The Choral-Symphony Society has Just
opened its subscription books for the COM
ing season and made the preliminary an
nouncement of its plans.
While they are not materially different
from some preceding seasons. there is one
decided Innovation which will be watched
with the keenest interest by those who
have worked SO long and earnestly for the
society.
At the election of officers held a few
weeks ago, Mrs. John T. Davis was elected
president-the first time in the history Of
the society that such thing has occurred
and Mrs. Philip N. Moore was elected
chairman Of the Executive Committee. II
the society enjoys a successful season-and
at present there seems no reason to doubt
that II. wiil-the credit will be due to the
women rather than to the men OF the or
ganization.
The reason for making this change Is
that those who have usually looked after
its affairs are now busy with Worlds Fair
matters and have not the time to devote
to the society and its finances.
The other officers elected were: Jordan
W.. Lambert, vice president; Harry ]. Wal
ker, secretary. and Alfred Ernst, con-
ductor.
The plans so far perfected provide for
six concerts. the popular concerts having
been abandoned this year because of the
many other attractions Of the Worlds Fair
season. This is one reason for the early
opening Of the books. The management
announces that 1t will make distinction
iii favor Of last years patrons; that 1t will
give them the preference. in the selection
Of seats to this extent, that old subscribe
ers may have the same seats that they did
last year II they SO desire.
The dates of the six concerts are as fol-
lows: November q and December Is. 1903,
and January q. February Is. March Is and
April /, 1901. It will be noted that the Gates
occur on Friday, the change being due to
the fact that the Odeon has been leased
to the German Theater Company for every
Thursday evening for the entire season.
The plans provide that three Of the con-
certs shall be symphony and three choral,
of the latter the one on Christmas night
being the usual performance OF THE Mes
ssh," while the one other will consist Of
two notable numbers, The Swan and tho

An old Iowa practitioner, a lawyer Of
ability and an orator of known reputa-
ton, was pitted against a recent grad
uate in the profession in the trial of a
case before jury. The young lawyer
had the first say, and In making his
address to the jury he took particular
pains to initiate certain mannerisms Of
the older lawyer He carefully adjust
ed his cuffs before beginning his argu-
ment, stroked an imaginary imperial
Oh his chin and then rested the index
finger Of his right hand along the side
of his nose. These were the habltual
preliminary mannerisms OF the older
lawyer, and as they were repeated
several times throughout the argument
which was made by the young man
they provoked the jury and Judge to
laughter.
When the veteran arose to make re-
ply he did not neglect to 10 through
his preliminary motions with even
more deliberation and precision than
usual. He bowed to the Judge and to
the jury and then began:
Gentlemen Of the jury and your
honorable sir. that young man acts like
a good lawyer. but he talks like a
blamed fool"
The advantage which the young man
thought he had gained In the contest
vanished In the roar OF laughter which
followed at his expense.

Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajanua, the
Trajan Of Roman biography and one
OF Rome's most renowned emperora,
constructed or was responsible for the
construction Of three of the most re-
markable works of the early years of
the Christian era-Trajan's column,
Trajan's wall and TraJans foating
palace. History is full OF accounts
concerning the two former, but the last
seems to have been pretty generally
overlooked by the early as well as the
later cleaners of rare and curious In
formation. The monk Bartemius who
mentions 1t in his "Ecclesiusto," says
that 1t was constructed and purposely
sunken In Lake Nemi, an arch tunnel
allowing communication with the
shore. In this case 1t would certainly
have gone into history as "Trajan's
sunken palace" instead Of floating
palace"
It Is generally believed, Bartemius to
the contrary, that 1t was originally an
imperial palace intended for the use of
the emperor and his family during their
summer excursions on Lake Nemi.
Another faction of antiquarians are Of
the opinion that 1t was not built dur
ing the lifetime of Trajan. Southwick
says that II was sunk in the year 1876
A. d., seventy eight years after the
death Of the emperor for which 1t was
named. march,, who explored 1t in a
diving suit on July 10. 1886, declared 1t
to be In a good state Of preservat ton;
also that 1t was 900 feet long, 270 feet
in breadth and 90 feet deep.
