 The first rehearsal of the New Haven oratorio society will occur this evening at o'clock in College street hall, near Chapel street, Professor Horatio N. Parker, of Yale university, the musical head of the society, conducting.
 A marked degree of enthusiasm has been manifested in the inception and development of this new organization, both by the university and the towns people interested in it, and when the many favoring elements are considered New Ravens musical public may well be congratulated. The first requisition for starting an organization of this kind being an able conductor and plenty of good singers out of which chorus may be formed, it might be said the society is assured of success from the start. It : IidS d hOLCO SIA bOllL 6ldSS OL the Atlantic for eminent ability and genius, who will succeed in impressing his force and Individuality on the cho- ral forces under him. It has the pow erful influence of the university behind 1t, with great hall and organ, equal to the best in the world, for concerts. And lastly, if reports be true-and there is no reason to doubt-it has wealth of good voices from which to develop magnificent chorus. Nearly four hun- dred singers applied for admission to it's ranks, and there was such vast amount of excellent material that the committee found it difficult to make a selection, and owing to the fact that the chorus at present is necessarily limited to 26O about 125 will have to, be placed on the waiting list, much to the regret of the committee. s.s.
 The chorus as now constituted. there fore, will be about as follows: Seventy sopranos, sixty-three altos, fifty tenors and eighty hasses.
 Herbert Foster, long and prominently connected with the Gounod society, has been appointed superintendent of cho- rus and will have the following division officers to assist him:
 Sopranos-E. B. Birge. #..A..
 AItos-Rey. George Foster Prentiss.
 Tenors Charles P. Cornwall. {
 Bases Thomas H. Smith.
 David Stanley Smith, of the music department of the university, has been elected pianist of the society. ...s.s
 As announced above, the rehearsal will begin as near 3 o'clock as possible, but prior to this the chorus committee will be present at College hall from 7:15 to 8 o'clock for the purpose of receiving membership fees and issuing cards of admission to members of the chorus. !, The new edition of the Messiah to be used in the rehearsa1s will be ready for distribution 10 the chorus. For these copies there will be no charge to mem bers. g @s2
 Notice is given that the public, for the present at least, will not be admit ted to these rehearsals It is possible that limited number of aescort cards" will be issued later.

YALE CHAMBER CONCERTS.
First Kneisel Quartette Concert Wed
 nesdaY EVerins

First Kneisel Quartette Concert We'd
 nesday Evening.
 Many people have the idea that chamber music is enthroned in a sane tum sanctorum into which few cul- tured musicians are admitted, but which is firmly closed to the great mass of those who merely enjoy sweet sounds. But it may be safely asserted that this kind of music Is the most accessible entrance into real appre- citation of the works Of the great conn posers of the past and the present. In the trios for piano, violin, and violora- cello, and in the string quartettes of these masters we find their most ex- alted thoughts expressed directly and forcibly. The nearer is rarely mysti- fled. The principal themes are always easily diseerned. Indistinctness4 Of har- mony and melody Is of course less like ly to be. present in a quartette of four players than in all orchestra of eighty. Works written for groups Of a few in strumentalists must of course be con- ceived on more condensed plan than grand compositions for large bodies of executants, This quality of simplicity in expression and design is the real source of the peculiar enjoyment to be derived from chafriber music. a
 The great masters revere this form of composition, for they realize the dif- ficulty of composing simply. They know that the auartette affords very little opportunity for mere display of brilliant color or grandiose effect. Gen. uine worth must be there. Fools seI- dom rush into tiifs Held of musical ac- iivity.
 In this sense then chamber music is set apart in a sanctnm sanctorurn. The average quality of the compositions which make up it's literature is far higher than that of any other class of music. There are thousands of cheap songs. oratorios, and orchestral works. but comparatively few bad quartettes or trios.
 University Chamber Concerts are arranged each season for the purpose of revealing to thepeople of New Haven these noble qualities of simplicity and repose in art. The Kneisel quartette, of whom it is needless to speak, have been secured for two concerts this fall. The series will be completed after New Years by the celebrated Adainowslxi trio. These organizations stand mid- way between the composer and the lis- tener. There is no doubt that they are thoroughly capable of fulfilling their The first Kneisel concert will be given in North Sheffield hall next Wednesday, evening. Perfect music perfectly rendered Is promised. Tickets for the concert may be had at the bur- sar's office and. at steinert's music store.

Judge Cleaveland said he made it a rule always to have the bond ample. He suggested either SS25,O00 or $S50,OOO. MT. Bryan said that would be satisfac- tory to him, and the court fixed the bond at $S50,o00.
 At the suggestion of the court, Charles Kleiner of this city was ap- pointed an appraiser. The other ap- praiser will be suggested by Judge Stoddard and MT. Bryans counsel early this week.

