The German population of San Francisco

Tie large body of singers, in conjunc-
tion with the Vienna Prater orchestra,
produced splendid volume of sound. and
even when they sang unaccompanied
chOraes the effect was very tne. Under
the clever conducting OF Professor Franz
Fischer the big chorus was kept we'll in
check, the shading ia some of the numbers
being really remarkable; and every con-
ductOr knows the great difficulty of induc-
ing a large mass of singers to give any
piano passages. In the fuil-Dlown cres-
cendos the tenors might with advantage
have restrained their ardor little. but on
the whole the body OF sound was strik-
ingly we'll balanced.
The choral numb bers were MoZarts 30
Isis" accompanied by the orchestral; au
unaccompanied "Chor a Capella." "Os-
sian," ia which the pitch was we'll sus-
tanned; two Volkslieder, and Mendels-
s0hn's "Festgesang an die kuenstler,"
for chorus and orchestra.
Great applause was bestowed upon the
singers, and also upon several orchestral
nun bers rendered under the direction Of
Herr Scheel.

DR.. Bristol has long been identified with
the Northwestern University at Evanston,
this being the largest Methodist university
in the United States. he is widely known
as a thinker and scholar, and is not only a
pleasant but forcible speaker.
From the present outlook the Religious
Congress will be one of the most success
full and largely attended of the general
series known as the Midwinter Fair con-
crosses. While the SCOPE of this par iculas
congress is by no means as broad as the
Worlds Parliament of Religion at Chi

purpose.

THE wHALE-BACK SHIP,
A Naval Board VIII Report ON Their
Use I'm the Navy.

The naval board considering the availa-
bility Of whale-back ships for purposes of
naval warfare has practically concluded
Its investigations, and will probably sub
nit Its report to the Secretary of the Navy
in few days. The composition Of the
board has already been given by The Star.
1t is said that Secretary Herbert favors in
a general way the construction of naval
vessels on the whale-back principle. and
that he may possibly recommend to Con-
future ships of light draught- He has no.
its details. and will not act until he has
done so. The plans before the department
were recently submitted by Capt. Alex.
McDougall of West Superior, Wis. That
gentleman has had several conferences
with Secretary Herbert on the advisabilty
of constructing a man-of-war of the whale
back principle or remodeling one of the
old ships for use on the great lakes.
Capt. McDougall has also conferred with
the committee having the matter in charge.
The idea of using the whale-bac,s form of
vessel for war purposes is not new. 1t has
been one of the inventors hobbies since the
first whale-back freighter was placed I'm
successful operation, though the plan has
never been laid before the Washington Of
ficials till now. The nature of Capt Nc
Dougall'S proposition is to construct one or
more merchant vessels of the whale-back
design and equip them with armor and
guns, the vessels to ply upon the lakes as
common freighters under subsidy Of the
United States government.

There is an object lesson for prohibition
lists at Atchison almost as famous as Stormy

NO Attempt mt COnceaIment.
There Is no longer any attempt at con-
cealment at Atchison. Within the past
two or three months the saloons and joints
nave moved downstairs and opened up
business on the ground floor, as in Leaven-
worth, Wichita, Arkansas City, Kansas
City and Pittsburg. The stranger in Atchi-
