Chappell Hill Concert.
The Chappell Hill correspond
ent of the Houston Post sends
the following interesting account
of a recent benefit concert by' the
Epworth League to the program
of which a"number of Brenham
itesAvere contributors:
The concert given by the Ep
worth League -was a grand suc
cess. A large and apprecia
tive audience greeted the
occasion and frequent
and loud applause demon
strated their pleasure. The
double quartette from Brenham
contributed largely to the. suc
cess achieved, and the selections
they sung were rendered in most
accomplished and artistic style.
They are singers, indeed, and
Chappell Hill is greatly indebted
to them for their assistance.
Miss Becker, of Brenham, ren
dered a piano solo unexceptiona
ble in its beauty and incompara
ble in its execution. Then came
a duet by Misses Ettielew Mat
thews and Sadie Elliott Milton,
which they sang with sweetness
of voice indescribable and with a
depth of pathos unequaled.
The solo sung by Miss Ettie
lew Matthews "was the accom
plishment of the occasion, and
was sung with power and en
ergy, the full glorious volume of
sound floating out in the air,
sometimes in strength, and fill
ing the.room and then sinking
with a gentle cadence as if melt
ing into silence. She poured her

soul into the song and trans
ported all who heard her with
her own passion, and when she
ceased singing a perfect hurri
cane of applause greeted her.
It is impossible to give all the
details of the concert. Besides
music, we had recitations and
posings artistic. The recitations
by Miss Becker, of Brenham,
and Miss Bisline, a teacher of bur
college, were exceptionally good,
