IT WILL NOT DISBAND.
SCHUBERT CLUB CHORAL AsSoCIA-
TON is NOE DEAD YET


Is the Schubert Club Choral association
to remain in existence? If not, why not?
These are questions many Of the men,
bers of the association are asking rather
vigorously A meeting of the association
was held last evening at the Y M. c. A
and was largely attended. Miss Nellie
A Hope, chairman of the choral asse-
citation committee, presided. Miss Shave
president of the Schubert club was pres
ent. Miss Hope explained briefly why the
majority of the committee whose duty it
was to canvass the field for subscribers,
decided that a choral assoeiation-an as
ISOLATION that planned giving three large
concerts at closely estimated cost Of
$S,OOO-Was not a possibility. The mem
bers of the committee, she stated, had
visited those people who were patrons of
last years concerts and had found that
only about half We're willing to be pa
irons of the new series. Without soma
such guarantee, the committee decided
That the contemplated concerts would
be an Improbable undertaking.
Miss Shaw expressed on behalf of the
Schubert club its regret that it was I'M
able to stand sponsor to the choral as
ISOLATION in its new undertaking. It was
too hazardous venture, the Clue
thought.
Mr.. Carl Heine, a member of the as
ISOLATION, agreed that the outlook for
successful series of concerts, such as
the association had planned, was dis
couraglng, but he. thought the educat ton
OF the st. Paul public demanded some
sort Of a choral association The peo-
pie OF st. Paul We're woefully lacking,
he observed, in a knowledge of choral
music. Perhaps a more modest assocIa-
ton, he suggested, might be successful.
Mrs. Homer G. Munson thought the
Schubert club had been hasty in its reso-
luton to abandon the chorus lido not
believe" she said, that thorough can
Vass OF the city has been made, and II
think 1t is due. to st. Paul and to the as
ISOLATION that more exhaustive canvass
be made"
D. F. De Wolf indorsed the action Of
the Schubert club, but thought that #
every member of the choral association
would pledge himself to work for its suc-
cess such an association could be made
permanent.
rising vote was taken to ascertain
the sentiment of the association in re.
gard to continuance Of the chorus. The
sentiment was almost unanimous in ia
for of its being kept intact if there was
any possible means for SO doing.
meeting will be held next Monday
evening in the lecture room of the First
M E. church, at which the matter will
be further discussed

rag market in Moscow.
The wife takes a position as maid. But
the director of the establishment where she
is employed falls In love with her and wins
her affections. They resolve not to live to-
gether without a marriage ceremony. They
therefore induce the girls husband to play
the part Of one dead to the world-a role he
is quite willing to undertake for con-
sideration.
The girl thereupon informs the police that
her husband has completely disappeared, and
even pretends to recognize as his the body
OF an unknown man found drowned in the
river The marriage takes place, but the
secret Of the lovers is made known through
a public house brawl in which the de-
graded husband relates that he is "a
corpse" and how he came to be So The

of bigamy. are banished to Siberia, where the
denouement takes place, as in Tolstoi S
