12 CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, FEBRUARY 2, 1003. m THE MAIM OF MMTM CAMCMJiMA SOCIETY , - - - 3-- ' J - man point. Correspondence of The Obervr. . High Point, Jan. 11. The mard hospital and benefit used together Is always an incentive to a community, and when, with another stroke of the pen. we add Daughter of Confederacy !t seems that there could not be any alternative but' the grand word sue ' cess.;- . j,-. The social event of the current "week, which was such a decided tri umph for all the participants and . rare, supreme satisfaction permeated with pure, innocent pleasure to every ; one fortunate enough to (rain a seat. M-as the splendid minstrels given un der the auspices of the U. D. C. by home talent for the benefit of the hos pitaL- Twas given under the dlrec Hon of Messrs. Fred L. Koch on and J. B. Laughlln. of lyceum reputation and managers of experience and unusual ability. As the city school auditori um, which Is seldom "allowed to ia wsed for other entertainments than the. lyceum course, was refused, the home talent secured the little opera house and at the week end, after the expediture f several hundreds, the stage for the home talent who Bans for the sick, the poor, and the old lost cause was made very attractive, fio promptly at 8 o'clock Thursday evening when the curtains -went up every seat was taken and most of them for the next night marked oft. The walls around the audience had been beautifully draped with bunting In red. white and blue. The pillars were wound round with the same col ors white floating and arranged ar tistically from every conceivable place were flags of the dear old stars ana stripes. The angled corner, where sat Miss Leona Woody, the pianist of the evening, who Is a performer of sterling- quality, was very beautifully draped with college flags. AH about the foot of the stage were the same brilliant colors. Just as Miss Woody touched the keys v.as heard "from a distance the subdued voices of the grand clurus in "A Toast," one of Mr. llochons own compositions. The main part of the house was only dim ly lighted, to bring out the beautiful lawn party effect which the slow ris ing of the curtain revealed. As the managers brought their own scenery 'twas all beautifully suited. The stage was lovely. In addition to Its Japan ese hangings, overhead was hung with many Jap lanterns that ' cast that swaying bewildering light of many color on the happy throng of the grand chorus who In the loveliest of stylixh and delicately tinted evening a-owns and large picture hats sat round individual tables chatting with their handsome escorts, enjoying the refreshments served on the 'beautiful ly abandoned tables by the "Walter Quartette' and Joining In the ''Grand Toast." On an elevated seat at the rear of the stage sat Mr. Carl Raper, - the. Interlocutor, and at either end In front were Al Fields rivals. Mr. Rob ert W. Morrow and Dr. Frank Per kins, who, dressed as regular end mn. made even cranky critics cast nsldn their customary dignity and laugh Indulgently. The flrat solo was by Mies Hazel Irene Harmon and as her full rich young voice gave "Some Day When Dreams Come True," the "dreamer" settled back In his chair, remembering that "a (1 things come to him who waits" whllu others reamed tnla life was worth whjle.' "The Walters' Novelty Kong" was given by the four waiters: .Messrs. George Van Kvery, James Melllchnmpe, James Plbbrell and Hall Tate, who wore the waiter's rrgulatlon suits, carried the waiter "high" and with their white teeth and eyes rolling caused great laughter and the audience cried out for more. Between each song Messrs. Morrow and Perkins clean rich Jokes kept th-i audience in 'a roar of laugh ter. The next solo was by Mrs. ' Clauds C. Barliee and her duep, rich voice had n:ver had broader breadth or Kympalhy than when with "Heart of My Heart" she sang right Into the hearts of the audience-who showed a great appreciation. The grand chorus joined In the chorus of all these solos. One of the special vocal hits of the flrrt part was the duet. "See-Paw," by Messru. George Van Kvery and Roy Atwood, who were dressed as a dusky country school girl and boy. who by their make-believe "snyneHH'' toward each other brought flown the house, who like happy school children them selves clamored for more and the en core they g&ve" was delicious. One of the finest numbers of the evening was given by MJ-w Clara Ix'ke Boyd In "rjood-bje Sweetheart. Good-hye." M Iss Boyd has1 a sweet voice of great flexibility and power and In this num ber she used It with great effect. Miss Woody never sann better than when In the sweetest and most pleanlng of voices she rendered "I'm Waiting In Iovelnnd For You." Mr. am Bsrbee, who Is one of High point's favorite ringers, gave "Dreaming" and as the rich, warm tones of melodic breath made one forget almost everything nd give fancy to a qilckened sense of Joy. This was followed by ono of the greatest hits of the evening. The tilack-face monologue and buck, dance ty Marshall Freeman, who kept the hotise In roars of laughter. At this part of the entertainment Mr. Hochon snnounce that Mr. Lauiclilln would now perform his wonderful Illusion In escaping from a casket After It had been securely nailed and screwed 1own by disinterested parties on the etage Mr. ftoehon held the audience spellbound as to how Mr. Laughlin would escape. After he had been nailed and screwed In. With his hands tied behind he was put In the box and In fourteen minutes ho es caped, i TmiSTOX-SALEM 1 ; Correspondence of The Observer: .

In reporting, the Traveler's Club meeting of Jan. 16th, for a town paper, made special men tion .of the Irish bogwood" pig. and thfl intelligent compositor changed It into dogwood whereat this writer was much amused. There was an other laugh when The Observer cor respondent told of the dog wood pig alao. Since our streets and avenues have b?en named and plainly marked, and the houses numbered, one of Hick ory's reproaches has been taken away. It Is now an easy matter to direct strangers over the town.- 'Tis true there is still some criticism of the system used, and perhaps "Tenth avenue and Eight street" are not as enphonlous as "College and Spring streets," but they are much easier found. Then the average village dweller cannot quite see the beauty in numbering the housea In city style, a number for every twenty -five feet, for "Hickory will never be built that clone " but who knows? When the writer moved to Hickory In the early seventies, every body that could possi bly do so was touymg a lot fronting the railroad . The. one train west, and the one train east a combination mail, passenger and freight,, was an object or unfailing daily interest, and you could not have made any one be lieve that the time would come when tho desirable residence lots would bo several .blocks from the railroad, and th passing and Bhlftlng trains would come to be an almost unbearable, nuisance, but the railroad was here first. So who can . foretell what strides Hickory may maksln the next thirty years. In tho building line. Any way It Is wise to start right in the houso numbering business.
