was generally supposed that during
years of prosperity there were more
marriages. but nowadays the working
classes had higher standard Of COM

they were less inclined to make i'm

been an alteration in the manners and

Ever old, yet ever new, the stories of

fearless cavalryman, Forrest, and the
story Of his remarkable career will be

coming intimately acquainted with For

CHORAL ASSOCIATIONS CONCERN.
1t Was an Interesting and Successful
Event from Every Point of View.


The concert of the German-American
Choral Association. which took place at
Sanger Hall last night, proved to be one
of the most interesting musical events
which have so far taken place this sea-
son. There was a large and fashionable
audience present, and the many charm
ing numbers of the programme were re-
ceived with enthusiasm. Prominent
among the features was the singing Of
the Choral Society. The choral opening
was sung with admirable precision, and
an excellent rendering was given Of the
chorus, Happy and Blest are They"
The HaIlelujah chorus, with which the
concert closed. was also interpreted with
much spirit. The association, indeed,
displayed much natural ability, allied
with good training.
Director Mutter's admirable Festival
chorus was played by the jefferson Or
chestra in a delightfully."- crisp style. as
also was the concert overture from Bach.
The chorus is broad, dignifed, and sono-
rous and well deserved the hearty ap-
plause II received.
The solo vocalists were Mrs Walter G.
Mercer and Mrs. Nellie Sweeney Palmer,
Captain Frank Cunningham. Mr.. II. c.
Rueger, and Mr.. IL. T. CardoZo. and all
acquitted themselves with distinction.
Miss Rosale Held displayed considerable
dramatic talent in two recitations.
