their singing was a treat to the lovers of
high-class music.

The twenty-fourth season of the Bischoff
concerts was inaugurated last night at the
First Congregational Church, which was
completely filled, Notwithstanding the in
clement weather. The chief attraction was
Clarence Eddy, the eminent organist, who
played program that was attractive and
who convinced every one present of his
mastery of the instrument upon which he
has made such high reputation, both in
this country and in Europe. 1t is not only
Mr.. Eddy's manual deterity and his skill
in pedaling, but he has such a complete
knowledge of the combination of stops that
he brings an expression, volume, and,
when needed, a power, out of the organ
that places him above other performers on
that instrument. He was assisted by Mrs.
Elsie Bond Bischoff, whose fine colorature

La Perle du Brazil" She later gave a
group of songs by VIM. Gericke, the leader
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which

ASK FOR REINSTATEMENT.
Organization Expelled Renews Rela-
lions With Central Labor Union.

What was regarded as the most important
transaction at the meeting of the Central
Labor Union last night at Costellos Hall,
9th and G streets northwest, was the
presentation of an application from the To-
cal union of Plumbers, Gas Filters, Steam
Filters and Steam Filters Helpers for re-
instatement in the central body, from which
it was expelled some time ago.
The cause OF the expulsion is said to have
been due to the refusal of the union to
affiliate with 'the Council Of Allied Build
ing Trades. The plumbers and others in
their application for reinstatement, express
their willingness to become connected with
The council.
The proposition. after being generally
discussed, was laid over until next Mol.-
day night to afford the plumbers an oppor-
tunity to make application for reinstate
ment in the Council of Allied Building
Trades. which Is announced to hold meet
ing this evening.
