MUSICAL GOSSIP.

The efforts of Mr.. Amos Whiting in
oragnizing a chorus to take part in the
peace jubilee in Scranton are meeting
with success that is encouraging. Since
the dissolution of the Worlds Fair
chorus, which came very near destroy
ing all interest in chorus singing on
large scale in Scranton, 1t has seemed
to be impossible to arouse much senti-
ment in chorus work. 1t is believed,
however, that the success of Mr.. Whit
ing's enterprise may again create an
interest in heavy chorus work. The
coming peace jubilee, in which the Seidl
orchestra will furnish inspiration for
the singers in the grand selections rem
dered, will resemble to an extent the
peace jubilee of over a quarter of a
century ago which made Boston famous
as musical center
Among the young musicians of the
city none give greater promise than
Miss Black, soprano, and Miss Cara
gan, contralto, of the Second Presby-
teriai. -hurch choir. Misses Black and

in enunciation and in quality of tone

Tomorrow evening at the Jackson
Street Baptist church the choir will
give a sacred concert, beginning at Z

Flute-Where is the finest orches-
ira in this country and how does 1t
compare with the great orchestras in
Europe?
Answer-The finest orchestra in this
country is the Boston symphony Or
chestra, which. in my estimation, is
equal to any of the most celebrated
European orchestras. 1t will be for
the next five years conducted by Herr
Wilhelm Gericke, who was it's conduc-
tor from 1884 to 1889, and is one of the
worlds greatest conductors.

Pianist-When a tenor sings a song
from a soprano copy does he sing as
high as the soprano or is it one or two
octaYes lower?
Answer-He does not sing in the same
altitude as the soprano, since If he did
he would be soprano and not a tenor.

THE COMING HORSE SHOW

The donation of cups and prizes for the
different events in the horse show still con-
tinues, more than dozen cups being al
ready offered
A friend of the association has just made
a donation of $500 toward the cash prize
list, and another donation of $lOQ. Both
donors desired their names to be withheld.
1t is such evidence of appreciation and in.
terest which greatly encourages the pro-
moters of the horse show enterprise and as
sures the success Of the first horse show in
the city.
In the east there is what might be called
boom in horse shows. In New York City
company has recently been Incorporated to
lease for five years the Manhattan field, a
well.known place devoted to athletics, and
here the newly incorporated company pro-
poses to give open-air horse shows in the
month of May annually. With the fall horse
shows in the city of New York in November,
which may be regarded as the opening of
the social season in that great city, and
the spring meeting in the open air in the
month of May, it would seem that this horse
show spirit has taken firm hold OF the citi-
zens of the metropolis. In the south, also,
numerous horse shows are being started, and

TO STOCK WITH BASS

The first shipment of large-mouthed black
bass ever liberated in the public waters Of
California was planted during the week in
thc San Joaquin and Russian rivers, says the
ExaIniner. The number planted was l042,
and the fish were about seven inches in
length and weighed one-third of pound
each Those in the Russian river were
placed below Russian river station, hoping
they would multiply in the dead waters of
the river. The large-mouthed black bass
will thrive in this character of water, while
the smaller-mouthed variety with which the
river is now stocked seeks running waters.
Anglers who fish in this portion of the river
are cautioned against taking the newly
planted fish, which can readily be distin-
guished from the other variety on account of
their silvery appearance and the fact that
they have large projecting mouth.
The fishing season is fast drawing to a
close, but two weeks still remaining in which
anglers can indulge in sport on the streams.

WITCH DOCTOR FLouRIsHEs
swindler Reaps Harvest in Somerset
shire, England

Somersetshire is probably the most super
stitious county in England. A case just
heard by the Wells magistrates affords an
amazing insight into the kingly power
welded by the witch doctor, male or female,
in the west country villages. A Mr.. Black
burn of Mortlake seems to have launched
crusade against this survival OF the dark
ages. During a sojourn in Wells he visited
the witch doctor, Chambers, alias Elliott,
the result of which was u prosecution ending
in committal for two months for imposing
ON Mr.. Blackburn by subtle craft" The
police discovered that hundreds of people
from all parts of the country wrote to or
visited chambers for the purpose Of having
devils cast out" of either their sick chill
dren or their cattle. The witch's fee was
los Cd, and it was shown that the simple
country people paid almost worship to their
witch, always addressing him as "sir" and
implicitly following his quaint directions.
Among the letters was one from farmer
thanking the witch for curing his cows and
mare, who had been ill from the evil wishes
of an enemy. Another letter asked "how to
make love;" another il the writer was likely
soon to become widow. Another indicated
that clergyman had been writing for ilum-
nation on the black magic art. The pris-
oner pretended to consult an instrument
and several odd volumes in cipher, and said
he effected his cures by burning various
drugs at midnight. A curious fact was that,
though the police vainly endeavored for
years to get conviction, the man has all
the time obtained his drugs of an alderman
of the city, who is chemist.
