FINE MUSICAL EVENT.

The most pretentious musical event
this town has witnessed in its his
tory of 40 odd years took place to-
night. The Clinton choral union sang
Hayden's oratorio THE Creation? to a
large and fashionable audience in town
hall.
People We're present from Fitchburg
Leominster, Lancaster and notably
from Worcester.
The Creation" is the second con-
cert of the fifth season of the union.
1t was the most ambitious effort the
union has even made
Nevertheless the work was we'll done,
as everybody said, even those who
nave heard this very old, and even new
compositions sung by choruses of 200
and 300 voices, with orchestra accom-
paniment of three score pieces.
There were 100 voices in the chorus
director Eugene BuZzell had arranged
mis- material so that there was an eX-
cellent balance and harmony between
the parts.
The choruses were we'll sustained,
ana the lights and shades were put in
by the direction of Leader Buzzells
baton, in way that showed the ex-
cellent training the chorus had re-
ceived.
The concert was in two parts. The
first part was entirely selection played
by the Boston instrumental Club, which
is led by w. w. Swansbourne, ten
pieces in all. The overture, "Tantalus-
qualen (Suppe), was given with pre-
cision and finish. Then came two
selections by the string quartet. Mr..
Stats played the "Fantasie" from
Pre- aux Clercs'' (Paradis).
The oratoI1o was given afterward.
The people were especially pleased
with the performance of u S. Kerr,
the basso. Mr.. Kerr has sung before
Clinton audiences on several occasions.
The fact is that he could sing badly
and be applauded, so great is local adj
miration of his work. He sang wel,
however
The tenor was J. c. Bartlett. Miss
Jennie Corea was the soprano. Mrs.
Samuel w. Tyler. as accompanies, gave
more than usual satisfaction.
The union spent a great deal of
money producing the oratorio, but all
the members, from President Charles
Swinscoe, are pleased tonight. George
r. Martin thought this morning that
the production would yield a profit.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, JUNE 10TH. 1899.
The new commission to investigate
| Isthmian Canal routes isn't in any hur-
ry to start for the scene Of its principal
labor. 1t held TWO meetings in Wash
ington last week, and after authorizing
Admiral Walker, its president, to APP
point committees to consider each
branch Of the work, adjourned until
Julp 9th, when another meeting will be
held in Washington, at which it is ex-
pected plan for the investigation will
be reported and adopted.
For the benefit of those who are hop.
ing for clerical appointments in the
Census Bureau, it can be officially
stated that there are two absolutely
necessary requirements. One ia to get
the endorsement Of one of your Sena-
tors, or of a Representative from your
state, and the other is to pass the ex-
animation required by the Bureau.
Without both, no applicant stands the
slightest show of receiving an appoint
ment, and only very few appoints
will be made before next year, anyway.
According to the testimony OF Mr..
p. E. Dove, president OF the CONNER
cial Travellers National League, before
the Industrial Commission, the forma-
ton of trusts in this country will re-
suit, basing estimates on what is al
ready known, in the loss of employment
by $4,000 commercial travellers and a
reduction of the pay Of $4,000 more;
the railroads will lose $2l ,O00,0 900, and
the hotels $2S, 100000 Mr.. Dove also
testified that the following trusts had
materially increased the price of the
goods they control: The iron pipe, TIN
and enameled ware, brass goods, chairs,
rubber shoes, tin plate, white paper,
common soap, flint glass bottles, clocks,
all metal goods, brushes, combs, and
ribbon. This information. Mr.. Dove
SAID, had been obtained from CONNER
cial travellers in the lines named. The

existing pleasant relations between them
and the Americans to improve the COM
