Mortified, Mimi, May 13.-The sec

en- June - and ID, in connection with
the commencement festivities. The first
of these festivals was given May II

The festival Of last year proved to be
a splendid advertisement for the music

the attendance has been not only larger
but made up of a large number Of well
advanced students. This has given a
great impetus to the chorus and band
work of the institution and the public
will have the opportunity of judging
of the improvement at the coming festi
val. "4-"r ~,.
The Choral Union began the study
of Handel's "Messiah' - early last fall
and at the end of the fall semester
gave a concert made up Of choruses OF
the "Messiah and secular compost
tions. The union proposes to present
the "Messiah' in June in full, giving
IS choruses with the usual solo work

Charcoal is remedy that the more

drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present IN
the stomach and lntestlnes, and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.

more than fifty years. During the sum-
mer Of 1900 they visited upon invitation
the great exposition at Paris and sang
at the Trocadero palace to an audience Of
1000, including several Minneapolis
people. On the occas sion the program had
been selected from the compositions of
living Norwegian composers, and each
number was conducted by it's own COM

seems to be there. It is the delight in
the delusion of having experienced dan

TO SING DELPHIC HYMNS

Classical Chorus Will Be a Senior Class
Play Feature.
The ancient ''Delphic Hymn to Apol-
To- will be rendered for the first time in
America by chorus at the performance
of the university senior class play, Sat-
urday afternoon, May q.
chorus of youths and maidens attired
in the costume Of ancient Greece, singing
in Greek, will render this ancient hymn
in the .'Masque of the Old MAN, which
follows the class play proper. Heretofore,
so far as can be learned, the beautiful
Greek music has been produced in Paris
and Athens and nowhere else. 1t has
been arranged for the orchestra by Mr..
Kelsey expressly for the university pro-
duction and it's rendition is awaited with
interest by students of the ancients.
Two pieces Of music have been i'm
ported direct from Germany for the class
play. These have never been rendered in
public here and the theme of one Of them
is of especial beauty and dominates q
large part Of the musical performance
There is also an old English song that
has been secured and will have its ini-
tial rendition by senior chorus.

boat bounds clear and then comes a
series Of plunges, which gradually ,di-
minish until the boat glides smoothly
on the surface to the other end of the
lake.
The Old Mill gives diverting boat
ride. A picturesque front represents
an old mill, with its water wheels play
ing in a racing current. The passen-
gers embark in boats that glide into
q narrow canal, which follows a tor
tuous course along Kaleidoscope Wis
tas. The journey takes them thru sub
terranean caverns and along panoramic
scenery that represents every cline
from pole to equator. Occasionally the
beat shoots downward as if passing
rapids, turns sharply around unexpect
ed corners, and finally makes a com
plete loop, which leads to the return
journey.
Milder thrills are found in score OF
other cOntriVances.
