THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1891.

her clear-cut and perfectly intelligible enunciation, no matter what the language maybe In which she sings. Americans are justly proud of their talented countrywoman and look forward to her future successes In all parts of the world with Interest, because she bears a message to foreigners of the American's treat vocal possibilities, towards which Americana are striding In seven-league bOOti. The composer, Max Bruch, worked out a cantata from some German verses highly suggestive of Walter Scott's "Ellen's Isie." The heroic Fair Ellen of the German supports and spurs on her warring protectors In the face of the foe by reiterated assurances that "The Campbells Are Coming." One might have liked the heroine better If she had made the warriors realize their own porsibllities Instead of Insisting- upon the ubiquitous Campbells. But no thought or action could be weak In the hands of Emma Eames. She would turn a lay figure Into a heroine by means of her powers of idealization. The spirit of the composition Is martial, especially through the tremendous finale, over which Fair Ellen's voice rose like a c'arion call. In the duet from the "Marriage of Figaro." substituted for the trio set down. Miss Eames divided her triumphs with the English baritone, Mr. Watkln Mills, who must like Americans In return for the mad and spontaneous enthusiasm of one of the largest audiences ever gathered beneath the roof of Tomlinson Hall. Mr. Mills Is trying: his musical fate In a new country. He must feel the happiest encouragement if the demonstration of last evening meet him at every hand, which 13 said to be the case. Ills voice U a high baritone, sonorous and full, of more brilliant timber than Is common among heavy voices of his kind. He is an exponent of the English oratorio school and Is possessed of a sustaining power difficult cf attainment and accordingly a rare acquirement. Mrs. Mill's solo, "Honor and Arms," from Handel's "Samson," revealed a breathing power which he might almost afford to divide with less fortunate mortals. After long and repeated demands for something more from him, after his first appearance, Mr. Mills returned, singing another "Samson" aria, accompanied In very best form by Mr. Mollenhauer, who has done this work a number of times for the singers to everybody's satisfaction. No doubt from unfamlllarity with his work in 'Fair Ellen." which he only began to study last Thursday, Mr. Mills lost his pitch several times, but this was mere than compensated for by the sadness of his "Farewell, Then, Wife and Child, at Home." Last night being a night of wonders, Mr. Friedheim is deserving of excellent notice. Nothing can be better than the best, therefore why dwell with ordinary words upon the technique of the pianist? He is a master of the Instrument, out ' of which it U more difficult to draw real life than

