Cantata Postponed.

Yesterday afternoon the sacred can
tata, "The Crucifiixon' was interrupt
ed during its rendition by an accident
TO the organ. The Rector of ST. Anne 5
held hasty consultation with the
choir as TO the possibility OF repeat
ing il this week. He announced 10
the congregation that it would be re-
peated Wednesday evening. Since he
has learned that five members of the
choir cannot be present Wednesday p;
nor can any date near AT hand be
fixed upon. For the present, because
Of the convenience of the several
parties concerned, the rendering OF
the cantata must be postponed.
The accident which happened to the
organ was the displacement of n
shaft attached to the bellows, which
was not difficult TO replace but TO do
ii would havs kept the congregation
waiting perhaps al hour. Nothing
was left but to dismiss the people.
This was done, after the Offering had
been made and short concluding
service. The choir left the chancel
in a occasional, sung uuaccompanied
in perfect time and tone, which unex-
pected evidence of the choirs ability
has been much commented upon.
Exactly one-third of the Gao tata
had been sung when the accident oc-
Cured. The most brilliant chorus,
"Fling W ide the gates, had Just been
exquisitely sung. Mr.. Clemson and
Mr.. Peacock had done some fine solo
work. tenor solo, King ever glor-
ious'' was to follow, sung by Midship-
man Burdick. He will sing this dur
ing the oifertory, at Evening Prayer,
next Sunday afternoon, in St.
Anue's Church. An anthem, by
Gounod, There is a green hill far
away was to have been given for
the Olertory; it contains solo,
which Master Geo. Carlson, was to
have sung. This anthem will be also
sung next Sunday morning. Although
1.-The Crucifiixon'' is a cantata only
appropriately sung during Passion
tide; il is hoped that it may be given
shortly after Easter, if not before.

A HANDSOME NEW OFFICE.
Annapolis Headquarters of Postal Company
0ne Of The Best in Country.

After extensive improvements the
Postal Telegraph Company, Mr.. u. II.
Cole, manager, is again occupying its
old Office on Maryland avenue. Al
though il is the old" office, one en-
tering the apartment now would
hardly recognize the room. The con-
pany recently determined 10 remodel
its local Office and make tho Annapo-
lis branch one of the best in the coun-
try, outside Of the big metropolitan
offices.
As now improved the Office ranks with
that at Reading, Pa. as the best OF
the small offices of the company in
the United States. The action OF the
company was taken with view TO
making the Annapolis headquarters,
representative of the company. This
stand was taken in view of the fact
that persons from the whole country
come To Annapolis and more often
than not patronize this Office.
What was formerly two rooms and n
hallway has been thrown into one
large room with handsome oak coun-
ter, surmountod by attractive iron
grille work, separating the operating
department from the general publio's
room.
a NbiiANtbaAAt Nhhlt runs AANiE AhN
front of the outer Office facing the
Maryland avenue windows. 1t is
fitted with stationary racks and we'll
liz with green shaded electric lights.
In the operating room, back of tho
grille work and counter is quar-
tette" table with four resonators for
the sounding instruments and tpye-
writer attachments. This table, like
the managers desk and cuisines"
table, is of quarter sawed oak.
one of the biggest improvements from
professional standpoint Is the mod
ern switchboard. This, which rs Of
thoroughly modern pattern and mech
anism, is fitted with improved light
ming and high voltage current arresters
for the protection of the instruments
and operators in electrical storms and
similar emergencies. This board
makes possible an additional improve
ment in that no batteries are now
needed in the Office, the current being
supplied from Baltimore. The whole
room has been neatly paperol and
painted, and is thoroughly modern and
in every way attractive.

Sermon to Patriotic Order.

The Rev. George 5. Bell, pastor OF
the Presbyter Church, preached
last night, by special request, ser
mon to the Patriotic Sons of America.
About twenty members of the order

cupied the front pews in the church.
The pastor, in his opening address,
said he was glad to welcome the or
der TO his church that he had read
the constitution and bylaws of their
order, and their principles were good.
He spoke of what constituted patriot
ism and what glorious thing it was
to be a patriot, and cited several
characters of the Bible and said the
greatest patriot and teacher of the
world was Christ. A large congrega-
tion was present and paid attentive
hearing to the preachers remarks. The
choir rendered some excellent mu sic
duringsthe service.
