inserted advertisements in the papers

IMMORAL CHURCH CHOIRS.
A Sensational Speech Before the
Society of Purists.

A new society was organized in New
Boston last night. 1t is called the So
cietv of Purists, and has for its purpose
the advancement of literature among its
members and free debate. T. n. Wal
ford was elected president, Mrs. M. w.
Penfield secretary and B. Arthur Holt
treasurer. Among those present was
Rev. w. +. Turner, of Windsor, Can,
who is in the city on visit to relatives.
He was asked to speak, and created
quite a Juror by asserting that the aver
age paid choir was dangerously I'M
moral element in the church. He
claimed that members OF fash
ionable church choirs were near
ly all professionals, hired Tor
their work, and that their
performances we're merely mercenary
shows like those of the operate stage.
He further asserted that this was vio
lation of the fundamental spirit of the
Christian religion, inaSmuch AS even
song when introduced into worship, was
intended to a deyOut portion OF the
worship, and not mere attraction TO
tickle the ear and attract patronage to
the church.
He adduced cases in which gross
scandals had originated in church
choirs, gave names of men and women
singers who had figured i'll divorce
courts. and painted out two curious in
stances, in which Hebrew and pro-
claimed atheist respectively were paid
salaries for singing Christian services.
The atheist he showed added to his in
come by writing articles and making
lectures attacking Christianity, while
the Hebrew was regular attendant at
the synagogneS and conformer in the
practices OF his faith.

MISS wARENDoRPH's DEBUT.
She Captures the Audience With
Her Sweet Singing.

She Captures the Audience With
Her Sweet Singing.
The benefit concert at the Lyceum
last night was o success in every par
ticular,.and Miss Abbie WarGndorph,
the young debutante. more than met
with the expectations of her many
friends. The theater was well filled,
and the audience was fashionable az
we'll as artistic one. The programme
was excellent. and, aside from Miss
Warendorph's numbers, consisted of v0-
cal selections by the Cecilian quartette,
piano solos by Prof. Gustavus Johnson
and flute ObligatO by Charles Free
man. But the interest all conferred
about the de6utante, whose efforts were
rewarded by floral gifts and the most
enthusiastic applause. Miss Warendorph
certainly has future before her as a
singer. Her voice is a soprano OF re-
markable cearness and the artistic
manner in which she handles it demon
stFates that she has been under the
tutelage of capable teachers. She was
triflle nervous during her first num-
her, the scene, aria and finale of La
SOnambula, but the audience was appre-
ciative. and 1t was not long before
she recovered her eQuanimity. With
the disappearance of her timidity, her
voice poured forth, mellow. clear and
sweet as flute. Her execution is adj
mrable, better by far than has been
shown here by any artist for a long
time, and the manner III which she clips
off the upper notes is artistic in every
sense of the word. She was encOred
after each number, and responded TO
the first by singing song in her native
tongue-Norwegian. Miss Warendorph
is to be congratulated on the success
she achieved last night, and she will no
doubt rise in the profession nature has
so admirably fitted her for.

Goldman Still Missing.

Young Goldman, the love-lorn clerk
who disappeared over a week ago, is
still among the missing. His parents
have decided that he threw himself into
Lake Harriet, and yesterday a gang of
fifteen men set to work dragging the
water. 1t will be remembered that
Goldwin was very much in love with
young lady III Brazil, Ind, who spurned
his fervid passion. and i'll mt of des-
peration he left the Palace Clothing
House, where he was employed. and
went to Lake Harriet to take ride in
boat.
He was never seen afterward, but his
coat and hat were found floating on the
lake the next day. 1t is not believed
that he committed suicide, but those
who are intimately acquainted with him
think he threw his coat and hat into the
water to create a sensation and cause
his inamOrata to relent.

THE HUMBLEDALs.
Both Husband and Wife Fight for
seJ aDiVOrce. "rs

The family troubles of the Humble
dals,in the shape of divorce suit,
brought by both husband and wife
against one another, were aired in
Judge Hooker's court yesterday. The
Hunbledals. Harold and Mary, were
married at Minneapolis early in 1888.
For a time all things went well with
their matrimonial venture and two
children were born to them. Then
came; series of family Squab-
bles. The husband grew Jealous of
his--wife and things went awry.
Finally both determined to go for
divorce. Mrs. Humbledal fled a COM
plaint charging cruel and inhuman
treatment, and Mr.. Humbledal rested
his plea OH adultery, charging his wife
with having committed that otfense
with Charles Dalstrom away back in
1884. The matter created good deal
of interest among the friends and neigh
bors of the principals, and a score or
more ladies were spectators at the trial.
By consent of both parties the cases
were heard conformity. Each side tried
its utmost to secure the victory and
brought up no end of witnesses to prove
its case. Judge Hooker eventually de-
cided that Mrs. Humbledal had the best
of the testimony, and granted her de-.
cree accOruinglV.

DRUMMER'S WOES
Told in Case on Trial in the Dis
trict Court.


The troubles of travelling man
while ION the road" were. disclosed in
the district court yesterday during the
trial of the case of LuciuS E. Glynn
against the Burlington railroad. Mr..
Glenn sues to recover $1,000 damages
for being put off the train at Rio, ILL.,,
last October. The plaintiff represents
E. c. Best. and was travelling to Gales
burgh, H., on mileage book made out
in the name OF his employer, On getting
aboard the train at Minneapolis, Glynn
duly presented the mileage, signed the
name of E. &. Best" and was given an
exchange ticket in return, with dlrec-
tons to change at Rio. He did so. but
the conductor of the connecting train
would not honor his ticket, and Mr..
Glynn found himself on the track
twelve miles short of his destination.
Horsef1esh in that part of the country
was Just at that moment not to be had
for love or money. and there was moth
ing left for him to do but to count ties
to Galesburg. This Mr. Glynn
did, pulling into the town in a
very sorry condition. His feet, he said,
were covered with blisters, he was
drenched to the skin. owing to being
caught in thunder storm when half
way on mis- journey; the muscles of his
right thigh were badly strained, and he
was lame all over. Added to this. he
contracted a severe attack of rheuma-
tism, and for three months was unable
to lift his lett arm to his head. After
Glynn's testimony technical point was
put forward by the attorney for the de-
tense. A motion was made to dismiss the
case on the ground of fraud on Glynn's
mort i'm riding IN another mans ticket
This was denied by Judge C4nty. who
held that it had not been shown the
company itself was not party to the
fraud. The ticket had been accepted
and the company had failed to show
that the conductor did not know that
Glynn was not Best. The assumption.
therefore, was that they knew he was
not Best, and by accepting the ticket
became party to the contract.
