SNOW AT LAST.
But Some Danger That 1t May End in
Rain.

A Wild Opening-Many Wires Down-An
Exposed Live Wire Makes sensa.
tion-Happy Lumbermen and Wood
| Choppers.
The storm opened rather suddenly yes,
terday afternoon, although it had been
very thick outside all the morning with
every evidence of heavy sea. The sDow
was wet and heavy, and for while there
was considerable wind, but that died
down and good solid foundation was
laid for the snow that all hope to see in a
short time.
Advioes from many Grand Trunk
points between Portland and Island
Pond last evening showed that while
more snow is greatly needed, enough fell
during the afternoon and evening to
make it evident that the great cut of
wood will be got out to the railroad, and
much of the out Of lumber also.
For several hours the snow fell almost
all the time, and unless it turns to rain
today much good will result. Tho. Toe
and lumber people are earnestly hoping
that if somewhat deferred, the winter will
prove satisfactory both as to its length
and the depth o the snow.
In this city the fall of snow was
enough to show practically the almost
perfection of the Portland electric sys-
tenn. The snow pillow was put on and in
short time the track was practically all
right, but the Portland and Cape Eliza
beth line had far worse luck. for their
track was hard to manage, and their
snow pillow was supplemented by the la
Dor of gang of men, especially at the
crossings.
There was something of a scare on
Congress street when wire near the
head of Centre street burned out with a
cracking noise. and fell to the ground.
"Live wire, look out' shouted a young
man and his advice was TAKEN The
crowd Cooked out but it was not In
any sense a olive" wire when 1t burned
out and fell.
patrolman Frank Merrill sent to the
electric light station and the wire was
promptly repaired.
There We're many minor accidents re-
sulting from snow slides during the ev-
ening and those who were forced to be on
the street had abundant cause for con-
slant watcnfulness. 1t was bad night
but keeping in mind the poor condition
of the rof d. to the city and the bad
| effect on business due to a lack of snow,
made people say as did one Commercial
street merchant when q snow slide took
off his hat ~ like this only I wish there
was more OF it. -
The storm made the telegraph wires
work slowly and with some difficulty.

Brunswiok, Jan. 23-Mrs. Florence
Lee Whitman gave recital of German
songs last evening before large audience
in Memorial hall. Mr.. Harvey Murray
of Portland, accompanied the songs in a
most artistic manner and was loudly ap-
plauded frequently. This is the second
of O series of German songs which Mrs.
Whitman is giving. The selections for
last evening were taken from the best
known songs of Schubert, Sohumann,
and Franz. The first of the recitals given
last week comprised the old German folk
songs such as the Sorely and selections
from Bach. There is much interest mani
tested here in these recitals and it is of
great benefit to the students aud raorIa
OF Brunswick to hear these g ms Of music
rendered by such an authority uA at,
subject as Mrs. Whitman, who is fortu-
nate indeed in having Mr.. Murray for
her accompan ist. The third recital will
be given in a fortnight and will comprise
selections from more modern composers
as Beethoven, List and Wagner

for that-but because we may sing with
st. Paul, salvation unto God.
Some will say we don't like these vest
ed choirs, or some will say, we cannot
join in, we can't sing. Yes, you can, my
brethren. A dear old lady 80 years old
used to say to me: 81 can't sing ow,
but when I get to Paradise can sing
as well as anybody" She sung with her
heart-and so We can all join and sing
with the heart, if not with the voice, the
praises of our King.
The speaker told several anecdotes to
emphasize his points and gave an elo-
quent and touching description of the
beautiful music in Westminster Abbey.
He closed with the impressive words
from Revelation describing the wor-
ship of the four and twenty elders before
the throne.
Following the address came perhaps
the most ambitious effort of the eve
ming. the anthem, Praise the Lord o
Jerusalem" by E. V. Hall. This was
splendidly given, the choruses being
strong and well attacked, and the bass
and tenor passages being especially we'll
given. The anthem works up into an
arrang sment of cold Hundred" at the
close, and as the organ. brasses and two
hundred voices, burst into unison strains
of the grand old hymn of praise, familiar
to everyone, the effect was simply in
spring. During the anthem tenor
solo, :" He Maketh Peace In Thy Borders''
was exc uisitely rendered by Mr.. George
ii. Griffin. who was in excellent voice
and rendered the passage with good
spirit and the finest shading.
The stirring old hymn "Now Thank
We All Our God" was sung by ohoirs
and congregation in way that made
the rafters of the big Cathedral ring
and fairly lifted one of his feet.
Stainer's '.SevenfoA Amen" followed
the benediction and then ''Te Deum''
by Woodward was given a spirited rem
dering.
The occasional "On Our Way Re joie-
ing," was fitting ending to the splen-
did service, and as the last chorister
disappeared through the chapel door 1t
was the regret of everyone that the pro.
gramme was ended.
The service OH the whole was remark
able. When the high and difficult char
acter of the music is considered, with the
fact that most of the singers are young
boys under 10 years of age, and the added
fact that the combined choirs had only
one rehearsal together. the results at
tanned are little short of marvellous.
There is no voice so sweet as a boy s
voice and there is no music sweeter than
church music when properly rendered by
10y choir, and last nights festival de-
monstrated what can be accomplished
under competent instruction. The man
to whom the credit for this splendid SER

