Band Concert.

The band concert, Saturday evening
was very literally patronized. The
program =, was we'll rendered. The
Tuba Fantasia by G. S. Neuman re-
ceiving a hearty encore. p. Larkins,
in his baritone solo, caught the
audience by his skillful manipulation
and got a well-deserved applause. Re-
quest was sent up for a repetition of
two selections by the band, which were
again played. The orchestra was the
recipient of long and continued ap-
plause. The mandolin club was a
splendid feature of the entertainment
and got a good recognition for their
music. The Musicians Circus' was
we'll carried out and evoked much mer-
riment. Dan Spaulding, as the some
what tipsy Irish leader, created a great
round of laughter. The cornet solo by
Charles Wasem, was well-played and
got him a good hand. At the close
came the most laughable feature of the
evening, the well-known farce. The
"Book Agent" by home talent. DIV
Spaulding acting the part of the gen
tleman, Ed. Evens as the persisten'
agent, and George Staples as the
negro. The farce has been rendered
several times in the last few years, but
never with the vim given it by thu
boys Saturday night. The concert wa
the first of a series to be given a

AerOnauticS.

We do not know at how early date
man first envied the birds their power
OF passage through the air, but there
is no allusion in classical lore to any
practical attempts, unless the story of
Daedalus and Icarus has some founda-
ton in fact. The first trial at aerial
transportation is little more than a
century ago, when, on June 5, 1884, the
Montgolfer brothers, at Annonay, near
Lyons, France, sent up a small balloon
Inflated with hot air, but no person ac-
companied it. The following October
one Roster made an ascension at Paris,
the balloon being inflated with hydro
gen gas. The dates of first ascensions
across the channel are: England, Aug.
81, 1884; Ireland, January 10, 1855.
Coal gas was first used for imitation
July 10, 1921, the coronation day of
George ~, of England. There have
been some frightful accidents to aero
nauts, but really ballooning is not
particularly dangerous. From 1888 to
1889, ffty-six years, four hundred and
seventy-one persons made ascensions,
many of them a great number of times,
and only nine were killed or fatally
| injured. But, though balloon ascen-
sions can be easily and safely made,
no reliable method of direction has
been discovered, so that practical
navigation of the air does not seen
near at hand. For a time, then, we
must rely upon the railroads as 9
means of travel, and are really quite
well off when such comprehensive anc
well-equipped systems as the Burling

The Childish voice Too Much.

A good story is told of Signor Foil,
the famous basso Once upon time he
was singing The Raft, when a child
ish voice from somewhere in the stalls
suddenly piped in and attempted to or
ganize an impromptu duet. Unfortu-
nately the next line of the song was:
"Harkl What sound is that which
breaks upon mine earl" This SO tickled
the fancy Of the great vocalist that he
burst into a hearty fit Of laughter and
left the platform, followed by the pi-
anist. Twice they came back and at
tempted the song, and finally they had
to give it up in despair. much to the
amusement Of the audience.

Not a wave of trouble rolled across
the political field on election day in
Princeton. Everybody seemed to feel
in good humor. No long-winded ora
tors button-holed the voter. There
was considerable call for instruction in
relation to the tickets, which was care
fully and cheerfully given by the
judges. There was some fault-fnding
about the system of voting, but gener-
ally, the best Of good humor prevailed.
The old-time, nauseating hauling and
pulling to influence voters has been
eliminated, and the most timid, may
vote with perfect freedom. 4.

A BOMB IN ROME.

The Anarchists have been at work in
Rome. The explosion just outside the
Chamber of Deputies last night might
have been much more destructive than 1,
proved. AS 1t was. It wounded eight
persons, one Of whom Is expected to die
al any moment, while two or three
others are dangerously hurt
1t Is supposed that the bomb was de-
signed to explode just as the Deputies
were leaving the Chamber. and that
the object was to take as many of their
lives as possible, 1t is the Anarchist
idea of destroying those WHO are the rep
resentatives OF government. but, az usual.
the blow falls on innocen; people, and on
those even who may be in sympathy with
the murdercrs. The design was inter
Tered with by the accidental adjourn
ment OF the Chamber at much earlier
hour than usual Premier Crispi had n
cold. and he asked for a pog;punement
or certain questions under discussion In
consequence. This incident may have
saved the lives of some OF the D"putlea.

Since Whistler introduced his cele-

apartments in odd tones has been ex-
tensively developed. A strong effect has
been recently obtained by the use OF

used with taste 1t has given result
which is extremely pleasing. The wood
work and furniture are carried out In
white enamel, the walls having a paper
with design Of violet igurs on a white

A LOCAL QUESTION.

When Gen. Hancock said the tariff
was a local question, some overwise
men were disposed to laugh at him.
As on all other occasions when
tariff bill, has been before Congress, the
action on the Wilson bill in the present
Senate has proved how thoroughly To-
cal the measure is
The representatives OF the several
States have been controlled in their
treatment OF the bill wholly by their To-
cal interests, independently OF politics
or principle. Where a Senator's con-
stituency has been pecuniarily inter
ested In sugar he has insisted on put
ting tax on sugar. When local con-
siderations have demanded tax on
iron. the Senator representing the State
has fought against leaving iron on the
free list. The same with coal and other
commodities. The action OF the Sena tor
has been influenced by local interests
alone The combine OF all these TO-
cal considerations has been successful
in radically changing the character Of
the Tariff bill that went through the
House.
When principle Is ignored; when the
general goou OF tne nation IL disre-
garded; when pledges are broken sim
ply and solely through local influences.
what Is the measure but n local one?
Every tariff law enacted has been a
conspiracy of local interests against a
general principle and against the gen
eral good. The Mckinley act owed its
existence TO combination of represen-
tatives, each anxious to obtain a local
advantage and acting together to rob
the rest of the people.

We have no gre 1t S20-a-line poet In this

for the absence of any monumental

Poets are all right in every place and

fact that they are out Of place In temple

good and true men hadn't sense enough
to agree upon a verdict. After reading
their trochaic quatrains, no person OF
