MUSICAL ROANOKE.

1t is gratifying to know that the
musical people of Roanoke are about to
organize permanent chorus and that
fhe music lovers of the city may look
forward to again being RECALLED in the
near future with such noble harmonies
as were rendered by the splendidly
drilled and intelligent singers who took
part in the DeoenRial Concert.
The musical possibilities of Roanoke
were clearly emphasized by the concert
and we predict q splendid success for
the new organization.
Aside from the gross benefit which
will accrue to our church chorus end
other musical bodies from the drilling
received in such an organization, there
is direct benefit secured 10 the com
munity at large whereby Roanoke will
be brought into prominence as musical
center, and its citizens enjoy the proud
privilege Of pointing to another evil
dence of Roanoke's superiority.

rEnMAsENs Mus1oAL SOCIETY.

Steps Taken to Organize Ono IA, This City
The wonderful efficiency v.ttalned in
q short time by the body of singers
forming the recent Decsonial chorus,
suggested to its members and all who
enjoyed the decennial concert, the ad-
visibility of effectiDg the permanent
organization of a musical society, whose
object would be to advance the musical
interests OF Roanoke, and develop its
latent oalent by the preparation and
rendition of concerts, ovatorios and
operes. That Roanoke possesses the
REQ uisite talent for such musical efforts
was;xmply demonstrated at tho Decen-
niel concert.
With u view of effecting the organiza-
tlon above outlined meeting was held
at the Hobbio Music Hall the week fol-
owing the concert, at which, after dis
'cussing the necessary preliminary steps
for such organization, the meeting ad
'iourned subject to the call Of Prof. P. G.
Leary, musical director Of the Decennial
concert. Prof. Leary and his col
leagues, since that time, have been ao-
lively engaged in the interests of the
proposed society, and in few days will
issue call through the press, giving
the time and place of meeting selected
for its organization, at which it hoped
all Roanoke singers AID musicians will
be present, as it is fully contemplated
that membership in the new organiza-
ton shall be open to all whose musical
talent or ability would commend them.
1t is the intention, also, of those con-
cerEed in this move to endeavor to
establish permanent orchestra in con-
junction with the Choral Society, such
orchestra to be composed of all pro-
fessional and amateur talent available
for the purpose. Recalling the mag
nificent concert given by Roanoke sing
ers and musicians during the 'Decennial
there seems to be no reason why Roam
oke should not take tine front rank OF
all the Virginia cities in musical mat
tiers, and the projected society will I'M
6oubtedly receive the hearty support of
all persons interested in maintaining
the superiority of Roanokein all direc-
tions.

THE,OHOnERA.

The report of case of cholera at
Chicago proves to be a false alarm. 1t
contained elements of improbability in
the first place which condemned it.
In lower New York harbor, however,
the cholera is raging on several of the
ocean vessels which are held there in
quarantine. Many new cases and sew
oral deaths are reported daily at that
point. The authorities place confldeaoe
IN their ability to keep out the disease
and are really deserving of more credit
than they receive.
