 The Mendelssohn society has reorganized for the season of 1894-5. This is gratify- ing news, not only to the lovers of good music, but to all who feel concerned about the cultivation of our community. For years this music club has steadily gone forward, and from time to time has given evidence of a very high state of cultivation and a conscientious study of the best forms of music. Their entertainments have al- ways been of the best order, and they have ever had for themselves an elevated stand- ard of excellence. This club merits the ehviable reputation it has had for many years, and now that it is again to begin a season under most favorable conditions is a cause for congratulation to us all. With the return of better times, financially, the Mendelssohn has taken on new life and hope, and there is every prospect that the coming season will be probably the most successful and enjoyable one in its history. They held their first meeting of the season on Monday evening, at which number of old members were present, and all seemed determined to make this season great success. They have adopted the following plan in order to attain this success: They will reduce the associate mem bership fee to the small sum of two dollars for the season, which will admit the member and one other tor, in other words, two tickets to each concerD to each of the four concerts to be given during the win- ter. The membership is limited to 300 and it was decided that no public entertain ments will be given, and that admission to the concerts of the club can only be had through associate membership tickets. The probabilities are that there will be no difficulty in securing the 300 members, and it is the wish of the society that all lovers of music and those who appreciate the ef- forts now being made by them will become members of the club. The coming enter tainments give promise of being of very high order, artistically, and worth much more than the small price charged for membership. They have selected as di- rector Professor Boyce, lately of Canada, who is well equipped for the duties he has undertaken, having had wide experience in both choral and orchestral work. Un- der his leadership will be gathered nearly all of the leading instrumentalists of the city, who will lend valuable assistance to the pleasure of the entertainments. The chorus will embrace at least fifty of the best trained voices in the. city, and the programmes will be va- ried by solos, duets and quar- tettes by these good singers. There will be not less than four rare musical treats during the coming season, and it is to be hoped that the efforts now being made by the club will give an impetus to music making in our city which will prove a last ing benefit to our entire community.
 
 Unusual interest cen ters in the approach ing marriage of Miss Emma Denson Har- ris and MT. Jerome A. Tucker, which will occur on Thursday, the 18th instant, at the First Methodist church of Birmingham. Brown eyed October rarely sees so dainty and winsome bride, and one whose per- sonal worth has brought to her such true friends. She is niece of Mrs. Horace Ware, and has given to the home of Mrs. Ware much brightness and charm.
 Miss Harris has many friends in differ ent parts of Alabama and in Rome, Ga., where her early girlhood was spent, who will wish her God speed in her new life. There will be no cards of invitation issued and in all probability tho church will be crowded with friends on the 18th, when Miss Harris and MT. Tucker are united in matrimony. MT. Tucker is manager of city and is gentleman of integrity and ability. After the wedding the bridal couple will leave for brief trip south and upon their return will be at home to their friends after November at 510 Eighteenth street.
