The Choral Society,

The sight singing class organized by the
Choral Society promises to develop into a
very important aid to musical culture in
Washington. The third session was held
last Monday night with an attendance of
about 30 A proposition was made by a
prominent resident of the Navy Yard to es-
tablish a new class in East Washington
and a very desirable hall was offered free
of rent for the purpose. The society is now
looking around for suitable conductor for
this class who will carry on the instruction
according to the Damrosch method used
in the present class.

five volunteers for an auxiliary chorus Sc
lected from the various choirs of the city,

rosch Society. Great interest is manifested
in the work.

SUNDAY SALES OF LIQUOR.
Amendment to Pending Legislation
Proposed by Commis sioners.

The District Commissioners, in commu-
nication to the chairman of the two Dis
trict committees in Congress, have RECON-
mended that the bill introduced a few
days ago TO prohibit the sale of iutoxicat-
ing liquors on Sunday be amended SO that
i will read as follows:
That it shall be unlawful for any maker,
brewer, or dstiller of beers or other in
toxicating liquors in the District of Column
bla, or the agent or servant of such maker,
brewer, or distiller, or the agent or servant
of any maker, brewer,or distiller of intoxicat-
ing liquors outside of SAID District to sell
or denver any Intoxicating liquors in the
District of Columbia on the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, unless its
sale is for shipment for some point on that
day outside the District of Columbia.
mat any person violating the provisions
OF this act Shall, on conviction thereof in
the Police Court on a prosecution in the
name of the District of Columbia, be pun
ished by a fine of not less than $3.50 nor
more than $500 for each and every offense." 4"
The Commissioners state that they are
heartily in favor of this bill, and cannot
urge too strongly its passage. Reports
from the police department regarding the
dlsgraceful and outrageous conduct of per-
sons made drunk by the use of beer sold
them from some Of the breweries in the
city renders this matter of very great i'm
portance, and the Commissioners venture
to express the hope that the bill, with the
few changes which are suggested, may be
passed at this session of Congress.
