THE MAENNERCHOR'S CONCERT
Schumann's Cantata s'PiIgrimage of
the Rose, Given.

The Maennerchor gave its first concert of
the season last evening before a large audi
ence of members and guests The society
was assisted by the Philharmonic String
Quartet of Cincinnati, which opened the
programme with an allegro moderate by
Haydn. The men comprising the quartet
are able instrumentalists and their num-
bers, which also included an "Andante Cam
table, by Tschaikowsky, and sIjebes
Traum mach dem Bale" by Czbulka. were
short and of a character to interest so
much so, in fact, that the quartet received
a vociferous recall They played an addi-
tional number. The "Liebes Traum" was as
daintily soft as if it were really only a
dream or thought and the balance sustained
was of an unusual quality. Other selections
by the quartet were '"Traumerei," by Schu-
mann, and "Forget-me-not," by Macbeth.
The Maennerchor sang les sthet cine
machtige Linde." by Pache, and closed the
programme with Die drei Roselein" The
event of the evening was the cantata, 1.-The
Pilgrimage of the Rose" This, in brief, is
the story of a rose in. garden, which de-
sired to know the love it had seen ex-
pressed by the maiden. The flower queen
finally consented to grant her desire and
gave her a rose, which so long as she kept
it would make her return to roseland The
rose transformed to a maiden, ventured
forth, was adopted by a. miller and his
wife, was loved by the foresters son, whom
she married and later baby came to show
her mother love. She placed the rose in
the hand of her baby and Immediately the
mother began 10 fade away and on account
OF her purity in life she did not become
a rose again, but was taken to heaven to
be one with the angels. The canGata is by
Schumann and is full of the melody and
harmony characteristic of the composer,
Mrs. J. p Frenzel, Mrs. Cora W. Foster
Miss Emma Fahrbach. Miss Agnes ]. Herd,
Miss Anna Showwe Mr.. Victor Jose, Mr..
Emil Steinhiber and Mr.. J. p. Frenzel were
the sooists the mixed choir sang the
chOruses and Mrs. Frank T. Edenharter was
the accompanied The whole was under
the direction of Mr.. rranz Bellinger and
the individuals responded TO every move
ment of his baton. The most melodious num-
Der is a duet in the second part sung by
Mrs. FrenZel and Mr.. Jose. and for 1t they
were literally applauded. The cantata is a
series of solos, concerted numbers and
choruses arranged with the art of a master
composer and the manner of it's singing
proved enjoyable. The work is Il song of
morning. the garden and the woods where
fairies dwell and where the flowers have
voices. More largely in German literature
are these fairylike themes, and the musical
setting by Schumann seems wonderfully APP
propriatc to the words. After the concert
there was dancing. The programmes were
souvenirs for they contained not only the
programme but the words of the eentata
in both German and English.

day in our view. Whether we wanted to or
NOT. there was a fascination in the sight
which made us watch 1t. Finally fall of
rain distinguished the fire. with the bodies
only half consumed. Then the vultures APP
peared. Hundreds of them would circle
round and round. They did not seem to care
for the men at work there. but worked with
them. Around there were about twenty
bodies in collins These were in all stages
of decomposition. The stencil from them
was horrible 1t penetrated even TO US and
mingled with the stencil of the putrid San
tiag0 bay Some bodies, without any COW
ering at all, without even the protection
OF a coffin, were scattered around the GEM
etery a prey for the vultuTeS. There were
some complaints that the presence of those
bodies in the immediate vicinity of the city
was a menace to the health of the inhab-
itants but the work of burning them there
went on day after day
In speaking of the equipment of the Span
ish soldier Mr.. Lyon mentioned the con-
struction of the canteen of the Spanish sol
der: The banboos. when full grown, are
really trees. AT the base one is probably
about six or eight inches thick, and the
joints are separated by eighteen inches or
two feet. One of these sections is taken,
the inside carefully cleaned out, strap at
tached, and then it is ready to do service
on the back of the soldier. Mr.. Lyon also
said that in Santiago every man, woman
and child more than six or seven years old
smokes long black cigars. Generally speak
ing, the child dons his first clothing at the
time he smokes his first cigarette.

