The annual business meeting and election of directors of the Choral Society will be held Monday evening at Typographical Hall. Much interest is felt in this event, aithough It Is believed that nearly all the directors whose terms have expired will be re-elected. The season has been unfor- tunate, but this society has not suffeced more than other musical organizations. It was not that there was any complaint of the character of the work performed, but there appeared to be a general apathy cn the part of the public in regard to musical matters. But‘few of the enterprises that came to this city were financially success- ful, and the local organizations suffered in the same way. The Choral Society was fortunate in its last performance, the receipts exceeding its expenditures, so that its season closed with less of debt than had been at first antici- pated. It had some good warm friends, who came nobly forward and helped it in a substantial manner, and thus saved its treasury from getting absolutely swamped. It was handicapped in another direction— that of redeeming a lot of coupons to hon- orary membership tickets, some of which had hung over for two years. These it felt in honor bound to redeem, because it had for two years promised “Samson and Delilah,” and had failed through cir- eumstances over which it had no control, to give it. All debts of honor of this character have now been paid, and next season the society will start square with its honorary members. In closing the season the society can also feel that it has kept faith with the and has carried out the program It has done good work public, announced last fall. itself, and of good standing. to the standard expected, they have been satisfactory. Some of the friends of the society, those who have stood by it for years and who have contributed their share to its support, think it would be a wise and economical plan to next season engage some local soloists. In cases of emergency Mr. Me- Farland has taken the tenor roles, and ha cquitted himself with great credit. Miss idham sustained the contralto role on ene occasion most satisfactorily. At the performances of the “Redemption,” given at the Congregational Church last’ season, soloists were local singers, and the sults were proportionately larger than at any of the concerts of the season just closed. The next concert by the Capital Glee and Rubinstein Clubs will be a joint affair, and is intended to be the best that these or- xanizations have given. Mr. N. DuShane Cloward, who is the director of both so- cieties, Is rehearsing a program that can- not fail to prove attractive. Both clubs are composed of good voices, and the work that has been done at the two concerts already taken place has been highly commendable. The members have many friends, and it is pected that at this closing concert Metze- rott Hall will be filled. Some have not been up but generally The coming concert by the puptls of Mrs. Harriet Mills will be an ;ttraction among th rausical events announved for this sea- n and enjoyed by the many friends of those participating. Many are already well and familiarly known as soleists in church and concert, and their participation in this concert will afford an opportunity presentation of songs not previously from them. Miss Lotta Mills and New England will ap- pear upoa this oc as plano solvist. The New York Tribune speaks of the positicn she has attained in that city, as follows: ‘Miss Mills displayed a nice touch a clear singing tone and neat technique. ‘The New York Times says: “She has made an excellent impression by her appear- ances {n Mr. Louis Schmidt's chamber music concerts at Carnegie Hall. She is a pianist of exceedingly gracious parts, with a fine teckniqu, beaut'ful tone and thor- oughly musicianly feeling.” The Bridge- port Daily Standard thus comments on her work: “The selecticns of Miss Mills were rendered, ith fine taste and delicacy of ex- pression and splendid skill.” “The Metropolitars,” an organization composed of some geod local vocalists, is about to make Its initial appearance in light opera. This organization until recent- ly has devoted Its time to singing glees and choruses from the grand operas. The tune- ful opera “Chimes of Normandie” 1s to be produced, and the cast will be headed by Miss Fannie AtLee, who will take the part of Serpolette. She made her first ap- pearance upon the stage in the “Three Dukes” and scored a success by her clever acting and fine singing. She is the posses- sor of a high soprano voice of pleasing qual- ity. Miss Lillian Sefton, who will be Ger- maine, although a young singer, has al- ready won many admirers by her voice. Mis: efton is a natural-born actress, as was shown by her performance in’ “Si Lootah.” of Mr. well taken ed for hims as a concert er, having Grenicheux will be in the hands be Melville D.

