MUSICAL NOTES.

The presentation of "The CrucifiX-
ion" by select chorus of local sing
ers under the direction of Mr.. Wal
ter Hayson was quite a succeccfuI af-
fair. The choir of Lincoln Temple
formed the nucleus Off the chorus
which was assisted by prominent sing
ers from other choirs
The S. Coleridge Taylor Society will
doubtless be accompanied by quite a
large contingent of friends when they
go over to Baltimore November 27 to
present 'Hiawatha.'' The chorus num-
bers two hundred and about as many
others will go with them by special
train accommodations, which have
been made so that party rates may be
obtained, and this will give an oppor-
tunity to have stay in Baltimore from
Friday until Sunday evening.
The choir of the Asbury church is
preparing to present another oratorio
early during the new year. This choir
has been foremost in presenting works
of this description, and whenever spe-
cial announcement is made a rare treat
is in store.
Mrs. ]. Frank Blagburn, a soprano
singer who possesses a very sweet
voice of good range and flexibility. is
an addition to our musical circles.
She comes from Des Moines, Ia, and

Church last Sunday evening received

Mr.. w. w. Orme, of the Amphions,

police force.
Among recent acquisitions to the
Amphions are Messrs. Phil Green and
Charles Sumner Beale, both of whom
have excellent bass and barytone vol
ces, respectively. Director Lewis is
after recruits for his appearance of the
Amphions at the Worlds Fair in ST.
Louis next year. The Amphions seem
to go on and on to greater eXcellency.
The choir of the Metropolitan A
M. E. Church has been vested and it
presents an attractive appearance.
Among other good results it brings the
membership of the choir and congre-
cation to church at an earlier hour
than formerly.
The Dvoraks are to be reorganized
with a view of presenting a comic
opera at the close of the season.

tion of ''Hiawatha'' by our local organi-

MIXED THE INSTRUMENTS

MIXED THE INSTRUMENTS.
Pedestrians in a certain provincial city
recently We're much puzzled by an old
woman who was playing barrel organ.
At one end of the instrument she had
pasted this notice:
Help the Blind"
Beneath this appeared a second :,ppeal:
Il am the father of seven motherless
children
The old woman wore pair of blue
spectacles, behind which her eyes were
completely hidden.
A few streets farther on the mystery
of the inscription was cleared uD. for
there sat an old man turning music out
Of another organ as dilapidated as the
one whose faint strains could almost be
heard from up the street.
| He, too, wore glasses, and his organ
! bore this legend:
Help the Blind.''
And under it:
II am the mother Of seven fatherless
children" =
A man stepped up to him and said:
Look here, my friend, next time you
go out you had better get the right label
on your organ" .,...
The grinder must have guessed what
the error was, for, pushing the glasses
back from his eyes, he peered quickly up
and down the street as il looking for a
