oratorio Society silver Jubilee.

Baltimore, Nd. April 26.-To cele-
brate the twenty.ffth anniversary Of
the formation OF tho Oratorio Society
of Baltimore will take the form Of a
grand choral concert tonight, when Ho.
ratio Parker's "Hora Novissima" {"
and Liszt's "Thirteenth Psalm" will
be performed.
In December, 1880, a number Of citi.
zens met TO discuss the plan Of form
ing choral organization for the pur-
pose Of presenting the masterpieces Of
the great composers, chiefly oratorios
and other choral works. A board Of
directors was elected and Mr.. Fritz
Finke was made the conductor. He
held that position for about fifteen
years, when he was succeeded by Mr..
Joseph Pache. who Is now director of
the society.
The first performance by the Ora.
torio society was given on May 12,
1881. 1t was given In the armory Of
the Fifth regiment, and Haendel's
Messiah" was selected for that oc.
casion The chorus of tho society at
the first concert consisted Of 750
voices and the concert proved a re.
markable success. In the following
year the society was invited to New
York to cooperate with the oratorio
societies of that city and Brooklyn in
singing Haendel's "Israel In Egypt"
The next year the society became
even more ambitious and arranged
grand musical festival under the direc.
tion Of Theodore Thomas and with
full orchestra and several soloists,
among them Madame Materna. In the
spring Of 1885 the society gave a
grand musical festival NtieA lasted

the best choral compositions at Its
concerts and has won an enviable rep

efforts to the best there is in music.

Art Life In Florence.

The art life in Florence has been re.
vivitied by the invigorating breeze
brought in upon 1t by the appointment
of the distinguished art scholar, Cor.
rado Ricci, to be the chief director of
the two local galleries. The first and
most important task awaiting him was
the highly necessary rearrangement OF
the Ufizi. Owing to the peculiarities
Of the rooms of this gallery, the work
could only be carried out very slowly
since 1t was requisite TO avoid closing
numerous sections of the collection
for any length Of time. Still the hall
of Lorenzo Monaco and that of the
Birth of Venus (by Botticelli) have
been ready for some time. Now the
chambers of the Florentine Quattro.
eento have experienced at least a pro.
yisional rearrangement. The most
brilliant feature of this section Of the
collection is the spacious and lofty

bring forth a large yield this year
The increase in acreage in our country
amounts to about 10 per cent, which in
itself is sufficient to make some differ
ence in the market"
Mr.. Pincus also stated that the brew.
ers were all overstocked with hops.
Some of them had enough on hand to
last five years. In fact. he said, that
nearly all of the 1904 crop was now in
the hands of the brewers.
In Yakima county there will be in
hops this year approximately 5000
acres and the yield will aggregate 30,.
600 bales as against $4,000 bales the
year before. The local buyers seem to
think that hops will not bring more

THOSE EXTENDED FINGERS
Popular Misconception Of Long
Standing at Last Cleared
Up.

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded
as an affectation of gentility, as found
in the manner Of holding drinking
glass when drinking from 1t, is not
an affectation at all but really an un.
conscious automatic act, says the New
York Sun.
This supposed affectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fin
gers of the hand clear of the glass
when it is lifted and tipped forward
with its brim to the lips and while
the glass is held there In the act of
drinking. No doubt it would common
ly be considered that people do this
for the sake of greater elegance, or
at least from an instructive desire tc
give to the hand such an appearance,
which it would not possess If they
closed the entire hand around the
glass-if they clutched it, so to speak,
manner of holding that would seem
to SAVIOR of rudeness.
But this observers says that really
people hold those two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that Is
the way that is most convenient. II,
he says, a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug.
ly around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass so held re.
CURED more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fin.
gers would then be called into use.
Whereas If the person drinking holds
the glass between the thumb and the
first two fingers he not only relieves
entirely the tension on the muscles
of the two other fingers, but also in a
way he pivots the glass and makes 1t
easier to tip ON that account. Thus
the separation of the two fingers from
the glass is perfectly natural act
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play of rings adjoining them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
our fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass, in clear view of all, we may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
or curves of greater grace, and so he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas.
ure; but his point is that in its origi-
nal inception and in its practice by
the many the elevation Of these two
fingers is not an affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic.