from any other. The pianist must have the soul and fire which are Mr. Friedhelm's natural endowments. He Is a strong. Intellectual player, with which characteristics he combines deep, poetic filing. Mr. Friedheim was . somewhat refractory as regards the encore fiend, but at length he complied with the "Sixth Rhapsodie" of Liszt, whose compositions he reads with special aptitude. Miss May Stein proved to be the happiest eon of Interpolation. Her aria was the "Joan cf Arc." by Brenberg. than which she could hardly have chosen a more fitting composition for the display of a tremendous voice of rich Quality and sustaining power. The decision of her attack was admirable and her powers of crescendo seemingly limitless. One looks forward to her Wagner singing to-night with gratifying an ticipations after a short but delhrhtful ex perience of her powers. Mr. II C. Towne was not at his be3L His voice could easily be a sweet, light tenor were it not forced and made nasal, but heavy concert work Is not his forte In his present state of training. Mr. Arena and the chorus are to be congratulated upon their splendid success. The martial feeling expressed throughout the cantata "Fair Ellen" they caught excellently well and held before the auditors consciousness without a flag or flaw to the tr.d. Mr. Mollenhauer had mor opportunity to sliow last night what ho can do with a frrtl ;flmo. Ills men Jiave been brought to a perfect understating; of the meaning of tlie marks 1. P. and F. F. as well as accent and phrasing. The conductor's quiet dignity brings about the same results as the sensational flourishes of many leaders of orchestras. It is difficult to dwell upon one number Tor particular pralsi when all were so goo l, bat if that were possible the audience might eay the "Manfred" introduction gave the most pleasure. CHOItt S ASD CANTATA. Story of the Defense of Lncknow Tftlil in Manic. The chorus, grouped as It was the first night, presented a more gala appearancj. as the sopranos and altos were in white alius t entirely and a few gowns of light tints give only a variety to the eye and retained a pleasant effect. There were a few vacant seats on the platform early In the evening, but when the time came for the cantata there was not an empty chair. Applause with the hand3 seemel too mild tor some, and canes and umbrellas (a few feared a repetition of the Tuesday night's rain and were prepared) were used In order to get more noise. Nothing more delicious could be imagined than the composition of Saint Saens of thc "Symphonic Poem, "Le Rout d'Omphale," which tnJed in a pianissimo that could scarcely be heard, and the Uecrescendo to It was as artistic a piece of direction and rendition as the orchestra has produced. The Symphonic Poem preceded the cantata, "Fair Ellen," which was written by Max Bruch and was presented by the chorus, assisted by Madame Eames and Mr. Mills. The cantata is Intensely dramatic, and it is so clearly wriaen that no effort is requ!red to form the picture in the mind, which should be the accompaniment of every musical composition. The description of the cantata Is thus given: "The defense of Lucknow by Its British garrison during the Sepoy rebellion Is dt? of the memorable events In the R.nt;!i:ia administration of India. The world Is familiar with the story of the disaffection, of the native troops, the failure of Sir Henry Lawrence, who was in command, to overcome the mutiny, the stubborn defense which the brave little gar-ri.-on made against the repeated asaulis cf the native troop-, their temporary assistance frcm Outram and Havelock. win cut their way Into the city, and the final relief which was brought to them -by Sir Colin Campbell. Of all the stirring incident of the siege, however, not one his made such a strong impression a the fanciful story of the Scotch sir! who heard the slogan of th? MacGrejsors far away, and knew the Highlanders were coming to their rescue. It is this incident which Bruch has used as the theme of his cantata. The story is Identical with the one so often toll in pro?e and poetry, but the dramatis ptrsonae differ. Instead of General Liwrene there is Lord Edward, and Instead of familiar Je?se Brown there is "Fair Ellen." The work opens with an orchestral prelude of et'ht measure.. introducing a baritone solo, "May God In Ills Mt-rcy Be Good to Is Now," in the exirftsKlve key of 1 minor. In which Lml IJwjird lifinoans the beleaguered city. Thi.is followed by a chorus of soldiers, citizens and their houvhoMs. in which the gnllant veterans of Lord ivlwurd, though Pad nnd d!s;lritcd, nre not utterly dtrondent. Ftlr I;iien. ever hopeful, fancies that she hears sounds of "The Campbells Are Coming," find encourages them to be patient, for relief is nigh at hand. Her song is Intensified by the- faint sounds of the orchestra, in which the drum and pibroch are distinctly heard. Lord EJward. less keen of perception, thinks tft maiden "sore di.traueht." fc-ti and gijwmy condition of th royal

hearts In Lucknow's stronghold Is vlvldlv depicted in the following chorus, when "nearer and nearer the last hour came." After Mr. Mills had sung the opening solo, the male chorus, representing the soldiers, beran. There was precision of attack, and the orchestra answered as perfectly the motion of the baton, and the siege of Lucknow moved on as If it were a panorama. There is an abundance of the full power of th chorus as the work Is dramatic, and the singers are iired with the meaning of the words which they are singing. There 13 reason for each tone, and the expression given fits It as the composer Intended. The introduction of "The Campbells Are Coming" by the orchestra touched the heart, and one really begins to be anxious lest the soldiers will not arrive In time to rescue the people. Such fervor, brilliancy and warmth as Bruch has put Into the short work of about eighteen minutes made It a lifting climax to the magnificent performance of the evening. When the chorus, orchestra and soloists swelled in volume tofother there was a sense of completeness with which the audience could go home nd live it over in days to come. SOCIHTY TIIIXEI) OIT.

Beautiful Women In Festive Attire Some of the Audience. Tomlmson Hall will not accommodate the whole population of Indianapolis, but everyone was there, paradoxical as It may seem. All the social world was out in festive attire, and beautiful women, flowers and diamonds sparkled from the balcony, main Moor, and even from the second gallery, where even standing room was at a premium. There were very few who wore bonnets, and pretty combs, bows or flowers were u3ed Instead of the customary headgear. There were some astonishing toilettes, and the wearers were the observed of all during the Interesting minutes while the audience was being seated. By the way, having an aisle In the middle of the hall Is one of the very best arrangements. There 13 more expedition In seating the audience, and certainly more comfort. Among the audience were General Harrison, Mrs. McKee, Gen. Lew Wallace of Crawfordsville, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wallace, Mr and Mrs. J. R. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. T. E.. Griffith. Mr. and Mrs. John S.

