THE JULY SAENCERFEST The Gorman Song Pestival to Bo Hold at Cleveland. GREAT CHORUSES OF 3,000 VOICES Bkotolioi of the Fumouj ArtiKti Who 'Will Participate An Ambitious Under. tukiuc , thuuSucccss of Which If Already Assured. CLEVELAND , O. , Juno 23. [ Special to THE BEK. ] Next Sunday evening will bo hold the grand dedicatory concert of the magnifi cent now auditorium which the Germans of Cleveland have erected for the twenty- Bovonth sacngerfcBt of the North American Sacngoruund , and two weeks from Tuesday that splendid song festival will bo opened. Among the great musical ovcn'ts of the year few will compare In enthusiasm and artistic effect with the sovou concerts ot the Baengorfest. The triennial song festivals given by the German singing societies have become noteworthy occurrences In the history and development of vocal music on this continent , and unless all pres ent signs fail , the ono approaching will sur pass In numbers , enthusiasm and musical effects all that have preceded It. How much this broad assertion moans can only bo ap preciated by these who know what magnifi cent concerts marked the great festival at Buffalo 1n IBS : ) , nt Milwaukee In 1BSO , at St. Ivyiis In 1883 , nnd Now Orleans in 1890. But Cleveland is centrally situated and the local management has spared no efforts to procure the finest solo talent In tha world. It has felt the greatness of the undertaking , and aimed from the first to bring into the choruses a larger number of societies and moro singers than over before , and orches tral Directs MOW to American saongurfcsts. In both respects they have succeeded. It Is now announced that ISO societies will participate , representing all sections of the country from the Atlantic seaboard to To- poku , Kansas City , and Omaha , nnd from Milwaukee to Now Orleans and Mobile. In numbers the choruses will exceed these of any former festival by one-half , and it is probable they will bo throe times as largo as those of the Now Orleans snongcrfost. It is expected 3,000 will Join m rendition of the grand and no bio choral numbers , with an in- nplrlug effect which only these who have hoard great choruses can Imagine. Hero will gather the "Junger Maonnerchor , " of Philadelphia , successor to that famous Maonnorchor vyhlch first Introduced ohorus jltiKlng by a largo number of voices in Aniorlca in 1833 , and with Its flno volume will bo raised voices from the most recently organized societies in the country. Young and old will moot and fraternize , and the beautiful and moving art of choral ulnglug bo promoted accordingly. The orchestra U composed of ever 100 pieces , being the well known soml-profos- Blon&l philharmonic organizations of this city , vf 1th n number of finished artists troin abroad added.

Prof. Ring is A Typical German Mudolan , with all the capability , energy and enthusi asm that Implies. Though still a sUado un der ! )0 ) years , bemir born November 21,1803 at Totschcn-on-tho-Elbo , a village in Saxonlan Switzerland , ho has won dcsorvoil recogni tion and high rank In his profession. With the best training afforded in Austria , at Dresden , and Praguo.aud valuable experience in the famous Mansfoldt orchestra In its palmc.U ! daysho came to America in March , 1837 , as n member of the Boston Symphony orchestra. In September of the following year ho accepted the conductor-ship of the Philharmonics hero , whore for nearly llvo yours ho has boon a leading flguro In musical circles and contributed in a notable dcgroo to the development of the musical culture of Cleveland. Under the inspiration of Ills leadership and His thorough tuition , the Philharmonics have emerged from the ranks of amateurs and nro rapidly assuming a high professional character. The members nro devotedly attached to their young conductor and accord him enthusiastic support. A unlquo feature of the festival will bo the lo&ulnn of ofTho The Orclieitra In a Well. out of sight under the stago. The famous pit of the Wagner opera hou o at Bayrouth has been copied In the magnificent now auditorium , it will have accommodations for about I'M musicians and tholr instru ments. There , hidden from the nudlcnco , the members can cscapo the conventional Qross parmio and adapt tholr costumes to the toinporaturo. Cleveland usually has flno laUo breezes during July to temper the heat , and these can bo countoU upon to render most of the days and nights comfortable , but If a sultry , humid day should couio , the orchestra will bo where Us members can woo the muse in shirt alcoves. Itvus not for this purpose , however , that the well was designed , but because it would both econo mize spnco nnd heighten the orchestral effects. A hut'O sounding board Is at the roar of the plt.-nnd the music , thus redacted from Its hidden source , Is softer and swcotor , and possesses n peculiar harmony that makes it very charming and delightful. It is bo- Hoved the -voluuio of ttmerfrom tlio orchestra will also blond hotter with the great choruses and superior effects will thus bo ob tained. The experiment will have very great Interest , as it has uovor been tiled before in America. The inuslo to bo sung Is of the highest order , ami the drill of the smgors has boon thorough , as far as Conductor King tins been able to ludgo from his tours of Inspection. The tusk of placing singers from a score of states , who have never sung together before fore , in ono grand chorus , And obtaining re sults or a high order from the llrat perform ance Is the severe test of a master. How well Prof , King will accomplish this , of course , remains to bo scon , but all his friends have perfect coiUldonco IB him. By the lirno the fcbttv.il opens ho will have noard each society sing three times In rehearsal - hoarsal , n work that has called for a great amount of travel and hard work. An .Vmblttaui l'rt > irum. The opening program on Tuesday night will witness the debut of the prlma donna of the saougcrfcst. Kit a Klandl , In ttioland and city of her birth.

