THE CHORAL SOCIETY.

Its Annual Election Of DIrcctors-Some
of the Plans for Next Senson.
An annual meeting of the Choral Society
was held last night at the society's rooms
in Typographical Temple THE principal bus
mess transacted being the election of eight
members to fill vacancies in the board Of
directors. There was a large attendance
as the meeting was the final one Of this
season, and reports of the years work
were received, 1t was extremely gratify-
ing to the society to know that the treas
ury shows balance on the right side of the
ledger and next seasons work will be en-
tered into unhampered by any hold-over
burdens Of accounts unpaid.
Eight vacancies in the board of directors
existed, caused by the resignation of MIR.
Eugene Z. Stevens and the expiration of
the terms of seven other members of the
board. heavy vote was polled, with the
result that the following members were
elected: Miss Amy c. Leavitt Miss NJ. E.
Cunningham. Miss Louise Boone. Norman
II. Camp. H. NJ. Paul, d. G. Pfeiffer John
II. Seiffert and Charles A. Lee. Mr.. Lee
and Miss Boone are new members of the
board. The others secured reelection, Miss
Leavttt with a unanimous vote.
A meeting of the board will be held early
In May, when officers will be elected and
plans formulated for next seasons work
1t is expected that the oratorio of "The
Messiah" which. as is customary. will be
given during the Christmas holidays, will
be the first performance by the society next
winter. Samson and Delilah," which the
society has been rehearsing for some weeks
past will also be given, and just after the
Lenten season it is proposed to sing
"Elijah."
The annual excursion Of the society to
Marshall Hall will be given this year
June %.
The new board of directors will endeavor
to carry out the project which has been
cherished 4 long time-the erection of an
oratorio hall, with suitable organ where
the society can give its performances un-
der more favorable circumstances than has
heretofore been possible. A plan is in con-
temptation which will render the erection
of such hall not only desirable, but en-
tirely feasible, and it is not improbable that
next season viii see taken the first active
steps for the realization of this project.
The board of directors will take into con-
sideration the question of giving oratorios
on Sunday night. In other cities this is
successfully done. for oratorio is the high
est form of sacred music, and THE Mes
siah," Elijah" st Paul. The Creation"
and other works of that character preach
as effective n sermon as was ever uttered
from pulpit. Until hall can be erected
suitable for the uses of the society, 1t may
he that it will he compelled TO give its con-
certs on Sunday nights utilizing the Grand
Opera House for that purpose. OF course,
this building could be obtained on no other
night, and it has the only auditorium suffi-
cently large to be of advantage to the
Choral Society.

Fast Living Americans.

We new world people are fast livers,
and in nothing is this more observable
than in our reckless irregularity rs to
sleep and diet. We alternately starve
and gorge ourselves, doing each in the
most irregular and hasty manner, with
out regard to the nutritive value of
the food consumed. or the deleterious
effects upon the digestive organs or
the terrible tasks imposed upon them
at the most unreasonable hours. 1t is
little wonder we are a nation of dys-
peptics, and prone to constipation,
piles, etc, it is to their efficacy as a
remedy for those ailments that DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets owe their UNI
paralleled popularity. Good results
always follow their use in all cases of
arrangement of the liver, stomach and

AN APPARITION TOLD HIM.-John
Connors, of Derby, Conn, aged 80, got
ready to go TO bed at II o'clock Thurs
day night. Without saying anything
to his family, bare-footed and bare
headed, clad in his night clothes, he
walked six miles through foot of snow
and in a binding storm to the home of
his uncle, Michael McEnerney, at
Orange. He was found there by
searching party early next morning.
McEnerney was surprised at the APP
pearance of his nephew, and the more
so when Cennors explained the reason
of it. He said that as he was about to
get in bed an apparition appeared and
told hin Mrs. McEnerney, his aunt,
was seriously i'll, and so he had at once
started for her home. At 10 O'Clock,
an hour before Connors left Derby,
Mrs. McEnerney had stroke of paral-
ysis, which will doubtless prove fatal
Connors is confined to his bed and is
not likely to recover from the effects of
his exposure.

Here is a wild fellow in the Philadel-
phia Times at is an error to suppose
that man belongs to himself. No
man does. He belongs to his wife, or
his children, or his relations, or his
creditors, or to society in some form or
other. 1t is for their especial good and
behalf that he lives and works, and
they kindly allow him to retain per-
centage of his gains to administer to
his own pleasures or wants. He has
his body, and that is all, and even for
that he is apswerable to society. In
short, society is the master, and man
is the servant, and it is entirely as
society proves a good Or bad master,

How TO Kill q Church.

/. Absent yourself from morning SER

the rector, but let him find it out for
himself He will then probably,call by
the time YOU are well enough to go out
and spend the day. La the meantime
take every OCCASION to tell other church
people that you fear the rector is not
much of a pastor; that he has not been
to see you for weeks and all that time
you have been so miserable.
8. II times are hard, at once diminish
or withdraw your subscription, for fear
lest when you have pail for your cigars,
jewelry, etc, you may have