AT TUB MATIXEE. A Preponderance of Woman Attend The Solo Xnmber. The matinee drew a fair sized audience, there being many seats vacant in all parts of the house. The fact that the season ticket holders are sharing the entertainments with their friends was manifest In the ladies of the household being accompanied to the performance by others than were with them at the opening concert. The main floor was a garden of flowers with the bonnets and hats, which there was no effort to remove, as In the evening. Many of the audience were gloveless, and In this particular both of the singers, Madame Pooje-Klng and Miss Juch, kept them company. The heat was great. There were numerous out-of-town parties, who evidently. came In just for the aay, for they had small hand bags. The various attractions In town brought In many people, some of whom took advantage of the matinee to hear the artists. There was a preponderance of women. The members of the chorus attended and took their seats In the audience, swelling the number. They were all lovers of music, and th enthusiasm o? the matinee exceeded by far that of the previous evening. Six Sisters from a convent occupied seats In the "O" section of the balcony nnd absorbed the sweet sounds of Instruments and voice. The little group of black-robed women made a decided contrast to the gay gowns worn bv the great majority. There was an informality in the performance which would not have been necessary on a day when the temperature was less sultry. The members of the orchestra sought the ha!! whenever there was an intermission In their playing, and the corridors, with their breezes, were the favorite places for the men. The orchestra repeated Its triumph of the oeninr nicht. and for the delicate and artistic rendition of the "Intermezzo from the ballet of Naila." by Dellbes.was vociferously applauded, end Mr. Mollenhauer kindly allowed the men to repeat the number to the evident satisfaction of the listeners. Mr. Mollenhauer has won a permanent place in the musical affections of the people of thi3 State for his capabilities as a leader of an orchestra. The orchestra came to this sc tlon of the country comparatively unknown, and it has performed the many accompaniments and played the selections of the programmes with rare skill and precision. T.ie afternoon programme was of somewhat popular character and full of entertaining elments. This was the plan for the Wednesday matinee of the festival season a plan rro?t charmingly cirrid out, especially as to the orchestral features of the afternoon. Mr. Enill Mollenhauer conducts with such ease .-ind musioianly interpretation that his men seem "to go by thems lveV' by inspiration. Especially interesting in the way of a comparative novelty was the andante from Tschalkowski's c.uartct in B flit. It runs along a minor reverie, in one place accented by a weird tricJet picked monotonously by the cello and double bass. Mr. Mollenhauer's reading of this highly original composition was sympathetic and Intelligent. The .'ntermezzo from the Ballet of Naila was s chinning that the audience was only satisfied with a repetition. Miss Juch is such an undoubted favorite with the Indianapolis people that her -entrance, was made amid the warmest applause. She substituted an aria from Gounod's Queen of Sheba for the Carmen number, then as an encore gave a dainty bit from Der Frlscnuetz. Miss Juch sang the Bach-Gounod Ave Marie with her usual religious fervor. That composition more than anv other In her repertory shows the real btauty of her voice to an advantage because throughout she never Is tempted to force her production. She Imbues any song with her delightful German Intensity. Mr. Felix Wlnternlts played the Ave Mar:e violin obllgato with much taste and a broad, pure tone. Mrs. Clara PooleKing was heartily applauded on her rendering of her three songs. Mr. Fritz Giese will draw the same mellow tone from his beloved cello and touch hearts with his singing and reminiscent effect of U Cara Memorla as long as his hand has not lost its wonderful cunning with the bow. Giese would not come back. Mr. Rogers revealed the possibilities of the hirp unaccompanied, though even his masterly playing cannot induce one to apErccUte his instrument as well without the ackground of the strings with fuller natural Lones. Ills touch and execution are most satisfying. A TAL.lv WITH MME. KAMKS. Say She Pnyw Xo Attention to Gossip About Felloiv-ArtUt. Madame Emma Eames was quite refreshed from her trip when she arrived at Tomlinson Hall yesterday morning for the rehearsal with the orchestra and for the duet with Mr. Mills. The soloists had

