Events This Evening.
, J
It Is seldom that such an array of
talent Is gathered together as was tho
case at Plymouth church last evening,
when, without a doubt, tho best con-,
cert over given by local talent was at
tended by an uudtencc that comforta
bly filled tho large auditorium.
Tho opening number a quartette
selection, by Mrs. James Heckel, Miss
Via Jones, Philip Warren and Thomas
, Abrams was a forerunner of what was
In store for tho patrons. The selection
was Protheroe and Bcamlsh's "Tell Me
Thou Pretty Bee," and It was given
with an harmonious blending of voices,
and corect accompaniment by Mrs. D.'
B. Thomas.
Sir. Warren sang "The Heavenly
Song," In line voice, the selection being
admirably suited to his artistic work.
The William Connell Glee club were
not present to fulfill their part of tho
programme.
Miss Cora Morris 'Grlflln, the talented
and versatile elocutionist, made a. de
cided impression on her audience. Her
first selection "The First Quarrel," en
abled her to display much emotional
strength, and to reveal some facial ex
pressions which are essential to suc
cessful Interpretations of so difficult a
selection. For an encore she gave a
delightful bit of comedy.
Mrs. Frank Brundage was announced
ns being 111, and what was really the
surprising feature of the concert, oc
curred at this time, when Miss Sadie
Edwards, who has been studying in
New York, appeared and sang. She
displayed such wonderful Improvement
in her work that one would scarcely
recognize In her the girl who but a few
months ago was comparatively un
known In the musical world.
She chose the song, "A Queen Has
Spok.en," as her Initial number, and the
manner in which she rendered It was a
revelation to the audience. Such con
trol of voice, articulation, breathing
Diifotip's French Tar
Will promptly relieve and speedily cure
coughs, colds and all lung trouble. For
sale by a. W. JENKINS, 101 South Main
avenue.
An Important
Item of News.
Comes from Our Cloak Department
And with the advent of the New Year comes
stock tak.ng. We believe in taking an inventory in
a business-like way, and would never dream of in
ventorying a fashionable stock of Ladies' Jackets,
Coats, Newmarkets, etc.. at anything like cost, for
tv
we know very well that if we have to carry any of
them over for another year, they won't be worth cost
to ns or anything like it. This fact explains the
Deep Price Cutting Which
Goes Into Effect This Morning
And will continue for ten days only. Three-fourths
of winter is yet to come, and
With the Smartest 27In. Jackets
And the Newest 421 n. Coats
At such reductions as we quote below, the temptation
to buy would seem to us tobe irresistible.

Remember, there is not one last season's garmsnt
in all the hundreds of handsome garraeuts, and the
wealth of aelectiou is unlimited. These quotations
refer to half and three-quarter length coats, but
M Raglans and Newmarket Coats
Have got a similar price cut on them, while Chil

a big money saving opportunity here for those who
care to take advautage of it,
Globe Warebotis
nnd enunciation ns Miss Edwards dis
played Is marvelous, when It Is taken
Into consideration that she has but Just
begun her musical career. She certainly
has a bright future before her, and this
Is a gratifying thought to her friends.
As an encore she Bang "Dear Heart"
superbly.
Thomas Abrams, whoso services are
constantly In demand, and whose sing
ing Is so much enjoyed, favored tho as
semblage with a tenor solo nbout
"Llewellyn's Grave," and gave an In
spiring rendition of a dlfllcult number.
"If She Were Mine" wus his response
to a hearty' encore.
Mrs. Heckel then sang two numbers,
"Only to Dream," and n lullaby. It Is
so seldom she Is heard In West Scrnn
ton, that when she comes her friends
are loathe to have her leave the stage.
Mrs. Thomas and her prize-winning
party of female voices favored with a
rendition of the competitive selection,
"Annie Laurie," which lias already won
for them widespread attention. The se
lection wns rendered beautifully, and
won for them a soontaneous encore,
which they responded to cheerfully,
singing tho selection over again.
Mr. Warren followed with "The Noble
Boy of Truth," nnd Miss Grlflln gave
two humorous recitations, which were
well received. Mr. Abrams also sung
"Mona," which Is always enjoyed.
Miss Via Jones sang "The Promise of
Life," and gave a pleasing Interpreta
tion. Her singing was favorably com
mented on, nnd It Is to be hoped she
will be heard more freauontly in con
cert work. She was accorded a flatter
ing encore, and sang sweetly "The Sun
Is on tho H1IU"
Mrs. Heckel and Miss Jones sang a
duct, "Hawthorne Hedge," which was
well received, and Miss Edwards sang
a love song, "Her Heart Did Speak," In
n delightful manner.
Tho closing number was a. yachting
glee by the church choir, under the di
rection of Prof. Daniel Owens, und it
was a fitting ending to the best concert
that has ever been given under the aus
pices of the choir.

GODDESS OF SMALLPOX.
In Her Honor Thugs Kill 30,000
Fcrsono a Year in India.
I'rom the lloston Post.
Tho divinity worshipped by the Thugs
of India Is appropriately enough tho
goddess ot smallpox. Thagl (or Thug
gee), the only religion that preaches
murder, is not yet extinct. It appears,
In fact, ot late years to ha.vo been nc
tunlly on the Increase. In the Punjab
thero were two cases of murders by
! Thugs as late as 1S9C, while In Central
India tho Increase In tho last three or
or four years Is Htartllng.
' About seventy years have passed
j Blnco two young English officials agreed
that tho day of retribution wns come
for tho followers of the goddess Kail,
(There wore ut that time ut least 10,000
Thugs wandering unmolested over tho
surface of India, who earned a liveli
hood by murdering their fellow-men.
They Jived in this way partly because
it wns their religion nnd partly because
they preferred murdering to either
working or begging,
As each Thug Hilled, on an average,
three men a year, some 30,000 people,
mostly under British rule or protection,
vanished Into tho earth every year,
Such figures seem Incredible, and yet
ofllelnlB of the tlmo say that they are
probably under the mark.
The Thug would, set out on his busi
ness with the r.ulet earnestness of one
who b merely doing his duty mid
would brutally murder twenty or thirty
victims not only with an easy con
science, but with the calm self-approval
ot a successful practitioner, ftor
wa3 ho at nil grasping In Ills dealings.
The celebrated Thus Shumsherah de
posed that "S imnuH (a shilling) Is a
very good remuneration for murdering
a man. We often strangle a victim
who Is suspected of having 2 pIco (three
farthings)." Their motto was evi
dently Binall nroilts and culck returns. .