SMOKER FOR
FORT SILL
OFFICERS
Lawton Club Room the Scene
of Festivities
PUNCH AND HAVANAS
Senator Gore Lands the Army
and Its Heroes

Lawton, o. T., June 1S.-One Of the
most pleasant gatherings that has taken
place in Lawton for some time was the
smoker given in honor OF the officers at
Fort Sill at the Lawton club rooms The
affair was Informal but there was some
appropriate speeches as Wen as punch and
HaVanas, which are always appropriate
upon such occasions Some twenty-five
guests from Fort Sill were present in
Guiding Colonel Kingsbury in command.
Captain sayers and officers OF different
rank were present.
Senator T. P. Gore made an address
which fairly glittered with beautiful SEN
fences in praise OF the army and express
ed the good fellowship of our citizens and
their esteem for the people of the fort
Colonel Kingsbury responded to Judge
Cores remarks on the part OF the guests.
He expressed the desire OF tn people OF
the Fort to cultivate the acquaintance
of the people of Lawton. Speaking OF the
army maneuvers he stated that the mat
ter had been settled for Fort Riley this
year but he expressed a belief that the
government would find the expense there
too great, the grounds too small and
that Fort Sill might be chosen in the
future. Fort Riley only has &c, 5000 acres
Of land while Fort Sill has $500 acres
in its military reserve.
Colonel Mitchell followed Colonel
Kingsbury, but as the former had COW
cred the ground upon which he had in
tended to speak his remarks were brief.
r. A Hubbard, president Of the I-awton
-
"Lawton and the Fort" and as his re-
marks always are, they were neat and
to the point. He expressed the opinion
that much could be gained by the peo-
pie Of both places cultvating more init
mate social relations He thought as
Lawton was a new town the citizens in
a measure had neglected the social eide
and as things were better established
they would give more time in the future
to its cultivation. They certainly de-
sired to cultivate moro intimate social re-
latiOns with the people OF the fort.
J. Elmer Thomas took for his subject
Lawton and It's Future. His words were
well chosen and delivered in that splen-
did oratorical style in which Mr.. Thomas
always addresses his hearers.
Hon. D. L. Sleeper was at liberty 10
choose his own subject, so he eulogized
the army and told Of the grand achieve
mentcs in blazing the way for civilization.
Mr.. Sleeper is able as a public speaker.
After the speeches were over the time
was passed in playing billiards. pool.
cards and in social conversation. The
Lawton club is pleased at the success Of
the affair. Much good can be derived
from similar occa sions.

TAKEN AS AN ACCESSORY.
Watson Told His Story to Friend
and kc u I rnIIhle

South NcAliister, / T., June 15.-Dep-
uty Kinds has brought in T W. Watson
from Garvin charged w'-n being the &C
eessory Of Sam Cobtrain in the murder Ct
c. F. Cobstrain. Sam COFstrain's cousin.
Watson and Sam Cobstrain were en-
iEoyed upon the farm owned Ly c. 2.
Cobstrain in the extreme southeastern
part Of the territory near Tochietown,
Friday, May q, c. f. .Cobstrain disap-
peared. In answer to the inquiries of
the neighbors as to his cousins where
abouts sam Cobstrain told them that he
had bought him out and that he had left
for the West.
Later Watson told friend that c. F.
Cobstrain had not sold out, but that
Sam had murdered him and he was
buried in the woods near the house.
Deputy Kinds was notified and at once
arrested Cobstrain, who broke down and
confessed. He said that when he saw his
cousin going to a remote part Of the
farm to feed the pigs he went to the
house, got a shotgun and followed him
I'D. shooting him when he had got within
goo yards of him He said he pulled the
body into some underbrush and about
- o'clock that night he hitched up his
team and hauled the body to the woods
half a mile distant and buried it. lie
then covered the grave with brush and set
fire TO it in order to hide all traces Of
the crime He said Watson knew all about
the crime. He gave no motive for the
deed.
Watson claims that al he knows Of
the matter is what Cobstrain told him,
and he emphatica1ly denies having any
connection with the crime.
Cobstrain was tried in the commission
er's court at Garvin and was bound over
without bail. He was brought 10 the
South AIcAllister jail to await his trial
in December.
Watson was arrested in June and tried
as an accessory. He was bound over
under $50 bond in default OF which he
went to jail.

BRIDGE GIVES WAY.
Entire Train Drops Into Six Feet OF
Water.

Shawnee. 0. Il. June 1S.-As a big trac-
ton engine pulling s water and coal
tank ran onto the first bridge west Of
the Choctaw pump house, ccrossing a
small creek, a few days since, the struc-
ture- weakened by the great volume Of
water beneath gave way and the entire
outfit dropped into six feet Of water, the
engine turning over on one side, says the
Herald.
The engineer escaped without a bruise
by miracle. as the platform on which
he stood was turned up when it struck
the edge of the bridge the span not be
ing large enough to let the ponderous
machine fall straight through.
That the boiler did not explode is a
strange fact but when the machine was
pulled out of its watery quarters, scarcely
a thing could be found wrong. Kentuck
Mason, with a couple Of his house NOV
ors, lacked the engine up 70 the edge
OF the bank a distance Of six feet and
got her on solid ground.
