THE PEOPLES CHORAL UNION

THE PEOPLES CHORAL UNION.
 The executive committee of the Peo- ple's Choral union would like, at the close of the second season of active work by this organization, to express their gratitude and appreciation to CO., workers who have done so much to make the year successful Mir. William E. Haesche, as conductor, has won the affection and respect of his singers as this new society.
 These few words express the senti- ment of the entire chorus of each and every officer of the Choral union.
 Next to MT. Haesche comes his right hand man." Harry Whitaker Yale '06, as accompanist.
 AS volunteer two years ago with MT. Haesche, MT. Whitaker started with the very first rally" and has certainly deserved the success.
 MT. William F. Brown has been a great worker in the sight reading class es, which have been held under the management of the Peoples Choral union.
 Each Tuesday night at Steinert's hall. which was given by Mir. Rudolph Steinert for this purpose, MT. Brown had been preparing the students foi admission next season under MT. Haesche's baton.
 MT. Brown has also had charge of the sight reading classes in the normal schools in this city, and has most gene rously shared many hours to make this fundamental and important branch in any musical organization successful.
 MT. Hurlburt and the stockholders of Masonic Hall, on Chapel street, have been most considerate in making the rental of the hall to fall within the lim- its of the treasury, showing the some good will and kindness of purpose that prompted Mir. Bretzfelder to allow the use of Music Hall in Court street at re- duced rates: and the New Haven Deco rating company to give bunting and flags for decorations.
 Universal thoughtfulness and gene rosity to assist the Peoples Choral un- ion has been most noticeable by the press. musicians, reporters and the community at large.
 Very gratefully the executive officers beg to acknowledge their appreciation Mrs. Frank Chamberlain Porter, Miss M. H. Wurtz, Mrs. H. Grant Thomp- son, Mrs. George B. Martin, Mrs Ar thur E. Morrill,, Mrs. Henry F. Eng. fish, Mrs George L. Dickerman and pr. George Dwight Kellogg.

Nothing could be more preposterous
than the attempt of Messrs. MITCHELL
and GoMPERs to confuse the public mind
by asserting that the application Of the
boycott to employers or non-unionist
workers is rs defensible as the course
pursued by Christian churches in re-
fusing membership to those persons who
fail to comply with certain prescribed
conditions. A church by withholding
membership from an applicant does not
Illustrate or trammel his exercise of the

Nosuch absurd analogy as Mr.. MITCHELL

in court Of justice or by intelligent law
makers. II is we'll known that boycott
jurists to be a violation OF the common
law. 1t is we'll, however, that the crime
should be defined and punished by
statute, and We hope to see tho example
of Wisconsin and Alabama followed
quickly by other States. Nor do we
for moment doubt that the constitu-
tonality Of the Wisconsin anti-boycott-
ing law will be upheld by the highest

CONFERENCE or p. f. BISHOPS.
Missionary Work AmOn9 the Indians and
the Divorce Question Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Dot. 2S.-After to-days
secret session OF the Pan-Amercan Con
gress OF Bishops Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. the subject taken up was work
among the Indians, and papers were read
by Bishop Hare Of South Dakota, who
has been for many years especially devoted
to this difficult phase of missionary work
and by Bishop Pinkham OF Calgary. whose
diocese contains large numbers OF Christian
Indians, and who has been largely en-
gagged in the successful work OF the grea,
English missionary societies on behalf OF
the Indians OF northwest British America.
Resolutions expressing the interest of
the conference in the work Of Christian
missionaries among the Indians we're re-
ferred to a committee. that certain add
tons suggested might be incorporated.
and a committee was ordered to report
at a later session.
The order OF the day being the general
subject Of the obligation of the Church
to maintain the Christian family In its
integrity, papers were read upon Divorce
and Unlawful Marriage" by Bishop Doane
Of Albany and the Bishop OF Toronto
The question Of divorce and remarriage
brought about an earnest discussion, and
the majority Of the Bishops present are
understood to have declared against re-
marriage.
Bishop Doane read paper on divorce
In which he declared that marriage was
unlawful for any divorced man or woman
while the former husband and wife was
still alive. Separation In bed and board
alone, he commended, should be granted
to persons unhappily married.
