May MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
Preparation for a Magnificent En-
tertainment at st. Louis
Next May.
81. Louis Evening Chronicle.

ST. Louis Evening Chronicle.
Arrangements are in progress for a
musical festival on large scale to be
given In this city next May. The 81
Louis Musical Union, the Henry Shaw
Musical Society and the newly organ
lied amateur orchestra, are the lead
ing spirits ia the enterprise. The plan
a. at present under discussion is to
give three grand concerts on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday evenings
of the third week in May at the Nat
atorium. The first to consist OF orch
ostrsl selections, violin solos by Rem
enyi, piano solos by a celebrated plan
ist. and vocal numbers by MIR, Myron
w. Whitney. Miss G. Thursby and
others. The orchestra will number 30
pieces, thoroughly drilled. The Sec
ond to consist of the celebrated orator
10 The Creation" by Haydn, or the
grand orasorio by Handel entitled
"Judas Maccabeus," never before
given in this city, with the same or
ehestra and soloists mentioned above.
Many requests have been made by the
music-loviug people of the city that
The Creation. which was so finely
given by the Henry Shaw Musical So
ciety in December should be selected,
the universal opinion being that the
choral wark of the society i'll this beau
tiful oratorio was absOluet perfection.
The Society will be assisted by large
increase of selected singers, maklDg a
grand chorus of 200 to 800 voices, with
an orchestra of so pieces and the bes'
oratorio soloists in the country. Inc
third concert will be similar to the
first except that the selections will bt
di6erent-with the probable addition
OF some local talent in chorus glee'
and vocal quartettes. This is move
in the right direction, and as it vii
be undoubtedly carried forward tt
completion it will pave the way for
still greater musical feast when th'
grand music hall of the Exposition
building is completed

Burns, "and had just risen to the

with lot of other young business
men. to Mr.. Webster"
"Well, sir, went fully impressed
with the greatness of Mr.: Webster
and, confess, somewhat elsted over
the honor thus accorded me. We all
assembled in the parlOr. fifteen or
twenty in number. Presently MIR.
! Webster entered the room, and We
were introduced. A social, general
chat Of perhaps half an hour followed,
Mr.. Webster talking all over the
room and with no one in particular,
after which We took our leave. The
remarkable feature which impressed
me was the fact that Mr.. Webster.

Common Sense in Religion.

dustrious, enthuiastic and successful,

ures, said DIR. Talmage, in the course
of a late ser non in the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle. We know how We stand for
this world. How do We stand for
eternity Oh ! my friends, we want
more common sense in matters OF re-
lipion. We want more common sense
in the structure of churches. There
are teas of thousands Of churches that
have no adaptiveness to Christian ser
vice. They are cold, angular and
unsvmpathetic. Men sit down under
the Gothic arches and they should
shiver, and they feel thew must be
getting religious or something else, for
thew feel so uncomfortable. The
most attractive buildings on earth
ought to be the churches of Jesus
Christ. In obtaining religious hope
more common sense is also wanted
Christian character should also be
built up. Some of you Christians
started in the Christian race thirty
years ago and you have not run three

A Good Country to Stay With.

A. A. McMaster, the we'll known
mining man of this city, says that,
after two years residence here, he is
confirmed in the opinion that he first
formed regarding this country, to-wit:
that it is good enough to stay with.
Moreover, he intends to get together
his stray pennies and odd cents and
invest them here. To that end, he
has just accepted an offer of $4,000
cash for some property which he owns
in Kansas, and which is rented for
$500 per year. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, Mr.. McMaster would

The new ho1el and courthouse are
almost turned over to the plaster
crs, who are now engaged in Iath-
ing and preparing their mortar, prior
to applying it to the walls. AT the
hotel every floor is lathed, and the
plasterers will begin plasterng to-
morrow, while couple of carpenters
work at the staircases.
At the courthouse there are men on
every floor. About Il dozen are at
work altogether, and more would be
if lumber could be got. A supply is
expected tomorrow, when a few more
carpenters will be put on. In the
basement men are Stacking lime anc

four are at work; and on the seconc
floor an equal number. The second
floor is nearly all lathed, and the plas-
terers will probably begin plastenns

THE BUZZO COMPANY.
What Has Been Done in its Property the
Past Winter-HOw Wood River Stands
in the West.

Superinten dent Buzzo, Of the Bl'z-
20 Mining Company, who has just re-
turned from trip through California,
Arizona. and Utah, says that Wood
River stands uniformly well with cap
italists everywhere. In San Fran
cisco, especially, the mining men be-
gin to see their mistake in not having
come here a year or two ago, and &C
quired control of our leading mines.
They did not come because, in the
first place, they did not fancy ''lead''
mines, as they contemptuously term
item; and, in the second place, be-
cause they did not believe we had
any mines at all worthy of the name
This summer, however, San Francisco
may prove as good market for ouI
properties as the East is.
Mr.. Buzzo says that he did not lose
any important papers by the burning
of his office in ketchum. All hi:
vouchers and accounts were in du
plicate, the latter being sent away
every month. AS he had closed hi
accounts up to the first of January
and as the fire occurred shortly afte
that, it destroyed no evidence or othe
paper of value but what can be re
placed.
The past winter several tunnels, az
grega,ing 500 or 900 feet, have bee
driven in the oompany's ground, an
Mr.. Buzzo will now proceed to drill

what there is liz the ines under h
control.

THE RAILROAD.
Its Extension 10 kttchum not Even
Mentioned in BOstOn-A Probability
that We Will Have Furnaces Here.

A gentleman who is in position to
know writes the TIMES that, at the
annual meeting of the Directors of the
Union Pacific Railway Company,
which was held in Boston a few weeks
ago, the subject Of extending the
road to ketchum was not even men,
toned, although at the same meeting
several other proposed extensions Of
the Union Pacific system were dis
cussed. The only reference to the
Wood River branch at that meeting
was by one or two directors, who de-
plored the fact that, in building to
Haley to seek, and fix upon, a ter
minus, the company had found it nee
essary to get into the snowy country
at all, and thus incurred great and
permanent additional expense in op-
Grating it during the winter months.

the building of the road, but have, SC
