which spring up in the heart OF the
mountains without moments warning
fell upon me. In less than no time it

to turn about and ask for shelter at

A coLoRED BOY CHOIR.

A Very MclOdious One in Surpliccs at st.
Philips Church.
New York boasts of the largest sur
pliced colored boy choir in the United
States, and, so far as is known, in the
world. Such choirs are not numerous,
and are to be found only in large cities.
There are two in New York-one belong.
ing to a Roman Catholic and the other
to a Protestant Episcopal church. The
latter is the one here meant, and as the
music of the Episcopal is so different
from that of the Roman Catholic church
no comparison between the two can be
drawn.
st. Philips church in West Twenty
fifth street, between Sixth and Seventh
avenues, is one of the oldest colored
congregations in America. The present
building is al ordinary affair of brick
and was once used by M%ethodists. Up
to a few months ago the music at st.
Philips was furnished by IN ordinary
mixed choir of colored singers. Some
months before Easter it was decided to
change to a boy choir, such as are to be
found in Trinity, st. Agnes, st. An
drews' and other more or less "high"
churches in the city. The present Or
ganist, Mr.. L. B. Kinney, was engaged
to organize the choir, and the first serv-
ices under the new order of things We're
heard OIL Easter Sunday. Mr.. Kinney,
however, found the task of organiza-
ton a difficult one. He discovered that,
SO far as the constant desire to have fun
and play pranks with one another was
concerned, there was not much differ
ence between colored and white boys.
And as the choir consisted of thirty
boys, in addition to twenty men, he had
to keep his eyes open. In time the
youngsters began to submit fairly we'll
to discipline and are now quite tracta-
BILE. Of course there was no trouble
with the men.
The colored race is essentially musical,
both in ear and voice, and this fact has
caused the choir of St. Philips to be
reckoned among the best boy choirs in
the city. Once the youngsters are in
terested they enter upon the work with
an earnestness that would put many a
white boy to the blush. In the choir
there are several remarkably good SO.
prano voices. Two little colored chaps,

ton, are regarded as especially fine. and
to them most of the solos are given. The
ages of the boys range from nine to six.
teen years.
Mr.. Kinney says that as far as hi
knows he is the only white person con

WHY does not South Dakota
enact a law like that of North Da-
kota, making it compulsory for
cattlemen to register their brands
with the secretary of state instead
of with the registers of the sever

men are advocating the enactment
of a law similar to the one in our

and saves much annoyance and

growth has been marvellous; for, al
though the Doctor had no thought be-
You'd his own young peoples needs,
the inspiration of the movement, born
of God, soon took Il deep root in other
churches. Now there are societies in
all parts Of the world, with Il member
ship of over one million four hundred
thousand. Last year over II thou

rious churches, while one.third of the
associate membership became active.
OF affiliated societies there are now
two, the Honorary, including a large
proportion of the older members of

the children.
We rejoice that our friends have
thus marked an epoch in the history
