TUE MOzarts had no great trouble
in raising guarantee fund of $4,000 or
$4,000 to bring Theodore Thomas
here. This would argue that if quar-
antine at Presidents island is such a
necessity or boon as claimed by some,
the $24OO needed to run it ought to be
forthcoming at an hours notice. If
the money is not easily raised, it will
prove that the people of Memphis are
not as anxious about it as some who
hope to serve under the old flag and
