Grand Cantata Of David"

Tuesday and Wednesday evenings Of
next week the cantata David, the
Shepherd Boy" viii be produced by the
Choral union OF Grants Pass. The
singers have been training energetically
for the event and in their rehearsals
have made it most evident that no one
that appreciates grand musical produc-
ton can afford to be absent from the
opera house on the evenings men.
toned.
From beginning to end, it is a success
sion Of grand and inspiring choruses,
interspersed with beautiful solss, duets,
trios and quartets. About 60 voices will
participate in the cboruses, while the
special parts will be handled by our
best soloists.
The play itself is lively, the costumes
are brilliant, vivid and picturesque.
David, tine hero Of the play, is shown as
shepherd, musician, warrior and King,
the final scene being the coronation and
ending with the superb chorus, "Hosan-
ma"
The character Of David, the hero, is
ably assumed by Geo. Cramer. The
part is tenor, requiring voice Of
capability in compass and power, and
also calls for the exercise Of some histri-
onic talent. Mr.. Cramer handles the
part admirably.
The role OF Abigail, Queen OF Carmel,
heroine, is assumed by Miss Edna
Parker. She sings her difficult solos
in voice whose power, richness and
beauty will be a revelation to her
audience, and she takes her part with
an adaptability and ease which lends an
additional pleasure to the production.
Saul, despondent and unhappy, is
portrayed in a most realistic manner
by T. z. Cramer. Miss Laura Parker,
as Micha', the faithful daughter Of Saul,
has two contralto solos which might
have been composed and arranged es.
pecially for her as they suit her magnif-
cent voice to perfection.
Mr.. Harry l.. Andrews appears as
Jonathan, son Of Saul and friend Of
David. The two duets in which he
appears. one with David and the other
with Saul are Of themselves worth the
price OF admission.
Samuel, the aged prophet, "who slew
the Amalekite," is represented by A, Il.
VOORHEES,. j. M. Booth appears M
Jesse, the father Of David. Abner, the
chief and captain, is portrayed by ]. Il
Peterson, while Bert Barnes appears as

The platform reported at Phila-
delphia is strong and virile pres
entation of principles which are
rather an exposition of broad Amer
icanism than of mere party doctrine.
The Mckinley administration Is in.
dorsed; faith in the gold standard
reafhrmed and the regulation of
trusts and monopolies recommend
ed. Restoration of our shipping
industry Is foreshadowed and legis.
lation to that end guaranteed. The
promise Of reduction of the war
taxes Is a welcome one and 1t is
only to be regretted that it Is not
yet deemed proper to guarantee the
complete removal of these imposts.
Measures for the expansion of
American trade are advocated, nota-
bly, tie building of an isthmian ca
nal, the creation of a department of
commerce and industries and
the reorganization of the consular
service. Adverting to the re-
sponsibilities left over from
the war with Spain, the plat.
form pledges the full perform
ance of the national obligations to
our new territories, including the
granting of independence to Cuba
and the extension of the largest
possible measure of selt,govern.
ment to our other colonies. In all
this there is no trace Of what the
Democratic opposition describes as
imperialistic sentiment. Condi-
tons are accepted simply as they
exist and the dominant party
pledges the government to make
the best of them.

After the death of Captain Drum his
widow received from President Nc
