"THE HYMN OF PRAISE
Mende1ssOhn's Camtata to BE Given
by the Choral Society.

unquestionably one OF the most attrac-
| tive programs offered by the Choral Society
in years will be rendered at the next con-
cert, which is announced for Monday and
tuesday evenings next at the First Con-
gregational Church. corner of 10th and G
streets northwest. The chief feature of
the program is Mendelssohn's Hymn of
Praise, an oratorio somewhat shorter than
most works Of this class, but of great
beauty and interest. II was written for
the celebration of the 4o0th anniversary of
the invention Of printing, which was cele-
brated at Leipzig in June. 1870. and the
rendition OF the work on that occasion was
conducted by the composer himself Parts
OF this charming composition are We'll
KNOWN to most musical people. notably the
auet Tor two sopranos, Il waited for the
LORD. which in the oratorio is sung with
full chorus accompaniment producing a
novel effect. The same melody is frequently
used as four-part hymn tune. sometimes
as an organ solo, and again as a soprano
solo with chorus.
The solo parts in the oratorio will he
sung by Camille Seygard. Mrs II. c.
Browning and Evan Williams. Miss Sey-
gard is Belgian by BIRTH but perfectly
familiar with the English language. She
made her first American appearance last
fall with the Symphony Society of New
YORK, and has sung during the winter
with many of the great oratorio societies
of the east. her work always earning for
her the most unstinted praise. Without
doubt. Miss Seygard ranks with the finest
concert artists now before the public.
or Mrs. Browning ana her singing little
nee DIS TO be said: she will sing one of the
sopraro parts IN the Hymn of Praise
and Will be heard in solo work also, and
VIII without doubt maintain the nigh po-
sition she occupies in the estimation OF
the public.
Mr.. IL. Evan Williams. the tenor, is one
OF the chief attractions: he has been sing
ing only about five years and only within
the past two years has his greatest
achlevements been attained. Last fall at
the Worcester festival he created furore
such as has seldom been witnessed at these
concerts by his wonderful singing of the
CuJus Amman. from Rcssini's ''S.abat
Mater. In addition to singing the tenor
role in the Hymn of Praise Mr. Will
iiams will sing the "Cujus Amman" In
the miscellaneous part of the program. Ca
mile Seygard will be heard in Massenet's
aria, II est doux,' from his opera of
'Herodiade." and Mrs. Browning will sing
the great Mad Scene from Hamlet" Prof
John Porter Lawrence will accompany the
society with the great organ and the whole
performance will be under the direction of
Mr.. Josef Kaspar.

Lyman j. Gage ON Practical Educa-
f1nn

When Mr.. Gage was treasurer of the
Worlds Congress Auxiliary he addressed
the business section Of the Worlds Con-
gress Of Education upon the relation of
business education to the work of the
world. He said he had originally thought
business training could be acquired by
absorption. but after various attempts to
establish himself in early years he conclud-
ed to take straight business college
course and put himself under the training
OF Mr.. Robert c. Spencer. then connected
with Chicago college, and thus became
acquainted with the science Of business.
Ard the great Chicago banker turned to
Mr.. Spencer, who was presiding over this
section OF the congress. with an eloquent
look of gratitude
Continuing. he said. young women also
are very apt to undertake office work and
other enterprises with superficial training
or no training. There should be a thor
ough English training for a foundation
and broad and comprehensive business
course for superstructure.

Loyal to the King.
we know that our old Georgetonians
were thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement Of resistance to British tyranny,
and that the town furnished men and stores
to the armies of Washington and Lee. The
writer has a letter written by a member
OF one OF the Maryland companies which
passed through Georgetown to join Lafay-
ette at Yorktown, and which tells "of the
kind and friendly treatment we received at
Geo Town."
The close Of the revolutionary war found
Georgetown with a population of about
l.5oO souls, and in the state of MARYLAND
instead OF the province. But she was not
in the same county, for in 1852 she was a
part of Frederick She was now in Mont
gomery county. On the 3Oth of March,

the requisition before the governor to-
day, and Bartons attorneys were on
hand to protest against the granting of
the reGuisition. The governor, how
ever, was too busy with legislative mat
tiers TO give the hearing. so Pardon
Clerk joyce examined the papers and
advised the governor that the afIidavits
on which the request for the reduisi-
ton was based were not strong enough
TO justify the granting Of it.
The governor acted accordingly. Mrs.
Barton, wife of one of the defendants,
was at the executive chamber.
Counsel for the governor of Utah
stated after it had been announced that
Governor Black had refused the requi-
sition that it was most unusual for the
governor of one state not to give hear
ing on a reCuisition of another gov
ernor. even if he had decided to refuse
the reQuisition. 1t was especially IN
usual in this case. because the governor
of Utah had made a personal appeal

Additional Developments.

Chicago, May 1S.-Additicnal de-
velopments in the murder mystery sur
rounding the death of Mrs. Louis Luet-
CERT. the sausage manufacturers wife,
have led to the belief that if Luetgert
killed her he did so without any help.
There will be no attempt to find any
accomDliceS or make any further ar
rests. Another witness was found to-
day who is said to have told the officers
he heard screams coming from the
sausage factory the night she is be-
lieVed to have been killed.
Work is going on in the big factory
building and the surrounding lot TO
find any traces of the crime that is he
lieved 10 have occurred there. The
police have out. several detectives at
work in the basement and on the first
floor OF the structure where the watts
are situated, in one of which Mrs.
Luetgert's body is supposed to have
been destroyed.
AS result of their search today
the police claim to have discovered a
biood-stained chisel in Leuttgert's
sleeping room in the factory.
A piece of dress goods. partly eaten
by acid. was found in the vat adioin-
ing the one in which Mrs. Leuttgert's
wedding ring was found.
About half way between the watts
and furnace was discovered what is
firmly believed to be a small portion
of the woman's BODY.
Near the vat in which Mrs. Leutt-
gert's body is supposed to have been
consumed were found pieces of bur
laps partly destroyed by acid. Leutt-
CERT was arraigned in court today. At
the request of the states attorney a
continuance was granted for five days
to give the police time in which to
finish their quest for evidence of the
murder. The court refused to release
Leuttgert on bail, and he was taken
to the county Jail.
