sTAINER's "cRUCIFIxIoN.-
An Excellent Presentation of the
Work at st. Johns Church.

Work at st. Johns Church.
Stainer's "Crucifxion" was sung last
evening at St. Johns P. E. Church, 10th
and H streets, by the choir of the church,
assisted by Mrs. Margaret N. Martin and
Mrs. Mary A. Freeman, altos, and Mr.. W.
D. Mcfarland, tenor. The organ. which
was played by the organist and choirmas-
ter, Mr.. H. H. Freeman, under whose direc-
ton the work was sung, was supplemented
by two viohns, viola and vioioncello.
played by Herman c. Rakemann, William
e. Green, Josef Fsnckel and Ernest Lent,
respectively. After the professional and
the singing of the Lords Prayer and Apos-
ties Greed a brief address was made by
Rev. DR.. Mackay-Smath. the rector OF the
church. The large audience heard with ap-
probation the beautiful music of this
famous composition, which was sung with
fidelity and at the same time with evident
understanding of the great theme. The
voices Of the boys who largely composed
the choir were heard with good effect in
the concerted portions, while the solo parts
were sung with expression and power by
Melville D. Hensey, tenor, and Charles +,
Roberts, bass. 1t was evident that careful
attention had been given to the prepara-
ton for this occasion. At the same time
there was not lacking comprehension OF
the dramatic force of the composition,
Upon Mr. Freeman fell the double duty Of
organist and conductor, and the smooth
ness Ol tn6 presentation, as well de lne Hr-
tistio quality, was a tribute to his ability
as q musician.
As the rector indicated in his remarks,
the service was of q religious character,
and the entire presentation, both in spirit
and manner of execution, bore out that
conception. The accompaniment, especially
that OF the stringed instruments gave that
finish and completeness to the performance
which helped to make 1t so satisfactory
from most every point of view. 1t must
be said that the work of the boy choir was
admirable, and was well sustained through.
out the entire presentation.

WASHINGTON. June 6.-The people
of the United states are paying $1,000
a day for tropical products used In
manufacturing or for food and drink.
Most of them are or can be readily
produced i'm the islands which have
come under our control during the last
three years. The April summary Of
the bureau of statistics shows that I'm
the ten months ending with April our
imports of tropical products have been
over $500. 900 600 i'm value, indicating that
for the full year they will reach 1855,
600 600
India rubber, fbers, raw silk, cotton,
gums cabinet woods. indigo, ivory, dye
woods and chemicals make up the share
which the manufacturers require In
constantly increasing quantities, and
now forms more than one-third of our
total imports. OF india rubber alone,
the imports for the ten months amount
to more than $27000,000, of fibers to
$50 O00, 600 Of manufactured silks $40
600 600. Of cotton over $1,000,000, Of gums
more than S5.000,00O.
OF the foodstuffs sugar of course, Is
first, and Of that portion which comes
from the tropics is vastly greater in
the last year than i'm the Immediately
preceding years. The Dutch East In
dies, which lie just along side Of the
Philippines, have been our largest sim
gle source of supply of sugar since the
Cuban revolution began.

HOUSE NUMBERING PLAN
SURVEY DEPARTMENT PRESENTS
ITS IDEAS.
City to be Divided on Old Lines, and
Given 100 Numbers to the Block
Carriers to be Selected.

The survey department acting for
and with Superintendent McCandless,
has decided upon plan for house num-
bering that may be carried into effect.
The plan was presented and explained
at a meeting held yesterday afternoon.
NJ. H. Flint, the postoffice inspector,
and Stanley Stevenson were present by
invitation. The latter numbered the
houses of Alameda.
Prof w. d. Alexander and w. L.
Wall presented the ideas agreed upon.
The plan was to divide the city into
four sections by making the divid-
ing boundaries at King and Nuuanu
streets, or as now. Nuuanu street was
adopted because it is the only street
running mauka as far as the city can
grow. King street is the only one hav-
ing continuance from end to end of the
city, Beretania, the next most inn
