Choral Union
OF Clinton
SCORE BIG SUCCESS
"Crusader7 Presented by
Soloists and Chorus.

Clinton. Dec. 9.-The educational
forces that have been at work since tht
Clinton Choral Union gave its frs
concert could be realized last night
when the unions chorus of a hundred
voices, under the leadership Of Eugene
Buzzell of Worcester, sang the "Crusa'
ders" (Gade), to an audience that was
not only as large and more representa-
tive than the audiences that preceded
81, but which was keenly appreciative
of the finer standings of the music, and
responsive to details that would have
found no greeting before audiences OF
even more pretensions.
The singers received their assign
nent of seats last night, The stage
had been temporarily built out into the
auditorium. The seats extended pack
ward from the temporary stage IN as
oending tiers, to half the depth Of the
permanent stage. The first tier OF
seats was on a level with the piano.
The singers looked out upon an au-
dience that should have been brilliant
enough to satisfy them. The chorus
itself was beautiful, from a scenic
gowns relieved by bits of color here and
there, and the male singers black. The
women had the front Of the stage, con-
&raltos on the right and sopranos on
the left.
The work Of the chorus was most
naturally judged by its performance in
the Crusaders. From the opening
line ELAINE, like the sand waste,
glows and quivers,' to the end of the
piece, the chorus proved a well-bal-
anced, capably handled body OF
voices.
The work was greatly strengthened
by the intelligent choice Of soloists eX-
epcised by the directors.
The bass Of Peter the Hermit was
sustained by U. S. Kerr Of Boston, who
is the bass of the Second UniVersahst
Church choir of Boston. Thomas john
son of Boston sang the part Of ftinal-
do, and Miss Jennie Mae Spencer of
Boston the Armida of the piece.
The words of the Crusaders proved
q beautiful as the music 1t is a
song allegory of the lust of the flesh
striving with the soul Of man for mas
terry. The Hermit Peter has inspired
the Crusaders, Of whom the most zeal
GUS is Rinaido, with a desire TO rescue
the tomb OF the Lord from the hands
of the infdel. AS he pursues his jour

SECRETARY GAGE PREDICTS AN EARLY CEssA-
TIoN OF THE DEFICIT.
Washington, Feb II (SpeciaD. Secretary Gage
pointed with a good deal Of interest to-day TO
the fact that the customs receipts for this fiscal
year have at last overtaken the receipts for the
same period of the fiscal year which ended last
June
The total receipts so far this fiscal year to-
day reached SsS 9594. while for the same
period OF the last fiscal year they were SsS,OSO,-
6O5 The race has been long one. but the
Dingley law is every day drawing away from
the Wilson German law in the matter OF fur
nishing customs revenue TO the Government.
Secretary Gage sees In these receipts with the
income from other sources, an early cessation OF
the deficit which has daily marked the condi-
tion OF the Government for a number OF years.
The receipts are also in line with the predictions
