Company Will Present
Program For Colored "Y"

branch for colored men and boys.
The concert will be given in Fah
nestock Hall, Y. M. C. A. Building.
J. W. (Blind) Boone, will be ac
companied by Miss Marguerite Day,
soloist. He lost his sight from
brain fever when he was six months
old. His first instrument was a tin
whistle, on which he could play any
ordinary air after once hearing it.
Next he was presented with a mouth
organ hy which he charmed the
whole neighborhood—children com
ing ffom afar and near to hear him.
Once hearing a pupil in the insti
tute practicing on the piano, he left
his work and stole to the piano, as
it was impossible to keep his fingers
off the keyboard. He was soon able
to finger out several pieces, and it
was impossible to keep his mind on
anything else. He afterwards re
ceived a liberal musical education.
His slogan is "Merit, Not Sympathy,
Wins."
Mr. Boone's concerts are of the
first order, and a musical treat is
in store for all who avail themselves
of this opportunity of hearing him
