out with an ivory trler, and
sometimes these samples are

oftentimes become careless

81 DO NOT KNOW
Col. lngersoll's Position Regarding
Life After Death,

An editorial I'm a Boston paper Saws.
speaking of Col Robert G. Ingersoll:
why not make public the rumor that the
brilliant orator, who has been called the
great American infidel, has been heard 10
say that perhaps he will say In public be-
fore he dies that he believes in immortal
typ.
Col lngersoll was questioned on the SUBJ
Ject later in the day, and in reply gave the
following autograph statement:
have never SAID that perhaps before /
Gle L will say in public that belleye in i'm
mortality. 4 have nothing TO conceal on
that question. L have always been perfect
ly frank and have given the transcript of
my heart and brain.
Il do not say that death ends all, neither
do L say that man is immortal: 1 say that
do not know. To know is one thing, to be-
heve is another, and to hope is still an
other-hope for all good, for all joy, for the
children of men. All 1 can say about i'm
mortality is this: There was a time when /
was not; after that 1 was. now / am, and
II may be that it is no more wonderful that
L shall continue forever. now that / have q
start than IL was that should begin.
We love. and those we love lie and we
cling TO the hope, to the wish, that we may
meet again. Love was the first to dream OF
Immortality. and as long as We love we
shall hope"

A FESTIVAL CHORUS.
A Big Project With Anton SeidI as
DfrectOr-in-Chief.

A Big Project With Anton Seidl as
Director-in-Chfef.
The excellent work done by the centen-
NAL chorus ON the occasion of the celebra-
ton Of the one hundredth anniversary of
the laying of the corner stone of the Capt.
toll was the subject of warm commendation
on the part OF every one who was lover of
music, and the hope was generally express
ed that such a fine body Of singers should
not be allowed to disintegrate. but that an
effort should be made to hold the greater
part of them in a compact organization.
The success in gathering together such a
large chorus was far greater than was an
ticipated by the general committee, and
even the members of the music committee
hardly dared hoped that the number would
exceed 1000. The securing Of over Zoo sing
ers was accomplished only by the most sys-
tematic organization and the most ener-
getic work on the part of the director in
chief and all of his assistants.
Prof. Coward, who was the director in
chief of the centennial chorus, believed that
a permanent organization should be effect
ed, but there were circumstances Just at
the close of the celebration that caused ac-
ton on the subject to be deferred. One diff
ficulty was the obtaining of an orchestra to
accompany the large chorus proposed when
ever its concerts or festivals should take
place. Washington has a number of mu-
sicians, and good ones, too, but they are
under engagement. SO that they are not
available when wanted, and there. is no
complete organization that would work in
harmony with big chorus. If the rank
and file would be willing, IL was feared that
there would be a jealousy on the part of
the leader. So il was deemed necessary to
get an orchestra from outside, and Prof
Coward has. he says, secured the co-opera-
ton of Anton Seidl, in some respects the
greatest conductor in this country, who
has agreed to take the leadership of the
proposed festival chorus and TO bring his
superb orchestra to accompany ii.
In speaking to a Star reporter the other
evening Prof Coward said: Il am going to
New York tonight to have a personal talk
with Mr.. Seidl on the subjest of the festival
chorus. His manager, with whom / con-
versed the last time l was in New York
has informed me that Mr.. Seidl will enter
heartily into the project, and when 1 get
back on Wednesday 1 will comence the
work OF organizing the chorus. More care
will be taken In the selection of voices than
was the case with the centennial chorus
and it will not be so large. My idea how
ever is to have II composed OF divisions or
sections each with an assistant director
and a set Of officers. and the whole to be
governed by a central body. to be selected
from representative citizens Of business
in promoting the success of the en-
terprise. There is no reason in the world
why there should not be an annual musical
festival in Washington that shall attract
people from all parts of the country, Just
as do the festivals at Worcester Mass,
and Cincinnati, and that is what this festi-
val chorus will aim to accomplish"