Mr. Mahony played the part once before with great success. W. H. Conley is a host in himself. He will be the Bailli, and he will act the part as he alone can do it. John R. Shields, who is to take the part of Henri, has but re- cently made his public appearance as a sh His voice is a high baritone of fine quality and power. The chorus is made tp of picked voices. Rehearsals are being Leld regularly, under the direction of Mr. Gil- bert, A. Clark. The opera will be produced at one of the theaters, with full orchestra. The new quartet at the Church of Our | Father is doing some excellent work. Mrs. Goddard is the soprano, Miss Tyler the contralto, Mr. Mooney the teror and Mr. Young the bass and director. Mr. Angelo Fronani Is the organist. John Philip Sousa is now on his annual eastern and Canadian tour, and the ap- Fearance in this city on May 24 of his superb organization of fifty musicians will be the closing event of the musical seascn. Sousa stands today as the conductor of the greatest concert band known to musical history. There is always an especial in- terest attached to the coming of Sousa’s band. It arouses the musical enthusiasm of the classicist as well as the worshiper of the lighter“and popular melodies. The virtue of Sousa is his catholicism in music. He is at home in all schools, and plays all things well. Included in his pro- grams are his own virile marches, which are unapproached in the realm of march music. The band is now playing In superb form, and the praise of the public and press is more heartily bestowed upon the organization and its matcless leader than ever. Miss Minnie Tracey will be the vocal soloist. ——————— ‘The excursion season at Marshall Hall opens May 4. Morning and afternoon trips to Mt.

Butter Still Unusually Low—Other Products Unchanged. The condition of the local wholesale pro- duce market today is in about every re- spect as it was this day a week ago. But- ter Is, in the finest grades, a fracticn lower than last reported, but it is slightly firmer, and the general belief is that any change in prices will be in the nature of a slight advance._ Eggs are somewhat steadier, al- though they remain about as last quoted. Poultry 1s more plentiful, and a good de- mand retains last week's prices. Fine cheese Is scarce, and the new stock coming in 1s not of a fine quality. New vegetables are fairly plentiful, and are bringing good prices, there being quite a large demand for strawberries. Apples have aimost cis- appeared, good stock being particulariy diffi- cult to find. Beef and other meats show practically no change in condi-ion or price. The market throughout is well supplied, and is healthy in tone, Butter ts a little firmer in tone than was the case last week, although the market 1s far from being in a healthy condition. Prices practically remain as iast reported, although the finest grades are a fraction lower today. The supply is increasinz, but it is probable that prices have reached the bottom. Lower grades are, of course, dull and unsettled. Today's prices: Fancy El- gin and other western extras, 16% to 17 cents a pound; choice, 16; firsts, 15; seconds, 14. Choice bakers’ stock, 12; New York tubs, 12; dairy print, 14; western, 10; Mary- iene and Virginia creamery, 14; dairy pack- ed, 12. Good cheese is difficult to obtain, and prices are firm. Some new stock is com- ing in, but it is yet poor in quality. The prices prevailing today: New York state cream, large, 11% cents a pound; flats, 12, and ponys, 13; new stock, 10 to 11. There is practically no change in the price of eggs, although the market ts somewhat steadier than was the case last week, the following prices being observed today: Nearby fresh, 10% to 11 cents a dozen; western, 10; southern, 9, and keat or guinea stock, 4 to 5. Poultry is slightly more plentiful, but prices remain about as last quoted: Live chickens, 10 to 14; dressed, 12 to 16; old stock, dressed, 8 to 9; live, 4 to 6; capons, 16 to 18; 3, and geese, 6 to 9: spring chicken: As may be seen from the following prices, vegetables and fruits remain practically # per box; carrots, $1.50 per barre flower, $4 per barrel; .

Since the improvements have been made ir. the laying of the new system on the Met- ropolitan railroad, the residents of Geor, town Heights have been much benefited in one direction, and that an increase in the flow of water. All this territory is in the high-pressure belt of the water depart- ment, and since the laying of the under- ground electrical system necessitated a re- moval of the pipes, a double was laid, one on each side of the street, which in- creases the flow of water constlerably. In seme cases the pressure hes almost been doubled, but in all instances the increased pressure Is evident. On X Rays.

The Washington City Bible Society is an auxiliary of the American Bible Society of New York. It was organized In 1828 at the city hall and every one who contributes to its treasury $1 or more a year is recognized e@s a member. Every local pastor is ex- officio a member of the board of managers of the society and 1s privileged to receive from it Bibles and Testaments for distri- bution among the poor. ‘The soctety’s object is to distribute copies of the Scriptures to those in the District of Columbia without them. It dces not print or translate Bibles, but assists in their cir- culation. During the past year grants of more than 1,000 Bibles and Testaments have been made, including twenty Testa- ments in Chinese characters. More than fifty years ago, when a general movement was made in this country to raise funds for Gistributing a copy of the Bible to every family in the world, the local society sub- scribed $19,000 for this purpose. On its own account it has made eleven general canvass- es of this community to supply families with the Bible, and in 1891-3 distributed to the children of the city 8,300 Bibles. + —- White Pine Laths Are the Best, $2.25 per 1,000, Libbey&Co.,6th st.& N.Y.ave. —Acvertisement. el Choice Beef.
