THE DOLLAR LIMIT IN CHICAGO.

The Finance Committee of the Chicago
Common Council reports that the total
amount asked for by the several depart
meuts of the city government must be re-
dUced by SIS. 592, CA, for the reason that the
present revenues of the city fall short in
that sum Of the estimates. The council ad-
mits that the whole amount asked for
81, O27, 600-is needed, but it sees no way to
raise the full amount. Eight millions is
tainly a small expenditure for city of

nal tax. The assessed value Of personal
property is only SIS, sec, 514, while the per-
sonal property not assessed cannot fall
much short of ten times that amount. The
Chicago Herald recommends a system of
licenses more comprehensive than that now
in operation to make up the required reve-
nues. The remedy proposed is not free
from objection As a rule, licenses are a
lax on industry. There are branches of
business which from their nature add to the
eity's expenses which may properly be sub
iect to an especial tax, but as few obstacles
as possible should be thrown in the way of
man who wants TO earn an honest living.
There are in tits city, and in most other
American cities, small industries requiring
gu. little capital which men may engage in
when no obstacle is presented in the form
Of license tax The better way is to collect
the money the city needs from the aecumu-
Iation of industry, leaving industry with as
light a burden as may be POSSIBLE.

MRS. HENDR1CKsoN,s MUSICAL
The Piano Recital Given Last Night Pro-
nounced a Splendid Treat

One of the rarest treats of the season IN
the musical line was the piano recital
| given last night in the large hall over
| Shaw's music store By the pupils of Mrs.
| 5. L. Hendrickson of this city The hall
was well filed with delighted auditors,
all representatives of the best elements of
Wichita society. 1t was a decidedly
pleasant affair and a profitable one for
Mrs. Hendrickson, for it demonstrated to
those present that her faculty as q music
teacher is simply superb. By the way,
Mrs. Hendrickson is one Of If not en-
tlrely the oldest teacher OF music in the
city, having been here for over twelve
years, and many of the most accomplished
ladies now in the city received
their first instructions IN music from
her. Her reputation as an able
music teacher has long been known and
she sustained it again last night, for the
boys and girls who played showed that
they received their lessons from no one but
an accomplished musician. 1t was really
wonderful to observe how children so
young could touch the keys with such
nicely and produce such harmonious notes.
While they were all good and received
generous but well merited applause, never
theless Miss Stella Wilson was the star
performer of the occasion. Her rendition
OF the alpine Storm" was simply beauti-
full and was received by the audience with
enthusiastic and we'll merited applause.
Miss Ethel Woodcock also made her
mark during the performance. This young
girl has taken lessons only one term, and
yet she touched the keys in manner that
,I1 -,
might well envy.
1t is source of great pleasure TO observe
how cieveriy the musical talent of chill
dren so young can be developed under the
care and charge OF an instructress pos
sessed OF true ability. 1t was especially
source of pleasure to the parents and
friends OF the pupils who took part in the
performance The following is the pro-

knew him well rs he was agent fer the

knew HIM as a very thoughtful fellow who
always seemed to be figuring on some big
scheme, and Mr. Mccormick sized him up
right, for Harris is now almost million

product Of his thought and study. After
leaving here he went TO Kentucky and on
the capital of a sister-in-law, who also lived
in Wichita for some time. he was enabled
TO carry out plans he had formed TO sue
cessful completion. An idea of these plans
can be CLEANED from the following extract
from the CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette
Of recent date. The Gazette SAYS:

bushel OF coal of fifty pounds was weighed,
and in five minutes after being placed in

tuent parts il is not known, as they have

declared TO be so perfect that nothing is
left save a few ashes. The fuel can be
placed in the retort, and the gas from it is
forced into the furnace. Thus ali the fuel

THE ORGAN RECITAL

ond grand organ recital. Mrs. A. G..
Walden, Wichi5a's fsvoriee soprano, viii
be the vocalist OF the occasion aud Mr..
Sherman Skinner will play the violin OBJ,
ligato in the well known Bzchs-Gounod
Ave Maria" Mrs Walden will sing as
her second number the beautiful recita-
tive and aria from Concones judith. I"
This is certainly one Of the most brilliant
and dramatic arias from the pen OF this
master Mr.. MacLachlau will play all
accomplishments as well as his organ
work
Il may interest some people to know
that Mr.. MacLachlan has had the honor
of playing TO her majesty, Queen Victoria,
who, by the way in her younger days, was
a very accomplished organist and is still
devoted to organ music. Mr. MacLachian
has played in all the big cities of Engla nd
with very marked success. He is in every
sense Of the word, a great yirtuoso and
will be greeted with large and enthusi-
astic audience. AS there is such a demand
for seats the management have placed a
plan of the church in Hyde & Humble's
book store, where seats can be had and all
reserved. This has been found to be a
necessity, as there are lots OF people who
will go when they are assured that they
can secure good seat in advance and not
have TO take chances of standing throug b

ADJUSTMENTS.

Theatrical managers are all times pun
ziing their brains trying TO get up some
thing in the line OF originality in adver-
tisenents to catch the eye and interest tbs
public. About the latest Ehat has come
before our notice, and what caused quite a
sensation on Main street yesterday alter
noon, was an original and amusing idea
from the active minds of two young and
energetic theatrical managers who are
trying TO euthuse public interest in the

Business Manager Thayer approached

SOMETHING ABOUT INSANITY.

Sheriff Cone escorted Charlie Blevins to
Lansing night before last and Sam Svon-
son to Topeka, the former to the peliten-
tiary and the latter to the asylum. There
are two more insane persons now waiting
and they will be taken to Topeka in q few
days. 1t is not generally understood that
an insane person costs the county more
than a criminal, everything else being
equal, and therefore the commissioners
are DESTROYS that as few persons as possible
will go crazy this year. A criminal costs
the county only what i5 costs TO arrest,
try feed and take him to the pen, while
an insane person will cost fully 500 extra,
for none of them will be admitted
into the asylum without first class ward
robe. The men must have three suits OF
overlooking as well as Undertaking, one
pair of boots, one pair Of slippers. one hat,
one pair of suspenders and six pair Of
socks, and a woman must be provided
with three suits of clothing, both over and
under, six pairs OF stockings, one bonnet
or hat, one pair of shoes, one pair of slip
pers and one good comfortable shawl
And all of these must be bought by the
county in which the patient is tried and
found insane. The cost of taking insane
people TO the asylum is about four times
as much, under the law, as taking Grim
inal to the penitentiary, but in this county
the sheriff agreed some time ago not to
charge more for making one trip than the
other