never met. and immediately upon presentation they went to the platform for the rehearsal, which preceded that with the chorus for "Fair Ellen." Madame Eames Is all that Is expected, and that is much, for the American press and public have found words but poor expression for her charms of voice and personality. When Madame Eames was asked about her Chicago success she sild that the season of opera had been very gratifying. Now that it had closed she was glad that it was over and that she could look forward to a season of rest. If the season had not been the success It had. and for It she felt most grateful to the public, she would wish that it were not over and that she could have occasion to make smooth some of the places which had not been satisfactory, if there were any. In speaking of the criticisms she said that she never read the criticisms till after the season was over. There are a half-dozen really serious critics, whose opinion Is valuable to any artist, but what one may think good in an artist's work another will think of differently. There seems to be no standard of judgment. A man does not aiwaj's feel in the right mood. A play seen one night will please, when the same, under other circumstances, he will not deign to notice. "The season in this country will close in a short time, when I will go to Europe, and after six weeks at the Covent Garden Theater I shall go to my husband's family in Itlay and become a lotus eater," she said with a smile. When asked how she studied her parts Mme. Eames said that she never allowed anything to affect her while on the stage. Every energy Is concentrated to the part. "And I do the same in my travling life." she continued. "I pay no attention to the gossip of or about my fellow-artists and do not indulge in gossip for any amusement. When I want amusement I go to the theater." Madame Eames said that whenever a person became satisfied with himself or hrself there was little future for that artist. An artist must always look forward to expanding and increasing In his or her profession. In this Madame Eames evidently hints as to what the public may expect from Tier in the years to come. FIXANCKS OF THE FESTIVAL. Two 3iore Fnll Houses Needed to Meet the Henvy Expenses. Said President Mayer, of the festival board, last night: "To-night's great audience has brought the receipts of the festival up materially, but we must have good audiences to-morrow afternoon and evening to make the total meet our expenses, which are very heavy. If we can get out even this year the permanency of the festival Is assured; if not, it is doubtful. We have kept expenses down to the lowest possible notch, and have done everything in our power to make this festival a go. From an artistic standpoint there is no doubt that it is the greatest one Indianapolis has ever had. and It remains for the citizens here to make It a financial success by giving the last two concerts a generous patronage. "For the matinee to-morrow we have Marteuu. the greatest of violin players; Mile. Irebelli. a wonderful singer; Mr. Towne, the tenor, and Mr. Giese, 'celloist, as soloists, and an unusually attractive and popular programme. For the- great Wagner concert to-morrow night, which, by the way, will have a comparatively short programme, although it looks somewhat formidable, the soloists will be Miss Emma Juch, who is the greatest Wagner singer and most versatile prima donna before the public; Mr. . Da vies, Mr. Hlnrlch. Mr. Towne and Miss Stein a great aivay In addition to our magnificent chorus. If these two concerts are patronized as they should be, we will come out all right." To-I)n y' Popular Matinee. The matinee to-day will present one of the most popular and attractive programmes of the series. The principal soloist will be M. Henri Marteau, the violinist, Who will give two numbers. His wonderful playing Tuesday night has served to arouse great interest in him, as is indicated by the heavy advance sale of seats for to-day's matinee. Other soloists will be Mile. Trebelll. who has established herself very strongly in the favor of musical people here; Mr. Friedheim, the pianist; Mr. Town, the tenor, and Mr. Giese. 'celloist. The programme wdll be as follows: Overture "Mignon" Thomas (a) "Intermezzo" Bazlnt (b) "The Mill" Haff String Orchestra. "Rondo Caprlccloso" Salrtt-Saens Mr. Marteau. Aria "Ah. Fors e Lul" ("Tra via ta").. Verdi Mile. Trebelll. "Piano Concerto." No. 2. in A major... Liszt Mr. Friedheim. Aria "Salve Dimora" Gounod Mr. Towne. Violoncello Solo, first movement "Concerto" ; .Volkmann Mr. Giese. Song "Through Sunny Spain" Mattel Mile. Trebelll. Selected Numbers M. Henri Marteau Overture "William Tell" : Rossini The Grent Wnsfner Concert To-NIojlit. The great event of the festival, the Wagner concert, will lake place to-night. Miss Emma Juch, who is to be the principal soloist. Is the greatest Wagnerian soprano in the country, and on this account she was specially engaged for to-night's concert. She will sing a solo, and, wtth Mr. Heinrlah, the great duet from "Flying Dutchman," "Like to a Vision," one of the most impressive numbers ever written. Other features of the programme besides the choral works are the romanza. "O Thou Sublime, Sweet Evening Star" ("Tannhauser"), by Mr. Heinrlch, Lonhengrln's narrative, by Mr. Da vies, th prayer and finale from' "LoTiengrin," and the quintet from "Meisterglnger," by Miss Juch. Miss Stein, Mr. Davies, Mr. Towne and Mr. Babcock. The complete programme. will be as follows: "Rlenzi," Vorsplel Wagner "Flvlng Dutchman." (a) Duet "Like to a Vision." Miss Juch and Mr. Heinrlch. "Tannhauser" Wagner (a) Overture. (b) Romanza VO Thou Sublime, Sweet Evening Star." Mr. Heinrich. (c) Grand March and Chorus "Hall, Bright Abode." Intermission. "Lohengrin" Wagner (a) "Vorsplel."

