The Phonograph.

Spence's People's Paper: "Rev. O. S. Bitler, with Edison's phonograph, at tho M. E. church, brought out a fair congregation of our citizens, on last Tuesday evening. After a short review of the life of Edison and tho manner of the discoveries of our most wonderful geuiuc, the phonograph was allowed to gossip until every woman in tho house was mad with envy over its ability as a gossiper. In the reproduction of instrumental music, it was perfect, but was not so eilicient in reproducing the human voioe. It iB a wonderful apparatus and is worth thrible the price of admission to hear, especially by any ono not having heard the phonograph."

This performance will be oiven in the Y. M. C. A. armory for the benefit of the Araociation next Tuesday evening.

"A 8LEEPIN& OAS."

The Methodist Ohurch Organ Fund Handsomely Augmented. With nil its faults still everybody enjoys an amateur performance. "A Sleeping Oar" is one of tho best homo talent entertainments wo have had for some time. It oombined the operatio and dramatic. The famous Athenian Conoert Company and tho Banjo Club furnished tho muBic, while tho best amateur actors und actress t*s of tho city were in tho cast proper which is OH follows: Mrs

J. Woodward

Miss Wilhite's role was tho most difficult but it is useless to say that BIIO took it well. Miss Kennedy was her able second while Will Martin's reputation as a hayseed comedian was greatly enhancod. Frod Wilhite's appearance on the stage was the signal for loud applause. Frod's way of moving around on the "boards" remind" ono of a professional. Frank Davis is new to the publio as an aotor but he showed an ability which was immediately recognized. As the insolent, overbearing oonduotor always ready to make a passenger feel as unoomfortable as possible Milt Burk was a complete and unqualified success. Hardly less of a success was Jim Johnson, our colored friend, as the porter. These two acted naturally and in every move or word you :uld discover Bome characteristic of the real conductor or porter. "Deacon" Woodward in his great pantomine with the mysterious veiled woman showed that he had not forgotten the tricks of his youth. His makeup was a perfect imitation of Bill Nye. You would not have known Zack Ma horney as Riley if he hadn't staid so close to Nve. Stanley Simpson, besides being advance agent, business manager and stage manager, took the part of "Dutch Billy." In the first act the depot is full of people waiting for the train which is an hour and twenty minutes late. To pass away the time they listen to a program of music. The Athenian Conoert company gives some lively ohoruses followed by a beautiful |iiuet by the two popular singers, Miss Nellie Nioholand Ora Moflett. Miss Nicholson appeared later in "Tho Song that Beached My Heart" and reached the hearts of the audience by its toughing strains and her sweet voise. It iB to be regretted that Miss Moflett did not sing a solo. The banjo club appeared three times and eaoli time was applauded loudly. The Maudolin piece by James Bj rd was a Winner. Miss Mnud Cowan appeared at her best in the Scotch ballad, "Maid of Dundee." The popular choid was struck by Miss Minnie Scott in "Annie Booney." Tonight the performance will positively be repeated. Tbe total reoeipts were S103.
