SECOND ANNUAL
CONCERT A SUCCESS
CONDUCTOR PENNELL AND HIS,
CHORUS GIVI A SPLENDID
PERFORMANCE.
The second aaruai concert given 1
by '.he Lyceum ergaaisation under
the urecciom of Mr. Fennel; at Red
Me s hall last n.ght. was well at
tended. the inclei ‘.eat weather fail
*ng to deter mus c lovers from the
enjoyable evening to be spent with
these who proved artists in their
respective lines.
First of all there is a high de
gree of credit d,^ to Mr. Pennell.
..ho despite the <. scouragenent and
iiitsculty In securing talent, wen:
iheui with rehearsals and imbued
sis company with the necessary en
thusiasm. The result stands as
an artistic treat and an evens which
Ketchikan may we,, afford
itself to accord unstinted praise.
The Chorus, . . gh lacking the
seeded balance of tenor and bass
voices, did exceedingly well and ef
fectively opened the program with
the "Sands of, Pee-“
The ceil© nambers by Mr. Penn
ell. •■■'ere classic selections, the in
terpretation and execution of which
further prove his :r.e musicianship
and mastery of his instrument
These cumbers were very much en
joyed.
Mrs. R. R Tinkhaw.. who made
net debut before the Ketchikan pub
lic last night gave A Literary Iru
premprj" which was well suited to
display her versatile and dramatic
ability. They were effwtive and
much applauded, and resulted m an
encore devoted to local hits in the
i'idiish dialect. causing much,
-semen: to the audience.
The numbers by Mrs. Harry El
liott were especially enjoyed, her
rich raarzo soprano has an inti
mate appeal in its sweetness and
power which makes her a very
■leasing singer- Applause forced
ter respond with an encore.
The duets by Mrs. Collins and
Mr. Pennell were the gems of the
evening. Mrs. Co. '.ins’ voice is a
sweet Lyric sopranj of splendid pow
er which has not the slightest in
dication o f being forced, is £ex
ible with warm t: nal qualities, and
blended very charmingly with Mr
Pennell's voice, which has a char
a-tteristie litr.br* rf its own. Hi?
diction and ecounclation are always
z-:- 1 and sings vita taste and fa
tuity of . secation.
s taring the hen rs of the even
r.r Mrs. Warier s tr.g Tery cfcarnt
.r.f’.r Gounods' beautiful "Sane:as."
- *
Her voice has very pleasing quali
ties and this wur.ber was an es
pecially delightful one.
Mrs A. A. Br.r.dle, Ketchikan’s
mt-st accomplished pianist, left noth
ing to be desired ir. her support of
the Cfcoros numbers. It is greatly
re gritted that she was not heard in
a sale number.
M:;s Martha Foosness. who ac
companied the duets and solos, dis
ti yed a musicianship that is Suer:
and admirably expressive.
Before the c!os ng number Mr.
Weigie, chairman of the Lyceum,
thanked the audience for its en
:? lragensent, Mr. Pennell and ail
those who took part in the program
for their contribution to its suc
tas*. and presented a handsome
:,r»8a front the sr.etr.bers of the
company to their conductor, Mr
Per sell, to which he very aptly
responded his thanks. Thus came
to a close the fourth of the Ly
ceum entertain men's.

WORLDS SMALLEST CITY.
CORAM. Cal-. March 31—Every
citizen in -his. the smallest incor
porated city it the State, if not in
the world, will be an officeholder
after the coming April elections,
as there are no more than enough
men to fill the offices. Hence, un
less some of the women can be in
duced to relieve the retiring males,
each will have to assume the duties
of some office.
Coram now has a population of
twenty-one. of whom nine are men.
One of jhese, W. C. Baker, at pres
ent is city trustee and justice of
the peace. As there are eight oth
er positions to be filled each of
the eight men will have to run
for office
At the coming election there will
be no men on the election board,
as the law prohibits candidates from
acting in that capacity. No nom
inating petitions have been filed be
cause of the peculiar situation,
while the citizens will be compelled
I by civic interest to break the rule
of idea! politics by putting up a
slate. L'niess such a step is taken
some office may not be filled. The
. election will be conducted on the
plan of having the voter write in
the name.
When Coram was incorporated,
six years ago, the city had a popu
lation of about 1.500. With the
closing of the great Balaklala
smelter the population dwindled to
one more than a score of inhabit
ants. However, the loyal citizens
who are staving with the town are
confident that the place will boom
again as soon as the smelter re
i surr.es activity.
In the meantime the town will

A TREE THAT GETS ANGRY.
Did you know that a tree can
get angry ?
There is a kind of acacia in Ne
vada that not only is “touchy,”
but, as a naturalist puts it. “goes
very mad.”
It is about eight feet high, and
is a very rapid grower. When the
sun sets it is ready to go to sloen.
and shuts its leaves together, and
coils up the ends of its twigs just
like a pig-tail.
If anyone pulls that tail—well,
the tree doesn't squeal, but it flut
ters and moves unseasily, and seem
to be deeply agitated.
If it is ever disturbed by a shock,
such as transplanting, the leaves
stand out in all directions and quiv
er violently. Strangest of all, they
'send out a pungent, nauseating odor
that is most unpleasant.
It takes this bad-tempered tree
an hour or two to get back into
good humor.

The rate of deaths while under
anaesthetics is said to be only about
one in five thousand.

SELLING SOLID MILK.
The market of Irkutsk, in Si
beria, are said to be an interesting
sight, for the products offered for
m!e are in most cases frozen solid.
Fish are piled up in stacks like so
much cordwood, and meat likewise.
All kinds of fowl are similarly
frozen and piled up. Some animals
brought- into the market whole are
! propped up their legs, and have
the appearance of being actually
alive, and as one goes through the
markets one seems to be surround
ed by living pigs, sheep, oxen and
fowl? standing up. But, stranger
yet, even the liquids are frozen and
sold in blocks. Milk is frozen into
a block in this way and with a
string or a stick frozen into and
. projecting from it. This, it is said
is for the convenience of the pur
chaser.

A MATTER OF HISTORY.
As you near El Paso. Texas, you
■ntch a glimpse* at Usieta, of tho
,-enorable church, now hopelessly
‘restored,” that was built away
.tack in 1882 after the Pueblo up
rising. Does this sound like a re
mote date in American history?
due is constantly surprised down
there by the antiquity of the set
liements.
El Paso is certainly no exception
to the rule, for it was given its
name in 1588 by Juan do Onate.
one of the earliest explorers of
Now Mexico, who, having forded
the Rio Grande at this point, call
ed it El Paso del Norte—the Pass
to the North. Fifty years later
the old church and mission at
Juarez were built. From that time
until the Mexican War period tho
site of E[ Paso itself remained a
ranch belonging to the Ponce de
I.con fondly. After the American
occupation it became a tormina1,
point on the old Overland Trail
from St. Louis to San Francisco
and the rumbling stagecoaches
brought life and glitter to the sa
loons and gambling joints of tin
Calle El Paso.
The last half century has again
vastly changed all this, ami the
border town lias been competcly
submerged in the steady march of
modern improvement.
Pioneer Plaza remains the cen
! tor of the city’s activities, to be
sure, but upon it, instead of hum
, I'lo abode homes, and tawdry shops,
front two great hotels, several
large department stores which dis
play the very latest fashions, and
the “largest all concrete building
in the world.”
