Tn Messiah.

The second season Of the 81. Paul Choral
society was inaugurated last night in a most
magnificent manner, by a mastery presenta-
ton OF Handers grand oratorio, ''The
J Messiah" II NAV be truly designated as an
event in the history Of st. Paul, as it was the
grandest musical entertainment ever essayed
here, and il dedicated to the muses. one Of
the finest halls ever built in the country.
To say that the Messiah was a success
musically would be too weak 4 phrase. II
was a triumph. The chorus was not SO full
as ii would have been II the night had been
more propitions, but the effect OF the two hun
dred present was admirable. The audience,
which numbered at least fifteen hundred,
was enthusiastic aud appreciative, aud the
general verdict was-a decided success.
Every chorus was rendered with great per-
fection, and the large orchestra was fully up
20 its work.
OF the solo work, perhaps Whitney is first
entitled TO notice as the king of oratorio
singing. His magnificent voice filed the
immense building with 4 wealth of melody,
while the phrasing and finish showed so truly
the work OF 4 master that all were electrified
aud entraneed. The range Of his voice Is
phenomenal, and his enunciation on low D
tiat is as perfect as on high T. Miss Phillips,
the e0ntralto, showed in her beautiful num-
bers some work which has never been equaled
here, and ia her arias: '.He was Despised, 8"
aud 'He shall feed his hock,' the rich tones
OF her delicious voice were heard 10 the best
advantage. Miss Kolntz added greatly TO her
already hne reputation by her delightful rem.
ditlon OF ner splendid solos. But of this we
may as well quote Mr.. Whitney, probably the
best authority available, and who has sung
the Messiah not less than one hundred times.
He saws. al have never been associated with
two amateurs who approached Miss KOuntz
and Mr. DOnahue in the roles they assumed.
The lady has delightful voice, true so
prano, and a conception Of the music that is
seldom found even in 3 professional. Mr..
Donahue has splendid voice, and one that
should be more fully developed.
He is one of the best
tenors I have heard for years. Mr.. Donahue
only commenced to study the part last Satur-
day and his WORK, aided by the splendid
coaching Of Siguor Jannotta, is quite pheno-
menal. Mr.. Dorgan, who was 10 have sung
the tenor, is III and could not appear.
Mr.. Whitney, Miss Phillips and all the
singers speak Ia the highest terms of the
acoustics Of the hall, and il is matter for
congratulation that ST. P4ul has now a place
where these entertainments can be given In
their entirety and perfection.

NEW CAFE
In the Wholesale District. Corner of

Beginning the New Year with New Wine in
New BEETLES.

The new Hatherington cafe, Of Smith
Bros, q. J. Hatherington, formerly of Hotel
Livingston, manager), corner of Fourth and
slbley, was opened to the public yesterday.
The establishment is most admirably
arranged and luxuriantly appointed,
no expense having been spared to
make it the gem OF the city. The marble
floors were laid at cost exceeding $1,000,
and the woodwork by JAS. RaysOn and
James r. Harris, equals in design and rich
ness anything in tue country. Geo. Jones
and TIE decorations were by Adix Bros. The
superb mirror which deeOrates the place is
the largest in the state, and everything
about the house is on the same hroad-gauge
scale. The private reception rooms are ad-
mirably adapted for little suppers and
where club parties may be held. These
room, as well as the public reception room
are elegantly furnished. Tue bill OF fare is
the most extensive in the city, the serving Gls
fat, and prices very moderate. The gentle
men who preside at the bar are Earnest C..
Seely, from Stewarts, New York city, and
Martin E Smith, for two years at Ed Stokes
Hoffman House place, New York, the most
superb establishment in the country. The
house imports all its foreign goods and buys
its whiskies in bond aud thus supplies the
purest. finest goods in the market,
making specially Of supplying families.
Such an institution in the heart of the
wholesale district supplies the very thing
needed, and is sure tO oe popular and ex-
tensively patronized- The parties engaged
In this enterprise are to be commended for
their hberality and intention to serve the
public with the best the world affords 1t

NIT that it may be in some respects, for IL Is

its travesty of truth, and its ravages on per-
sons and sections, especially the Southern
section of the country and its statesmen and
public men. His exhibition of his qualities
and capabilities during The campaign. his

of concealing the true, by the presentation of

The rendition OF the Messiah BY the
Choral society last night, and other counter
attractions, no doubt accounted in some
measure for the rather light attendance at the
Grand Opera house, in point Of size, the
audience being far below the merits OF the
really fine entertainment. The attraction
vas the new aud highly interesting drama Of

actor Mr.. Prank Mayo, WHO IS supported by
