CHILDRENS
Chorus At May Festival viii
Number $50
And will Be Most Attractive
Event Ever Heard In
Mt. Vernon

The getting together and compiling
of the program for the children's
night at the May Festival has reveal
ed the fact that it will probably be
the most beautiful and enjoyable Of
any production yet attempted in this
city. To he normal person there is
fascination about children and their
affairs, which is no doubt but the
lingering memories of the innocent
charm of our own childhood days.
The assembling of $50 youthful per-
sonalities in the beautiful Presbyter-
ian church will in itself be an impress
sive sight and when to this is added
the simple, beautiful music prepared
for the occasion, it is hardly to be
conceived that there is a person in
Mt. Vernon who willingly miss it..
The main feature of the evenings
program will of course be THE Fair
les Festival" in WHICH Miss Saba
Doak, beautiful and gifted Chicago
soprano, will assume the part of the
fairy queen. The parts she will sing
have been pronounced by competent
critics to be the most beautiful mus
ic ever heard in this city.
The music for any big production
Is always selected with great care,
for there is always the uncertainty its
not being pleasing when rendered.
"The Fairies Festival has more than
measured up to expectations and it's
simple beauty and harmony has ex-
cited the admiration and enthusiasm
of all the participants. The story in
song represents the gathering OF the
fairies from every quarter for their
annual festival. One little group will
herald their approach in song and
from another quarter will come an
other group and so on until all are
assembled for the magnificent Choir
us of welcome to their queen, who
sings to them of many things in the
world of fairies. The departing Choir
uses are especially beautiful.
In addition to "The Fairies Festi-
val" the children will sing 1.-THE Sol
diers' Chorus" from Faust" and the
anvil Chorus" from III Trovatore.'
Between the choruses Miss Doak will
sing three song groups for the chill
dren. That these songs will be even
more enjoyable to grown people goes
without saying. They comprise such
pieces as can Open Secret" Birth
day" "The OWL" When l Bring to
You Colored Toys" and "The Japan
ese Maiden" The complete program
will be published later.
Membership in the children's Choir
us has been under two conditions. II
is entirely voluntary and every voice
is tested and must measure to re-
auirements before being accepted. AT
the beginning, only 225. were found
acceptable. Since then others have
so improved and worked that $50 fine
voices will now participate in the
festival.
Single admission to this concert
will be soc, but when it is considered
that the children alone will interest
thousand relatives it is not likely
that the church will accommodate all
who wish to attend The only safe
plan is to secure a season ticket now
in advance of the festival.
Note particularly that this first con
cert begins promptly at 1880 on &C
count of the children. All girls III
the chorus are required to wear white
dresses and hair bows and the boys
white waists, without coats.

the Republican house on Friday voted

Talking about prosperity said Mr.
Kramer, this administration is now
voting an appropriation which eX

two million dollars. To make up the
difference the fiancial officers will

Another graft killed out in the Cox
administration has been resuscitated
the senate having this week voted
$4,000 to a Republican politician to
write laudatory history about them
selves. An attempt was made two
years ago to put across the same
stunt, but this with all other forms OF
petty graft was killed out.

Labor has gotten less legislation

BY II. Bell, Executive Secretary OF the
Englewood Board of Trade.

Il is yet too early to forecast, with
anv degree of reliability, what changes
or developments the operation Of the
Enrlewood- Dyckman Street Ferry may
bring TO Englewood and its vicinity.
That it has been the means of attract
ing many who otherwise might not
have come there can be no doubt. and
it is equally true that when a knowl-
edge Of the picturesque scenery along
the Palisades is more generally diff
fused there will be no more popular or
sought after section. II is estimated
that the average number of automo-
biles carried by the ferry IN Sundays
is about eight hundred. Such a vol
ume of traffic is good criterion of
the increasing popularity of the new
gateway between the two states. II is
understood that the ferry company in
tends building two new slips in the
early part of the ensuing year.
The road leading from the top of
East Palisade Avenue down to the En-
glewoOd ferry is a triumph of engl-
neering skill which has to be seen to
be appreciated, and is a theme of adj
miring comments by Automobiles and
pedestrians. The introduction of cleo
trio light has added much to the utll-
itv of the road and at night when Int
UP the effect is striking. The con-
struction difficulties encountered called
for the exercise of considerable in
genuity, as it was necessary to erect
line Of poles down the face of the
cliffs. by no means an easy task.
East Palisade Avenue has, since the
opening Of the ferry. become the main
artery to Englewood and has been
taken over by the county the work Of
remaking the avenue will, it is under
stood. proceed with promptness. When
completed it will be one of the finest
stretches Of road in the state, and will
materially add to the pleasures OF
Automobiles. Steady progress is be-
