Of pleasant memories in the annals of the
Tuesday Club.
The evenings music festival offered its
themes of special suitability and harmony
~ the season of the year. What a CRATE
Jul spectacle, too, CHANGING around the
large audience assembled at the Opera
House last evening, as the first inspiring
notes OF Mendelssohns great cantata
gathered eye and ear in obedient, incon-
sclous unison towards the singers, to feel
again and share with others the wonderful
influence of the creators greatest boon,

well known here and are already we'll
established favorites in Wilmington But
there were two new voices appearing in
duet, Miss Wales and Miss May Brown,
whose singing WAS positive treat. In re-
gard to Tie chorus singing, it was an I'M
denlablc pleasure 10 sit and listen to its
delightful harmony.
The concert opened with Memberships
18th Psalm, whose noble passages Instantly
nxeu the attention of the audience The
execution of the duet, "In His Hands, :"
by Miss Wales and Miss Brown received a
well-earned NEED of praise from the audi
encc and also floral acknowledgements.
Just at the close Of the psalm Mrs.
Smalley and Miss Lore took their seats on
the platform. Their appearance was the
signal Tor very hearty applause.
The more solemn majestic strains of the
psalm We're followed, in pleasing contrast,
by the bright viyacious measures of the
opening lines of Weber's "Three Seasons. p
Here was the real floral concert, SPRING

The final chorus

plauded again and again
The noble, majestic Introduction of the
Stabat Mater induced new and solemn
feeling. This, followed by the glorious
chorus outburst DUN pendcbatH alone
repaid in its volume of delightful harmony
for ones presence last night. Then cane
the gem 'f'ujus amman with its wierdly
beautiful Instrumentation. This Mr.. Auty
sang with splendid musical effect. There
was a storm of applause as lie closed ia
the Matt tpmuas inclyti." Another de-
lightiul passage was the well-known
'Quis est homo" The recitative bass and
chorus IN the next stanza but one was APP
planded. Miss Lore's rendering Of the
passage, Fac ut porten," earned that
young lady a special floral offering. The
lniiammatus, by Mrs. Smalley. and the
chorus, was ono of the must enjoyable
renderlngs of the evening,
Another very beautiful effect was in the
tenor and base following in the rich-toned
"Parddisa gloria"
The Instrumentation throughout the
evening was very fine and not the least en-
joycd Of the concert features.

greatness of the works of God at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church this morning.
The spacious ediiice was filled to over
flowing, and hundreds were turned away,
unable to get in.
1t is claimed by many that this sermon
Of Bishop Foster was the greatest address
yet delivered at this conference. The mass
meeting this afternoon was in the interest
OF tho Epworth League. Bishop Fitz-
gerald; Bishop Vincent, Bishop Warren
and other distinguished speakers took part.
The attendance was so large that an over
How meeting was held in the First Baptist
Church.
At Saturdays business session the report
upon the Epworth League was taken up.
The report stated that the Epworth League
had ut present 1000 local leagues, with
4O0,O0O members. The report presents an
amendment to the discipline providing for
the proper recognition and government of
the league. This amendment provided for
a board OF control, consisting of 10 MEM
bers, of whom one shall be bishop. II
also provides that the local leagues shall
be under the supervision and guidance of
the annual conferences with which they
are connected. The amendment also pro-
vldes for the publication of the Epmorth
Herald, as the official organ. The exccu-
tive office of the league is located at
Chicago.
II was decided to allow the board of con-
troll to elect the secretary of the Epworth
League. but to have the conference elect
the editor of the Eptoorth Herald. A long
wrangle took place over the attitude the
presiding elders and other officers of the
annual conferences should assume toward
the Young Peoples Societies of Christian
Endeavor and other young peoples socie-
ties in the church not belonging to the Ep-
worth League, 1t was finally decided that
all the young peoples societies connected
with the church, whether Epworth League
or not, should come under the jurisdiction

rhs wise HAN ana Ilis Umbrslla.

~'The wise man always carries an uni-
breIla,' is well-known old saw, said
an umbrella manufactures, and it is not
such bad one, either but the wise man
who carries All umbrella Is still lacking
In wisdom If he doesn't place it, when it
Is wet, handle downward TO dry. Show
me an umbrella that has holes worn in
the silk about the ring at the top. while
the body of the material il still intact
throughout. and ! viii show you an
owner of an umbrella who doesn't de-
serve to own one, not il it is good one;
and show me an umbrella that las holes
in il along the ribs before natural use Of
IL should make them come there. aud
will show you an owner who carries his
umbrella more for sake OF appearance
than for utility.
A wet umbrella placed handle down
drips the moisture from il at the edges OF
the frame. aud the material with which
il is covered dries evenly, and leaves no
spot still soaked with water. IL it is
stood handle upward the water runs
down to one spot at the top, where the
strong cloth lining shout the ring holds a
good deal Of il, and in a comparatively
short time rots the material, aud il
breaks easily.
THE man who carries umbrella
swathed in its case when it is not called
into use by rain. TO give it and him
more stylish appearance on parade. viii
soon find it wearing out from top 10 bot
tom This is because OF the constant
friction between the case and the silk,
and no matter of how good quality it
may be the holes will appear in it long
before they should. aud the dealer who
sold the umbrella will Of course be
blamed for selling inferior or damaged
goods. There are many people SO igno-
rant of the proper treatment of an um-
brella that they will actually roll it az
when wet, and leave it rot and moulo
until the next time they want it for use.
"Of course, if it wasn't for such
thoughtful folks we wouldn't sell so
many umbrellas, but we would escape
great deal Of grumbling and growing
from customers about the quality Of
what we SELL II you want your um-

not. and dry it open. handle down.
