SPLENDID WORK.
"Daniel, oi' the Cnpttvlty nnd Res

Splendid Manner The Misses

the Death of Their Mother.
Whereabouts of Rev. D. C. Phil
lips Is Known Minor Notes and
Personals,
T!ir can tu ta of "D.mlel, or the Cap
tivity anil Itcstnrntlon" was repeated
at Menrs' ball last evening to a fill"
audience by the Taboinnrle ITnltoJ
choir. Tlio choruses. "Ity the Ulvcr o
Unbylon," "In Oml Is our Trust," "Je
hovah Vtclgneth, " "Sound, sound the
Loud Trumpet,'1 and "Tho Lord Kolgn
i th" were good ami were sung with
good tempo mid tune.
"Thou, oh Lord, will Have. Mercy
Upon ls" "Ouee More thq Spot." and
especially "Freedom Again Is nrlng
Ing" were very line and Ihc conductor,
Professor 11. A. Jones, is to be con
gi ululated upon the renditions. The
mi!o, iitutrttttc and chorus, "Oh Sins
tintn thi' Lord," was given with t,"'o 1
effod. The tlio. "Our Ciod, O King
Hath T?!i(ie ( s Cio" was excellent. In
this pine? Ilicre was the finest blending
of voices of I he evening.
Mrs. Howell (!. TCceso seems to ap
preciate being In tune with her com
panion singers, and this fact Is some
times overlooked by prominent so
pranos. Thomas Abrahams as
".vi'iiriiih" did good work In Hie due
"O My Hrotlior." it was well dellvr
cied. David AV. Davis as "Daniel"
sustained bis part in a. wortby man
n 'r. Tn tbc solo and chorus. "Hlesscd
lie the Name of the Lord," 'be sang
with Rood enunciation and with the
chorus left a fine Impression.
In ills solo, "Hear the Voice of My
Cry. O My C.od" ami In the duet wltii
the King and In his other solo work be
showed a Rood conception of tlio na
ture of the sentiment. David Stevens
as "Herald" and "Second President"
and Thomas Jones as "First Presi
dent" gave evidence of thoughtful
study of the part performed.
The King, represented by .Tobn "W.
Jones, was well done. Ills dress and
demeanor of the majesty of a king was
well portrayed. Mrs. Lizzie Hughes
Krundnge sang the part of the Queen
with force and power. In the duet
with the king she sang with good ex
pression. In the obllgnto "How Lovely
In Blnn'1 her magnificent voice showort
lis richness of compass and power, as
nlso In her solo, "Judith's Children,"
whore the accent nnd crescendo was
done In nn itrtlsllu minuter.
When one hears this lady sing the
expectation Is iirouseit to hear some
thing In solo work more than the or
dinary. The orchestra played In good form
nnd together, and were well assisted
by the accompanists, Mrs, D, U. Thom
as and T. .1. Williams. Their perform
ing was worthy of criticism, and nil
the members deserved to be noticed,
because the West Hide Is proud of such
a comblnnllon as thu Tabernacle
United choir.

It will be of considerable Interest,
To many of the parents these marks
are very slgnilleaut, but to those un
familiar with the marks awarded
pupils who attend the examinations
for entrance to the high school, una
or two explanations may be necessary
to the understanding of the report,
A series of six examinations occur
during the term and an average of
70 per rent, Is required In all branches.
Five of these examinations havo been
held nnd the report of every member
of tho class, together with their rank.
