Schubert Glee Singers Give Their First
subscription Concert.
The Schubert Glee Club gave its first
subscription concert of the season last
evening at the Tabernacle under the
most auspicious circumstances. Although
the heavens opened and the floods de-
scended most all of the day and the
night too, every seat in the large audito-
rum together with chairs in all the
aisles were filed when Mr.. Victor Baier
waved his baton and led the club in the
opening glee-Cook's Strike, Strike the
LYre.
The singing of the club showed that the
members have not been idle during their
long rest. Excellent as has been their
singing heretofore they sang even better
last evening, and in the finished manner
in which they rendered the numbers of
the programme which fell to their share
they paid high tribute to the intelligent
training of their leader. Mr.. Baier.
Their second selection was Salter's
Answered." and then they sang that
charming bit of nonsense. "The Owl and
the Pussy Cat, which Fred Ingraham, of
theWesleyan University, wrote for his col
lege glee club, in a manner which was ir-
resistable. The large audience applauded
and would no5 be satisfied until they
heard again how the owl and pussy cat
got their wedding ring.
That beautiful song OF Abt which tell
of the fate of "Holy Vineta," and which
the club sang last season, was repeated
by request. All the feeling and express
sion which has made this selection such a
favorite with the Schubert audiences'was
characteristic of last evenings rendition
and Was well worthy of the storm of ap-
plause it received.
The gem of the club work last evening,
however, was Dudley Bucks 'King Olaf's
Christmas" from that grand poem 1.-The
Saga of King Olaf,n by Longfellow.
In this number the solo parts were ably
sustained by Messrs. Charles Forster and
Gouverneur L. Norris Mr. Forster and
his artistic singing are too well known to
all lovers of good music in this city to
need any mention here, while Mr.. Norris,
who is q basso of more than ordinary
ability, acquitted himself with credit. In
this number the singers were accom-
panied by the New York Philharmonic
Club; Mr. Charles w. Chesley upon the
piano and Mr.. Louis Dressler upon the
organ.
"Whenever l gaze into thine eyes" by
Schelman and the old song, "Simon the
Cellarer'' completed the clubs work.
The club had the assistance of the New
Yord Philharmonic Club and Miss Ma
thilde Lennon, of Boston, young lady
with charming contralto voice and on
attractive presence.
The conscientious work of the Philhar
monies was thoroughly enjoyed by the
audience which demonstrated its appre
citation by frequent encores.

To BE Known as Mansfield Post and to
Have Forty Members to Start.
Some time since number of the mem
bers of James N. Van Buskirk Post No.
100, G. A. r., learned that there were in
Bayonne number of veterans of the late
war who had recently located there, but
who were unwilling to associate them
selves with the local Post. These gentle
men discussed the matter and finally re,
solved upon the establishment of new
Post, and with that end in view severed
their connection with the local organ

They were twenty in number and their
ranks have been augmented by about
twenty more, SO that the new Post will
stand with a membership of about forty.
1t will be named after General Mansfield.
A charter has been applied for and it is
expected that an organization will be
effected in about three weeks.

A few Land Decisions Reversed.

In the case of Wenzal in the Grand Forks n
d., land office, Assistant Secretary Chandler,
OF the interior department., has reversed one
OF the commissioners cranky decisions
Wenzel had showed that he had lived on his
claim the continuous time called for, but the
only point upon which flaw could be found
was that in the advertised notice three wit
nesses were named and only one appeared
Another witness was substituted, and he
cause his name did not appear in the adver-
usement the commissioner held that it was
Illegal. In his order reversing the decision
s cretary Chandler says:
mere irregularity which is prejudicial to
none VIII not be permitted to block the entry
mans pathway and stIew it with difficulties aud
formal objections, to the loss of his rights and
the cancellation of his entry.
Secretary Noble holds in decision in the
case OF GrIff n W. McMiilen of Colorado that
where an entryman makes an affidavit for a
timber culture claim outside OF the state
through an error that he may be allowed to
make a new entry Another decision which
indicates that the secretary is disposed TO be
liberal to homesteaders gives August Daft
ner the right to prove up on his claim en-
tered at the Watertow1 Is. d. land Office,
although ne was absent from time to time
and his family did not reside on the claim.
1t was shown that he had separated from
his wife. Assistant Secretary Chandler has
decided that James Fuller, who made a
timber culture entry at Walla Walla land
office, Washington Territory, is entitled to
his claim, even if there were 200 trees from
SIX inches to two feet in diameter growing
along gulch on the tract IL was not
shown that Fuller had not complied with the
law and the scattered trees and stumps ara
