A thoroughly artistic and delightful con cert was given last night at the Audltorhim bv Madame Eames and her company. The house was comfortably filled and the are, est enthusiasm prevailed. Madame fames Is a woman of regal n-l commanding beauty. Her voice Is very fine, but not remarkable when compared with uch a one ss dembrlch possesses. Her first number on the program, recitative and aria from "Cost fan Luth." by Mosnrt. wa changed and the "Jewel Song" from "Faust" given Instead. This waa rather a disappointment, as the "Jewel Song" has been given here many, many times, and , Madame Eames ws particularly fitted to do Justice to the Mocart aria. Changing the program seemed to be the order of the evening. Instead of the group of songs which the prima donna was to sing: a. "Who Is Svlvla?" Bohnbert b. "Am Sonntag Morgen Brahms c. "Spring i . Hensrhel she gave one Strauss number and "The Song My Mother Taught Me," by Dvorak. "Spring," by Hensrhel, h adhered to and gave In. a charming manner. Her voice In the ongs waa much more effective than In the Gounod aria. She works up to fine dramatic' height.4 In her first eneor. "Th Tear' at the Spring." thin phase of her art showed plainly. She Is dramatic but not temperamental. Her Intonation 1 not always faultless. The duet at the end of th program was also changed and Faure's "Crucifix" given Instead of the duet from "Hamlet." In thi work Madam Eames and Mrs. de Oogorsa sang In a way which made one resentful at being obliged to miss the Am broise Thomas number. The company which assisted Madame Eames was. adequate In every way. The program as a whole was most satisfying. Mr. de Qogonta, the baritone, has a beau tiful, velvety, mellow voice with an occa sional tenor quality. He Is temperamental to a degree and sings his songs with ex quisite feeling snd finish. The prologue from "Pagliaccl" was given with great dramatic effect. The audience was so en thusiastic that he appeared again and sung The Toreador Song" from "Carmen." In hla group of song the way In which he used his voice, the color effects which he produced, were even more "noticeable. "La Partlda." by Alvarec, I a most lovely bit of writing, and Mr. de Oogorsa gave tt Its full worth.' In addition to the group ha sang one English bnllad. "When Thou Art Near." by Loltx. The 'cellist, Mr. Joseph Hollmun, Is "one of the old guard," A tried and thoroughly delightful musician. His numbers were re ceived with much applause. The Handel sonata In Q was given with breadth uhd dignity. Tha largo was especially well done In the variations "Symphonlque," by Boell man, aft exquisite little song, subsequently ornamented with a lovely fretwork of varia tions. Mr. Hortman showed his sympa thetlo nature and also his gift of technique. Th group of "cello numbers at the end of the program showed hj.ni In the same ar tistic and genial light. "The Spinning Wheel," his own composition, a falry-web-like thing, winning much praise. Mr. Amherst Webber, the pianist and ac companist, did splendid work. The concert wss one of the most en lov able wa have ever had. We hope Madame Eames will come back some day and sing the things Which she left out last night. MART LEARNED. COUNCIL EYESTHE MONEY Does Not Propose to Let Fire nnd Pnllec Board Rnend Any of It. The council doe not propose to let the Board-of Fire and Police Commissioners spend any of th money appropriated to take up the deficiency In the police fund for anything but policemen' salaries.

These two officers laid down tha dictum that none of the money transferred and saved by the laying off of men could ha spent for equipment for the police depart ment. This stand will be taken by the council. It Is said, and the commissioners forced to delay the new wagons until next year.