Miss Juch, Miss Stein, Mr. Davies, Mr. Heinrich and Mr. Babcock. (f) Introduction to Third Act and Bridal Chorus. "Die Meistersinger" Wagner (a) Quintet. Miss Juch, Miss Stein, Mr. Davies, Mr. Towne and Mr. Babcock. (b) Tarts of Finale. Miss Juch. Mr. D ivies. Mr. Heinrich and Chorus. The programme for to-night has been shortened, so that, allowing for all prob-xble encores. It .will not run later thin 10:1." p. m. The choral wcrks are all short. From an artistic and musknl standpoint tills will be the great concert of the' festival. Such an array of artists in a Wagner programme was never before heard in Indianapolis and is net likely to be heard again. Festival Notes. Madame Eames sang for her encore number the ever beautiful "Gocd-bye by Tost I. Miss Stein wore a pink gown w'th a girdle and trimming for the edge of the quaint puff of the sleeves of jet. The directors finally succumbed to the demand for seats and sold admUsion tickets for $1 each for the concert last evening. Miss Nelson, of Fort Wayne; Mrs. Mooney, of Columbus; Miss Gray, of Muncle.' and Mis Say re, of Kansas City, were at the matinee. Mr. Arens -received a handsome basket of flowers during the direction of the "Serenade" Op. 12 for string orchestra, which he gave. Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Spades took Mr. Watkin Mills and Mr. Ben Davies for a drive yesterday morning, and they went to Crown Hill and viewed the city from a distance Mme. Clara Poole-King and Miss Juch had prominent seats in the balcony la?t night, from which point they could sej the large audience and hear the other artists of the festival. Madame Clara Poole-King wore a green brocaded satin skirt, with a corsage of white silk trimmed with apple green velvet for the neck and bands to the b?lt. at the matinee yesterday. The latter .v:re edged with narrow J-n passementerie. The sleeves were a large pun to the elbow, and in small ruffs bandtd with th? velvet to the fiand. Miss Juch were a light green brocaded silk, with black net drawn over the decollete corsage and black flitter lace fell like fringe down the front. A few roses were worn. After her solo she received a large bunch of pink and red roses. Madame Eames wore a majmlflcent gown. It was of rich creim satin. Tne corsage was covered with pearls and the piece for the bodice formed a point over the front and fed almost to the hfm of her dress. About the waist was a hint of green satin and the pearls were beautiful over It. She had a sunburst of diamond! at one side of her corsage, which was very

decollete, and a bunch of violets at tl:e other. Just above her forehead was a diamond, which shone and sparkled above her lovely eyes. She was a radiantly handsome woman.

THE DOCTORS ARE HERE. Thirtieth Annual Meetingrof the Eclectic 31etficai Association. The Indiana State-Medical Association met yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at Lorraine Hall with a large attendance. The president and all the officers of the association were present. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. IJ. F. Morgan. A clinic was presented by N. V. Ylck, which attracted a great deal of attention. The case was discussed by Dr. Russell, of Springfield. O., and Dr. II. Long, of this city. It was that of a patient with a broken back. The fracture occurred in July last and resulted In paralysis of the body below the seat of the injury. The The leading surgeons present decided that the removal of tlje fractured vertebra presented the only chance of -a partial recovery. Several papers were read and discussed by the members. The meeting then adjourned till afternoon. At 2 p. m. the president, Dr. A. P. Hauss, of New Albany, delivered an address. His subject was largely the representative physlclan of the future. He said: "The representative physician of the future will be the middle-aged man who has had a liberal education and has the virtues which make up the representative man. He must have the natural business qualifications that lead to success in any mercantile pursuit. The young man that enters the medical profession may have a collegiate education and write his name A. M., M. D., but without natural business qualification he is a failure. It Is quality not quantity, the medical profession of all schools needs to-day and the sooner we select oui young men to enter the profession the sooner the standard will be raised. We, as Eclectics, should be very choice In selecting young men to enter our school. Kvery community has young men with the professional be? buzzing under his hat and but very few are of the kind that will make the representative physician of the future, when, on the other hand, every community has young men that would be a credit to themselv?s and the profession that have never thought of entering the medical profession. Such young men should be approached by the profession and have a helping hand extended to them. Half a dozen papers were read and discussed during the afternoon and in the evening, after a social meeting of an hour, the doctors banqurted in Lorraine Hall. Professor W. F. Curryer, of this city, gave the address at the banquet. The Doctor discussed the subject of "Volcanoes and Earthquakes." He gave a very interesting account of th3 history of many recorded earthquakes and the wonderful and terrifying effects of volcanic eruptions. After beviewing the various theories advanced bv manv philosophers and showing their fallacies he finally gave the present theory of volcanoes and earthquakes to be- the result of water coming in contact with the subterranean fires and the generation of steam which, being confined, resulted in a power of terrifying proportions. All In all the lecture was highly appreciated and warmly received. Officers will be elected and installed this afternoon and the association will adourn at 5 p. m. THE CRACKER TRUST PEOPLE. They Will Meet To-Day and Banquet To-Night Officers Elected. The United States Baking Company manajrs, some fifty in number, came in from Richmond last night, and will meet at the Bates House to-day to discuss their various Interests. Their names were given in yesterday's Journal. They will banquet at the Bates to-night. Yesterday they met at Richmond In annual session.

