THE GOUNOD SOCIETY.

The Soloists for the Oratorio of
 s'EliJah''-The Work Progressing
 Very satisfactorily.
 Last evening another rehearsal of the Gounod society was held in the Presby- terian chapel on Eln1-street The work of the society is progressing in most satis- factory manner under Signor Agramonte's efficient direction. The chorus is com posed of 250 voices from the very best musical talent in both the city and the university and Signor Agramonte says the tone of singing is better for this concert than ever before. AS has been announced Mendelssohn's wonderful and inspired ora torio of ''Elijah" will be the selection ren- dered.
 Iu the number of years that the society has been before the public it has always been successful in all that it has under taken and has continually added to it's reputation.
 Yesterday it was announced that in all probability the celebrated Clementine De We're of New York will be the soprano. The other soloists are the following New York artists Miss Olive Fremstadt, w. H. Rieger tenor, Max Heinrich baritone. From this it will be seen that the cast will be superior to any that has before been in this city. The orchestra for the occasion | will be made up of forty performers, most | of them being members of the far-famed Seidl orchestra of New York. As will be noticed, all the artists are from New York, whereas before they have generally been secured from smaller cities.
 Those in charge have felt compelled to exclude the public from the rehearsals, az there is no room for the crowd of outsiders who assemble to hear the music at each rehearsal.

DO YOU.

In buying, always try to get the cheapest without regard to quality?
 A better way is to buy the BEST without consid- ering the price.
 It is better still to buy at the Temple of Furniture, where we keep the best of everything and where you know the price will bejust what the article is worth.
 If the price is very low the quality must be very poor, yet it is not always true that when the price is high the quality is equally so. Furnish your house at our store, and price, quality, treatment and all will be right.

ADJUDGED INSANE.

Mrs. Sarah Althea Sh8rOn.Terry is
 Committed to the Insane Asylum
 at Stockton-Her Actions in Court.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-Mrs. Sarah Althsa Sharon Terry was to-day adjudged insane and was committed to the state asy- lum at Stockton. The proceedings were conducted before Judge Levy. The court room was crowded with spectators, includ- ing many prominent citizens. When the Nanny Pleasant, Mrs. Terry's colored nurse, was the first witness. She related various instances recently occurring to in dicate that Mrs. Terry was insane. "She is constantly talking about spirits and about Judge Terry" said Nanny Pleasant, ssand am afraid she may harm herself or others"
 Mrs. Terry questioned the witness. She put long series of interrogations which covered the doings from the time when her trouble became apparent few weeks ago to the time she finally left Nanny Pleas ants house. Similar questions were put to the other witnesses. She sometimes displayed clearness and humor and then wandering in her questioning or breaking into hysterical laughter. Mrs. Terry was also placed on the stand, but talked incoherently, and after another wit ness had testified to instances where Mrs. Terry had displayed irrational symptoms the court ostensibly adjourned until o'clock. In the meantime the order com- | hitting her was signed by Judge Levy. Mrs. Terry was taken away in closed car. riage. It is stated that her insanity is due | to general debility brought on by the ner. | vous tension of the last few years.

CONVENTION.

ConsIderation Of the Postal Service
 System Resumed-The Special De- livery Service Also Talked Up-The
 Visitors Banqueted by MT. wana.
 maker.
 WASHINGTON, March 10.-The confer ence of postmasters resumed considers tion of matters relating to the postal ser vice to-day. The conference recommended that the government give guarantee of $10 to all senders of registered matter and recommended adherence to the present scale of registry fees, which, in the judg- ment of the conference, was the most con- sistent with absolute safety. Discussion was had on the matter of free delivery service. It was decided to recommend to congress the passage of an act providing for a compensation for substitute carriers not to exceed $4O0. These substitutes are to be employed in relieving carriers on the heavier routes and for incidental and e1- traordinary service.
 The matter of special service was consid- cred and it was the unanimous judgment that an amendment to the law should be asked providing car fare for special messen- gers eIuplOyeO LO Q0uV6r l0ulofS. 1t IS De- lieved this would so enlarge the scope of the service as to increase the receipts. The conference discussed the subjects of more distinctive oolors for boxes and envelopes, and while favorable to @ change, action was postponed. The question of separation of mails on railway postal cars was discussed. It was the concensus of the opinion that the separation should be made for the car rier routes, boxes and general delivery. The conference has not yet taken action on this subject. A resolution authorizing postmasters to employ carriers on clerical work was discussed, but negative conclu- sion was arrived at.
 The resolution presented by MT. Taylor of New York favoring the adoption in large cities of system of pneumatic tubes or other mechanical device for the transpor- tation of mails between depots and post offices and stations was adopted. It was decided to recommend to congress an ap of $20, 900 for the employment of experts to report upon means and de- vices to that end. Postmaster General Wanamaker to-day gave breakfast to the visiting postmasters.

