Last year the Chatitanqua wound up with Lebanon Day iu a blaze of glory, but this year's conclusion of the summer school will eclipse all former features of the institution. The Festival of Church which will be held on next Wednesday, is attracting considerable attention abroad, and the Priza Musical Competition Contest Concerts of Thursday bid fair to rival the Welsh Eisteddfods in the variety and excellence of the programs. The Chautauqua expects to bring together many of the leading choirs in the interior of the State, to make them acquainted with each other, to offer them recreation aid to enable them to leain how their musical neighbors do sing. This part of the musical fraternity has no such central organization as the State music teachers, for iustance, and it is altogether probable that a permanent association may be loumieii. It goes without saying that when such au array of choir taleut jiarlicipaus on tho program scores of joints can be picked up for musical use, whiuh could not be gotten in any nther way.

The music will bo boi.ii hucrcd and secular and the solos, choruses, and interspeised instrumental numbers are pretty evenly balanced. Among the congregations that will be represented are the Market Square Presbyterian church, Harrisburtj; the Barnabas Protestant Episcopal church, Reading; the St. Paul's Reformed Choir, Pottsville; the Presbyterian and one other choir, Middletown; the Second St. Lutheran choir, Colnmtji; the John's Lutheran cuotr, Alleiuowu; the Trinity U. B.

choir, Lebanon: the First Keform- ed choir, Lebanon; tue First Lutheran choir, Anoville; the St. John's Informed choir, Lebanon; the Silem Lutheran choir, Lebanon; thcZ'on Lutheran choir, Lebanon; the Cacstnuk Street Evangelical choir, LebauOL; the Westminster Presbyterian choir, llarrisburg; and one or two organizations from Lancaster. The Memorial M. E. Vested choir, of Reading, will also be present with 55 voices OD both days and will render a full musical program on Wednesday evening.

There will be a number of additional choirs pnseot, but not participating in the concerts. On Thursday the prize contests will be unusually exciting and entertaining. There are entries in every class, and the successful competitors will receive gold, silver and bronze medals and Chantauqua Musical Diplomas. Some of these will be on exhibition in T. Cobu's Jewelry window today.

On Wednesday evening there will be a sociable for the musicians iu the Dining Hall and ou Thursday evening the winners iu the coutestn will give a special Prize Concert. The C'bau- tauqua should be heartily supported iu this large attempt to unify and improve the musical interests of this region, and in affording oar commnnity such an op- porturnlcy to hear and become acquainted with the mauy different kinds of singers iu this part of the State. Detailed programs ot all six concerts will appear iu next week's paper. I THE STORM FAMILY AGAIN. Their Home on New Street tie Scene of Drnnken Brawli The attention of Chief of Police Ringler has been called to the conduct of the Storm family and frequenters of the place, which is an old tumble down af- lair.

on New street. Last evening the Chief was visited by two ladies who complained about the disturbances made by the drunken inmates at Storm's. They stated that George Storm, William Storm, Mary Beamesderfer, Harry Neff and Peter Fitrey have lying about the premises in a druukcu condition since Thursday morning, when the carousal began. Ou Thursday old man Storm was locked out and immediately proceeded to kick iu the door. Terrible oaths are uttered by the drunken wretches who laugh derisively when requested by the neighbors to keep quiet.

Bell Storm, Harry Neff, Peter Fitrey and Mary Beamesderfer were arrested when the home of Sarah Siorm, in Union alley, was raided by the police some time'ago. At that time Fitrey, who had secured over pension money, furnished the crowd with the liquor. Now, however, he is penniless and Mary Beamersderfer is furnishing the money, which she obtains by selling her furniture at a sacrifice. Frank Beamersderfer, her husband, is in prison and during bis absence it seems to'be her intention to dispose of their furni-: ture and spend the proceeds recklessly. Should the" disturbances contioue today Chief Ringler will make a raid oa the shanty and have them up before au al- dermau, who will no doubt hand them over to the tender mercies of Sheriff Bowtnau.

Subsequently Conductor Beohtle, of the ahifter, came from the junction aod reported it to have been merely a blast in. the stone quarries.

It was almost an impossibility to keep cool, even at Oretna, yesterday morning aud afternoon, but the evening was ali that could be desired, particularly on the lake. The afternoon program was opened by an address by Prof.

Ettinger. His subject was, "An Hour with the Dictionary." He spoke of this age as a progressive one; in fact it might be called a fast age. Now instead of speaking about taking a trip across the ocean aud preparing for weeks and months ahead, we talk about taking a "run across the pond." The improvements iu our modes of travel all tend to illustrate the progress of civilization. Now instead of taking a trip through America, England or Germany, we will take a ilyiug trip through the dictiouary. The conceited individual who is asbamcd of his knowledge of Gorman probably does not know the origin ol the English language, which is fast becoming a universal ouo.

Wo might say tho of Anclo Sa.xon and the grandmother of English were sisters and their mother was German." Prof. Ettinger then gave the origiu of a number of the English words commonly used. All enjoyed the lecture very much. Immediately after the lecture the Chantauqua pupils of Dr. Hammond gave us a musical treat.

The class sang "The Merry Songster," after which Miss Elizabeth Behney and Dr. Hammond played a piano duet with much expression and in perfeol. tune.
