FAMED SINGING goYs o. IENA.
ougrowth Of Age CT sacchsntes Or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds Of years ago the streets
Of Jena and other German towns used
to echo to the songs Of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
singing and begging aims, Their ex-
ample was followed by bands Of poor
students known as Bacchantes. These
Bacchantes wandered from one uni
yersity TO another in search of better
instruction or better means Of sup
port Such a wandering life was ia
vored by the customs of times when
people thought It virtue to give free
" to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skirmishers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger slxirmisher had to wait
upon his Bacchante, beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most part
he was very tyrannically used. But
as he was a waif without other protec-
tion he had to make the best Of mat
ters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from churches, but
also were assisted by private sub
scriptions 1t was their duty to sing
not only In the churches, but before
the houses of their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased to be beggars MAJ
tin Luther himself as a boy had been
one of these singers, and it was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom of begging entirely passed
away. There is a famous picture of
Luther as singing boy in Eisenach
where his song attracted the attention
of the good Frau Gotta, who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom Of the
choir boys singing from house to
house is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
OF the historic castle of the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 of the Jena sing
ing boys, five each Of the ages of II,
IL, 13 and IA years. They are or
phans, and the only qualifications for
the privilege Of four years board and
schooling are good character, ability /
to sing and obedience to the laws of /
the organization one of which re- /
qures them to sing before the houses

Some time after nine o'clock on Sun

PREACHERS DIFFER
ON REVIVAL

The effect of the Billy Sunday
revival is being felt in a material
way in the churches, and many
who came forward at the revival
have applied for admission to the
churches. The First M. f. church
is in the lead, with $50 new mem.
bers to date. number of whom
are those who belonged to the
church in other cities and have
taken out their cards in Spokane.
Most of the Protestant churches
in the city claim they have in
creased their membership as a re-
suit of the revival and will be
busy taking care of the converts.
There is a decided variance of
opinion as to the efficacy of the
revival. Father 0, A. Worthing of
Holy Trinity Episcopal church. de-
clares not single new member

revival, and he has not been in
