be under the leadership Of DIR. Leopold
Damrosch, and the chorus, which will con-
sist of 200 select voices, including the
chorus of the Oratorio society, isnow hold
ing two rehearsals each week in sections.
Among the choral works selected are
the Dottingen "Te Deum," by Handel,
Rubinstein's "TOwer of Babel" and
Berlioz's Grand Requiem" The orches-
ira will share very largely in the work
to be done, and will comprise the best
available material, distributed as fol-
lows: so violins, 80 violas, 30 viOlon-
cellos, 20 double base viols, flutes, 6
oboes, English horns, 4 clarinets, 8 bas-
soons, 12 horns, 16 trumpets, 10 trOm-
bones, 4tubas, 10 tympani, 3 3barps-in all
about 2j5 Instruments. Besides the grand
festival chorus of !, 200 singers, arrange
ments have just been completed for an ad-
ditional interesting feature of the festival
in the formation of another choral force, to
consist of ] 900 young ladies and 700 boys,
the latter recruited from church chOirs,
who will sing several shorter but interest
ing choral compositions at some Of the

The unprecedented success Of Speer's Wine
in North and South America and Europe, has
gained for it among the medical faculty Il
standing reputation. Chemists and scientific
men have visited his cellar in New Jersey, and
analyAed his Wine, and pronounce 1t the most
healthy and beneficial in the market. The fol-
lowing letter was received by Mr.. Speer from
Dr. A. ID. Wilson, one of the Oldest and mast
celebrated phvscians of New York city: ~
have been in tho habit Of using Speers Port
Grape Wine, and have found it an excellent
stomachic, gentle stimulant and tonic. 1t is
especially useful in cases OF great nervous de-
bility and stomach weakness"
The disposition of unprincipled dealers to
adulterate wines has compelled Mr.. Speer to
bottle all his productions. and place his sigma
ture over the cork so rs to insure to the public
itspurity. 1t is being used in churches for
communion purposes.

On Saturday Dailey's MINISTRIES visited
Marietta, where they gave al entertain
mcnt in tte evening to a housc which WAS
about three quarters full. The show was
a good one and it greatly pleased the audi
ence. Harry Gallagher, who has made
for himself IL reputation as being q ''4uear'
man, was the mana ger Of the show. When
the entertainment was about half over he
went to the box office, and by drawing
a knife and threatening to kill George
Goodhart, he succeeded in getting the
proceeds OF the evening. He paid off the
hall rent, license. newspaper bills, and
the cost of the slcighs which took the
troupe to Marietta. He then told the
members of the company that he bad set
tied for everything. When it was time to
go home Gallagher was not about and the
proprietor of the hotel stated that he
had not been pai! for the supper
of the showmcn. \ search was made
for Gallagher but when found lie said
he had no money, he having either spent
or concealed about SEQ, with which he
should have paid the bills. An arrange
ment was then made with the hotel pro
rrietor by which his bill will bc paid, and
the troupe was enabled to leave for this
city, where they arrived carly yesterday
morning. Every member Of the show be-
haved in an orderly manner except Gal
lagher, who got drunk and made q great
deal Of noise besides cheating the other
people in the troupe out Of their share of
the profits.

was of the "choke" variety. Instead Of
pole-cat coming after the bait crow put
in his appearance and seemed to partially
understand the ''dodge." Instead Of pick
ing out the bait with his bill he reached
one of his claws after it. The trap worked
beautifully, and the claw of the crow was
caught between it's iron jaws. Pretty soon
a hawk made its appearance at the trap,
but whether to fight the crow or get the
bait, no one can tell. However, when a
neighbor Of the noted trapper came upon
the scene lie found that the crow had one
claw caught in the trap, while with the
other he was holding the hawk to the
ground at the neck.
