THE PATRIOTIC CONCERT.
ee
ALL over the British Empire patrio: ic Concerts have been held since the out break cf the present war. And now Charlottetown bas had ber turn—and she did sobly. She has reason to be proud of the patriotiem which swelled up to over- flowing in the hearts of her cit:zens gath- ered together last night. Every ceat was filled with @ perhaps more enthuis lastic audience than was ever before in the Opera Bouse. And stil] enthusiastic i8 hardly the word to describe the feelings of those present. They were wild, and when Captain Bartlett announced the pews of the rout of Genera! Botha and the complete surrounding of Cronje, cheer upon cheer, shout upoa shout, rent the airand Rule Britannia was sung, as it never was before sung in Charlotietown. Three times during the evening the audi- ence rose for ‘God Save the Queen,” and, the choruses in “Soldiers of the Queen,” “The Absent Minded Beggar,” and “Three Cheers for the Red White and Blue” were joined in heartily.
The programme was commenced with two grand opening churusee, principally com posed of the choir of the First Metho- dist Church under the direction of Cap- tain Watte, with solos by Mrs. Watts, Mr. J. R. Davison and Mr. Lamost. These were eplendidly rendered, as was also ‘** Soldiers of the Queen,” in which Rev Leo Williams took the solo part.
Most of the individual selections had been heard in Charlottetown before, but the performers seemed to be filled with the same spiritas the audience, and they ex celled themselves. This was true of Miss Enid McLean’s recitation, ** Ordered io the Front,” Mr. Charles Earle’s solo “The Englishman,” Mr. Leslie Cook’s solo, “Th2 Absent Minded Beg- gar,” Mr. Edward Mitchell’s solo, ‘The Union Jack of Old England,” and the mandolin selection by the St. Cecelia Club. Miss Helen Warburton’s dance, a pleasing variation, was very pretty. Mesers A. E. Massie and R A. March,
ommercial ambassadors already favorites with Charlottetown audiences, added much
to the vocal part of the programme. Both sang solos in excellent voice, and their duet put on in place ofthe Earle quin- tette was encored most heartily. Great
regret was expressed at the abeence, through illness, of Miss Earle.
Many of our regular soldiers of the Queen might take pointers from the six- teen young ladies, who, with remarkable precision and soldierly bearing, went through @ very pretty costume drill and cavalry sword<exercise ; and then with che young ladies grouped rouod the Union Jack, Capt. F. W. L. Moore who had gotten upthe driJl, recited “The Flag,” the audience showing their appreciation by round after round of applause.
Tableaux are always a plessing feature of any entertainment. Last night the subjects were especially good. ‘The first tablean showed the battle-field after the action. Wounded men were lying about, stretcher “bearers were carrying off the dead, and @ red cross nurse was bandaging one who had euffered in the fray. It was an exceptionally realistic scene, and Lieut. Arthur Peake, the director, deserves great credit for its conception. The other tab- leaux were under the care of Mrs. SBart- lett,and were also or @ splendid character. | Rale Britannia was really excellent, and the threescenes from “The Absent Minded Beggar’—He heard his country’s call, More than likely tbere’s a kid, and He saved the Empire, (Kitchener) — were admirably portrayed.
The thanks of the audience are due the promoters of the concert and all of the performers for providing such a pleasant evening’s entertainmen:. Special meation should he made of Captain Warts, Pro-~ fessor Vinnicomb2 and his fice B rchestia which was in exc.ptionally geod trim, Profeseor Earle and Mre. Mitchell. #iDurivg the evening the president, Mrs Gardiner, on behalf of the Red Cros Society, thanked the performers ard tbe audience for the great success wuich the r united efforts had made of the concert, and others for assistaace in various Wway- and explained the use to whieh the funds are put.
It was also announced that the Sons o/ England intend having anotuer patriotic celebration on St. George’s Day, Apri! 23d.
During the intermission about eix buo- dred boxes of candy were sold by 4 pum- ber of girls and boys distinctively dressed for the occasion. Mrs. F. L. Haszard ard Mre. W. F. Tidmarsh, who had,charge of this department, are aleoto te congiatu- lated on the success which attended their efforts.
The proceeds amounted to $395 00, of which $65.50 was realized by tue sale of candy.

He Passed Away After a Brief
Illness.
Last evening Mr. D. O’M. Reddin re- ceived a desyatch from New York stating that his gsrother-in-law, Dr. Joseph Creamer, was seriously ill of pneumenia |} and requested bis preseice at his bedside. Because of the late hour at which the des~ patch was received Mr. Reddin fouad it impossible to leave last night, but wired his intention of going tonight. ‘1 his fore- noon he received .a second telegram reporting the death of Dr. Creamer, and asking that Mr. Reddin bring his mother and sister with him to New York.
The sad news was a great blow to Mr. Reddin and his mother as well as the othes members cf the family.
Dr. Creamer was married toa daugbe ter of the late Judge Reddin, aud resided in Charlottetewn for some years before removiog to New York where he hadan extensive practice, He was about forty- séven years of age at the time of his death, His eldest fon is practising medicine in New York, The deceased visited Char- lottetown about four years ago, and his hosts of friends here give him a hearty welcome. To those the news of hi3 death willceme asa great shock. Tue Ex. AMINER joins in the general expression of reyret at his death.
Mr. Reddin wili leave for New York tonight. Either his mother or sister will accompany him.
PROHIBITION ASSOCIATION.
A maritime prohibition association has been organized at Moncton with the fol- lowing officers :
President—Rev. E. Crowell, Yar- mouth, ‘
Vice President—Rev. A. B. Fletcher, Truro.
Vice President for New Brunswick—W. L. McFarlave, Fredericton.
Vice President for P. E. Island—L. U. Fowler, Bedeque.*
Secretary—W. T. L. Reid, Frederi¢- ton.
Treasurer—J. A. Simpson, Amherst.
The object * of the association is the overthrow of the liquor traffic by pro- hibitory I-gislation, the association to be composed of delegates from tke mari- time and provincia! districts, county and other temperance aud rel'gious organiza- tions,
There was slengihy diecussion as to candidates to be supported in Dominion electione, and the tellowieag was finally adopted :
Resolved, that we recognize the pirl'a- merts of Cagada rather than the political parties as the source of probibitory Jegis- lation. That this association urge upon the prohibitionists in every constituency the necessity of electing mes from them- selves for representatives in the various parliaments. That we recommend the probibitionists 10 secure their interests in every constituency by workieg for the eOmination of prohibitionists by the party caucuses or refrain from voting.
A recolution was aleo passed memorial- izing the government to enact a probibi- tory law in accordance with tbe vote of the electors of Canada in the plebiscite poll ip Sey tember, 1898.”
The convention decided to engage a paid temperance orgacizer for the three proviu- ces, to get to work atonce.

“ Perhnps the most elabarate and well

About fifty invited friends of the Fitz- Geralds responded and were royally entertained until a late heur by the Dector and his estimable wife. Charade plays constituted the prin- cipal part of the evening’s performance.
The Doctor almost invariably directed the puzzie dramas as he invented, them and was in fact that evening an enigma him
self and kept everybody guessing. Every- thiog put on the boards gaye evidence of thought and thereugh preparetior. At an appropriate hour the spacious rooms were throwa in one and converted into ® veritable baaquet hall. Refreshments were served, galore which wasas usval com piimented by the gentlemen es being the moet apyree'ated part of the eveuirgs prograw.” Dr. and Mrs. FitzGerald are
former residents of Charlootetowa. Ia ther new home they seem to be adding to their high reputation as entainers.
