Notes Concerning Future, Present and
Past Events.

Notes Concerning Future, Present and
Pas, Events.
4 week from today the great move
mert OF giving the grandest Of all re-
ligious musical compositions, IIandcfs
oratorlo of "The Messiah" free to the
public every Christmas or at least, near
that time, will 20 sugurated. Too
much praise cannot be given to the
Oraterio society for putting into opera
ton plan suggested by one CT our
most noblest of phllaHthropists. The
hour for commencing has been p aced
at S:lo so as not TO conflict with the
churches, and majority of the minis
tiers Will shorten their services that all
may take advantage of the beautiful
service. The order of exercises will be
published in full next Sunday.
The OratorIo society announce the
engagement of Mr.. George Henschell
and his charming wife VINO will give
one OF their charming recitals about
April 90 in Hartnnan's hall. THIS IS
only one of the attractions offered to
the subscribers to their guarantee fund.
The coming of Mr.. George Henschell
to this country may change some of
the plans of Mrs. F. NJ. Eis who had
expected to study with thi$ great artist,
when she went abroad.
st. Marks has only a chorus choir
now. Mr.. Campbell is the efficient d.
| rector.
Something dropped at the Universal.
ist church. Ask some of the choir.
The Oratorio Society will rehearse
three times the coming week. The ex.
ira rehearsals will be announced to-
| morrow evening At the regular meet
| ing. Every singer in the city familiar
with the "Messah'' should help the So
ciety IN its great struggle for muse
, and morality and join in the chorus
next Sunday evening.
Jno. L. Bartlett, manager for George
Henschei, spent Thursday IN the city,
d guest Of Conductor Morehead.
Mr.. l.. 2. Eddy has returned from a
two weeks trip; east visiting his
| mother.
Musicians are n fearfully jealous 10,
of people. Their feelings on some sub
jects are really funny. Last week
Mr.. Friedrich had the misfortune to
burn out. Now some of oul
musicians who, before the accident,
thought 1t a sin to place a foot in any
other music store, find in these very
stores pianos actually good enough TO
| play on. Selah.
Mr.. Wilbur Force. the accomplished
violnist, is very i'll at his home with
| the grip.
