WILL SING FOR
FIRST PRIZE
Delaware Saengerbund Has
Decided to Take Part III
National Saengerfest
MEMBERS CONFIDENT OF WINNING

From Now on Until June, Vixen the
Event viii Be Held at Baltimore,
Numerous RehearsaIs viii Be
Held.
The Delaware saongcrhund has decided
to enter the second class prize singing
contest at the National saengcrfest to be
held at Baltimore next June.
About sixty members Of the organization
attended a special rehearsal held at Ger
man naal last Sunday at which Professor
G. A. Hartmann, tho efficient leader OF
the organization was present. Although
1t had been decided TO take pant In tho
Saengcrfcst there were few sccpdcs VINO
appeared to be afraid 20 enter into tho
contest and expressed themselves 20 this
effect after 1.-THE rehearsal.
Tho general opinion OF the members.
however, was that tho organization should
take part IN the event and sing for a prize
| i'm the second class even d defeat should
be their lot. Professor HAuimann, who Is
the leader of several other singing soci-
etes that viii take part in the Saonger-
fest VIII not be held responsible by tho
members OF the local association should
Il fail to land a prize. a.O-a
This opinion is shared not only BY the
majority OF tho active members of the
Delaware Saengerbund, but by all lovers
OF music in Wilmington.
The organization has a large member
ship Including some of the best local tai-
ent who take aciive interest in the re-
hcarsals. Not only can this be said of the
Germans. but Of the American members
as well.
The Sacngcrbund has placed itself on
The top OF All male singing societies in this
city by dlhgent work. and IT Is therefore
the wish Of an music loving people in Will
mlngton that the society shall compete IA
the cunning event at Baltimore
The organization won first prize in the
thlrd class contest at the Philadelphia
saengerfest, held a few years ago. but
now that the membership has almost
doubled since then and the ability of the
Society greatly improved try win bt
made IN the second class prize.

How to Care for the Feet

Battle them frequently, and massage them
a few minutes afterwards. If they have
a tendency ito perspire freely and are very
tender add a little salt and alum to the
water in which you bathe them before re-
tiring.
The most important point Is to own two
or three pairs of shoes, and to wear them
in rotation. By so doing great relief IS
secured the sore feet. And is It not
worth while to thus adjure at a time of
year when we all feel that we must be in
the fashion whatever the cost. Yes, we
will do our duty. Never, we repeat, allow
yourself to be beguiled into buying a shoe
too narrow, too short, too high heeled
for the free exercise OF the muscles in
walking

Walking is Good Exercise

Walking is the simplest, the most
natural and the most wholesome of all
exercises. No athlete ever trains for a
contest, no matter what its nature may
be, without walking a considerable dis
taRce in the open air each day. Many
keep in vigorous health by this alone,
end, no matter what other exercise you
take, you must walk. But, first Of all,
learn how to walk. A great many peo-.
pie walk in an aimless, shuffling man
ner, and secure but little benefit from
the exercise In walking for exercise,
the effect is better if the mind is di-
rected toward a pleasureaible end. walk
with consciously directed movements

DON This pastoral comedy drama is
decided departure from anything that
is familiar in the authors previous
dramatic works and strikes Off in an
entirely new direction, and deals as the
title suggests, with country life and
characters one ordinarily meets in In
diana villages. The play has met with
immediate and enormous favor, break
ing house records nearly everywhere
and the management has been COM
PEELED to many times change the route
to play return dates. Much of the sue
cess Of the play is due to the original
conception Of the title role by that
clever young comedienne. Bessie Cliff

gawky, good-hearted poorhouse waif,
and her subsequent rise to the polished
young lady places her at the very

Passing of the Bicycle.

Inter Ocean; There were 300 BIZ
cycle factories in the United States
IN 1885 They produced annually 800
600 machines. These machines cost
the ushers $37 100000 each year, and
the supply was not equal to the de-
maud.
Nearly 100000 bicycles were manu-
featured in 1896, but the price de-
clined 40 per cent in the next two or
three years and the supply was in
excess OF the demand
In 1898 the membership of the
League of American Wheelman was
| 10000; il is now $3.50. In 1898 there
were in the United States fifty news
pap devoted to cycling; now there
is only one.
Five years ago our boulevards and
purkways were crowded with bicy-
Gle riders; last summer there were
comparatively Jews on streets or
bonlepards. Five years ago to be
fashionable was to ride a wheel last
summer TO ride wheel was unfash-
iouable. The bicycle has fallen from
its high popularity. Wheeling has
ceased to be hobby, and ranks sim

the capital invested in bicycle fac.
tories has been turned into other
channels. The -'l of wheels are
not oue.twentieth o., Iarge as in 1898,
and the membership of the league
has declined in the same proportion.
There were twenty bicycle stores
in Chicago in 1858 where there is
now one. OF the many bicycle clubs
in 1895 only one maintains its organ.
iaatjon now The local sales Of
wheels declined 30 per cent in five
years.
