For Excellency in Piano Work in Sa.n Francisco. Miss Eu la I'.oward, who gave a re cital In Steiuway hall, San Francisco, February 25, baa made for herself a prominent place among the musicians of tho Bay city if we may judge from the press notices, all of which speak of her in the highest of terms. 1 We take pleasure iu quoting from a num ber of the San Francisco papers : Bulletin "Miss Eula Howard as tonished and delighted a large audience at Steinway hall Thursday. Miss Howard is a young girl whose home is iu Grants Pass, Ol. A year aud a half ago all her dreams ot what musio might be were evolved from her own couseicosness, for she had received only tho most primitive sort of instruction and had never heard unoyiie play the piano better than she could herself. Now she has bad 10 months of enlightened instruction, has listened (with a pleasure thut'is giveu to few mortals) to musio as iu terprted by artists, and has applied herself so diligently to the work she has chosen for herself, that she is able to rouse a remarkable enthusiasm whenever she plays for anynue. Her playing is called 'original,' her ex pression is beautiful and delicate. Here technic is clnetly noticeable for tho finger-work, which is mnrvelonsly dainty, delicate aud perfect. She was repeatedly encored by her en thusiastic audience. " Two numbers on the program which the nndienco especially enjoyed and which were repeated were the 'Ich liebo riieh,' by Grieg, and 'The Lady of Shalott," by Albert Elkua. 'ilif latter appealed strongly to the uiulicnce, Miss Howard playing it most charmingly. "By her delightful Interpretation of art and her devotion to it, as well as by her sui sliiny personality, little Miss Howard has eudeared herself to a large circle of friends iu Sail Fran cisco. She is a dearly beloved mem ber of thn Mansfeldt Club, named for her instructor, Hugo Mansfeldt, aud tho other members of that organiza tion acted as ushers and attendants at this recital. " Chronicle "Miss Euln Howard, a young girl pianist of unusual promiso, was presented to tho public last even ing in concert by her instructor, Hugo Mansfeldt, at Stoiuway Hall. This attractive littln maid reudured a programme of dilllcult compositions of varied moods not only with care ful and notable technique, but with powers of interpretation seldom found m a musician of tier ago. J ho 0cu itig number, Schumann's 'Davids buendlertaenze, " was one of such entirely distinct movements as showed at once tho young artist's power of expression "One of the most interesting and dainty musical bits on tho pro gramme was Albert I. Elkus' 'Lady of Shalott,' suggested by Tennyson's poem. it was mil or dreamy sugges tion and the sentimental romance in melody so charmed the audience and was so gracefully and lightsomely plnved bv Miss Howard, that compo sition aud pianist were encored." Town Talk "On, Thursday even ing, February 2.", Mr. Hugo Mansfeldt pnsentrd bis young pnpil, Eula Howard, in a piano recital nt Stein way ball. It is loss than two years siuco Miss Howard camo to San rrau- cisco from her homo in Oregon to pursue her musical studies, aud her progress has been truly remarkable. Her technical achievements alone are snlllcieut to arouse enthusiasm, but the greatest cbaim of her playing consists iu a rare and beautiful indi viduality that lends an indescriba ble piiuaucy to her rendition of cer tain com osit Ions, as for instance the ' Puvidsbuendlertaen.o' of Schn niiinn, her playing of which is some what reminiscent of Do I'aehnmnn, the only pianist who has played the composite!! iu Sun i rancisco.

Mrs. Smith was at a store house some 50 feet t'istant from the dwelling where tho child was playing on the floor. Tho little one's dress in some way was ignited from tho firo iu tho room. Attracted by tho child's screams, tho mother rushed to the rescue but the child was terribly burned ubout the limbs and lower part of the body belorn the H'o could be smothered.
