A RARE MUSICAL TREAT.
Song Service by the Choir OF st.

Lovers of classical music were given
treat last night such as is rarely accorded

The choir showed very careful training and
rendered the dinieUlt selections III very
satisfactory manner: -
Miss Fannie Arnold the directress Of the
choir rendered Eaure'S "SanCta Maria in
manner which rehegted great credit upon the
singer The number was very difficult one
and required the moSH careful execution. 1t
was well suited to Miss Arnold's rich, sweet
voice, and, had the, entertainment been in
been warmly applaYded.
One of the features of tn programme was
the rendition of Vefdi's 20 Salutars," " by
Mrs, Edward CudaAy. This lady has voice

Sleeping in Wayne County.

WAYNE, Neb., May 1T.-[Special to The
BEE. Wayne county is one of the very few
in the state where the alliance is making no
headway and doing nothing to effect an or
ganization. Considerable interest was mani
tested in the matter three years ago, and the
order fourished for a year or more, but the
interest has gradually subsidized and there
has not been meeting OF the
county alliance for mouths The
same is true of the subordinate
alliances, most of which have practically
ceased to exist. One of the members who

ance in the county originally thinks there is

SIX GENERATIONS.
A Family Whose United Ages Equal
1000 Years.


ga thousand years in one household
(illka sen-nen) is an old Japanese saying,
employed with reference to an event
which, in respect of extreme rarity, may
be classed with the sight of a dead
donkey or tinker's funeral, says the
New York Times. The Hochi Shimbun
says that an instance may at present be
found in the household of merchant
called Mizuma Gensuke, who resides at
KanaZawa, in the Saltama district of
following members: Great-great-great
Grandpapa Gengo, aged one hum
dred and thirty; Great-great-
great Grandmamma Toni, aged one
hundred and thirty-two; Great-great
Grandpapa Gembei, aged one hundred
and one: Great-great Grandmamma Mi
yo, aged ninety; Great-great Gpand-aunt
Yoshi, aged one hundred and five; Great
Grandpapa Gensulte. aged eighty-one;
Great tGrandmamma Kimi, aged seventy
nine; Grandpapa Gempachi, aged sixty
one; Grandmamma Toyo, aged sixty;
Papa Genkichi, aged forty; Mamma
Tomo, aged thirty-eight; Uncle Cen
rullo, aged thirty-fve: Son Geushichi,
aged fourteen; Daughter Tollis aged
five. The united ages of the
of last year to $50, and conse-
quently became 994 on the first day of
this year, according to the Japanese
method of calculation. Next New Years
day, supposing that death has not inter-
vened meanwhile, the aggregate ages
would be 1,00S, and as 994 is nearer 1000
than 1,00S, the family have resolved to
celebrate their illka sen-nen this spring
by visit to the shrine of Ise, and after
ward to Kyoto, where the whole four
teen, from the little tot of five to tho
gray head--if he still has any hair-0f
one hundred and thirty, will do their
ight-seeing in company.

The views of Alexander Hamilton on
the tariff were correctly stated by Hen
ry Cabot Lodge, in his biography of
Hamilton, where he says: "Hamilton
was a protectionist, favoring the pro-
lection of nascent industries. At the
present day he would probably be fore
most in urging revision of the tariff
and gradual reduction of duties when
ever it could be safely done. In other
words, he would now be moderate
protectionist, as he was when he sent
in his report, but not one of those who
support a heavy duty, in order to fur
nish to industries already firmly estab-
lished protection which accrues solely
to the benefit of the manufacturers and
of no one else"

Strangers coming in, and citizens
visiting abroad, agree in saying that
Lewiston is the topic of special interest
in every section of the country. Its
advantages, its prospective growth and
glorious indications are we'll known to
spectators and capitalists everywhere
about us. Business men, capitalists
and spectators keep well up with
every movement made pointing to our
development. Lewiston is soon to be
the central point of rapid and prodi-
gious development. Every tide is set
ting in her favor, and the current
of events will soon carry us to a pros
porous future.

There appears to be some doubt in
Washington about the validity of the
tariff act because of the omission of one
section. While the act is not response
BILE for half the evils which the demo-
cratic stump speakers ascribe to it, there
is no doubt that the country would go
prosperously on its way should Mr..
McKinley's bill never have a chance to
perform its full mission. The bill has
some excellent features, such as the
wool and lead schedules and the reci-
procity addendum, but its general ten
dency Is toward increased duties and

During the last two years the Board
of Trade of Boise City has made an Or
ganized effort to advertise that city.
1t has advertised in hundreds of news
papers and published at various times
5000 maps, 10000 pamphlets, 5000
special newspaper issues, 10000 folders,
$500 city plats and 1000 views of the
city. The fruits of their labor have
been repaid this year. The monthly
sales of real estate rose from 5000 to
$4,000 per month. Prices of real es-
tate have arised more than 100 per
cent. All the lands adjoining the
original city plats have been purchased
and subdivided for additions. Capital
is interested and enterprise and wealth
are making our capital city hum witt
increased activities. This illustration
carries moral which we sincerely
hope our city fathers will apply to tn,
present situation.

Hon. Fred. II. Dubois, in recent in
terview with reporter of the Evening
Star, Washington, ID. c., says of the
late election: 1.-THE older states could
well take lesson from the conduct of
our first state election. We had a full
state ticket, a member of Congress for
short and long term, county and pre-
cinct officers, three judges Of the SUI
preme court, five district judges, five
district attorneys and fifty-four men,
bers of the legislature to elect, who will
select two United States Senators, yet
during the entire campaign from be-
ginning to end there was no personal
abuse of candidates, no calumnies, no
attacks on private character by public
speakers on either side or through the
organized committees Of either party.
OF course individuals did not like
other individuals and human nature
cropped out in the form of personal
| fights on certain candidates in different
localities, and occasionally some news
paper would savagely attack candi-
date, but, altogether, the campaign
was conducted on a high plane, and
now that the battle is over our people
are at once friendly add united, and,
as in the past, will join together cor
daily on any proposition looking to
the advantage of the state" Later in
the same interview, when asked con-
corning the available senators from
the new state, he gave the reporter the
following regarding Judge Clagett and
Gov. Shoup: "Judge Clagett :repre-
sented Montana in Congress in 1872.
He has been pioneer for many years,
living in the Black Hills Dakota,
Nevada, and came to the Occur
d'Alenes in Idaho some six years ago.
He was born near here, in Maryland,
and has many relatives of his name in
and near Washington. He is an able,
honorable, pure, honest man of won.
derful oratorical ability, and while he
lacks the power of attracting men to
him personally, has many admirers
and would be credit to any state
Gov. Shoup is the opposite of Judge
Clagett. He has no oratorical gifts
and claims none, but his traits of char
acter are such as to bring him very
close to the people. He is honest and
honorable and manly and is possessed
of rare good sense. He has fewer
enemies and more friends than any
man in Idaho. If either or both o.
thess gentlemen are selected, Idaho
Acan well be proud of her Senator's"
