known the indianapolis Musical Society.
1t is many years since such chorus has
been in existence in this city and the first
and only successful one was the old Choral

now ripe with the added musical expert
ence, for such an organization, TO be COM
posed more largely of the American singers.
There is enough talent in the city to lead
those interested in counting on a chorus of
from two hundred and fifty to three hum
bred voices. The works Will be chosen from
the best oratorioS, choral studies ana operas.
For the latter the presentation of an opera,
with the best singers as the soloists and the
others for the. chorus, and all given In cos
tune at one of the opera houses at the close
of the season, has been favorably suggested.
Choral works and oratorios viii be given
during the season and each with sololsis
selected from the chorus membership. Mr..
Franz Bellinger will be the director of the
society organization. There will be no eX-
pense for the singers, for the first year, at
least. There will be no definite action taken
until September, when everyone is home
after the. vacation period II has been de-
during the summer when anyone who is
interested in such a society as the one pro-
posed is requested to leave his or her name,

Tnn WAR CLAUSE OF THE PENN
MUTUAL.

The annual statement of This cOnserya-
tive and well managed life insurance
company for 1897, appearing in our
columns to-day, proves the wisdom Of
over a thousand North CarOlnians who
have selected it as the custodian of their
funds. The Penn is n company full Of
honors and usefulness. Faithful Sery-
ant Of large interests, it will live on as
long as men need faithful service. 1t i
Il triumphant demonstration of the
theory Of old line insurance that age can
not stale nor usage Wther. The celc-
bration last year Of its fftieth annivcrSa-
ry was an occasion when all the world
of life insurance might well honor so
excellent n representative of the great
modern idea of family protection ut the
lowest cost consistent with absolute
safety.
The war clause i'm all its policies pro-
yidcs that in case of military or naval
service, in time of war. an extra pre-
MUM OF not more than three percentum
per annum on the amount insured shall
be charged to the policy. Cash payment
of this extra premium is not required.
nor is the consent of the company. The
Penn claims that this is right: that TO
avoid the contract of those who may be
called upon To serve their country is
unjust TO the soldier. and on the other
hand, that to charge nothing for this
extra hazard is inconsiderate of the in
terests of its other members.
