but not of any magnitude. The Im

FIRST PUBLIC REHEARSAL.
Given by the Children's Chorus Clsssos In
Y. M. C. A. Hall.
The first public rehearsal of the Chil
dren's Chorus classes under the direc
tion of Tallle Morgan was held Renter
day afternoon at the T. M. C. A. hall,
and every available foot of space was
crowded. The chorus numbered over
three hundred voices, and it is quite
safe to say that an equal number of
grown people could not be gathered In
this city that would be able to do the
musical work done by those children
yesterday. It was a revelation, It was
a wonder. During the entire lesson of
one hour, every member of the class
Said strict attention to the lesson. Mr.
organ, In his opening remarks, said
that the classes had been organised only
live weeks, and that most of the chil
dren had received only three lessons.
He said that In March a public recital
would be given at one of the play
hounea, when those present could again
witness the progress made. He ex
plained his system of teachln" at length
and demonstrated Its practicability by
giving new music to the children, which
they readily sang at sight.
The children were repeatedly . ap
plauded after the various tests and a
more enthusiastic audience could hard
ly be found. The chorus sang a two
part waits song most beautifully, and
two little tots, Mabel Jayne and Edith
Morgan, sang a duet that brought forth
such a storm of applause that fairly
shook the house. Mrs. BeT. Jayne, who
is one of the teachers, presided most ac
ceptably at the piano.
In -answer- to questions sent to the
desk, Mr. Morgan announced that new
scholars will be received for two weeks
more. The Green Ridge class meets in
Nettleton's hall at .30. the Providence
class in Fenner & Channel's hall at 11,
the Bcranton class In the T. M. C. A.
rooms at 2, and the Hyde Park class In
the Washburn Street Presbyterian
church at 4, all on Saturdays. It Is pos
sible that monthly Joint rehearsals will
be held from this time forward.

"Pardon Me."
From the New York Herald.
It Isn't always safe to swear at a
bicyclist who is responsible for a colli
sion. A member of a well-known athletic
club, riding along at an easy pace, waa
overtaken , by another wheel, which
didn't turn out in time, and a rear end
collision was the result. When the
clubman recovered from the shock he
found himself lying on his back with
the baggy knee of a pair of trousers
across ji is knee.
1 Furious at the stupidity of the other
rider, he struggled to get up, shouting;
"Why the devil do you ride like that?"
"Oh, dear! Oh. dear!'.' said a plain
tive voloe. "I didn't mean to. I'm all
tangled up."
"Oh, Lord, a girl," groaned the young
man. "And I went and swore at her;"
and his contrition Increased when he
picked himself up and saw gating up
at him from around the wreckage a
very pretty faoe, flushed with mortifi
cation. Lifting, the owner to her feet,
the young man tried to apologise.
"Awfully -sorry. I thought It was
some idiot of a man that had run into
me. That is-erer-I don't mean you're
an Idiot, you know; if I'd known what
you were I wouldn't have sworn at
you. No, no I don't mean that, either,
I'm a little rattled, you see, but I
thought It was a man when I saw your
trousers. That is, I thought your-er-garments
were trousers -of a man; you
know. If I'd known you wore bloomers
that Is, If I'd known those trousers
were bloomers I-mean If I'd known It
was a girl who wore -trousers . Oh,
darnltall! I apologise," and the youth
mounted and sped away se madly that
he narrowly escaped wrecking a street
car, leaving the girl redder than before.

Lost In Minooka Fag-
Four little girls from the West Bide
started away from home yesterday
morning to visit friends In Dunmore
and by mistake they got on a South Side
car; they rode to the city line and got
off. They wandered along the atreeta
and Inquired -for their- friends.- but' no
one knew for whom they were -seeking
and as a consequence they wandered
around until It got dark. They were
footsore and weary after a fruitless
search in Minooka looking for friends
In Dunmore. John J. Coyne discovered
their plight and kindly cared for them
and sent them back home. Three of
them are sisters and their names are
Rose; their parents live in Hyde Park.

Mr. Elliot killed six straight and Clem

circle. The score of each shooter was
aa follows: . .