TREES FOR WAR HEROES.
Arbor Day in the Schools-The Lafay-
cite Collection.

Arbor day. Bird day and LAFAYETTE day
were all combined in one yesterday by the
school children of this city and in most
cases throughout the State. According to
the original proclamation by the Governor
Lafayette day was fixed at Oct. II, but in
most cases it was thought desirable to ccm-
bne all tine days in one. 1t is the intention
of State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Geeting to advise that if the school
term will permit it all schools in the State
should hereafter observe Bird day" in the
spring.
In all the public schools collections were
taken up for the contribution to the fund
for the erection of q. monument to Lafay-
cite, to be unveiled during the exposition
at Paris in 1900 To date there has been
quite sum realized from the penny col
lections in the schools, but much more is
expected before the effort is concluded
From all accounts Arbor day was more
generally observed than on any previous
year. In addition to the tree planting it is
estimated that nearly 100000 votes were cast
by the pupils for the choice of a state
tree" Last year but sixteen thousand
votes were cast and majority of them
We're foE the maple. All the trees planted
last year, in this city survived and at pres
age. While the day was generally observed
there was no fixed programme for general
use in the schools, each one, under the
direction of its principal, arranging it's own.
AT the High School the programmes last
ed nearly the entire day. In the morning
the civil government class planted a cut
leaf maple in memory of Harry Keys, the
indianapolis boy who lost his life on the
Maine. Three of the same variety were
planted in honor of Admiral Dewey,
Norway maple in honor of Col Theodore
Roosevelt and another for General Shafter
a mountain ash was planted in memory of
Lieutenant Hobson. The second hour class
planted a cut-leaf maple in the name of
went to Porto Rico with the Twenty-sev-
entn battery. The third-hour class planted
q cut-leaf maple and a mountain ash for
the old Battery A, in which thirty-three
rlsh School boys are enrolled. A cut-lear
maple was also planted in honor of Miss
Donan, teacher n the civil government
class while horse chestnut was 'set OUT
In compliment to Miss Dye.
The Lafayette contribution was a large
one at the High School. The programme
for the occasion included "a Sketch of the
Life of Lafayette" by Warren Manches-
ter; Eulogy of Lafayette Bernie B.
Cohen; The Relation of France to the
United States During the Revolution"
This Country" Alfred Ogle; and recitations
by Mary Leck and Julia c. Hobbs. In the
afternoon there were several songs and
Rotations in addition to paper on "Lafay~
cite, by j. Milton Mckinley. At the In
dustrial Training School there were no trees
planted. but several talks were made by
the teachers on the subject of Lafayette
day. No penny collection was taken.

RETAIN THE PHILIPPINES.
Women Missioners Arc Anxious that
This BE Done.

