Big Hurrah Last Night.
Machine Democracy held a fairly
we'll attended meeting at Bohn's hall
last night at which the leaders attempted
to enlighten few of the people Of the
Fifth ward on the issues involved in
the present campaign. They had the
Park Street Band out, which paraded
the streets Of the northwest section Of
the city in the hope OF getting out the
voters. In order to swell the crowd
about fifty members OF the combine,
together with the ward heelers and paid
workers, were present to cheer the
speakers and arouse. some enthusiasm.
These fellows did not fail to respond in
proportion to their salary.
Capt Berkeley and Mr.. Watts defined
their positions, after which w. A. Glaa-
gov made q speech in which he reiter-
ated the same statement he has been
making regarding Mr.. Watts position
on the gas and water bill question. His
speech was especially characteristic
from the statement which he mado in
regard to the charge that the Demo-
cratic machine was preparing to buy the
negro vote. He said and emphasized in
the very strongest language he could
com mand, that the proposition was abb
surd. for "WHO WOULD TRUST A
NEGRO WITH A DOLLAR FORTY
FEET AWAY FROM THE BALLOT
BON?"
This sentiment was literally sp-
plauded, and shows to the colored voter

services by the leaders OF Democracy

THE PERFORMANCES YESTERDAY.

Gilmore's Band Delights the Academy
Audience Yesterday Afternoon.
In criticising the very excellent per-
formance given by Gi)more's Band last
spring at the Academy of Music it WAS
claimed in this column that certain
de ticiencies existed in the construction
of tho band as whole (notably in the
reeds), the feet OF which was to give
undue prominence to the brasses. Tho
correctness Of this criticism is borne out
by the fact that, recognizing the same
defects, tho accomplished leader, Victor
Herbert. has added at least ten addi-
tional instruments to the band since
that time, and CORRESPONDENCE strengt tn
ened its effectiveness as properly
balanced organization. At no time in
it's history land it has glorious one)
has it done better work than that which
marked the superb rendition of the
overture to Rossini's civilian Tell"
az yesterday afternoon's we'll attended
m atinee at the Academy.
Under the intelligent, magnetic oirec-
ton of Victor Herbert the band has at
tanned standard of excellence that is
equalled by few and surpassed by no
other organization in the country. In
all the qualifications OF q frst-class
band, sucn as prompt attack. splen lid
stops, sostenuto ard staccato effects,
delicate shading and refined phrasing,
1t is without a peer. Mr.. Herbert'S
compositions figured largely in tho pro-
Rramme, rather too extensively for those
who were anxious to hear the works of
the old masters. They were, however,
bright and vigorous without exception,
particularly his latest march, salute
to Atlanta" which opened tho concert
and earned spontaneous encore.
One of the finest mum bers of tho pro-
gramme WAS Mr.. Herbert's exquisite
rendition OF Hertel's ''Serenade" on the
violoncello, and barely second in point
OF excellence were the superb French
horn effects in the Instrumentation
which accompanied his solo.
Miss Ida Klein, the vocal soloist of
tho organization, possesses a inc dra-
matte soprano of considerable range and
rich quality. Her selection, "Robers
tot q'jaime," from rbeer's"Roberto
le Disble," suited her voice to perfec-
ton. end caused an enthusiastic encore,
to which she responded with "Way
Down on the Suwanee River" Oh,
Christine Nillson, on you rests tho re-
sponsibility OF inaugurating the
"Suwanee River" encore intliction over
twenty years ago, and it still fingers to
torment US. Both tho cornet solo by
Mr.. Clarke and the piccolo solo OF Sig
nor De Carlo were artistically rendered.
At the evening entertainments the
stirring drama, "a Ride For Life" was
given to meagre audience. The plsy
is an interesting one, tho situation
strong and effective although they oc
caaionally overstep the borders OF pro ba-
biiisy) and the mechanical effects unique
ind startling. The company producing
the plav was fairly effective the strong
est members being Atkins Lawrence. as
the manly and prosecuted hero; Wilbur
Hudson, as the rascally Isallsn, and
Miss Bessie Taylor, in the character OF
the heroine.

Latest Product of the Electric Furnace.

When it was first proved that by heating
mixture of coal or lime or charcoal and
chalk in an electric furnace compound
resulted which upon being thrown into
water evolved acetylene, the gas companies
were naturally elated They looked upon
the new discovery as cheap and easily
procurablo substance for mixing with their
own product, and thus raising its illumi
mating power. According to the Chicago
Record, acetyleno is, however, turning out
to be an oven more extraordinary sub
stance than has been suspected. 1t has so
many strings to its bow that its exploiters
are presumably abandoning tho problem
of enriching gas and are actively engaged
in demonstrating that by means of it the
cheaper manufacture of innumerable sub
stances which arc used in tho arts, but
which up to the present have been tho
products Of pure chemistry, can be
achieved.
In brief, it Is told that, by varying proc
esscs, acetylene may be transmitted into
benzine, aniline, carbolic acid, picric acid,
anteflbrin, naphthaline, alcohol, prussic
acid, oxalio acid and aldehyde, many Of
these being themselves the starting points
of u long series of useful compounds.
When, therefore, it is considered that
from acetylene can be derived whole sys-
TENS of dyes medicines, essences perfumes
poisons, explosives, not to mention cheap
whisky, it will be seen that the latest prod
uct of the electric furnace has n utility
out of all proportion greater than that
which can be derived from its peculiar
light giving powers.