There Is c good deal more picnic than patriotism more holiday than anniversary about It today. ] hud some curiosity to know how the father ; observed it what the patriots of 1703 did tt show their love of freedom on the annlvor sary of American freedom's birth. So ] wont to the capliola few days ngo and divot deep into the musty old lltos of the nou-s papers thero. The newspaper room Is n quaint old place It Is Just off the dimly lighted , narrow passage sago that leads from the senate wing to the house wing of the building. It Is very noa : the spot whore it was proposed tolay tin remains of Washington In u marble mnuso loum not under the "center dome of tin ca'pltol" as provided in the recommendation : made by a special committee to the house ii 1830 , but north of th-at spot. Mr * . Washint ton gave her consent to the removal of tin 'remains shortly after the first president1 ! death ; but there was a strong general fool Ing against carrying out the plan. The lo U Uturo of Virginia strenuously objected to U and so the remains llo at Mount Vcrnon But the place prepared tor them north c the great rotunda of the cauitol is polntoi out to visitors today. The newspaper collection is ono of th most valuable adjuncts of the congrosslona library. It Is stored away in u room by Itsol where nllolay long its special guardian , Mt Tun Ness , sits under the flickering light o a single gas-Jot aud sorts out the addition 0 to It.

Mutilation of the nowspa ] > cr files c the library would bo a aurlous matter.

They published ho journals of the Continental congress , and Dunlap is said to have been the first man to lave printed the Declaration of Independ ence. So it is nppropriato that wo should take our account of .ilio celebration of Indc- londcnco day 100 years ago from the files of his paper , then known as Dunlap's Ameri can Daily Advertiser. Dunlap did not re spect the Fourth of July as some of the newspaper proprietors of today do , by de claring a holldavfor his employes and getting out no paper , On the contrary , ho Improved , ho day by publishing in a patriotic spirit , ho text of the Declaration of Independence , with an editorial introduction which Indi cates that Liberty was not so fully ostab- Ishod on her pedestal as she might have been. Ho says : "At a time when some of our citizens nro dis posed to view monarchical power with differ- mt eyes from these with which they viewed t In 1770 , wo hope it will not bo amiss to rc- nlnd thorn of the principles and fooliiiifs of the citizens of the United States in that memorable year byropublishlngtho Declara- , lon of Independence on the anniversary of the day which gave birth to the freedom of our country and which w j hope will continue : o furnish a precedent far deposing tyrants "n every part of the world. " Then follows the Declaration In full , with some little variations in punctuation , spoil ing and gpnor.il style which would appear inelegant toddy. But wo have reformed our language n irood deal in u century. There Is ono llttlo news paragraph about the observance of the day in the issue of the 4th , There was no telegraph In these days and no steam railroad and news came in by carrier slowly. So there Is no reference to the plans for celebration in ether cities and uudur the head of "Philadelphia. July 4 , " there Is only a short paragraph telling that the firing of the morning gun at day break had announced tlio birthday of American Independence nnd that IIftoon guns would bo 11 red at noon nnd fifteen nt two different periods afterwards. Most of the public places of entertainment , it was suited , would bo "open for tlio reception of company and the evening would bu closed of fireworks. "Thus " with a grand display , says Mr. Dunlap , "Philadelphia will exhibit perhaps the most splendid scene of any part of the continent on this Joyful introduction of the eighteenth your of glorious liberty. " The reason for firing n silutu of fifteen guus was ttiat in 171TJ Vermont niul Ken tucky had boon admitted to tlio Union , in creasing the numbar of states from the original thirteen to fifteen , In the Issue of tlio paper for the 5th of July 1s an account of the local celebration , It was not complete. Little scraps of this story were published from day to day for nearly u weak and the arrival of letters from New \ork furnlshud additional news ; so that the story of the celebration was not cleaned up In a few hours , as It would bo today , but was scattered ever two good weeks , The account of the Philadelphia celebration - , tion aho-vs that the morning hours wore spent In making arrangements for the differ ent exercises of the afternoon. Homo , says the chronicler , dined In the country ana some In town , The members of the Society of the Cincinnati mot at dinner at Oiler's hotel and drank fifteen patriotic toasts. They wore : J. "Tho Day. " D3. "Tho United States. " 8. "Tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. ' 1. "Tho Uopubllu of Franco. " C. "Tho-j'imun Itaco. " 0. "Peace to the World. " 7. "Tho r'alr Daughters of Columbia. " 8.

" According the chroulclu fifteen rounds of the la-pounders wcro fired at noon , fifi teen moro ut the first toast of the Cincin nati , fifteen at the eighth toast , fifteen moro at the fifteenth , and finally the oven. ing gun , fired at the proper time , "gavo the the company notice of retiring , which they did at a good hour. " In the nftornoon , it U related , a great many pee pi o who had re turned from excursions visited the circus.