The thirty-three women from all parts of
the country who form the general executive
committee Of the Womens Foreign Mission
airy Society of the Methodist Church are at
work in earnest. The committee was rein
forced yesterday by members of the society
from surrounding States who are interested
enough in the work of the committee to
make the trip to this city to watch the
proceedings of the executive body. Yester-
days session began at o'clock in the
morning and continued until noon. Bust
ness was then given up, and part of the
afternoon was spent in devotional exercises
and discussion.
Mrs. j. i. Keen, of Philadelphia, opened
yesterday mornings meeting by conducting
a short devotional service. Then the re-
ports of several committees were heard on
the progress of the work of circulating
literature. The Women's Mission Friend,
the official organ of the society, Miss Louise
NJ. Hcdgkins, of Boston, said, gained two
thousand subscribers in the last year and
its present circulation is q 900 copies. Miss
Pauline j. Walden, of Boston. publishing
agent of the society. reported that the press
of the society has given to the missionary
work $4,000 and of that amount $500 has
been contributed within the last year. Three
million pages of literature have been cir
culated by the society and 10000 pages with
in the last year. A plan was suggested and
will be acted on later of building an orphan
age at Baroda, India, and allowing the
children of the church to take ten shares
of the building stock
A special committee will be appointed to-
day for the consideration of resolutions.
One memorial suggested yesterday was to
the effect that an appropriation be made for
missionary work in the Philippine islands.
The memorial was well received and the
members or the committee made apparent
the sentiment that the Philippines should be
retained by the United States government.
IL was agreed that the missionaries would
have a much greater advantage in their
work in the Philippines If the islands were
controlled by the United States. The dele
gates from the extreme Eastern and West
ern parts of the country have been at con-
siderable expense to attend the meeting,
and a resolution was introduced to combine
the travelling EXPENSES of all the delegates
and let each of the eleven branches bear an
equal portion of this amount. Another
resolution introduced provides that the So
ciety create a building fund. The informal
ton was presented that one of the most
troublesome questions which the mission
aries face is the providing of buildings for
the schools and churches.
The report of the constitutional reference
committee. presented by Mrs. f. T. Cowen.
of Cincinnati stated that eight missionaries
were sent out into foreign fields by the
general society last year.
After a service of prayer and song in the
afternoon Mrs Lucie 4. Harrison, of Bos-
ton talked 10 the delegates on work among
children. Mrs. Harrison originated the
scheme of forming children's bands TO study
missionary work and help in Its support.

Devotional CIVIC in charge OF Mrs. NJ.
WHIPPLE is EXONERATED.
He Is Willing to Forgive and Forget
His "Persecutors."

Frederick H. Whipple, of Providence. r.
l., was exonerated in Police Court yester-
day on the charge of obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses. The prosecution was
spiritless and weak. After the trial Henry
w. Lawrence and Major Taylor, who had
sworn out the warrants against Whipple,
congratulated him on his release and
walked away from the police station with
him and his wife and their friends. Mr..
Taylor said that he did not know the real
facts in the case until he read the newspa-
pers the day after he swore out the war
rant. Had he known that Whipple had a
letter from the secretary of Butler College
authorizing him to solicit advertising on be-
half of the college he would not have made
affidavit that Whipple had committed a
crime. Mrs. Whipple, who is petite young
woman, almost danced with joy when heA
husband was found not guilty. and hurried
him away from the police station for fear
he might be arrested again by his perse-
cutors."
AT the close of the trial, which lasted but
few minutes, there was tiff between
Henry N. Span. Whipples attorney, and
Prosecutor lies. Mr.. Span remarked that
1t was apparent the case against Whipple
was founded more on the prosecutors i'm
agination than on the affidavits. lies iron
ically replied, Thank you, Mr. Spaan,
the prosecutors imagination had been high,
indeed, and lies, with flushed face, again
thanked him.
Whipple announced his intention of call
ing on all those who made contracts for
the advertisements set up al Butler College
and Strengthening out the complications
that have arisen before he leaves the city.
He left his aged mother at Louisville when
he was arrested and voluntarily came here
with the detectives. Yesterday he called
on the haberdasher who secured" himself
by taking Whippes sleeve buttons. Whip
pie said that though he had been wronged
here by certain persons he had been treated
cordially and fairly by others, and he was
willing to forgive and forget his persecu-

W. w. Lyon, who, with his chief, Major

from a hitchng post at Delaware and
South streets yesterday and started out on
a speedy tour of the city. She turned over
to Alabama street on Maryland street and
dashed north. The presence of mind of the
driver of brewery wagon stopped the

let the runaway pass and the horse ran
by he backed up his wagon foot so that
the buggy the runaway drew would catch
the rear end of the heavy wagon. The buggy
struck with a crash and turned over. The
frightened animal drew the mass of wreck

yellow fruit few high in the air. The animal
then fell and one of her hind legs was
