Salaries and the number of players
for classes C and d will be settled to-
day. Although the committee on re-
vision of the constitution had prepared
favorable report upon the question of
appointing a representative of the mi

resolution did not come up, but was

will pass unanimously, and probably
j. H. Farrell, secretary of the National
Association, will become member of
the National Commission.
Garry Hermann opened his mouth
and heart to the convention for five
minutes yesterday and after telling
the members how glad he was to be
present, said in part:

slough CHOIR LOFT TO Grow
Room for Four Hundred More Will Be
Made on Platform by Building
of Additions

Because of state laws it has been
found impossible to enlarge the Slough
tabernacle. although the increased at.
tendance calls for some such step. 1t
had been suggested that the side to
ward State street be extended, but that
is altogether impracticable under the
laws.
At meeting of the executive com
mittee last night it was decided that
the only solution of the problem is to
extend the choir platform on both sides.
Lumber was ATTAINED for the purpose
to-day, and the work will be done to
morrow morning, so that the extra spac q
will be available at tomorrow even
ing's service.
The choir loft now seats about 1900,
and the additions will accommodate
400 more, 200 on each side. The ad-
dtons to the loft will be built over
against the rooms on the right and left,
covering the areas now open. The en-
frances on the sides from North street
will not be closed. There will be tun-
nel-like passages leading from them, un-
der the choir loft.

AT dinner one evening a discussion
arose about the peculiar customs in
foreign countries. One gentleman told
of the Chinese customs, which are
nearly all the exact reverse of our own.
''They use white for mourning, black
for rejoicing and mourn at a birth
while they rejoice at death, he re-
marked. ''The needle of their com
pass points to the south, and they draw
the saw toward them to cut. These
customs may easily be accounted for,
but there remains one which | cannot
explain. Why do they take their soup
at the end of the meal instead of at the
beginning?'
