho glowing mind with a roal fooling of
hnppinr-RS, which probably nothing but
music could do; it furnishos tho rcetlosB
feet of many unsocial gathering with suf
ficient exorcises, and makos tho irropres-
siblo negro give vent to bis lovo ot music
with a familiar jig danco.
Tho good pooplo of Rod Cloud always
manifest their appreciation ot a musical
ovont by their proaonco nnd cooporntion.
Iho Sons of Votoraus band havo for
many montlm past been growing rapidly
in public favor, and when thoy declared
thoir intention somo weeks hIiico to givo
n grand musicalo, every music lover pre
dicted an interesting and successful on
tortniuniont, and it goes without saying
that tho doings nt tho opera houso Tues
day night fully confirmed, thoir surmises.
Every follow and his brother wero thero
with their wives, and oven thoir mothers-in-law,
In othor words, tho hoilse was
chock full. Altogether, tho progrummo
was oxcollont, and almost faultlessly ren
dered. O. C. Boll, tho goninl "papa" ot tho
band, presided admirably as stago man
ager nnd prompter, besides doing his
share in tho musical program. From
tho timo tho evont was suggested, ho
took an active part for which ho deserves
crodit, and was rowarded by saluting a
crowded houso.
Theovorturo "Nuggot Noll," beginning
tho exorcises, was u difficult ono indcod.
It was rendored by tho entiro band and
elicited vociferous appluuso.
In tho quintet entitled "Hunter's
March" by Millor, Hendrick, West, Dick
orson nnd Putmor, tho nudionco con
ceived a marked improvomont, and tho
selection was well rocoivod.
Oscar Patraor covorod himtolt all over
with glory in his tuba solo, ontitlod
"Rocked in tho Cradlo of tho Deep," and
was loudly oncorod.
Tho "Dream of Glory" with piano and
cornet by Honry Clarko and Miss Lillio
Smith was strictly first-class. Both woro
perfectly composed nnd proved thorn
selves porfoctly familiar with the eoloo
tion and to possess much musical talent.
Thad McNitt nnd Prof. Geo. Hondrick
with thoir violins, accompanied by Miss
Grace Fort at the piano rendered an ox
collont selection in a highly croditablo
manner.
Harry Millor achioved many laurels in
tho rendition of his "Cyclone." Harry
is fast becoming an oxcollont musician.
Ho is an indofatigablo worker and will
somo day occupy a prominent placo in
his profession.
"Splintors" is tho sparkling cognoman
of a modley played by tho Misses Mary
and Murgurot Minor Mies Murgarot
with tho violin and Miss Mary the piuno.
This seloction was unusually woll ro
coivod nnd encored, and was responded
to with a most beautiful classical selec
tion which won tho praiso ot tho entiro
nudionco.
The "Four VngB" was indood a pecu
liar solcction, nnd tho novel apparal
which attired tho pactieipants' attracted
morq attention than tho music. Tho
vngs presented a most ludicrous appear
ance, in faot, they would maks tho tun
ny valontmes aehnmod of themselves.
Of course, they wore oncorod, and tho
way they responded was as graceful as a
hirod man starting out for a day's work,
or an educated pig attempting a speech
Willio'Wost's mouth bore a resemblance
to a largo crack in a cako of limburger
cheese, whilo Oscar Patraor's pants woro
as ridiculous as Chub Warren's shoos,
which were not at varianco with Harry
Miller's tune no ho walked on the stage.
Of course, it was all burlesque, and, as
such, served satisfactorily.
Special praise was lauded tho ladies'
quartet consisting of Mrs. Martin, Mrs.
West, Miss West and Miss Blanche Sel
la rfl. Thoir voicos seemed to blend har
moniously in "O Lovoly Stur." Thoy
wero loudly encored and rocoivod many
complimentary remarks. Tho selection,
"Nuturul Spell," by tho nbovo quartet
with Albright, Cot ting, Castor und Clark
was indeed a "etunnor'' und convulsed
tho n'u'diejico.
One ot the most beautiful selections
was tho finale which concluded tho ex
orcises of tho evoning ontitlod "The
Night Bell," supported by tho strength
of tho ontiro band.
Tho "Vuas Wultz" by Prof. Hondrick.
O. C. Bell and Hurry Miller, accompa
nied by Miss Jennie Boll with tho piano,
was suporb, and spoken ot in tho high
est terms, whilo tho vocal and piano
duot, entitled "Evening Shades" was
ono of tho go ins ot tho evening's enter
tulnmont. This selection wus rondorod
by Mrs. Gertie Dickerson und MIbs
Lillio Smith, while Iho Misses Mury
Minor und Nellie West presiding ate tho
piano. Thoir voices woro rich, soft, aweot
untl well cultivated, and any lover of u
thrilling feinulo voice could listen for
hours to u repetition of "Evoning Shudes"
especially with such beautiful ncconi
puniinonts. This is a sJimsy description, touching
on tho most noticeable feutures ot tho
evening's exorcises; suffice to say, every
one waa satisfied, and thoro wero no re-

A. II. GnAv'fl Finn. Last Saturday
night about 11:30, during tho severo
snow storm, firo was discovorod in tho
houso occupiod by Diok Gray. The
alarm was immediately sounded and,
notwithstanding tho violence ot tho
storm, was responded to by a largo body
of firemen and willing neighbors. Every
thing was dono to save tho building, and
in thoir stronuouB efforts, Diok Gray
und Beach Robinson came near losing
thoir lives. They woro Inside tho burn
ing building, in total darkness, and tho
door becamo locked. Tho smoko ovor
camo thorn, and in tho doneity of smoke
and'darkness they wore unable for somo
timo to locate tho lock. This thoy finally
succeeded in doing however, and wero
prostrated for somo timo after roaohing
oport'nir. Tho houso was nicely fur
nished, und ovory effort was put forth to
save, at least, a small portion ot tho
property. Nothing but afew bedclothes
woro saved, and, while tho building wus
not entirely dostroyod, tho contents
woro entirely consumed, Ouly about 40
per cent ot tho contents were insured,
and as a conscquonco, the loss falls heav
ily on Mr. Gray. Tho main loss which
Dick doplores, is tho loss ot his books
containing valuablo records for yeuie
back. At the timoof tho first alarm,
Mr. Gray and wifo woro absent and just
on tho point ot returning home.
