THE CHORAL SOCIETY.
Program of It's Work for the Coming
Season.

While but little has been heard from the
ayers has been very busy on the subject of
the program for next season. At the meet
ing of the board last evening the concert
committee rendered another detailed report
covering the work of several previous meet
ings of the committee, and the following
program adopted for the season of
1900 1901.

the society might render each year three

fine program as Messiah "Hora Novis-

which to select. Those who like to see the
society present at least one large work
each year never before rendered here have

who have liking for song recitals and il

sUNBURN AND FRECKLEs.
Some Remedies Which VIII Be Eff
cient in Most Cases.

From the Youths Companion.
Both of these affections are caused by
the action Of the suns rays, but why one
person tans while another freckles is not
easy of explanation. Both affections are
said to be caused chiefly by the chemical
or ultraviolet rays, but in the case Of sun
burn It Is probable that the heat also has
some effect.
The tan may come gradually, without
any burn, after a succession of slight and
brief exposures to the sun or to high winds
for wind will tan as well as sunshine
Usually however the city dweller gets well
burned during the first few days Of his
vacation in the country or on the water
In severe cases the skin is red. slightly
swollen, and the seat of a sharp, burning
sensation. If the exposure has been pro-
longed or the glare of the sun very In
tense it may even be blistered. After
few DAYS the soreness and heat SubSide and
the red color gradually turns to brown.
If the burn is pretty severe. cooling To-
items. such as alcohol end water. diluted
cologne water solution OF bicarbonate of
soda, or lead water, may be applied. or the
skin may be smeared with cold cream, cam
phor ice, zinc ointment or mixture Of
lime water and oil. Some such application
as this, the sufferer being careful to keep
out of the sun for a day or two, will usu-
ally suffice.
If blisters form they should be pricked
with clean needle at the most dependent
part, and when the water mas dralned
away they should be covered with a cloth
spread with one of the greasy applications
just mentioned.
Freckles occur usually on persons of
sandy complexion, especially those with red
hair. They are not common in very young
children, under six or eight years of age, or
In persons of middle or advanced life. They
usually come for the first time in summer.
and are less marked or even disappear. in
winter. Persons who freckie do not tan, as
q rule.
Freckles. like sunburn. may be prevented
by the wearing OF a veil. preferably red or

COTTON AGAIN
 GOES JUMPING
A Full Recovery from Tester
 days Sharp Decline.
LONDON CABLE WAS STRONG
Strength of Southern Spot Market Was Increased by Renewed Efforts ot Spinners to Secure Further
 Supplies Closed Steady

New York, March 20.-Within the first hour on the cotton exchange today rise of to 10 points was scored, this being a full recovery from yesterdays sharp de- cline. The bull faction continued In power throughout the session despite the fact that business for investment account came in with extreme tardiness. The foundation for rise of to points on the call and a later additional upturn of to 10 points consisted of very strong Liverpool cables in place of an extreme break in sympathy with yesterdays weakness here and fairly good buying orders from Europe. Supple menting these influences were numerous advices from the cotton belt stating in eff feet that planters were becoming discour- aged by continued declines.
 The strength of southern spot markets was increased by renewed efforts of spin- ners to secure further supplies, while sta- tistically, the situation at all centers was admitted to be strongest in many months, if not in years. Rumors that a bear clique was under going formation exerted no pos tive influence upon the market. The inter- dor semi-weekly figures averaged up bull ishly. In view of the surprise furnished by Liverpool this morning room traders were naturally reluctant to assume extensive new commitments late in the session, pend- ing receipts of tomorrow's advices from the English market. The close was quiet and steady at net advance of to 13 points.

BRILLIANT SHOW
 IN STOCK MARKET Explosive Outbreak Occurred in
 the Traction Group. THIRD AVENUE C0RNERED
Jump of Nearly Seventeen Points oc- cured on Top of Yesterdays Rise Brought Out Large Lots
 rom Long Holders

New York, March 2l-There was bril- liant display of speculative pyrotechnies in the stock market today, which was inter- esting and informing a spectacle, but which must have been attended with un- pleasant circumstances for some one.
 The explosive outbreak took place in the New York Traction group, and was precipi- tated by the official announcement pub llshed thls morning that the Metropolitan Street railway had secured a controlling ln- terest in the Third Avenue Railroad com pany. This at once confirmed the fears of the shorts. which have been quite aeutely manifested for several days, that there was not a large enough supply of Third Avenue stock oE the market to enable them to COW CT their unified contracts for delivery. In ether words, the stock was eornered.
 Tho result, briefly stated. was a jump of nearly T. points in the price on top of yes- terday's rise of nearly 19 points. The vio- lent rise in the stock brought out large lots from long holders, which caused many re- lapses ard made wide and feverish fiuc- tuations all day. But when the shorts at tempted to supply their needs the price al- ways moun:e ed buoyantly upward again.
 The iron and steel stocks were rather heavy, notably National Steel and Tennes- see Coal. The money market showed evil dences of relaxation. The continued de- cline ill the price of government bonds in- dlcate a process of liquidation which sug gasts that the recent level Of prices prompt ed the changing of plans for taking out bank note circulation and the selling out of Holdings of bonds
