ADJUSTMENTS.


Wednesday nights the Choral Society will
give Gounod's oratorio Of 1.-The Redemp-
ton" at the Congregational Church. The
music of this is melodious, as might be ex-
pected from the composer of Faust" and
as this will be the first time it has been
given in this city great interest is excited
in musical circles in regard to it. The fact
that all the soloists are local singers will
add to the attractiveness of the perform
ance. The Choral Society has given two
performances this season-'St. Paul. and
the "Messiah'-both of which nave been re-
markedly successful, and it is expected
that the coming representations will be the
best in the history of the society. Prof
Kaspar. the musical director, has paid
great attention both to soloists and chorus,
and excellent work is expected. The sale
of seats at Droop's music store indicates
good attendance on both nights. The
soloiStS for Tuesday evening are Miss Mary
Helen Howe, Miss Blanche r. Mattingly,
Miss Mamie Donnelly, Miss Maria L. Mad
dren, Miss Blanche L. Rueckert, Miss May
