In speaking of her singing the Musical cour ier of New York, said: "This promising young contralto has Just been chosen the solo contralto of the Brick Church, Fifth avenue and Thirty-seventh street. Gifted with an attractive face, a charming stage presence, an artistic temperament and a voice of' remarkable range, volume and that extremely rare 'cello-like quality which is essentially a distinguishing at tribute of the pure contralto. Mrs. Evans Is destined to take a leading position among American singers. The Boston Post said: Quite informally and with out ostentation, a New York contralto, Mrs. Minnie Hance Evans, made her de but at a musical given in her honor by Mr. and Mrs. J. Hallet Gilberte In the Charlesgate. The Invited guests who were privileged to attend are anxious for a wider Boston hearing of her; tor, ai though suffering from a cold on that day. It was evident that she had an uncom mon voice, and what is more, knows how tn use it. She is a charming woman, too. with dark hair and eyes, clear complexion and an expression which reminds you of Calve. She wins half the battle of favor with her auditors before she opens her mouth to sing." Among Mr. Luochesi's patrons for the concert are: Mrs. v. a. L.aaa Mrs. Louis H. Tarpley, Mrs. W. B.

Miss Fleischner, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Flelschner. was the vocal soloist on that occasion, and the musicians who were present were much impressed with her liquid, smooth tones, the rich coloring of her voice, and the ease with which the tones were delivered. She also sang easily, without effort, and displayed charming sentiment. This Is all the more creditable to Miss Flelschner when it is explained that on the occasion named it was her first appearance as a slnirer in .public, and that she has only been studying six months with her teacher, Mrs. Imogen Harding Brodie. Miss Flelsch ner's songs were: "Greeting" (Hawley); "Husheen"' (Xeedham). "Douglas Gordon iKellie) and Nightingale's Song" (Nevin). A new contralto has come o town.

Miss Ditchburn. who is a mexzo-soprano. has appeared with success as a concert and oratorio singer at different New York events during the season just drawing .to a close.

