OLD FOLKS CONCERT.
Given at V. M. C. A. Hall far tho Benefit
f the Bines.
"Ye Old Folks' Ooncerte" was repeat
ed at the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation hall last night for the benefit
of "The Hlues." Features that made
the concert specially notable were the
appearance for the last time at a con
cert of John T. Watklns prior to his
departure for Kurope one week from
tomorrow-, and the singing of an orig
inal song by Captain Dolph li. Ather
tn. of "The Blues."
In hoening number all of the sing
ers were heard and this was followed
by a duett by Mrs. Meckel and Miss
Hlohel. An Hauler Anthem was sung
In concert and Mr. Woolor was then
heard In one of his own compositions,
"Sweet Mule Mary," which the audi
ence received with every evidence of
favor. Miss Julia O. Allen's perform
ance on the violin was one of the treats
of the concert. She was compelled to
respond to several encores.
A broad smile stole over everybody's
face when Captain Atherton attired as
Rube Hayseed uppeared upon the
stage. The smile expanded Into a laugh
when in a peculiar nasal tone of voice
he began to sing to the tune of "Yankee
Doodle" about the glories of "The
Wins." The audience was so pleased
with the captain's imnersonatlon and
song that It continued to encore until
all of the singer's stock of verse was
exhausted. Ke then had to crave the
indulgence of his audience and permis
sion to retire.
"Cousin Jedediah" was sung by Mr.
Whltteiiiore, the other singers Joining
In the chorus. Mr. Wooler and the
chorus snug "Old Folks at Home." and
Llewelyn Jones was heard to good ad
vantage ill "Out of the Deep." "The
tiypsles" was the title of the song III
which John T. Watkins was heard. It
was peculiarly suited to his sweet voice
and aroused greut enthusiasm In the
audience.
CI1II1I of Mortality" rendered by Mrs.
Hiewster, Miss Margaret Jones, Moses
Morgan und Mr. Wooler was one of tin1
most enloyable numbers of the eve
ning. Miss Richmond and Mr. Jones
were the accompanists.

were rendered by the chorus as the
closing number. A good sized audi
ence heard the concert.

SOME FINE SARCASM.
When the secretary hud finished
TSMding, President Mltcneii remargeu
thlat he had permitted the reading of
the opinions out if consideration of Mr.
Welsh. That gentleman, he went on
to say. was chalrmun of the building
committee which employed Mr. Nots
and having discovered that It had mude
ft mistake had taken this means to con
fess its error and warn the noaru
against future mistakes of this kind.
Mr. Welsh did not noa approval in
this interpretation of his motives. In
stead, he made the contention that un
der the former opinion of the solicitor
his committee had rightfully and legal
ly employed Mr. Notz. and, to show
how honest he was In this conviction,
he moved that Mr. Notz be paid for his
work up to the time of the rendering of
this luter opinion, severui menioers.
Including the president and Mr. Notz
himself, argued ngainst tnis on tne
grounds of Illegality, and the motion
was not put to the house.
Another long-winded tilt toog place
between Mr. Jennings and Mr. Worm
ser. The former wanted to have a
resolution adopted Instructing the dif
ferent committees to have their esti
mates in by Monday, April 20, so that
the finance committee could frame its
report of appropriations and fix the
tax levy by Monday, April zi; men me
report could be laid over for a meeting
and vet be passed within the appoint
ed time, the month of May. Mr. Worm-
ser approved of the first part of the
resolution, but he and ten otner mem
bers did not take kindly to tne pro
posed Innovation of having the report
laid over for a meeting and It was con
sequently killed, the vote standing as
follows:
Against Wormser, Francois, Davis,
Devaney, Shaeffer, Jacobs, Schrlefer,
Barker, Notz, Gibbons, Mitchell 11.
For Jennings. O'Malley, Carson,
Casey, Welsh. Conrad, Walsh, Will
iams. Langan 9.