Dean was confined In the quarantine at No. 40 Eddy street, and, after being released, sought to gain a livelihood by selling shoe polish. Wherever he called it seemed as if the inhabitants knew that he had been quarantined, and they, being afraid of catching the disease, ordered him abruptly from the premises.

I CITY'S CASES AT LAW

JUDGMENTS IX DAMAGE SUITS ARE BECOMING AXXOYIXG. Council Finn nee Committee Constdcra the Mutter Cost of Compiling Ordlunnres TuxIdk Gam Mnlna. The finance committee of th Common Council met in the city clerk's office last night and took action upon several questions that were presented to It. City Attorney Scott was present to urge upon the committee the needs of the department of law and an appropriation of $6,000 was made for the use of that department. The city attorney presented to the committee several judgments that had been recovered against the city In damage suits. Most of the judgments are for small amounts and several have been standing for some time, and there is a likelihood of the persons holding them taking steps to enforce collection thus making additional costs In the cases which the city would be called upon to pay if something Is not done to relieve the obligation. A portion of the appropriation is also to be used in the street car litigation In which the city Is involved and for which it has contracted indebtedness. The committee also resolved to ask the Council to take steps to ascertain the cost of revising the city ordinances, which work has been slowly in progress for several years past It is estimated that the co3t of this revision will be about $3,000, but the committee which has it In charge has never given any Intimation of what It will ask for Its services and the finance committee desires to have some definite Information upon the question before they order the work printed as prepared by the committee. The question of taxing gas mains within the city will come before the committee at its next meeting, and while none of the members express themselves upon the question it is highly probable that they will recommend the passage of an ordinance requiring the gas companies to pay a certain rate per foot for their mains. The charter gives the city the right to levy this tax and It is thought the committee will take advantage of the power conferred. The committee on contracts and franchises also met In the city clerk's office and resolved to report favorably upon the request of Mummenhoff & Co. for permission to lay a switch across Alabama street between Maryland ana the 'iaduct to connect with the new commission house which they are building on Maryland street. ; Want a SIx-Foot "Walk. A delegation of property owners called at the Mayor's office yesterday to protest against the construction of a seven-foot sidewalk on Illinois street, between St. Clair and Seventli streets. The objection, to the proposed Improvement Is that the walk should be but six ' feet In width. ' Mayor Denny was absent and the citizens explained the object of their visit to the city engineer. After the Llht Bill. City Controller Trusler believes that the city light bill can be materially reduced by cutting off a number of vapor and gas lights located within a snort distance of each other In various portions of the city. He thinks that If the Mayor will poke up the Board of Works a bit the light bill can be reduced at least $2,000 a month. An limine Patient Dead.

On the tirst oceaxlon my tent was blown ovf-r upon me as I lert, and I was left crawling about under the flapping canvas, trying to rind my shoes. When I had emerned 1 found this new kind of hailstorm rather trying to the exposed parts, and I rather prided mystif on my success in re-erecting my houne unaided. The other tents held and their occupants did hot know of my mishap, but every other upright thing was oust down and a number of loose properties went off into the desert. They were all recovered except a sponge, which, being llisht and elastic, hopped off, .miles beyond recovery, and by the next morning might have arrived la the Mahdi's country. The next visitation was In the daytime, when we were on the march. I saw it coming In the distance, a wall of pand cloul sweeping toward us. thouph th atmosphere where we were was still.
