The Saengerbund Concert.

The Washington Saengerbund was greeted
with big audience at the National Theater
last night, on the occasion Of its second pub
lie concert this season. and its work fully
justified the applause it received. 1t first
sang three choruses Die Heimath," by
Tschirch; "Du Bist VIE Fine Bfume,"
Xander, and Bunte's ''Minnelded." Ali were
sung with good attack and phrasing, but the
setting OF Heines poem by Mr.. Henry Kan
der. the musical director of the Saengerbund,
seemed to find most favor. and at Its con-
clusfen he was presented by President
Claudy with handsome wreath of flowers
and was obliged to bow his acknowiedg-
ments again and again The bund was also
heard in Melamet's America and per-
formed its part with stirring effect There
was an orchestra of forty musicians from
the Symphony Orchestra, which played In
good form the "Resamunde" overture, by
Schubert; Handels Largo" Mr. Sol Min
ster playing the violin solo; Delibes inter
mezzo from Malta" Mossanet's Ara
gonaise" and Beriiozs "Marche Hongroise."
Besides, the orchestra played the accom-
paniments for Mrs. Cummings solo from
the Queen of Sheba' and to the anthem
America"
The soloists were Mrs Shanna Cumming,
soprano. and Leo Schulz, violoncellist. As
mas De6n Sdlu MIS-. cumming sang the TtCi-
tative and aria from Gounod's Queen of

and group of songs with piano accom-
panirnent. For her encore to her first sole
she played her own accompaniment, In
manner to indicate that she was a skilled
pianist She was well received by the au-
dience. Mr. Schulz's cello work was ex-
qu!sitely done and he excited great
amount OF enthusiasm. To Mr.. xander is
due the greatest credit for the success OF
the concert.

ROCK PRAIRIE CAVE.
Remarkable Natural Curiosity Eleven
Miles From Omaha.

'Rock Prairie cave near Omaha. Neb,
is one Of the most striking natural curios-
tiles In the country" said T. @. Cockrell
OF the western city to Star man at the
New Willard this morning. About eleven
miles from omaha out on the smooth. open
prairie, one runs across hoie In the
ground about forty feet square and ebout
sixty feet deep. At the bottom OF This
hole there are entrances to two natural
caves, leading In the opposite directions.
The caves are. so far as l can find. OF an
unknown length, although exploring par
ties have made several trips into each of
them. The cave running In a westerly d.
rectdon is the most easy OF access. The
entrance leads into room fifty fest square.
where the. stiffness Is intense. But in the
eastern cave a rush OF water like the roar
of cannon can be heard at all times, and
persons OF q tlmid nature cannot be per-
suaded to enter. Those more yenturesome
have made Investigations that developed
that from the entrance a passage extends.
slantfng down. hundreds OF feet on which
person must slide lying at fun length In
order to reach a passage where a man can
stand erect. Once In this passage persons
have found a stream of rapidly running
water from a depth OF eight TO thirty feet.
and which has been trayersed by the use
of a Boat, but none has been found who
had investigated the stream to the end. al
though the effort has been made by sew
eral
THE chambers are beautifully adorned
with stalactites and stalagmites."

VANDALISM AT PRINCETON.
Bronze Lion on Nassau Hall Steps Be
headed by Graduates.

A special to the New York Times from
Princeton, N. j., yesterday says: One Of
the big bronze lions which guard the en-
trance to- historic Nassau Hall was SO bad
ly disfigured last night as to render ina
possible any satisfactory repair. A group
Of young graduates and a contingent Of
upper classmen met together on the steps
at a late hour to sing their class songs and
to have an informal celebration. as has
been the time-honored custom upon the re-
turn of alumni. A too-enthusiastic celebra-
ton along this line by the singers last
night accounts for the destruction of the
bronze Hon. symbol OF the house Of Mas
sau from which Nassau Hall derived its
name.
In the jollification that took place during
the singing some unnecessary roughness
was in order. and the harmless inanimate
king was beheaded and otherwise badly
mutilated. The collerge protector this
ported the accident to President Wilson,
who expressed deep regret over the af-
fair. The undergraduates were greatly in
dtgnant today, and charge the parties re-
sponsibl8 for the accident with being too
careless In their actions during their cele-
brations.
Still greater Significance Is attached to
the demolition Of the lion, since 1t was the
class OF 10, OF which President Wilson is
a member, that presented the Hons to the
university. While no official action has
yet been taken, orders will doubtless be
given tomorrow for the erection Of new
lion.
Ceincident with the mutilation of the lion
on the steps OF Nassau Hall piece of van
dalism was committed on the new gym
nasium last night, about 500 damage be-
ing done to winding staircase. The per-
petrators have not been detected.