The Ukrne Quartet gave a splendid Interpretation of Father Dominic's "The West Wind." a dramatic composition dedicated to the quartet. The com.poner was present and exprfewed himwelf as being very much pleased with the rendition. These three new songs have been received for review: "Our Good Old Pioneers," "I Am Thinking Today of My Friends Far Away" and "Dearest One." words by Rob Roy Parrish and the music composed and .ar ranged by Professor Z. M. Parvln. Mus. Doc. The songs are within the scope of moat voices, and as they are all provided with choruses they are specially adapted to the home circle and friendly gatherings. The music in original and true, and admirably suits the words wedded to it. Possibly the most meritorious composition In the collec tion Is "Our Good Old Pioneers," which Is patriotic yet filled with tender sentiment. This song Is sure to become popular and with the others to find many admirers. Carl Denton, organist of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, assisted by John Claire mm , l -S is Vv Monti eth, baritone, and Mr. E. W. Lanrdon, soprano, gave tha initial concert on the new pipe organ Just computed in the United Presbyterian Church, Albany, Or., last Wednesday evening. In speaking of the concert, tha Albany Morning Herald said: "Carl Denton, organist and choir director of Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church in Port land, lived up to his reputation as a master. His rendition of the world's famous compo sitions stamped him as an artist and he wa repeatedly encored. Mrs. Langdon, Albany's favorite vocalist, also waa rewarded with en cores, while. Mr. Montleth was repeatedly called back by the enthusiastic audience.' Miss Grace WUton will present her stu dents. Misses Elsie and Louise QuUliam, in a piano recitar Friday evening at the studio, TS4 East Main stret, and they will be as sisted by Miss Dorothy Hincks, mezao-so-prano. The programme: Trio. (Meyer): "Spanish Serenade" (Gradier); "Prelude, Op. 28. No. 7" and "Valse, Op. 4, No. 1" (Chopin; "Albumblatt" (Grieg) ; "Ie Se cret"' (Oautler): "Melody in F" (Rubin stein) : song, "Love's Sorrow" Shelley ; "Minuet" (Paderewski): "Spring Song" (Mendelssohn): "Duetsche Marchenbilder" (Bendel); "Die Silbernlxe" (Helns); aonaa. (a) "Shoogy-Shoo" (Mayhew). (b) "My Bairaie" (Vannah); duet (selected). Elsie and Louise QuUliam are junior students who have studied less than a year. Professor Frank T. Chapman, of Pacific University, recently gave a delightful Bee thoven evening in Marsh Hall, before the students of the conservatory and invited guests. The evening was devoted to an appreciative study of the great composer, whom the critic Talne said was tne only musician, as Shakespeare was the only Anglo-Saxon who ever lived. "At 11 years of age said the lecturer, "Beethoven played the difficult 'Well-Tempered Clavlcord' of Bach, was proficient in improvising at 12 and became embllst' for an orchestra at 14 years. Beethoven made hts name first as a pianist in the then courtly City of Vienna, where many of the nobility were his pupils. Tt was not until after deafness seized him that he composed his best music, and those melancholy spells which became more and more violent were productive of his greatest compositions. Beethoven's music is not pop ular music, but It appeals to the deeper na ture of men, while his 'Ninth Symphony' may well be said to be the greatest musical work ever written." - Anne Beatrice Sheldon, soprano, and Ar thur Alexander, tenor, took part in a re cital given last Wednesday by Boyd Wells, the pianist, at Seattle, and in speaking of the work of these two Portland people, Vin cent Harper, in the Seattle Post-Intelllgen-cer, says: "In Mr. Alexander the host - of the occasion had a royal supporter, for th young tenor and composer, of whose brilliant future everybody seems certain except him self, scored at once. With splendid spirit and fine discrimination Mr. Alexander sang a number of songs, the "Soft-Footed Snow" (Sigurd Lie), with its ravlshingly lovely, scarcely audible cadence, being perhaps the one most enjoyed. But, as was fitting, the honors of the day went to Madame Anne Beatrice Sheldon, of Portland. Possessed of a singularly sympathetic soprano voice and a charming personality, Madame Sheldon wins one with her first notes. And when one has heard how she can sing a song of Brahms or Schumann or D'Hardelot. the de mand for more is sure to be as insistent a It was yesterday as insistent as she x ii gracious in giving !t. With perfect phrasing and unusually Intellectual interpretation, she sings an old classic ballad In a way that calls back to life its Immortality In the touch of freshness that she gives it. None that heard It will ever forget her singing of I Think' (D'Hardelot)." One of the notable musical events of the week was the recital given by the piano and voice students of Miss Kathryn Llnehan at bef home. 481 Third street. The parlon were profusely decorated with pink roses and branches of sweet briar, and the dining-room with ferns and white roses. Misses Lin a and A TALENTED VIOLINISTS RE TURNS HOME. Mies .Mariarrt aliening. It Is always a pleasure to wel come home Portland students In music or art, and one of the latest arrivals from California is Mlas Margaret Fallenlus, Vipliniste, from Palo Alto, Cal. She is the daughter of a well-known Portland musician, Mrs. Edith Fallenius, formerly organist of the First Uni tarian Church, and now organist of the First Church of Christ (Sci entist). Miss Fallenius for two years has attended the school con ducted hy Miss Harker and Miss Hughes, at Palo Alto, and has ap peared with gratifying success at reoitals at San Jose and neighbor ing towns. As a young violiniste. Miss Fallenius Is stated by those who have had the pleasure of hearing her play frequently, to be a remarkably talented girl, a hard working student and one to whom violin playing comes as a natural gift. Her tone and technique are unusually good. In the near fu ture, Miss Fallenius will be heard In recital In the lecture-room of the First Unitarian Church, to which there will be no admission charge. Invitation cards will soon be issueft. Miss Fallenius will likely leave for the $ast next sea son to further her musical educa tion. " Stella LJnehsn and Miss Llnley Morton pre sided ,at the punch table. Every number was well given and showed the result of close application to study, and each member of the class was presented with & copy of one of Miss Ilnehsn's compositions as a souvenir. About oO guests enjoyed the programme, which was as follows: Duet, (s) "Nanon.v (b) "My Mamma's Waltz" 4Stresbog. Ruby McKay and Mable Robin son: "Journey to Elfland" (Krogmann). Gene Spencer: "On the Shore" (Netdllnger), Miss Bessie Brledwell; "Dorothy," Old Eng lish Dsnce (Seymour-Smith), Maple Robin son: "Rustic Dance" (Howell), Ruby Mc Kay r "Hush Little One" (Bevlgnanl), Miss Myrtle Boston; "Bsrcbetta" (Nevin), Vera Hall; "8econd Valse" (Ooddard), Miss Pen ney; (a) "Drink to Me Only With Thine EyeV (Old English), (bi "Song of a Heart" (Tunleon), Jesse M.

