greatest musical treats admirers of church
music may nope 10 have in this city for
some time 10 cume. Father Allen is cele-
brated as musician in his society. He
has Travelled in Europe and America,
studied music in it many phases here aud
abroad. and organized and led male chOirs
in the East.
His chief aim in regard to sacred music
has always been the development of a true
feeling toward grave and devotional melo-
dies. which once formed would lead musi-
clans in Catholic choirs away from the
dramatic and operate styles that are too
popular now.
In the highest sense Catholic church
choirs should be composed Of male voices
to conform with long established ideas
The music should be intended to arouse
devotional feelings instead Of distracting
worshipers. With all this in view the
choir of hundred mems voices was or
gained in ST. Ignatius Church.
Tomorrow its best effort will be heard
in the rendering of Facunier's beautiful
mass and Mozart's most solemn credo.
The choir has been iehearsing for the fes-
tival for several evenings. so they will sing
in perfect harmony and unison on Sunday.

An Individual of Whom the East Had
Better Beware

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Lambert Slosser
and his 12-ypar-old boy, William. walked
into the Hoboken police station last night
and asked for lodgings. SlOsser said he
lived at 81 Main street, San Francisco, and
had walked across the continent ON his way
to Germany.
Slosser said: II came from Wiesbaden
about one year ago and located in San
Francisco. / worked two months, and
was accidently injured and went to the
hospital. / brought from Germany $1255,
which l intended to invest in a home.
While in the hospital my brother-in-law.
John Lumbert, searched the house for
money. He was ordered out, and after
ward burned the house. My wife and
twins persisted In the fire. Lumbert
got the money and fed. He was csught
in Milwaukee. Wis. taken back to Califor-
MIA and sent to State prison for life. Then
my boy and l, both penniless. started on
our walk East. / was advised to ask the
German Consul at New York to send US
home. 1t took four months and fourteen
days to walk from San Francisco, and we
were often without food"
The police gave Slosser lodgings in the
City Hall and some clothing.
Captain Hayes will see the German Con.
sui. Tae'captain thinks Slosser's story
true.
Inquiries were made at the police head
quarters in this city with reference to the
statements made by SlOsser. No such
anne as John Lumbert could be found on
the records as having been sent to the
State prison for the charge stated by
SlOsser.
Slosser's story is not believed. as the
oldest officials of the department could not
recall any such fatality as told by Sl0sser
TO the New York police.

DEFICIENCY IN THE TREASURY.

SACRAMENTO. Aug. At having been
statee that the deficiency of SS50,000 was
caused by the tax levy being less than the
appropriations made by the Legislature.
Deputy State Controller Douglass states
that the supposition is erroneous. 1t has
been caused by the large appropriations
being made Immediately available. The
Legislature cost $1,000 900 ana the coyote
claims 100000 more, which was not pro-
vded for by the last tax levy. The ind
gent claims of several counties were also
unexpected and had never been presente ed
before. The deficiency will be felt next
year and the year after more than this.
Had the tax for the past two years been
levied for the full limit, so cents for the
