 Content of Alcohol

Washington. November 3.-Regulations to pave the way for the removal of alco- hol from beer for industrial purposes and conversion of the residue into soft drink were issued today by Daniel c.

After the alcohol has been removed by distillation and denatured, according to law, the residue may be piped back into the brewery without tax payment to be made into soft drinks.

Wildwood Chorus
Announces SOlOiSt
Mary Barrett Will be Soloist at the
Musical Concert on Tuesday Eve
ming, May %. There Will be
an Evening of Delightful
Music

The fact hat the day of the concert
is approaching very rapidly has given
a decided impetus to the work of the
chorus. A much larger number Of men,
than usual reported 70, rehearsal last
week. The ladies, beside their work at
rehearsals, are hard al work securing
patrons and patronesses for the concert.
Several Of our business men are putting
forth special efforts on behalf of the
chorus. All these efforts are made so
that the city may receive the benefit
of the winters work of our singers, who
have not only offered their services
freely, but paid monthly dues, so that
the offer of their services could be ac-
cepted and used to promote the welfare
of the city.
The regular rehearsals will be held
again next week as usual. Ladies on
Wednesday evening, and men on
Thursday evening in the third ward
fire house. Monday evening May %,
a combined rehearsal will be held in
the Casino Auditorium, but this rehear-
sal will not be open to the public as
all the other rehearsals have been.
The program for the concert covers a
wide field and is very attractive from a
musical point Of view. There will be
six numbers by the chorus, one num-
Der by our double quartet, two violin
solos by Mr.. Pfeiffer. The soloist of
the evening will be Miss Mary Barrett,
lyric soprano. The memory of her sing
ing in the Casino Auditorium last sea-
son is one of the factors that make us
long for the opening of the summer sea-
son with its festival of music and song.
Miss Barrett will sing two groups of
English songs. Miss Alice Hendee,
whose faithful and able work at the
piano, has done much to make the on
cert possible, will be the accompanist
in all the programme Numbers.