Arne), Miss Leona Sansum; "Sonata Pathetlque" (Beethoven). Edna Russell. Final negotiations for the Rosenthal tour have been completed, making it certain that American music lovers next season will have the pleasure once again of hearing the great Roumanian pianist. His reappearance In this country will be made In Carnegie Hall, New York, early in November, after which he will go on tha most sxtenslva tour he ever made here, visiting all the principal cities from coast to coast. The return of this giant of the keyboard, tbe biggest man in plsno music since Rubensteln, will be an event of uncommon interest. Rosenthal's next coming will be far more magnificent than his last visit, for his slways splendid art has undergone remarkable development IB , 'v' 1 R rtetnt ye&rs. Lonar considered the ns. ter technician! of his fvorite Instrument, his Interpretative powers, warmed by his lraax Inatlve and poetic temperament, have In creased with each passing year, until now. In European cities, he Is held to be the "artist without a peer." Rosenthal Is probsblv She only musician since LUst and Rubensteln who Is equally entitled to be called l "poet of the piano" and a "demon of tech nlque. His visit will be very timely, for the music-loving publlo of the United States was never mors ready for the thrill which such a pianist . as he can give there has been a void In America's Ufa which only a "btvr man like Rosenthal -can fill. Talented pianists in plenty have toured this country of recent years, some of great talent, but instead of satisfying theybave only created longing; and - unrest that can be. overcome only by a display of genius. RoWentnai is eager for the tour. He Is sincerely fond of America and Americans. The hospitality be finds here and the appreciation of artistic worth everywhere in evidence, appeals to his cordial nature. Americans were among the first to recognise hts early talent and he is anxious that they should have the benefit of nis maturity. PROVISIONS RUN , SHORT AT HONOLULU Pacific Island City Supplies Cut Off by Earthquake at San Francisco. " ONOL.ULU, April SO. (Special ' Corre I I spondence.) Traffic to Honolulu from the mainland has been suspended as a re suit of the recent earthquake in San Fran ciaco, and the first mail to be received from the continent since the great calam lty will be due here next Saturday, May 5. Only meager details of the earthquake have yet been received here, and thous ands of people here who have relatives and friends In San Francisco are still anxious ly awaiting to hear from them. All the steamships leaving this port) for San Francisco have been detained there, and some kinds of provisions are growing short as a result. Butter and potatoes can scarcely be obtained. Leading citizens of Hawaii have been busy soliciting funds for the relief of suf ferers in San Francisco, and already It is assured that the fund will reach a total of about J30.O0O. People arriving here on the Oriental lin ers tate that the boycott In China Is practically at an end now. American goods are In demand and are being sold as read lly as before the opposition to them was aroused. The promoters of the boycott have ended their efforts, and It la believed that it will only be a short time before an Increase in the demand for American goods wll be realized. Considerable disappointment is felt here as a result of information received from San Francisco to the effect that the boats entering from that place for the trans pacific yacht race, which was scheduled to leave San Francisco for Honolulu May 19, had -withdrawn, and that an effort is being made to have the race postponed one year. Hawaii's yacht, La Paloma. is still on her way to San Francisco, and her owner, Clarence Mao'arlane, who com mands ner, is yet in ignorance or tne ca lamity In California, and will know noth ing of the change In plans concerning the race until he reaches his destination. He has spent much time and money In pre paring for the race. Seven men are awaiting legal execution here. It being the greatest number of peo ple ever retained at one time ra the tern tory to await hanging. Of these, five are Coreans who killed one of their country men in an effort to make him confess a theft. Various efforts have been made to train their pardon, and as a result, the act ing Governor has ordered a stay of execu tion for a short time, but it Is not be lieved that a pardon will be granted. OAKS OPENS MAY 30. Three' Hundred Men Are at Work Erecting Sew Amusement Devices Over 300 men are at work " on the grounds of "The Oaks," where many new and original amusement devices are being erected.

Some of the new features to be Introduced are not to be seen this side of Coney Island.

It Is aimed to present sensational outdoor attractions but they will be entirely high-class and free from all objectionable features. From every standpoint, the new Trail at "The Oaks" will excel the Trail at the Lewis and Clark Fair, and they will all prove of absorbing Interest. The Immense modern skating rink is well under roof, and the great Figure Eight Roller Coaster is al most completed. The "Old Mill" Is on the way from the Bast, and will be installed in time for the opening. There Is to be a novelty In the way of a Carousel, the cost of which is said to be J20.000.
