FIRST SAENG[RBUNO
CONCERT SUCCESSFUL
Large and Enthusiastic Au-
dience Greets Performers.

The first concert Of the season by the
Washington saengerbund was given last
night at the clubhouse in Street, be-
tween Third and Fourth Streets north
weat
The well-appointed rooms of the club
house were scarcely large enough to ac-
ccmmodate the number who responded
to cards of invitation. The Sunday even
ing concerts seem to grow in popularity
each year. The large chorus under the
direction of Henry Xander is one of
the chief features. and last night its
singing OF Genee's "Goldne Lebensre-
geln" proved one of the distinct sue
cesses of the evening. Miss A. Mae
Rogers and Mrs. A. L. Goodhue, two
popular singers of Washington, sang
several solos and Rossini's duet, THE
Regatta" Charles Scheuermann. of
Baltimore, was forced to respond to an
encore after singing two numbers, and
A. O. Penny's Interpretation of THE
Song of the Sword" was highly pleasing.
Donch's Orchestra of twenty-five as
sisted during the evening. and at the
conclusion of the concert played the
"Saengerbund Carnival March" by Mr.
Donch. composition dedicatory to the
club.

found there, and the priests have hard
time to make both ends meet.

intelligent. Some OF the most distin-

part of North Carolina.
Most Of these country people belong
to the primitive sect called the Hard

and preach the Catholic religion. They

medical students of the sophomore class
at the University Of Chicago asked Miss
Bonnie Little IL she would be present
at the class election she replied: "Of

trepidation. Miss Little having said she

lack of support. and she went alone.
As a result Of her pluck the men have
elected her the class secretary. the rest

CATHOLIC WORKERS
IN NORTH CAROLINA
Father Price Tells of Destruction of Chapel Near Raleigh
by Fanatics.

PEELED to seek the hospitality Of the peo-
pie He said there has never been a
case known where preacher Of the
gospel, of whatever creed, has been re-
fused shelter or food. Speaking Of the
opposition the Catholic priests have to
overcome In their work, Father Price
said, in part:
Ministers Ignorant.
Most Of the Protestant ministers IN
the country districts down there are
very ignorant. They have adopted the
vilest, meanest and most contemplate
means Of turning the people against us.
They say that the Catholic clergy and
sisters are immoral. and they read
stories of this kind to their congrega-
tions from books. and say that they are
true. The ignorant people believe them.
and 1t is very hard for us to successfully
contradict such malicious attacks, as
nearly all the cases narrated in these
books are alleged to have happened In
France or Spain. or some other foreign
country.
Another idea fostered amcng the peo-
pie down there by ministers of the Prot
estant faith Is that the Catholic church
is taking possession OF the country.
Whenever we need land for church we
have to pay twenty times as much for 1t
than it is actually worth. Land which
sells for 50 and IS an acre we have to
pay as high as }25 and $50 for. Asa re-
suit Of the agitation against us, not very
long ago little chapel within five miles
of the capital OF North Carolina was
burned by fanatics.
Emulating St. Patrick.
I'VE are doing the same work in North
Carolina that st. Patrick did in Ireland
and which st. Boniface performed in
Germany. We will not rest, but 20 on
cheerfully. and with the help Of the
Lord We will bring our brethren Of other
beliefs into the fold of the Catholic
church."
The Rev. DR.. Stafford celebrated mass.

ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS.
Tells why He Reappointed Byrne In
Delaware.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The following
statement was given out at the White
House this afternoon:
ION his return to Washington the
President found that some misappre-
hension existed as to the reappointment
of the United States attorney for Del
aware, and authorizes the following
statement regarding it:
Mr.. Byrne was originally appointed
United States attorney for Delaware
by President Mckinley. President
Roosevelt knew bim personally. In the
opinion of the President he had rem
dered excellent service for the public
good in more than one direction, and
he had been staunch supporter of the
President when he ran for Governor,
and afterwards. He was reported by
the Department of Justice as a 70 and
competent district attorney; and the
President had entire confidence in his
ability and integrity.
He accepted the nomination for Con-
gress. Other district attorneys and
marshals had accepted such nominal
tions without being required to resign
but in view of the. factional fight In
Delaware, the President thought that
Mr.. Byrne should resign, which he ac-
cor6lingly did. When the election was
over the President reappointed him
without having given him the slightest
previous indication that such was his
intention. He would have been reap
pointed without regard to the circum.
stances under which he ran. or the fac.
ton with which he was allied

debate the House of Commons to-day
passed a resolution approving the ac-
ton of the British government in sign
ing the Brussels sugar convention. by
213 votes to 1856.
The House itself and the public gall

to South Africa Nov. rs. was the CEN
ter of attraction. and he made the
speech of the evening.
The possible attitude of the United

tered largely into the debate. Thomas
Shaw, Liberal, maintained that in or
der to live up to the terms of the con-
vention, Great Britain would be COM
PEELED to enforce the countervailing
duties against the United States and
Russia with the result that the West
Indies would be robbed OF their best
customer.
Mr.. Chamberlain. who on rising to
make his last speech prior to his South
African trip. was loudly cheered. said
that Great Britain must carry out its
