CHOIR FESTIVAL.
ChcRmaslsr Wilkinson sud 81. Asne's
Choir al Their Best 4 Dayeus Ap-
preciasive Congregation Of

The we'll established reputation OF
Mr. Wilkinson's recital work aud his
choir brought goodly number Of PEG.
pie to the Choir Festival at st. Anne 4
Church last evening. The .hoir had
been excused from daty for the regu-
lar evening service at 4:s0 p. N. aud
assembled for their festival az halt
past seven.
From the first note of the process
sional hymn to the amen which closed
the service, there was nothing to
criticise unfavorably and much to
commend After a very brief open.
ing choral service, Mr.. G. A. r.
wilkinson, Eel. T. Col Mus, played
Beethoyen's overture t Egmont and
following this q pastoral by C..
Franek. Mr. Wilkinson interprs-
tation was skillful, artistic and
exact His choir then sang Gounod s
motel "Gallia.
This Is now the third time this
me tet has been sung by st. Anne's
choir, and each time better thsn the
last. The two soprano solos were
taken by Master George Sullivan and
Master Henry Walk. Each did his
work excellently and in his own way.
The choir sustained well the difficult
ties of the contrapuntFl music, and
the technique of these two boys was
equal 70 the requir sments Of this
most technical composition. The ac-
compartment, which is q peculiarly
eXacting part of the motel. was the
delight OF all instrumentlists.
Mr.. Wilkinson followed "Gsllia"
with Claimants Lamentation,
leaving no doubt in the minds Of al
that these two compositions should
never be given separately, bat To-
gether. All the sorrows OF tbs peo-
pie, whom Gounod and Guilmant bal
in mind, were wildly brought 60
the hearts Of those who heard this
music, and the appeal to turn 10
God was as the trumpet call of
an evangelist. 1t was the kini Of
music which makes better men Of
us when we hear it.
During the collection the choir sang
Gounod's anthem Come Unto
Him." and the organist followed il
with a composition by Raehmani-
noH The wierd walls OF the Russian
folk singing and almost barbarous
Joy Of their religious feryor were H.
lustrated by this organ solo rs Mr..
Wilkinson rendered it. He Is truly a
skillful Interpreter Of the works Of
great composers as be is successful
trainer of boys voice. and an eff
cient ehoirmsster
Comparisons are unne ceesary, but
St. Anne's has never had such excel
lent music as now, and Annapolis is
fortuate to have such standard Of
artistic, spiritual work in our midst
During March another choir festival
win be given, on The evening Of mid
Lent sunday The music viii be

twenty month old baby. Sylvia. found
q piece Of bread. spread with rat

was hurried there. Mrs. Davis ID
said TO have tried to jump from the
window to the street after the child

leap from the window. Mccarthy,
who had locked her up primarily to
kSsp her under restraint, would not
press the charge and Magistrate Dodd
released her in the custody Of proba-
ton oficer.

stitutionaI Leader.

look the position on Thursday that
Tor the United States to send martinez
or armed forces of any kind into
Mexico without the consent of the gov
erning authorities there would be an
act of war. He emphatically asserted

al Carranza, and indicated no request
OF that character would be made in
the near future. The president an.
nounced, too, that no change in the

British subject recently executed at
Juarez, and concerning published dis
patches that the United States con-
templated sending marines to Mexico
City to guard the American embassy.