vice is due, is Mr.. W.. H. Carter, the
choirmaster of the cathedral, who is not
only an acc omplished musician, tho
roughly posted on what constitutes good
church music, but tireless worker. to
attain the best results with the ma
terial he has. 1t is no small undertaking
to perfect such a service as that rendered
last night and Mr.. Carter must have felt
gratified at the success of his efforts.
We should not forget to mention the
accomplishments so artistically played
by that accomplished organist, Mr.
Sanglier.
The visiting choirs wero entertained
at supper by the ladies at st. Luke's
parish house.
The quintette of brass instruments
added greatly to. the effectiveness of the
occasion.
st. Luke's never looked more attractive
than it did last evening.
Most of the choirs LETT for home on the

between here and Boston the service if
slow was tolerably good all the evening
and later showed signs of Improvement

note showing that the linemen were at
work and that the lines would be albright
in few hours. The storm to the east
was very heavy
What will result from the fearfully
chick weather off the coast remains to be
seen. The captains of fishermen reported
yesterday that the thick vapor previous
~ reported as being one of tie great
troubles OF. the grounds was rapidly
rolling in and they insisted in predicting
an extremely bad night off the coast
. Unless the old sailors are very much
mistaken later reports will show disasters
along the shore. The wide spread of the
storm Is perhaps sufficiently demonstrated
by the fact that SO few details have so far
been received,
Many wires are down and the telephone
service was somewhat interrupted last
evening and still more so durings the
night. haa.a
Trains were generally late all last even
ing. The II O'Clock train from Boston
was thirty minutes and the O'Clock on
the Grand Trunk was ten minutes late.
The Maine Central trains SO few as re-
ported were practically on time.
There was one pathetic almost piteous
feature OF the storm here. Six tramps
wet AS drowned out rats walked into the
police station an d asked for a bed. They
were tired and foot sore and the most
thoroughly depressed and generally sad
looking set of mortals Imaginable. They
eagerly accepted the crackers Mr.. Emery
passed out to them and found the hard
benches much better and more pleasant
than the storm outside. The storm was
too much for even the philosophy of the
Mark Lapley's of the road and they even
INDUCED in some reflections concerning
the probable discomfort of the morning.
Your true tramp seldom takes thought
of the morrow" but storm like that of
last.night, mixed snow and rain Is some
thing entirely out of his calculations.

One of the musical gems of the eve
ming was the anthem Blessed are They
that Dwell In Thy House, by Tours
The anthem itself is beautiful melody,
ana the shading and tone of the choirs
was very excellent. The piano passages
done by the st. Lukes choir. were ex-
quisite. .
Stainer's sweet hymn "The Saints OF
God, was next sung.
MR.. PATTISoN'S ADDRESS.
Then Rev. George H. Pattison of New
port, entered the pulpit and delivered
very brief. but very eloquent discourse
on the lessons to be drawn from su oh
services as that being rendered. Mr..
Pattison made All earnest plea for good,
ohurchly, artistic music as a help to
perfect Christianity. He took his text
from st. Johns description of the heav-
emily choirs, which the speaker said, were
continually singing and praising the
eternal God.
Those Saints of God their conflict past,
And llfe's long battle won at last,
NJ mOre tn0y n66p the SnlelQ or sword,
They cast them down before their Lord.
o happy saints ! forever blest,
At Jesus feet how safe your rest!
There are two phases of the Christian
life, Mr.. Pattison said, that Of prayer
and praise. Prayer, in which we ask for
something we haven't got and which God
alone can grant Then praise, when we
are come to closer fellowship with
God and we are entitled to stand in His
presence and praise Him.
Some one will ask. "What do you mean
by such service as this?" We mean
the worship Of Almighty God. Such ser
vice is not for our pleasure merely. Not
merely to attract people, but service of
uplifted praise to God in it's best, truest
and noblest sense. Everything in its
own orders music as well as other things
Not because it tickles the ear merely
we, may enjoy it, and God be thanked

the service, Mr.. George +. Sanglier gave
delightful recital upon the new organ
At precisely O'Clock the doors of the
chapel opened and to the beautiful strains

especially for this occasion, the long pro-
cession entered the church. At the head
was the cross bearer of the Cathedral
choir, next two oornstists, and then fol-
lowed the choirs of Portland, Gardiner,
Bath, Auburn. Lewiston, Waterville
and Brunswick, and then the rectors Of
the churches named, the clergy of the
cathedral, Rev. George FL. Pattison of
Newport, R. l., and the bishop of Maine.
At the head Of the each choir was a
horister with banner. As the entire
line of singers moved down the full
length of the cathedral and up to the
broad aisle of the chanoel, it presented
an imposing spectacle. The cathedral
choir and clergy entered the chancel
proper and the choirs formed on a raised
platform on the outside In the centre
of all was Mr.. W. H. Carter, the direc-
tor of the occasion.
The service outside Of the music, was
very brief, consisting of two brief lessons
and few prayers. The service was fully
choral. according to the latest form Of
the American church. The entire order
of service was published in book form
and was in the hands of most of the
members of the congregation.