REV, DIR. JOHN HALL

| Lectures on ssThc Minister as q Preacher, Before a Large Audience at Marquand Chapel.
 Dr. John Hall, the eminent Presbyterian divine, lectured before large audience of the students of the divinity school yester- day afternoon at o'clock on the "Min- lister as Preacher" He spoke briefly as follows:
 In treating this subject shall divide it in- to three heads: The minister as preacher, the minister as pastor and the minister the pulpit as what is and what has been implied by the word emphatic ally favored for the preacher the pulpit as distinguished from the platform. He defined a preach CTS congregation as in the true sense an assemblage ready, perhaps eager, for the word of God and its application to their daily lives.
 A congregation, again, is body of peo- pie who are supposed to be regular in at tendance and not of the transient kind.
 A feature of religious activity is illus trated by the advertising of religious exer- cises in the Saturday paper. This method of publishing broadcast throughout the city notices of Gods meetings may be all right, but I, for my part, seriously object to such scheme. Some say that there are strangers in the city who need to be in- formed, but say that such information can be gained without advertising aid.
 Some distinguished ministers give ten or fifteen-minute talks before each sermon on some important topic of more than passing interest, but I consider this not {o ha ;p oooordopoa pitb fba Christian spirit, and entirely inappropriate to Sunday worship. You have, doubtless. often heard of ministers predicting their sermons with a few re- marks to the children. This may be con sidered important, but maintain that sermon should contain instruction for old and young, high and low. Otherwise when the children's part of the discourse is ended the children will think that there is no longer need of attention, and so miss a great benefit. A preacher should have something of the word of God for every one.
 When minister breaches he must make all hear, otherwise his efforts in composing a good sermon will be in vain. Many men need training in elocution, others possess enough power in that line already. This may be small point to notice, but in the end the preacher is judged by small things.
 Who of you has not heard minister drop his voice in the most important part of the sentence or raise his voice so that the words could not be heardi The effect intended to be produced is thereby lost I may cite the late MT. Sturgeon as an ex- ample of a lucid speaker. He preached in 8 very large auditorium, but he could be distinctly heard throughout the building.
 Again, preacher should not be guilty of using provincialisms. This may attract attention in no small degree.
 Although these points which l have mentioned may seem to be of minor im- portance, yet if they be carefully observed the results obtained in preacher will be marked.

PROMISES pIsRKsArnRn.

William Nicely and George T. White
 Guaranteed the Necessary sS,o0O
 for Carrying on Base BalI.
 The base ball enthusiasts of this city feel that New Haven and Providence have been unfairly dealt with in not being admitted to the league. Mir. 0. D. White, president of the Eastern league, and Manager Frank lin of the Buffalo team had assured MT. Burnham repeatedly that both cities would be admitted to the league If they were put on Dound financial basis. Managers Burnham and Shannon went to Rochester with the requisite proofs of the favorable state of the finances in this city In addi- tion to this telegram was sent from here by William Neely and George T. White guaranteeing to raise the necessary g, 900, and offering to deposit q 900 when called upon. Now, it was virtually in the power of President White and Manager Franklin to secure the admittance of these cities, but in the face of all their promises to MT. Burnham, they submitted to the wishes of Troy and Albany for 6 more compact cir cult and threw over New Haven and Prov idence for Elmira and Binghamton. If promises meant anything this city would be represented in the Eastern league.
