THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.

NJ ss Juchs L .rtngjt3s Did Spt Prevent
 Hec From Singing in New York Last
 Night.
 The concert of the Boston Festival or chestra in City hall Saturday night was at- tended by over one thousand people. The work of the orchestra and soloists was of a high order, but there was great disappoint- ment over the absence of Miss Emma Juch who telegraphed late Saturday after noon announcing that she was suffering from laryngitis.
 Rev Dr Anderson made the announce ment to the audience that Miss Juch was not present and all who desired were in vited to call at the box office, where their money would be refunded Of course nc one left the hall yet there were many dis satisfied ones who took the announcement of the prima do2nO's illness ''cum garano solis."
 Mir Stewart, manager of the orchestra, said he had no intimation that Miss Juch would not sing here, until Saturday after noon and felt sure that the lady's illness was not feigned. Be that as it may Miss Juch sang in the Metropolitan opera house in New York last night and the Sun says that the number, Gounods Ave Maria, " was given with great effect and had to be repeated to satisfy the audiences enthusi- asm.
 The local managers af the concert We're undoubtedly blnmeless Tn the matter, but nevertheless, the disappointment, the second within two years. will cause music loving people to be a little suspicious when any of the great artists are booked for Wa terburV in the future

Another Meeting of Organization Leaders
 to Be Held.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 30.-The labor con- ference called together in this city by Jo- seph Buchanan adjourned its secret ses- sion after deciding to meet again on Sept. II at a place to be selected by Chairman Buchanan. Before adjournment the fol lowing resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, Your committee has considered the various propositions offered, and believe that the mere fact that this conference has been held is living evidence that the organized la bor sentiment of the country is a unit on the fundamental truths that underlie the labor problem and
 Whereas, This body recommends that the official conferences which we are assured will soon be held between the Knights of Labor and the other national organizations should take such steps as will lead to agreement for united action of labor's forces in the industrial and legislative field; therefore be it
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this body that the conference between the representa- tives of the organizations herein referred to should be held on or before the 2d day of July, and in the event that the labor convention called for by the general executive board of the Knights of Labor is not held by the foregoing date the chairman of this conference is hereby authorized to issue call for a conference on Sept. If.
 Resolved, That this conference hereby recom- mends to the labor forces of America to united ly resist any further reduction of wages and to energetically renew our efforts for the reduc- tion of the hours of labor
 Resolved, That we urge all working people to unite their efforts in such action shall secure that legislation for which all phases of the la bor movement have contended, to the end that the industrial class may have full recognition of their rights in the laws of the land.
 The place for holding the September con- vention will be, it is thought, a western city, as was suggested by James P. Me Guire on Saturday. President Gompers of the Federation was not enthusiastic when the idea of holding another convention was broached. He said he was opposed to it.

FIVE WERE LOST,
Burning of the Famous St. Charles Hotel
 In New Orleans.


 In New Orleans.
 NEW ORLEANS, April 30.-It is believed that five persons lost their lives in the St. Charles hotel fire. One man leaped from the fourth story and was almost instantly killed while four men and one womten were seen to leap from the iron staircase leading from the rear of the building and were lost to view in the court which looked to be almost solid mass of flames. One man made his escape into the street, but nothing was seen of the others. It was also reported that d child was missing, but this lacks confirmation.
 The St. Charles hotel was one of the most famous hostelries ill the country It was owned by the St. Charles Potel asso citation, and its proprietor was Colonel Bob Rivers, well known in political, social and racing circles all over America.
 The St. Charles possessed a magnificent colonnade and was a very imposing look ing structure. It's office rotunda was a general rendezvous for all New Orlcansans, and in times of political excitement it was the great place of meeting in the Crescent City.
 Many personal encounters occurred in it, and no less than 20 fatal shooting affrays took place within its bounds. The destruc- tion of this hotel obliterates not only southern, but national landmark.