The other part of the resolution was
ndopted. Pluns and specifications for
the heating and ventilating of No. 10
building were submitted by Architect
Davis and approved. Mr. Welsh, upon
learning that hot air systems were shut
out, moved to have all out-of-town bid
ders barred. His motion did not pre
vail. BUILDINd FOR THE THIRD.
Mr. O'Malley, from the Third, arose
to Inquire where his promised new
building was at, und the result wus
that the building committee resolved
to take a look at the proposed site and
have a report ready for next meeting.
Among the recommendations of the
building committee adopted were: That
a room be rented from Mr. Scott, of Fig
street, to relieve the crowded condition
of No. 11 school; that Mrs. Shaughnessy
be employed as Janltress of No. 16; that
Architect John A. Duckworth be direct
ed to prepare plans for grading and
erecting a retaining wall around No. 13
school.
The annual report of City Treasurer
R. G. Brooks, a review of which has
been printed In The Tribune, was read
and ordered referred to the finance
committee. The. pay roll totals for
March were: Teachers, $11,984.63: sub
stitutes, $456.85; Janitors, $1,283.50; to
tal, $13,124.98.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Margaret Mather appears at the
Academy of Music this evening as
Juliet in Shakespeare's masterpiece,
"Romeo and Juliet." This role forms
a consplcous part of Margaret Math
er's present season's bill; and well It
may, for In all of our literature there
Is no play so crowded with all the
elements of popularity, not even for
getting the undoubted attraction of
songs and dances, by no means a mod
ern dance for we find then Introduced
Into nearly all of Shakespeare's light
er plays and even some of his tragedies.
Miss Mather's handsome face and per
fect form, make her an Ideal Juliet.
This, as .well as the other plays of
Miss Mather's repertoire, are present
ed with great care as to details of
costuming and scenery, and amongst
her able support may be mentioned,
Frederick Paullnu, W. 8. Hart, H. W.
Weaver, William Davldsre, Edwin
Brewster, Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Turner and
Miss Feely, Miss Harold, Miss Marcelle,
Miss Selgh, and others.
II II II
Robert Downing and his company
will appear at the Academy of Music
on Tuesday next. In "The Gladiator."
Snument's splendid tragedy Is a favor
ite with those familiar with the trage
dian's ability and Is pronounced the
best of Dr. Downlng's entire repertoire
to bring out the strongest qualities of
bis dramatic instincts, his magnificent
physique and his exquisite command of
human emotions. The ten years that
have elapsed since he first attempted
"The Gladiator" have not reduced the
fire and vigor of his Interpretation of
the heroic role, though some changes
have been made In the presentation of
the piece In the decade. The altera
tlons, however, have contributed to the
excellence of the piece.
II II II
"Not In the beaten track," Is evl
dently the motto of the Hanlon broth
ers, who will present to the patrons of
the Academy of Music on Friday and
Saturday evenings and Saturday mat
Inee their well known but favorite pro
duction of "Fantasma," That this Is
their motto Ut to be believed from the
fact that they are leaders In their line
and that all their Ideas are of an origin
al nature. The success of "Fantasma"
Is due. however, not alone to this fact
but also that the Han Ions are careful
In the selection of the people who are
to portray the various) roles entrusted
to them. Among the members of this
year's company may be mentioned
George H. Adams.
II II "
The success of the "Prisoner of
Zenda" has shown plainly; that the theater-going
publlo have 'tired of the
problem plays of Pinero Jones and
Grundy, and have turned with evident
relief to the romantic school of D'En
nery and Dumas. In view of this
change of taste William Morris de
serves the gratitude of all theater-goers
who love a play pure In tone and
ennobling In sentiment for such is the
character of Adolph D'Ennery and
Jules Verne's great drama, "Michael
Btrogoff." The scenery and costumes
will be magnificent and the services
of 100 people will be required In the
production. The music has been com
posed especially for It, and the support
ing cast will be of great strength.
"Michael Strogoff" will be given at the
Frothlngham April 18, and our theater
goers should not fail to witness a per
formance which should prove the event
of the season.
NEW BIFLE BAN6E.
