BOOKER. T. WASHINGTON, junder the management of Mme. John Esputa Daily. Mme.

His |memory will never die so long as his daughter, Mme. Daily, lives. She isa |most aimable talker and an accom- | plished musician. Her knowledge of }music is preeminent and beyond ail | doubt she is an excellent entertainer. |she has broughtthe choir up toa de- |gree of pecfection and her interest in | the work is manifested by the number | | of good singers and their well traineu | voices. Among a few of those who are |rising inthe art of singing, is Miss] jjulia Benjamin, a little girl whose; | voice has been the result of one year’s | | study with Madame Daily.

The rising young} lady in the choir is Miss Irving, she ts | no doubt one of the sweetest sigers in the City. She is a sweet and classic | singer. MissIrving made a great hit two Sabbaths ago in one of her select | pieces. There is no doubt but that | she will soon take the lead in the choir. She is highly thought of by the’ di- rector who sees a great future for her. Yokohama is the destination of the} apostle, whither he has gore on @ two-years’ assignment by the church| powers. Elders A. 0. Taylor Y S.| Ensign, and L. A. Kelsch accompanied) the apostle, the four breaking away; from their worldly interests in thet state capital, as if indeed, they were no part of the estate of the Latter- Day saint. This dispatching of the Mormon apostle-banker on this mission is il- lustration of the power of the church which years ago was driven from habitation in Ilinois. When the admission of Utah as a) state was under consideration and advisement d when the Mormon church found it expedient to treat with the United States authority, He- ber J. Grant was one of the elect of! the church. He was high in church councils, prominent in the affairs of the territorial capital, a banker, cap~ italst, and making money in half a dozen ventures. He kept place and influence after the admission of the territory to statenood, and he was making money still when he was chosen to spread the doctrines of Joseph Smith to Asia.
