The Choral Society.

At the regular rehearsal on Monday even
ing the attendance of active members was
larger than at any rehearsal for many
years past. One of the pleasant features
Of the rehearsals this year is the presence
in the gallery of the sustaining member
ship and others interested. Among those
noticed last Monday was Prof. ]. w. Chick
ering. who has been a regular supporter OF
the society for many years. He was re-
newing his acquaintance, book in hand,
with a work with which he became first
familiar many years ago as conductor OF
similar societies.
The sight-singing classes at Shelden'
Hall on Tuesday evening were well at
tended. Prof. Kirkpatrick makes the In
struction very interesting. The advanced
class was given d lesson in following the
conductors baton. and one member re-
marked that he had been singing under a
conductor for many years, but never be-
fore had had the meaning of his signs
made so clear.
The monthly Bulletin will be issued In a
few days. and viii contain biographical
notes of Nine. Gadski and Mr.. Bispham,
who are to sing at the coming Messiah
performances during the holidays. This
will be the tenth annual presentation OF
this work by the society and, for the nrst
time in Washington, the entire work will
be given every solo and chorus, as Han
del wrote It.

The Danirosch society.

Three OF the greatest artists known TO
the musical world of today have been en-
gagged by the Damrosch Society for the
series of concerts to be given this season
by that organization. The first of the Sc
ries will be in the nature OF a song recital
by Marie Brems, assisted by the Damrosch
Society. at the Columbia Theater January
81. The second, a piano recital, by Vladi-
mir de Pachman, March IA, at Columbia
Theater; and the third, a concert by the
Damrosch Society, with Campanari as
principal soloist. The Brcma song recital
Will be especially interesting owing to her
tremendous success of last season with the
Metropolitan Opera Company in Die Wal
kBre," and particularly her singing of the
Schuman song cycle. De Pachmann's reci-
tai on Wednesday, was such decided sue
cess that his appearance on March IA is
an assured success. This concert will be all
he more interesting from the fact that 1t
will be Chopin Recital" With regard to
Campanari, it Is questionable If any men,

is moro popular In Washington than this
artist not excepting Melba. The society
Is in a fourshng condition. 1t has in its

USEFUL GIFTS.
Parker. Bridget 4 Co.'s Elaborate Dis
play for the Holidays.

People nowadays, more than ever before,
are appreciative Of the wisdom of combin-
ing practica ability with beauty in articles
chosen for gifts. specially in the Christmas
holiday season. Thus, to be popular, the
stock of gifts must be made up of useful
things-articIes which Will prove valua BILE
in realit-- as wei in regard to the asso-
Citations connect ed with them. AS result OF
this common-sense way Of thinking, one de-
partment store, if no more. where wearing
apparel is displayed and sold. is just now
enjoying the first harvest of the oncomng
rush of holiday trade The garments placed
before the pu5lC at this season are most
attractive, and are in every way appro-
pirate for gifts.
a store where handsome and practical
gifts abound is that of Parker, Bridget &
Co, Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street.
Their second Christmas in this large new
building finds the firm in better shape than
ever to cater To the holiday business. AL
ready the cnd-Uf-the year season has been
Successful, and indications point to hoH-
day trade that will surpass even the vast
volume Of last year at this time.
In the well-equpped handsomely ap-
pointed and elaborately stocked stores Of
Parker, Bridget x Co. the women will find
just now all sorts Of attractive goods in
wearing apparel, both outer and under gar
mcnts. suitable for their own use and val
liable gifts to family or friends. Such
presents would be sure to call forth the
deepest appreciation. me store lS making
a specially at this time of French lingerie,
silk underwear and hosiery of the latest
and most delicate and exquisite patterns.
and imported Corsets. Handsome fancy
silk waists or petticoats are pointed out as
especially appropriate and proper gifts.
They are being largely purchased for this
use.
In leather goods there are articles large
and small. suitable for men and women,
boys and girls. The stock in this line is
very complete, and abounds in articles espe-
cially placed on the holiday market.
For men alone what could be more val
uable a gift than wearing apparel?
Suits hats, shoes, OverCoats and all that
goes to manly adornment is found at Par
ker Bridget & Co.'S in greatest variety and
value. Smoking jackets and furnishing
goods are time-hOnored presents for the
masculine sex that never lose their pop
ularity. In haberdashery there il every
thing in stock imaginable. The store is we'll
prepared for the boys, too and everything
they need 10 wear is provided.
A feature of the holiday season at this es-
tablishment is the presentation of souvenir

PROMOTERS ENCOURAGED.
Liberal Subscriptions to stock of Pro-
posed Trust Company.

Those interested in the proposed new
storage and trust company are encouraged
by the reception which the enterprise has
received from the public. Although nothing
more has been done than to give notice
that 1t was the purpose to form such a cor
poratiOn and no prospectus has been issued
or effort made TO call 1t particularly to the
attention of the investing public 1t is said
offers of subscriptions have been already
received by some of the ircorpOrators
amounting to one-half of the entire pro-
posed capitalization. which is s1,2Oo,0O0.,
1t is the intention, however, to issue
prospectus and then short time before the
middle of the present month, the date
stated in the formal notice when applica-
tion Will be made on the part of the incor
porators to the District Commissioners for
articles Of Incorporation, the officers and
directors viii be selected. Under the law
one-haf of the capital stock must be paid
in before the company can begin business,
and year is allowed for the payment of
the balance. AS it Is the desire of those in
terested to begin business at as early a date
as possible, 1t is probable that one-half of
the stock will be made payable at once,
and the balance in installments. 1t is
thought from present prospects that 1t
will not be necessary to offer the stock at
public subscription. as all of it will be
taken before the books can be opened for
such a purpose.

TO CURE DEFECTS IN LAW.
Suggestion in Regard to Persons of
Evil Repute.

In view of the recent decision of Justice
Bradley of the District Supreme Court, that
the charge of suspicious character" can
not be sustained under existing law, Maj
Sylvester. the chief of police, believes 1t is
important to his department that such leg
islation may be had as will permit the ar
rest of, and issuance of information
against, strangers and others who may
come under the surveillance of the police,
If there are reasonable grounds for the be-
lief that they have committed, about
to commit, some act in vic alton of law.
Maj. sylvester has, therefore. recommended
to the Commissioners that the matter be
considered by them in order that the de-
rect, II any exists in the prevailing law,
may be presented to Congress for proper
legislation whereby the police may be sus
tanned in their efforts to prevent the COM
mission of crime.
When persons of well-known evil re-
pute. soys Maj. Sylvester, those having
criminal records and kindred subjects come
within this jurisdiction, it is of the utmost
Importance that the authorities may be
prepared to investigate and arrest them II
Such course Is warranted by facts, to the
