Union Republican Club Disposes
of the Trouble.
is GOING TO ST. LOUIS
AT Lust Nights Meeting 1t Was De-
cided to Allow All W ho Wished to
Resign-An Excursion Planned and
Arrangements Made to Attend the
Convention.

The Union Republican Club met last night
and disposed OF the case OF these gentlemen
who have resigned from the organization.
The club was largely represented aud the
action was unanimous.
On motion OF Mr.. Rcbb 1t was resolved
that all those members In good standing
on the books aud who have signified their
intention TO withdraw be allowed TO 60 so
and that those who desire TO return To
the membership be permitted TO do so.
The list Of those who rave re signed was
read by the secretary. IL contained llity-
one names, instead of live hundred and
eleven, as published in one OF the city
papers. The statement was made 10 the
club that of the fifty one, ten were IN
de ebted 10 the club and that SIX mad ex-
pressed u desire to return to the old aile-
glance.
Inc railroad committee reported that the
club had decided to so 10 the National
Convention on June 16.
PLANNED AN EXCURSION.
The club discussed the giving OF an ex-
cursion dow the Potomac, the idea being
generally indorstd. a committee to make
the arrangements was appointed by Pres
idcnt LASER, consisting OF Mcssrs- Ellls,
Wikc. Gibson, Martin ana secreIary EN-
ery. The excursion will be given about the
10th of May.
The question of the finances of the club
then came up aud was discussed. A mo-
ton was made by Mr.. Slggers that the
Indebtedness of delinquent members be
referred TO the finance committee, which
was adopted. The collection Of the iG-
dcbtedness of some members, ali OF which
is considered good" will put the club on
its feet without having TO resort TO unusual
methods.
The attendance last night was an evidence
that the Union Republican Club intends to
hoIdits organization with very large MEM
bership.
COMMITTEE VACANCIES.
The excursion being one of the first of
| the season will undoubtedly be big sue
cess.
Owing to the withdrawal OF the thirty
five or forty members vacancies have peen
made In several committees. The president
announced that he would fill these yacan-
cies and announce them IN the newspa pers.
The general sentiment last night was that
the club could dispense with members who
wouldn't pay their dues. or who. for any
reason. were out of touch with the consti-
| tuition of the organization.
The president. in response to calls. wound
up the meeting with speech, recfting
| the objects of the club. and congratula ting
the club on the bright prospects of the
party to which it belonged and which it
was formed to assist.

"ELLJAH" SUPERBLY SUNG.
-horal society,s Rendltton OF the ora.

Choral SOciety's Rendition of the Ora
torio Pleased Large Audience.
The Choral Society last night at Allen S
Grand Opera House gave their last concert
OF the season. An audience that filled
the theater in large part was in attendance
and evidenced great pleasure in frequent
applause, which was bestowed discreetly,
but heartily.
The society had promise that the Bal
timore Symphony Orchestra would assist
at this concert but the only accom- pa uiment
was Prof. John Porter Lawrence, at the
piano. Mr. d. e. Pfeiffer at the organ, and
obIipatos by Mr.. Charles ii. Thierbach
on the violoncello. The reason of the
disa ppointment, which was evidently as
mucn a regret to the society as TO the
audience, was set out at length IN an
explanation in the program.
In substance it was that the result
of the first two concerts left the society
in debt, that the financial support extended
as swasanticipate ted. and the board ofdirectors
was compelled to face the question of q
very large deficit unless the concert were
given without orchestra. They Were not
willing to give up the concert, feeling that
good faith TO the subscribers demanded
Iiiat IL should be given in as artistic a
manner as possible consistent with finan-
cial necessities.
1t is easily seen that they did what was
eminently reasonable and just under the
circumstances. =
The subject of last nights work was
Mendelssohn's immortal ora torio ELI Jah, -
which. by the way, was first sung just
fifty years ago. The Choral Society did
it excellent justice and were creditaDle to
themselves and TO their efficient and PAINS
taking director, bir. Fl. c. Sherman.
An admirable quartet of soioists was
provided in Miss Elenor Merideth, a so-
prano OF pure nd sustained voice: Mr.. David
g. Henderson, whose tenor in fluent sweet
ness seem ed almost Incompatible; the
eminent baritone, Mr.. Ericsson Bushnell,
and Mrs. Fessenden, contralto. A trio
of ladies, whose names were not given
prominence. sang one of the most ttract
portions of the oratorio, Lift Thine Eyes, -
and they sang it exquisiteiy to the delight
OF artists and audience.
The quartet singing of Mrs. ShircIiff,
Miss Mccullough. Miss Stidham, and Miss
Sfnlonds, of the Philharmonic Quartet,
and Messrs.. Mcfarland Reside, Turmn,
and Ryan. of the Apollo, was an attractive
feature of the evening. A double quartet
For He Shall Give His Angels Charge
Over Thee was admirably done The
Choral Society did themselves and Wash
ington credit. and their friends are very
proud OF them.
