PASSING OF THE MARTIAL DRUM.

War Supposed to Have Sealed the Fate* The war between, japan and Russia is regarded by some authorities as naving sealed the fate of the drum. Tne victorious Japanese armies moved from first to last silently, save, for the occasional sound of a bugle. The drum was absolutely absent. Already it had been abolished from some European armies; but no great war has before been fought without it. Military men have been' as a rule great partisans of the “spitit stirring drum.” Marshal Saxe, one of the greatest Generals of the eighteenth century, the conqueror of Fontenoy, declared that thS measured sound made by the drum and fife was indispensable to make men march well. As an illustration of the effect of music in sustained physical movements, he said; 7 “Almost everyone has seen people dance all night, leaping and swinging continually. But let anyone try to dance for two hours without music, and see how miserably he will fail. It is thus with marching. It makes no difference what air is played, provided It is in double or treble time, so that the drums and fifes can take it well. But some such air is necessary.” Another great General, Wellington, contended that without the strains of music it was impossible for troops to make successful charges. Wanting music, the men would come up ragged apd open against the enemy. Napoleon was an ardent defender of the drum. As long ago as his time it was urged by some military .men that it was a barbaric instrument, which dulled the most sensitive ear by its monotonous sounds, and that it had not proper place in modern warfare. “The drum,” answered the Corsican “imitates the cannon. It is the best musical instrument in the world; for it never gets out of tune.” It is a mistake to assume that the drum is unmusical. All musical authorities have agreed that when used in the proper way it is thoroughly musical. The common snare or side drum is freely used in musical composition. A large number of drummers perforing simultaneously out of doors produce good music. Berlioz the composer said that a sound which was insignificant when heard singly, such as the clink of one or two musKets at shoulder arms, or the thyd .as the butt end came to the ground at ground arms, became brilliant and attractive if performed by a thousand men simultaneously.—A Scrap Book.

RENTING CAMERAS.

A New Branch of the Photographic Business —Tourists the Chief Customers. One can hire a harp or a steam boiler, a diving suit or a typewriter. In fact there is any article or appliance of use that one may not hire. Among the comparatively later additions to the list are cameras. It might be supposed that anybody sufficiently interested in photography to want to take pictures would own a camera, but not all so interested do own one. Here, for instance, is a man convalescing after a long Illness, and with some weeks of idleness to look forward to before he can go back to work or business. He thinks he would like to take some pictures on the days when he can get.out, and he doesn’t want to buy a camera, for perhaps he would have no opportunity to use it later, so he hires one for his present use. Then too, there are people who may wanLiS hire a camera for some temporary business use and there are people owning cameras who may want a bigger camera or one of another sort from the one they own, for some special purpose or occasion. But the greater number of cameras rented are hired by tourists, visitors from vart 3 - ous parts of the country who find when they get here that they want to take pictures. One dealer in photographic instruments and supplies who rents cameras will rent large instruments of any dimensions If sufficient time Is given to prepare them. Easily portable cameras of various kinds and sizes he keeps ready for Instant delivery. Cameras are rented at from 50 cents a day up, according to the camera. From those not personally known a deposit of the value of the camera Is required when It is taken out, the amount of the rent being deducted from this when the camera is returned. Summer is the season when most cameras are rented.

Business and Love.

Do men love women less than they did, and do women love men less than they dldT are two curious questions In the United States and in England. It has come about that the men pursue the making of money and their various ambitions more than they ever did before, and that women are not compelled to marry as they were formerly. Love is not so irresistible a factor as It was. says "Marmaduke” in the Graphic, and there is a tendency for the members of either sex to retire to opposite camps, and snarl at each other. "We will marry,” say many of the women, "when you can make it worth our while;” "We will marry," say many of the men, “when we find a wife who stall improve our proepectsl"

Commencement at St. Joseph's

The Commencement Exercises which will be held in the College "Auditorium, Wednesday morning, June 17, will be fittingly introduced the previous evening by the rendition of Shakespeare’s play Henry IV. The play has been adapted for college presentation, and we are modest in stating that an exceptional treat awaits our patrons and friends. The cast has been 1- chosen with utmost care and severe discrimination from a large number of available material. The character of Falstaff especially, Shakespears master creation of the comic, the embodiment’ of wit, wisdom and folly, is in the hands of the competent actor, Mr. Ott Muehlenbrink, who leaped into prominence on his very first appearance before the footlights. Henry IV is a play that appeals to all classes of people, intellectually to the cultured and, perhaps in a higher degree, in its comic scenes to everybody. The opportunity to witness a Shakespearian play does not present itself often and Shakespeare, when rendered well, even by amateurs, never fails to be interesting . and instructive. A cordial invitation, therefore, is extended to all. The play opens at 8:00 o’clock P. M., Tuesday, June 16th. Admission 25 cents. It appears Just now that the patrons of the Garrick theatre and everybody else in Chicago who enjoys something new and novel in the way of a musical entertainment are likely to find an agreeable surprise at this theatre. “The Flower of the Ranch,” which is described as a musical comedy In three acts is being offered there nightly-* with the usual matinees. The company recently closed a successful engagement at the Majectlc Theatre, New York. Miss Mabel Barrison who leads the company and Joseph L. Howard who wrote the book, lyrics and music, and plays the principal male part, awoke one morning to find themselves famous and learned through the morning papers that “The Flower of the Ranch” was “the one real big musical comedy hit” of the current theatrical season. Had this play been produced on Broadway earlier in the season and had the benefit of a cast of principals whose names are familiar eyerywhere; had the book been wiitten by the most renowned playwright and the lyrics

by Cook or Rankin, or the music by one of the three American composers whose names are best known, its success could not have been more pronounced. If the .crjtics are to be believed, Mr. Howard has written a book that might have been played as a comedy drama without the music and been successful; but it Is to tbe musln that the measure of praise has been fullest. The play which is a musical comedy in three acts, tells the story of the love of a girl who has grown to young womanhood as the adopted daughter of a cattleman, her mother having been killed in the wreck of a stage coach from which the child was a survivor. Among the foothills of Southern California, she has romped and ridden among the rough but kind hearted people of that region. She has fallen in love i with Jack Farnum, the owner of a ; nearby ranch, whose possessions have been coveted by an unscrupulous sheriff. The latter aided by a Mexican contrives to steal certain documents in an attempt to betray his associate. Little Flower aids in recovering proofs of ownership to the property and eventually turns out to be the owner herself.
