The Musical Union Adopts q New Rule In
Regard to Orchestras.
The Musical union Of Helena at its meet
ing on Sunday last passed q resolution the
effect of which is az follows: That here
after at a theatrical performance, or any
public entertainment or dance, the orohes-
ira shall consist of not less than six pieces:
and that ut a private entertainment or
dance not less than four pieces shall be I'M
ployed. The new order was brought about,
it is said by members of the union, by the
fact that three, four or five pieces were be-
ing employed in orchestras at public enter
tainments, and two pieces, a piano and a
violin. at private affairs. One or two of
the members, who nave been getting
the lions share of the private bust
ness. ook on the move Of the
union as directed against them, and
threaten to cut loose from the orRaniza-
ton. In that case the present lack of
harmony will be turned into absolute dis
cord, as a musical war will be inaugurated
which will only end with the humiliation
of the chromatic scale. The musical union
of Helena has thirty-three members. This
comprises pretty nearly all the musicians in
the CITY. Their new scale of prices, adopted
about a month ago, makes the minimum
price for theatrical orchestra pieces 81, and
for dances and private parties, $3.50. If
each piece could be had ut the minimum it
would make the cost for music at each
theatrical performance 1924, and at each
private entertainment or dance $50.

EXCEEDING THE REVENUE.
More Appropriation Bills Passed
Than the State Can Pay
This Year.

Revenue to Catch
Up.
County Tax St~Atement-The Supreme
Court Holds Its First Session Under
the New Law

The legislature has appropriated more
money than the state revenues amount to
under the two and one-half mills levy au-
,horized by the constitution and other
sources of income. Just how the financial
matters Of the state stand Treasurer Hick-
man cannot tell definitely until the legisla-
ture adjourns and an end put to appropria-
ton bills for the present. Under the ex-
listing laws he cannot now say what shall be
the order of precedence in the payment Of
the appropriations made. He knows, how
ever, that there will not be funds enough
in the state treasury to pay them all, unless
there ia DO meeting Of the legislature until
1898 and the funds collected for 1892 are
used in paying appropriations made
for 1891. When the legislature adjourns
the treasurer will get the opinion
of the attorney general on the question
concerning the order in which the appro-
priations should be paid. Another matter
that he wants legal advice about is On
corning a fund of $4,000 which has COL
lected in the treasurylfrom escheated estates
and which, in the absence of any other leg
islation, belongs to the general school fund.
When the legislature commenced passing
appropriation bills there was $132,OOO on
hand. after paying the supreme and dis
triot Judges and officers in the several state
departments and other charges against the
state. The treasurer had before him yes
terday q list of the appropriation bills
passed by the legislature mp to last Satur-
day night and others which will probably
be passed before adjournment tomorrow.

Manager DAILY Notified.

Below is a copy of a communication
which Manager DAILY, of Ming's opera
house, received by mail yesterday.
Manager Daily, Ning's opera house, Hell
ena, Mont.-Dear Sir: l an instructed by
the Musicians Mutual Protective union Of
this city to inform you that by a resolution
passed by the regular meeting the orohes-
tras for service in Ming's opera house must
be composed Of not less than six men,
and that the pay for same must be not less
"a per performance. We hope you will
acceed to these demands without trouble as
we are II a position to enforce them If
necessary. BY order of the M. M. p. U.
Louis DE LEsTRy. Secretary.
= Helena, Mont, March 2, 1889.
The original bears the impress of the Mu-
sician's Mutual Protective union seal. Mr..
DAILY showed the paper to Prof. Romandy,
the leader of the orchestra at Ming's and a
member of the union, who said he knew
nothing about the action of the union. At
ordinary performances about four local
musicians are employed at 81 for an even
ings work. Mr.. Daily feels indignant over
the action of the union and showed the let
ter to a number of people yesterday. As
there is no difference about the rate of COM
pensation the manage does not understand
why the union should dictate to him the
number of musicians he should employ.

held between the employers and employees,
but nc settlement could be reached. The
ultimatum was that all the painters were
called out yesterday. About ten left the
Ross shop and about the same number left
Teutenberg. About fifty painters are on
the strike.

To Remodel the oper. House.

It is understood that Mrs. Ming contem-
plates widening the stage of the Opera
house and making other needed improve
ments some time in April or May. She has
not been in the house for over two years
and knows its condition only from what
she has heard. Ta.day Mrs. Ming will visit
the building and get a good idea of what
changes are necessary. A larger stage is
undoubtedly needed, as was demonstrated
during the Juch engagement. :.Suchla change
will necessarily lead to many others which
would greatly improve the house. No bet
ter or more welcome change could be made
than to put in a good heating plant.

during the last hours of the session Of
which the treasurer has not now any infor-
nation and are not given in his list.
To meet this heavy demand on the treas
ury Mr.. Hickman says he can see no other
way than to use some of the funds to be
collected in 1892. For the present year he
has received none of the state moneys
due from the several counties except Lewis
and Clarke, which has paid it's proportion,
being a little over $4,000.
The treasurer gives..the following estimate
as the revenue for 1891:
Ad yalorem levy of IN mills on $l1s.-
u0O,OG0 $2S7 500
Licenses 115UOO
Fees and commissions from state depart
Insurance fees, auditors office. ...... 5'C00
Fees boiler inspector. 1910
Total revenue ... .SI6.OOO
The treasurer thinks this is a close esti-
mate OF the revenues obtainable from all
sources. He does not think the total will
vary more than 5000 either way when the
amounts are all paid into the treasury. A
comparison of the totals given shows, in
round numbers, there will probably be
$10S. 600 appropriated in excess of the total
revenue obtainable this year. IF the leg
~islature does not meet again until '93 the
revenue twill catch up with the appropria-
tions and there will be a surplus on hand"
said the treasurer. -
1t is not a very inviting prospect to secure
none for the proper exhibition of Mon
tana at the Worlds Fair. However, it is
understood that the necessary funds for
this purpose will be furnished from private
sources which will look to the legislature at
the proper time for reimbursement.
