FINE MUSIC
AT EPW0RTH.
An Immense Crowd Gath
cred to Hear the Song
Service Given by
the Choir.

One thousand people crowded into
Epworth NJ. f. Church last night
TO hear the song service given by
the choir. Many others were un-
able to obtain standing room and
were compelled 10 60 away. Geo.
e. King was director, Mrs. Emma
Saxton organist, and Prot. Wall
smith. cornetist.
The large choir came in at $50
o'clock and opened its services
wifi a splendid rendition of
Sweeneys "Salvation. O the Joyful
Sound" in which the basses did ex-
cellent work on their obllgato part.
From that on there was perfect
flood OF music until after 9 o'clock.
The singing of the choir was inter-
spersed with congregational sclec.
tions. Dudley Bucks "Jubilate
Deo,' in d was given in fine style,
the work of the double male quar-
tettc and the ladies quartette being
especially good. The basses had
some pretty runs al the closing part
of the anthem, and they acquitted
themselves with great credit
praise Ye the Lord a new and
pleasing anthem by McAfee was
rendered. and the joyful sentiment
OF the music was correctly inter-
preted by the singers. Another
new anthem, IA Hymn of Thanks
giving by Parks, was also sung.
A feature of this selection was the
careful singing of parts by the
double male quartette. followed by
the whole chorus. The closing
pages had some difficult work for
tine sopranos and tcnors and they
sung their parts in a highly com.
mcndable manner One of the best
selections by the choir was sAshford's
Consider the Lilies. composition
of unusually sweet harmony. The
unison work of the male voices and
altos was almost faultless, as was
also the work of the tenors, who
sang with remarkable sweetness
and good expression. The sopranos
sustained the forceful closing pas
sages OF this number with the dig
nifty the composer intended.
Rev. r. B. Short sang the bari
tone solo, "The Golden Pathway
by Hamilton Gray. with splendid
expression. Mr.. Short has a BARI
tone voice ot remarka able range and
smoothness. One of the features
of the service was tine cornet solo,
The Holy City, by Prof Wall
smith. The genial leader of the
First Regiment Band is Il favorite
with the congregation of Epworth
and his playing was highly COM
mendablc.
A double male quartette sang in
good harmony Going By conf
position OF O'kane.
Mrs. Emma Saxton, the regular
organ,st OF the church. vas the ac- !
cornpanist for all the numbers and
showed remarkable skill in handling
the organ. Mrs. Saxton is one OF
the most correct accompanies IN the
city, and her playing last r ight was
d sub jcct of admiration.
Epworth choir is one of the very
best chorus choirs in this city and
its fine singing at last nights song
service will sustain its reputation.

George Thatcher's Greatest
Minstrels is the attraction to be at
the Opera House on Friday night.
Judging by the list Of names gath
cred under the Thatcher minstrel
banner, it is safe to predict Il
thoroughly entertaining perform
ance. Mr.. Thatcher heads the list
of entertainers, and will give the
per ormance his personal direction.
in tar first part, special attention
il given to the vocal music and
comedy, which. it is claimed are OF
the highest order. One may readily
accept this statement from the fact
that among the vocalists are J. J.
Cluxton, Walter Thompson. w. G.
Held, f. w. Price. Matthew Healy,
J. W. Quinn. Will Mann, Forest
Davis. Harry Ward, Frank kirkby
and others Of equal celebrity. An
orchestra Of talented musicians,
under the direction cf Mr.. Ad.
Stark. completes an ensemble effort
of extraordinary merit. Equally
careful attention has been devoted
to the olio which also introduces
Mr.. Thatcher in his ownparticular
field Of humorous monologue.

Mysterious shooting Case.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 4.-Ferdinand
Rehan, a young man of Delray, was
killed mysteriously shortly after mid
night. Rehan had been out walking with
Mrs. Arthur Drouillard, a domestic en-
ployed by Chaplain Shields at Fort
Wayne. He was about to leave her.
near the residence of her parents. at the
corner OF Crawford and South streets,
in pelray, when he was shot.
Mrs. Drouillard, who was arrested.
says that Rehan was apparently in n
happy frame of mind. and nothing but
pleasant words passed between them.
She claims that when they neared the
home of her parents he said he would
bid her good -night there instead of go
ling up to the house. AS he said it, and
before She had time to look around, she
heard the shot, and her companion fell.
When she recovered sufficiently to real
ze what had happened she gave the
alarm. The bullet entered the young
mans head The spot where the shoot
ing occurred is well lighted, and 1t is
not thought that any one could have
been concealed The theory of suicide
lis advanced, and it is supported by the
fact that the bullet Was fired from a

role of attack on prepared positions,
while the Beers at the very outset, by
means of their mobility, may be able
to make a dash into Natal, retiring
with comparative ease If pressed. But
1t is hard to believe that they have the
staying power sufficient to prolong
operations for any length of time. Gen.
Butler will eventually be strong enough
to invest any fortified towns or posi-
lions taken up by the Beers end sit
down and wait until exhaustion sets in
among them. Sparsely populated as is
the Veldt, with total area scarcely
equal to France, it is questionable If
10000 typical yeomen, trained in the use
of arms, can be raised throughout the
whole Transvaal. The rest are city men,
with the vice of greed and love of ease
engendered in the centers of urban life.
1T is far from true that the Beers
are a Cody, clean-living, generous race.
They have openly given it out that the
British are to be uprooted, stock and
branch, and an oft-heard phrase, To
every man damsel or two,' throws a
lurid light on Kruger's pious front.
I'VE enjoy the sublime advantage of
eventually posing as the attacking
party, and it remains to be seen how
far the Beers are fitted for the weari-
some role of passive defense, which,
sooner or later will be imposed upon
them
Although Sir Butler has gone. most
of the corps is still here. The Assoc
fciated Press learns that the admiralty
has finally fixed upon Oct. 90 as the
first day of regular embarkation, this
continuing each day thereafter from
Southampton. On Oct. 90 and 25 there
will be embarkations of a large contin-
gent of men and equipment at Tilbury
These two ports Will be the only out
lets OF any Importance.
The Outlook quotes n member of the
icabinet. whose name is not given, but
who is evidently Chamberlain, as say
ling in private conversations:
Absolute equality, nothing more
nothing less, is what we intend to Sc
cure in South Africa. There can be but
zone fate for the Boer oligarchy. there
can be left no doubt regarding British
lsoyereignty over all South Africa
When these ends have been attained g
policy of magnanimity and considera-
ltion. such as has made the French Can
iadians loyal British subjects, will,
/ have no doubt. be applied with equa
success in South Africa. To destroy
ruthlessly the hest traditions of al
Hamour propre Of the Beers would be ar
act of the supremcst folly"
