The Alhambra Palace, in the Eighth
ward, has been secured for the sangerfest.
This Is the only building in the city OF a
suitable size which has the requisite acous-
tic properties for a successful musical en-
tertainment. 1t is besides well lighted,
well ventilated and convenient OF access.
The instrumental part Of the pro-
grammes will be by the Opera House
orchestra augmented tothirty.one instru-
ments by additions from the musical
organizstionsof Pittsburgh and Columbus,
The ladies' chorus will probably consist
OF considerably over one hundred voices,
and the male chorus will be somewhat
larger. The prlma donna will be Miss
Dora Henninges, Of Cleveland, a charming
woman possessing majestic physique
and queenlike appearance on the stage,
and q rich, sympathetie msazo.soprano
voice, thoroughly schooled. She ranks in
the estimation OF able critics as one OF the
greatest singers OF the country. Mr.. O.
Kausche, OF Baltimore, has been engaged
as tenor. He is also highly spoken Of by
leading critics. The other vocal soloists
will probably be the most popular local
amateurs, selected for their artistic merit.
This brief allusion to some OF the attrac.
tions to be offered will serve TO convey a
somewhat adequate impression of the
high character Of the programmes 10 be

A Good Way to Prevent Cholera.

IF cholera does come, " said one Of our
pulpit men in his sermon. lit will attack
the i'll fed. the Incorporate. the disc.
bedient, the people weakened by dissipa-
tion or fear. Other things being equal IL
will leave the strong. the obedient and the
healthy. The first ~injuntion is; Be not
afraid. A cheerful man is protected
against epidemics by the mere fact that
he does not permit himself TO fear all at
tack of the prevailing disease l need not
tell you to obey all the sanitary laws
Not only to make your houses and homes
clean, but also make them cheerful
Cheerfulness is q health, giver. The man
who strives for pleasure Is not happy,
while exhausting pleasures are more de-
leterious than wearying toll.
Next to an obedience to the ordinances
of the board of health, l would recon-
mend the closing of all business houses on
Saturday afternoons, the spending of
Saturdays in such a way that there will
be no Sunday morning headaches, and
the spending of Sundays so hat there
will be no Monday lassitude Inordinate
pleasure kills more people than cholera
or any other epidemic. Another health.
giver is a good conscience The con
science, burdened with evil, anticipated
or accomplished, is a d~isorganizing Gle
ment to happiness and health.
