Officers and executive committee will be elected at the next meeting, which will be held on the second floor of tho Lyric bullding, Nineteenth and Farnam streets, next Monday evening at § o'clock, for the first regular rebearsal. James Eaward Carnall, who has been chosen leader of the chorus, is cholr- imaster at the First Methodist Episcopal and had charge of the Tabernacle chorus during the “Billy" Sunday meetings. The new chorus is to be strictly non- #ectarian and expects to confine its work tossecular lines.
