Miss Nellie Vngell, theaccomplish- daughter of D. B. Angell, next avored the phomnes with a choice iano solo, which was vociferously ucored.

Hugh Diehl, from the police station, est afflicted the crowd with a mdy ofo. The solo probably every ood, but fow stopped to hear more lan two notes. Hugh blew very hard nd his breath came rolling in over ie wire so stioug that it dislocated number of noses and bulged out the des of each room like an inflating alloon.
