MRS. BLOODGOOD TO APPEAR.
The Well Known Artist Will Be Heard at
Mr. Carter's Concert.
George B, Carter has about completed
arrangements for the appearance of
Miss Katherlne Bloodgood, the famous
contralto of New York city, for his
vocal concert next Monday evening.
Miss Bloodgood Is a handsome lady of
"Gibson" figure with a voice ranging
from E below the staff to B above, and
of superb quality. At the same concert
will appear a young non-professional,
whose name Mr. Carter Is not allowed
to give, with a range from O below tho
staff to the Eiffel tower a above the
staff, made famous by Sanderson.
Nothing preventing, these two singers
will appear with Messrs. Wooler and
Thomas, and a silver collection will
allow any one to hear them. Mr. Car
ter begs to Infor'm the public that very
few pennies or nlckles are made of
sliver, and in view of the silver agita
tion they cannot be accepted as legal
tender. No one admitted without an
offeringtof some coin,
TO RECOVER $20,000.
