1HKft1eth Anniversary Ce1ebra-
 ggd at Germania Hall-A Delegation
 From Williamsburg Participates
 In The Affair.
 At Germania Hall on Saturday evening was begun the celebration of the thirtieth an- niversary of the Teutonia M@nner Chor. The hall was well filled. Among the audi ence were thirty members of the Williams burg Sangerbund.
 At s. o'clock the festivities were opened in the hall with Coroner Bollman as president Long tables filled up the center of the hall and the benches on either side of each table were occupied by between 200 and 300 hap py Germans. After supper Coroner BoIlman delivered speech in German, in which he, on behalf of the societies present, extended a hearty welcome to their out of town breth- ren. The sociability continued until late hour. Some fine singing was enjoyed. Last evening another large crowd was present and an interesting programme gone through with. This evening there will be a ball. The committee of arrangements having charge of the anniversary preparations are William Fricke, William Hustler, Peter De- gan, F. Monz and A. Schmidt.
 Friday night the Teutonia Manner Chor elected these officers: President, William Kustier; vice president, F. Monz; recording secretary, H. c. Junig; corresponding secre- tary, A. Schrader; treasurer, John Ruff; col lector. Charles Albig; trustees, Jacob Stein meyer, John Landau and F. Brill The private sacred concert last evening was great success. It was largely attended and was very enjoyable. The programme em- braced selections by Thomas full orchestra, chorus songs by the various singing societies represented, baritone solos by W. Schwieardi, soprano solos by Bertha Roemer, and violin solos by Edward Balek. The whole program me was well carried out, every number being enthusiastically applauded. A pleasant feat ure of the exercises was the presentation of a silver cup to the Teutonias by the Williams burg Sangesbund. It was a complete sur prise to the Teutonias and was a most agreeable expression of the hearty and cor dial relations of friendship that have so long existed between the two societies The pres ldent of the Williamsburg Sangerbund, MT. Vorgaug, made the presentation speech after song by that society, and Mir. Louis Weckes- ser, the former president of the Teutonias, made few very appropriate remarks in ac- cepting the cup, which is prized very highly by the society
 Rosinus' orchestra will play for the grand ball this evening.

The fish showed much re- sistance, and before he was killed Mir. Prince had to hit him several hard blows with the club. The sturgeon was very large one, weighing about two hundred and twenty five pounds, and was over seven feet in length. The fish was taken ashore, cut up, and most of it salted down. The meat of this fish is very fine favored and is considered a fayoTite dish

A Service by the ". M. c. A-Address
 By Rev. Dr. Peck.
 An afternoon service for the Y NJ. O. A, was held at the Atheneum yesterday, con- dueted by Rev. J. O. Peck, D. D., who spoke with his usual eloquence and excellence. The story of Paul in the last chapter of Acts, his shaking from his hand the viper into the fire, was rather, he said, motto than text for his address. Worldliness and evil com pany were held up as the vipers clinging to and paralyzing the hands of Christian work CTS. A consecrated life of 0 young man. though possessed of no fortune, was of far more value than all the wealth of a million aire. He gave most practical, thrilling ad- dress All joined heartily in the singing, adding interest to the meeting A large number of young men were present

ColIeee street f1hUre1,.

The Rev. Dr. W. W. McLAne preached an excellent sermon last evening before large congregation. His subject related to young men, and the text was from the second chap ter of the first epistle of St. John and four teenth verse. Young men were exhorted to beware of evil examples, even though they were set by men of high station and honored among men. The lives of Paul and Peter were held up as worthy examples. Young men are not as strong as the devil, but they need to stand in the faith of Christ When they give up their hearts to him they are on the road to victory over sin The sermon was rich in suggestions and authorizations for the good of the young.

TO YOUNG MEN.
Sermon at the Davenport Church. nrA-

Sermon at the Davenport Church. Last evening the Rev. l. c. Meserve preached very instructive and eloquent sermon to young men. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Y M. c. A. and large congregation was present. Mir. Meserve said in the course of his remarks that cold, sedate, judicial young man was an anomaly. All is not gold that glitters. A fair name is better than riches. Young men should be crowded into the vineyard. Every young man should be up and doing for the Lord. All could do something an5 everyone was fitted to help the cause in some way.
 Every Christian should be living healthy, earnest Christian, not efigies, nor bid and tired. He thinks the people are too liberal and spend more time in at- tending to other things besides religion than they ought. Be careful how you talk, what books you read, of your pray ing. Act promptly. If we neglect Gods word we are traitors. Never be ueo1ectfn1 but always be ready to do what God has for you to do. When man dies he can carry with him good name, but he cannot carry riches with him. It is folly for us to lay up that which we cannot take with us. 1t IS the duty of every young man to seek sal- vation rather than social or mutual advan tages. Let civilization take care for itself. look for mems souls instead.
 When you try to convert man go at him in way that makes him feel you are iI earnest in the matter, and that it is not so much augmentation on your part as it is the spirit of anxiety to bring him to Christ. Let it be done urgently. Let men understand they are in danger. Be urgent, be prompt. ever on the alert to do men good
 MT. Meserve closed with an eloquent ap- peal to the unconyerted. His remarks were listened to with close attention. After prayer by the secretary of the Y. M, e. A. MT. Williams, collection was taken for the international committee of the Y. M. 0. A.
