The Morris MnsicaIa.

many AohS udy HhFC
the people of Mexico been per-
mitted to witness a fairer scene or
listen to the rendition of a more
carefully prepared programme than
on Saturday night at Lakeview,
the beautiful suburban home of
George A. Morris. Music lovers
and others have been on tiptoe
with anticipation for some weeks;
and in this case, though contrary
to the usual rule, the realization
was more pleasurable than the
expectation.
Lakeview is specially suited to
affairs of this sort. Although over
two hundred and fifty guests were
present no n was crowded and
the evening passed off without the
slightest jar or confusion. The
whole of the lower floor of the
superb mansion was thrown into
onespacious room; the murmur of
voices, peals of laughter, strains of
of sweet music and bursts of APP
plause succeeded each other and
commingled, wearing the delight
full evening away rapidly-indeed,
too rapidly.
No small amount of credit is due
the Misses Morris for the immense
success of the entertainment and
the excellence of the programme.
Every number was encored and
every number richly deserved it.
In this instance comparison would
indeed be odious. Those who
took part in the entertainment are:
Misses Morris, Miss Carrie Lack
land, Mrs. Robert Atkinson, st.
Louis; Miss Hattie Dickinson, st.
Louis; Mrs. Matte Hardy, St.
Louis, and Mr.. Francois Xavier.
The programme was as follows:

The following letter from last weeks Hus-
bandman will be Of interest to woolgrowers,
il To NO one else:
CuIcaGO, July %, 1SSS.
Editor Hushandman - Since our late
financial trouble we have had II little more
free al vertising than we cared for; generally.
thanks to the press, in very kindly spirit,
but as he papers have given various YER
sions Of the affair, with your permission ]
will state briefly that since the reduction ri
tariff ON wool in 1883 that staple has
steadily declined, until now il is worth
about half the price it brought in 1881.
For the past four years wool has declined
about four cents per pound per year.
OF the clip of 1856 we handled about
three million pounds on a decline of at least
four cents per pound. resulting in "a shrink
age Of about S12o,OOO. We struggled
against great odds through 1887, hoping
that the war cloud in Europe or little
common sense in congress might change the
current, but the inevitable still followed us
with II decline Of four to seven cents per
pound ON the clip Of 1887.
We had large stock Of wool ON hand
when the president issued his free wool
message, which made it impossible to sell
any large line of wool, excepting at ruin
ously low prices.
Ia June. however. we made u sale of GOO,-
900 pounds of wool at prices about four
cents below what the wool was worth be-
lore the free wool message and Mills biil
came out, a shrinkage Of S2i,O in that
one sale.
We are not politicians and have no com
ments to make, We only state the facts and
know that the free wool policy OF the presi-
dent and his party has landed us in bank
ruptey. Bradstreet estimates that the
wool dealers Of the country have lost in the
tm" years of 1857 S27 ,OoO,O 900. What
other branch Of trade could stand such n
and live?
