THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.
The 0 ganization Perfected Last
Night by the lection of
officers.

The Philharmonic Association
Was called to order last night by
Chairman E. +. Kane. Mr.. Kane
stated that the object of the meet
ing was to organize all the singers
and lovers of music into an associa-
tion, and that the rolls showed
some thirty or forty meubers, and
he noticed others there that would
perhaps join,
The membership list was opened
and several new names were enroll
ed.
An election of officers was called
for and the following list were elect
ed: 7. E. Webber, President; Miss
Maud Lyons, Secretary; Mr.. Collin
Gaines, Treasurer; Prof. Schmolck,
Director, with Mrs. McCann and
Miss Cuggie Hynson as accompa-
nlsts.
The President, I. E. Webber,
then made a Bill Nye speech, maxi
ing himself the butt of his remarks
on singing, after which he request
ed that his voice be given trial.
He was led to the piano and sang
high bass in a falsetto voice. The
house was not brought down" but
the audience was convinced that
the Colonel made no mistake in
Joining the association, it he was
going to study music for one of his
many accomplishments. The house
enjoyed his efforts and gave him a
liberal applause,
The Director then assorted mem
the members in different parts of
the hall, having all the bass singers
together, likewise the tenors, altos
and so on, and then gave them sew
eral trials,
The singing was only tolerable,
yet the philharmonics promise to
surprise the natives some day, with
a grand opera and chorus that
will take off the top of Ghio's Opera
House.
The meeting nights will be on
Monday nights and they promise to
be interesting and instructive.
The membership is composed OF
some of the best singers in the city,
both male and female voices, and
we do not see anything to keep the
organization from succeeding.
We certainly hope that they may
achieve fame as well as success.

forts-gentlee efforts-pleasan efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that You have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

ing about 100000. But this is only be-
ginning to place New York in position 10

forts, mounting % guns of huge dimen-
sions in all Here also it Is intended to
