MENTS PLEASED AUDIENCE

Several Difficult Selections Were Given by Seniors.-Recitals Are Well Attended.
Miss Agnes Husband, gave a song recital at Fraser hall last night, which was one of the most remarkable ever given by a student at the University. A wide range was covered operatic aries being given from the earliest composer of Italian opera to the modern Weber whose great "Oberon" aria was the piece resistance and magnificently rendered from the storm scene to the rescue with all the varied emotions adequately expressed.
The modern songs were very pleasing especially the "Hindu Slumber Song," the "Little Gray Dove," and the "Bohomian Cradle Song," which effectively closed the program. The recital last night was a fitting culmination of her appearance at the University. The stage was decorated with roses and vines. The accompaniments were played by Miss Greisinger.
Miss Lillian Kirchoff gave a recital Tuesday night in which she read scenes from "The Sky Pilot" by Connor. Her rendition of the touching story was dramatic and moving. Two appropriate organ selections were played by Dean Skilton.

A CONVERT TO JAPAN
Such a One Was Hearn, The Novelist.
"The man who has best inter- poeted the Japan of today from a European standpoint is Laf adie Hearn, a novelist of wide repute." This was the opinion of Prof. Charles S. Skilton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, in his chapel talk Tuesday morning.
"Hearn," continued Prof. Skitton. "was a curious mixture of European blood, as he was born in the Ionian Islands and his father was an Irish sergeant in the British army. He lived in Wales for the first sixteen years of his life and then came to America. After twenty years here he went to Japan, to write books for Harper Brothers. There during the last fifteen years of his life he studied Japanese life and was able to give the world a true account of the Japanese from the viewpoint of the Occident. This was especially appreciated during the recent Russo-Japanese war when everybody was interested in Japan.
"He even became a Japanese citizen and married a Japanese woman. Moreover, he was converted to the Buddhism religion and on his death a few years ago was buried in a Buddhist cemetery with Buddhist rites. During the first five years of his life in Japan he claimed to have received no criticisms of any kind, and consequently he had a high opinion of the Japanese. Later he modified his views.
"He gained his start in life in the United States as a reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer. His first success was the detailed account of a murder and was due to the fact that he had a morbid curiosity for the unusual, such as calamities and ghost stories. At New Orleans he found work congenial to him on the Times Democrat which at that time, 1877, printed mostly essays and little news. From there he went to the West Indies and wrote of the island of Saint Pierre which was later completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption."
In closing Dean Skilton read several selections from Hearn's works.
