mmnmm' .J -J. j Jr J HT1Hft THE COURIER. AlibS 1 uttle'sKecital. Lincoln Is known abroad In many ways and not least by the singers that have gone from her midst. Miss Daisy Tuttle pave a farewell recital at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday niRlit preparatory to becoming one of these singers who are to herald our musical abilities to the world a't large. The audience was not large and yet the lower part of the hall was quite well filled. No musician could have asked for more sympathetic hearers. There was a little ripple of fellow feeling throughout the hall which did not show Itself noisily, although a num ber of encores were asked for. MIS3 Tut:le was grea'tly aided- by "Wilhelm Lamprecht violinist and Miss Grace GrifTith pianist. The program was nicely arranged to relieve the musicians. Miss Tuttle's voice is so well known that It need hardly be de scribed. Sae sustains well her tones, which are sweet and clear and In so doing also avoids the ever painful tremolo. But one or wo of her selec tions required the lower notes of her compas?, but these showed that her voice was well rounded and pleasing In her lower as well as higher tones. Her selections were largely of a romantic or der. The Jewel song from Paust at the close was Just as entranc ing as ever to those. who heard I:. Miss Tuttle's best work was in Nevin'a happy little shepherd song that has made so many friends In Lincoln. The subordination or Instrument to the music Is understood by Mr. Lam precht. As he played one forgot about the Instrument, too often, alas, are in s.rument of tccture. In the beauty of pound. The violin had a story to tell and told it. Miss GrifTith Is coming into promi nence both as a careful accompanist and a pleasing soloist. Her rendition of Hollaender'3 music showed strength. -She was in touch witn Moszkowskl's soft but spirited composition. Miss Tuttle sang as encores to her first appearance "Tatters" and to the "Snow Song" "Dainty Little Love." Mr. Lamprecht when called back after the Wlenfaskl number played Schu mann's "Traumerel." The program is here given: Par; first Marsch, Hollaender, Miss Griffith. "For All Eternity," with violin obla gato. Mascheronl, MIs3 Tut'tle. Nocturne, Bohm, Mr. Lamprecht.

Just the thing we have needed) the Columbian Cyclopedia Library, con sisting of the Columbian encyclopedia, which Is also an unabridged dictionary thirty-two volumes of aonvenlent size neatly bound, four volume3 of thean nual cyclopedic review, tour volumes of current hlstoryfor 1S0G, one Columbian atlas and the neat convenient revolving oak cas ewlth glass doors. From the evidence obtained we find that some part of this work is placed In the best private and public library In this country an dabroati. for the reason that they cover a field relative to the past, present and future progress and achievements of the human race not attempted by others. The plan Is original, and the work throughout is carefully and ably written. Current history contains 220 pages, is issued two months after the close of each quarter, this length of time being taken to reduce all Information received to be an absolutely reliable and authentic basis. If these are kept on file, this magazine will prove a permanent and Invaluable record of all Important movements in political, social religious, literary, educational scientific and Industrial affairs. The magazine will be lndispenslble to all people who have encyclopedias, as it will be needed to keep these works up to date. To those who do not own encyclopedias it will be doubly valuable as their source of information is more limited. About March of each year the four volumes of current history are bound into one volume, known as the Annual Cyclopedic Re view. There are now four of these bound volumes covering yearslS92-3-4 and 5. The work has for endorsers and subscribers in this city and state such people as Mr. Gere. edltor-Inchlef of the Lincoln State Journal., Hon. Joe Bartley, state treasurer, Hon. W. J.
