goods, we don't want to lay in q stock Of
Things which will eat up the profit laying

to do.
Three years ago we had a winter with
cold and snow. Everyone wanted q
snow shovel, and there were very few to
be found. The retail dealers soon sold
out, and the wholesale people had no
supply from which to draw upon 1t was
one of those cases Of being unprepared

THAT was all the good 1t did, 1t did
not snow that winter and 1t did not
snow the following. Now we are having
summer weather and no one knows
what the future will bring forth. Ger

Snow shovels are bulky to store, and

sequently became; and Arthur Dawson,
organist of Hope Street Unitarian church,
Liverpool. At the age of sixteen Mr.. Bar
Der was appointed organist and choic-
master of st. Domingo church, which
position he filed for three and a half
years. He was then appointed, in Liver
pool, organist and choirmaster of All
Saints church, Winnipeg, and for sew
eral years held several church appoint
ments in Manitoba. In the summer Of
1893 Mr. Barber first came to ST. Paul, in
tending only a short stay, but he finally
decided to take up his residence in the
city. For a month he took the organ at
the First Baptist church. there being that
space of time between the outgoing and
incoming organists. Immediately upon
concluding the engagement he took the
position Of organist and choirmaster at
Christ church, which position he has filled
ever since.
Christ church choir at present consists
of about fifty voices, including thirty
boys, eight women and twelve men. Mr..
Barber is DESTROYS of obtaining few
more mems voices to strengthen his choir
the present number of tenors and bassos
being hardly sufficient to balance the
rather heavy sopranos.
Because Christ church is the mother
Episcopal church Of the city and because
it has larger seating capacity than any
other Episcopal church in the city the
church is invariably selected for services
of special character. For this reason
an extra amount Of work is thrown upon
the choir. The choir has always respond
ed nobly to such demands, In a great
many instances at personal inconvenience.
The substitution Of electric light has
recently added much to the attractive in
terror Of this beautiful church. Concealed
incandescent lights food the sanctuary
at night with soft glow and three arc
lights furnish light for the body of the
church.

One Sunday the new rector borrowed the
choir of ST. Pauls church and had 1t
furnish the singing. During the week
that followed he took a vote of the con-
gregation on the matter and found there
was an almost unanimous desire for the
vested choir.
James Blake, who for awhile had
charge of ST. Johns choir, was the first
choirmaster at Christ church. For a
time he was both organist and choirmas-
ter, but later Edward Tarbox, who is
now organist at the House of Hope
church, played the organ at Christ
church. Mr.. Blake served from 1889 to
1894, when he left to become the choir
master of Gethesmane church in Mime
apolis Prof. Louis Brown, who now re-
sides in Atlanta, Ca, succeeded him.
Prof. Louis Brown, who now resides in
Atlanta, Ca, succeeded him. Prof.
Brown remained about year and then
Prof. Blake returned. He was sue
ceeded by Ezra Foote, who now resides
In Tacoma, and who had charge Of
Christ church choir for twelve months.

church, 1.-The mother church," as it is
affectionately designated by old Episco-
palian residents of the city. Fifteen
years ago, when the rector came from
Washington, D. c., to take charge of
Christ church parish, he found that the
church music was furnished by a mixed
quartette. The quartette has been a
long established one, and while the new
rector preferred the vested choir and felt
that not only from musical standpoint,
but from a philanthropic one as well,
such a choir would be for the best inter-
ests of the church, as a new conner he
felt some delicacy about making so rad
ical change. Many of his congregation
had not even heard of a vested choir.

"A vested choir made up largely Of
boys serves several purposes said DR..
G. D. Andrews, of Christ church. the
other dav in talking over the formation
and history of his own choir. In the
first place it provides a place in the
church for boys who imagine they have
passed the Sunday school age. And then
the parents of these boys, who othef-
wise might not attend church, come for
the Measure of seeing their sons in
their snowy vestments and of hearing
them sing. The vested choir, therefore
is really a missionary effort in broad
sense"

ganized the vested choir Of Christ

NEW LIGHT ON AN ARMY CASE.
Papers Found Indicate Innocence O
Accused Ex-pnYmaHter.

The auditing officers OF the Treasury
have disc overed some additional records
in the case of Henry Cecil Fitzgerald.
formerly volunteer paymaster in the
army, which are calculated to show that
the officer may not be the absconder that
he was suspected of being.
Fitzgerald was mustered out of the vol
unteer service year or more ago, and
his bondsman released. 1t was then dis
covered by the auditor that he was some
100 short in his accounts. Fitzgerald
disappeared and the last heard of him
was his departure from New York for
Paris. The War Department has not
abandoned search for him. but within the
last few days the auditing officers have
discovered additional papers which must
have gone astray and the contents of
which show Fitzgerald in a much more
creditable light.
Some of the money charged against him
has been accounted for. and 1t is possi-
ble that all of the missing funds will be
found in the record.
