 Its Coming gConcert-First Rehearsal

Noted Artists who are to Assist at
 Its Coming gConcert-First Rehearsal E Last Night.
 The Gounod society at it's production of the Redemption" Friday, February 27 will have the assistance of the following noted artists: Mrs. Jennie Patrick-Walk- CT, soprano of Boston; MT. Carl Dufft, baritone, and MT. Charles Herbert Clarke, tenor, of New York; MT. Myron, w. Whit ney, bass, of Boston. In addition..to this the society has secured the famous Ger mania orchestra of Boston. This an nouncement should be enough to sell every seat in the Hyperion. Mrs. Jennie Patrick Walker is without peer in this country as an oratorio soprano. She has sung for the Handel and Haydn society ] many times, was the leading soprano at | the great Worcester festival last fall, and recently in New York set all the critics
 talking by her splendid work in the l Messiah" at / the Metropolitan opera house. She is great artist and of che l class of singers of whom Mir. Carl Dufft | and MT. Charles Herbert Clarke are well l known in New York as artistic singers of great merit, MT. Outfits superb baritone 1 being in great demand. MT. Clarke is the tenor of the Broadway Tabernacle church and is eminently fitted for oratorio work. His voice is a pure, sweet tenor of lovely l quality and finish. Of MT. Myron w.. Whitney it is unnecessary to speak; his
 name is household word. He has lost
 none of his fire and his great voice was
 never heard to better advantage than at
 the recent annual performance of the
 Messiah" by the Handel and Haydn soci- ety in Boston. At the close of his great
 aria, "For the Trumpet Shall Sound, :" the
 audience rose en masse and gave him a
 tremendous ovation. The Gounod society
 is to be congratulated upon having secured
 this unusual array of talent.
 The first rehearsal of the chorus occurred
 last evening. One hundred singers, com l prising the Gounod society and forty of
 the leading church choir singers in the
 city and vicinity, were present. The ranks
 are nearly complete, but it is probable that
 few more voices will be added.
 l The Popular Concerts.
 The public are requested to purchase their admission tickets to the popular con
 cert previous to the night of the perform
 ance and avoid the rush at the ticket office | A few reserved seats are to be obtained al
 Peck's and Steinert's.

Civilian with simple Ceremony.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Funeral
services were held at II o'clock a IN.
over the remains of the late confeder-
ate general Joseph +. Johnston at
St Johns Episcopal church. The
church was crowded with con-
federate veterans and many people
prominent in official life The services
were of the simplest character; no at
tempt at decorating the church was
made, and no flowers save wreath of
immortelles on the coffin were visible
This simplicity, characteristic of the
man, was observed at his earnest re
quest, as he did not desire any display.
Though the church was filed with
battle-searred veterans, there was not a
uniform visible to announce the fact
The last great soldier of the civil
conflict was buried as civilian, not as
a soldier. Rev. DR. Douglass, the rector
of st Johns church. assisted by
Rev. DIR. MeKim. confederate chaplain
of Johnston's command during the war,
conducted the services. The remains
were conveyed to Baltimore ON the 1880

mac railroad
