TWO THOUSAND VOICES IN
CHORUS CHRISTMAS EVE
Will Be Supplemented by Soloist and
Orchestra of Seventy Pieces.

New York.-The New York Commu-

Harry Barnhart. will try TO have al
most all New York sing on Christmas
eve. There will be Christmas songs
around the Christmas tree In Madison
square, and later the chorus and as
many other people as the place can
hold will fill Madison Square Garden
and sing Handles Messiah"
The chorus probably wifi contain be-
tween 1900 and 1000 persons, who
have been practicing the oratorio for
two months. They will be supple
mented by a soloist and an orchestra
of seventy pieces.
Mr.. Barnhart, who, with Arthur Far

Brice, the treasurer, and Claude Brag-
don, the architect and the creator OF
the Light" half Of Song and Light"
was impressed first by the national in
eptitude for music. When listening to
a band concert In a park at Rochester
he suddenly was struck by the idea
that the mute and enchanted crowd
would be glad to sing IL they had only
the opportunity and training.
To fill this need he organized a com
munity chorus In Rochester and later
a smaller one at Lyons, N. Y. 1t was

SEVEN THOUSAND MILE
VOYAGE IS MADE BY TUG
Mistaken a Dozen Times For Sub

Atlantic.

New York.-A remarkable sea voy-
age of 1000 miles, from Dordrecht,
Holland, to Tampico, Mexico. in n tug
boat but sixty feet in length. with a
draft of three feet. has just been COM
pleted by a crew of men under the
leadership of Captain III. Waltaker.
Captain Waltaker and his crew, of
whom one was +. NJ. Eden, a young
artist of Amsterdam, who made the
trip to satisfy a longing for adventure,
started home on the steamship Nieuw
Amsterdam.
The voyage required eighty-four days
time and was made doubly hazardous
by the fact that the tug could carry
only twenty-seven IONS of coal. FIRE.
quent attempts TO stop passing vessels
to replenish the bankers failed. Each
time the presence of the small boat In
the path of a steamship would send the
vessel zigzagging away in the belief
that the tug might be a disguised sub
marine.
I'VE were taken for a submarine a
dozen times during the trip" said Mr..
Eden, "and each time the vessel took
to flight and we could not catch her.
although we were badly in need OF
coal and provisions"
The tug was the Fuerta, built by the
Corona Oil company i'm its shipyards
i'm Holland for use in towing oil barges
in the Panuco river. In ordinary cir
camstances the tug would have been
transported dashed to a ships deck, but
the freight rate demanded was deemed
exorbitant, and Captain Waltaker was
selected to make the voyage with the
tug under her own power.

FIRE LOSS
Rapid City Department Store Dam
aged by Fire.

Rapid City. Dec. Fire in the
Tom Sweeney Hardware company's
department store here did damage
totaling about $4,000 to the stock
and building and fixtures. As ear
al can be learned, an electric flatiron
left turned on at quitting time at
night, was responsible for the con-
flagration. 1t had been smoldering
all night and was discovered in the
morning. There was a stock valued
at $4,000 contained in the part
burned and this was insured for
$1,000. 1t is practically a total loss.
The building was insured for $4,000
and it is thought about $4,000 worth
of damage was done to that.

this city, commencing what is the
first election contest ever fought in
the county. Dobson, republican can
didate for auditor, was defeated by
b. H. L~indekugel. of Farmer, demo-
cratic candidate. by three votes. In
his complaint, Dobson makes a gen.
eral charge that in each precinct bal
lots were counted which bore identi-
fication marks. He makes direct
charges on several counts that New
ton Trent was refused a ballot which
would have entitled him to vote by
mail from an eastern city for which
he was departing; that L~indkugel
spent money in his campaign in a
manner contrary to the election laws.
and that in Jasper township discrep-
ancies in the county were adjusted
without verifying by recount. a
