Mr. Lawrence will play the Reubenstein concerto and Mrs. Noyes will sing an operatic aria with orchestral accompani- ment. The numbers to be played by the orchestra have not yet been determined upon, but they will be such as will enable the organization to be heard at its best and such as will give satisfaction to the audi- ence. The Ladies’ Chorus Club, the contemplat- ed formation of which was mentioned fa The Star some time ago, finally effected an organization at the residence of Maina, 1307 14th street, this week. There was quite a goodly gathering present and Miss Ouca de Vecchi made an able pre- siding officer. So well satisfied were her associates with her ability in this respect that she was unanimously chosen to be the president of the club. The other officers selected were Mrs, John Seagur, vice president; Miss Mary Helen Howe, secretary, librarian, Miss Maud Kirkland; reporter, Miss Alice Wasserbachy committee of reception—Miss Olga de Met- _ Miss Philips and Miss Mamie Dun- elly. The name deciced upon was “The Euter- pean Club,” and Miss de Vecchi made a neat little speech, thanking the ladies for the interest they had taken in the forma- tion of the club, assuring them that success could only be obtained by study and appli- cation, but that they would have valuable aid from Prof. Maina, their director. She referred to the fact that they were endeav- oring to establish an /.damless Eden, but that they would have the assistance of some gentlemen, and closed by expressing the hope that the association wonld be one of harmony, not of music only, but of hearts, and then tne club would be a great success. Prof. Harry Wheaton Howard is the ac- companist. The club starts off under excel- lent auspices. The ladies are all enthus- fastic.

The answer ts that the young base are deserted after a few days by the parents, the school ts dispersed, and subsequently the little fishes are de- voured in great numbers by the adult bass, many of them doubtless by their own fathers and mothers.

The Congressional Districts. on that line. The effort of Chairman Thur- man to inject free silver as an issue, to the setting aside of the tariff, has not met with favor in any part of the state, and es- pecially in the district of Mr. Johnson. In that district the depression in business aud the long days of enforced idleness are the’ prominent features in the campaign, the party in power getting the blame, as is al- ways the case. Hungry people do not stop to reason very long. The same thing operates, but not to so great an extent, in the third district, and it is very doubtful if the republicans can suc- ceed in defeating Mr. Sorg. The republi- cans assert that they will hold their own in the ten districts now controlled by them, and will add at least six to their delega- were with that party. This condition con- tinued until the 20th, when high-water mark was reached, and since that time th populists have been rapidly gaining, bu these gains are mostly from the demo- crats, who begin to realize that there is no longer a democratic party in this state. ‘The thing which checked the republican enthuslasm was the declaration by Seuator Martin that the party must be beaten in state, legislature an& congressional dis- tricts. He defended the present state ad- ministration against the charges of boodle and corruption, made by republicans, and Geclared that Governor Lewelling and his associate state officers are pure men.

From the Upholsterer, Light draperies, which in past years were confined to summer uses, are becoming more and more popular for all seasons of ed by this success several of the states went into the business of stocking rivers and ponds with black bass. For years past the United States fish commission has annually collected large numbers of bass trom pools formed temporarily by the over- flow of rivers in Illinois, In such overflow ponds many fishes of ‘this and other kinds are left behind by the receding waters. They are taken with nets and distributed to various parts of the ‘country. ‘At the same time, nothing has been done until very lately in the direction of artl- jicially propagating the black bass, While the hatching of shad and salmon has been conducted on a scale which may fairly be bass a spawning pond should be built so that at least one-fourth of it will have a depth ranging from feather-edge to one foot. In the middle pond lilies should be planted,to serve as sun-shades in summer and also to furnish the breeling fish with a place to hide from fish-hawks. There should be plenty of clean gravel in. the pond. After the hatching is completed and the young, under the guidance of the par- ent fish, are schooling, the fry should be removed with a net of cheesecloth to a nursery pond, where they may grow up in safety from attacks by bigger fishes. Later in the summer, to prevent the bigger on: from eating the smaller, the young ba: should be collected and sorted into dif- ferent ponds. It is said to be full of melodic numbers and bright choruses, and those who have heard the music speak in high terms of its exccl- lence. Master George Martin, solo soprano of St. James’ vested choir of East Washing- ton, applied and was accepted as a mem- ber of the Choral Society last Monday even- ing. He is the first. boy soprano who has been accepted in the Choral Society, and he will occupy a prominent seat in the soprano choir.

The eggs of the black bass are deposited in a giutinous mass, and it used to be supposed that eggs of that sort could not be treated by artincial methods of impregnation and incubation.

Unusual precautions were taken to remove every bass. The pond was left empty for three weeks in November until the mud was dry and cross- checked. The pond was then filled, and in December 200 tons of ice were cut from it. To make assurance doubly sure, the pond was again drawn the following April and left empty for ten days.
