IL was d good thing for Mrs. Allies

after The guests had departed her con-

Mr Allestree had gone away early on
Saturday; now - was Tuesday. She
ha managed to be patient over The

There were only two deliveries in the

Mr.. Framwell said there was nothing
from you. It nearly killed me, jos

However" he muttered, "they
couldn't have all miscarried-I-Henri-
eta! I have it. Wait; I'll be back in
20 minutes" and the gentleman fairly
ran out of the room.
He laughed all the way downstairs,
and she heard his ha-ha's between his
shouts for Jimmy to bring back the
trap. In a few minutes they ratified out
Of the grounds, and within the time
he mentioned they ratified back again.
Mr.. Allstree tore breathless up the
stairs, bursting boy-fashion into his
wife's room. He carried a package OF
letters, which he spread out in a circle
on the bed. There were IA of them, and
every one was addressed to Miss Hen
rietta Shower.
For a short space nothing was said,
and then the two aged lovers began
to laugh, and they laughed until they
cried.

his protege. But Mr.. Allison is very
easily pleased, If he is willing to accept
gesticulation for musical effectiveness.
Mr.. Platt has made the same mistake
as Mr.. Clarkson in assuming that the
bassoon was a solo instrument, and he
has made other mistakes besides. 1t
was undoubtedly an error to arrange
ooh, let us be joyful" in five flats minor,
and mark it 'sadagio me~lancolico." But
It was a still greater mistake for the
fagottist to neglect his practice. Clark
son is at least a conscientious artist and
bangs the Allison drum for all he is
worth, when he is not operating upon
the Harrison tlnkling cymbals. But
Platt does not do Justice either to the
composition or to his own talents as a
fagottist. No man can blow the bassoon
properly who insists upon playing a solo
upon it with his tongue in his cheek and
his hands in the pockets of his neigh
bors.
We have already intimated that the
obligatos OF the Mckinley symphony,
the principal number Of the programme,
were not we'll done. Where all do so i'll,
it would be invidious to discriminate,
but we are bound to say that Foraker's
performance of the passage for fog horn
in G flat "allegro maestroso" is by far
the most intolerable. It is no wonder
that as o as he begins the conductor
stimulates the tubas and trombones to
their utmost and, in the language of the
poet, 1.-THE snarling silver trumpets be-
gin TO chide." Tho wonder is that a
performer who plays so persistently out
of tune should be admitted into the
band at all. Everybody remembers how
this player broke up the Sherman cornet
band by his o~utrageously false perform
ance of "Come rest in this bosom, my
own stricken deer" He may be trusted
to dispense any organization with which
he is connected, and the most pressing
duty of the conductor, if he would ex-
tract harmony from his performers, is
to dismiss his first fog horn. When
Foraker plays it, 1t is not less offensive
than the Samonian instrument upon
which Mr.. Mckinley renders his own
solos.-N. X. Times.

Proposed Charter Amendments Are No
Satisfactory-City Briefs

the proposed amendments to the city

charge of the work, have been set

election would cover the savings of at
least two years.

NEWS NOTES FROM PASADENA
A WheeIman's Dream Which
May Materialize
A BICYCLE PATH OF WOOD
Is TO Connect tbe Crown With the
Metropolis
The Question of Park Agitating the
People-Doings in the Social World.
News Brevities

PASADENA, Nov. 19-It is given out
on good authority that Pasadena and
Los Angeles are soon to be connected by
a wooden bicycle path, beginning at the
foot of Orange Grove avenue, on the
corner of Columbia street. and ending
in the heart of the Angel City, The
idea was originated by Horace Dobbins
of this city, who is himself a wheelman.
A preliminary survey has been completed
and an entire right of way has nearly
been secured. The track will not follow
the road, but will extend through pri-
vate property. 1t will be seven feet wide
and consist of two-inch strips laid on
edge, side by side, so that warping will
be thing unknown. These will be
nailed from the side, and therefore no
punctures will be found. 1t is expected
to have it in practical operation in April
or May of next year.
A PUBLIC PARK
The question of a public park has
been set on foot in connection with Che
discussion attendant to the need of a
new city charter. 1t is proposed to Sc
cure a tract OF land adjacent to the
city, such as the lands on the Shorb
trees and well supplied with water. One
tract of 100 acres, valued at S400 an acre,
is under consideration, and it is gener-
ally hoped that it will be purchased be-
fore the land rises In value, as it certain
ly will. Some citizens advocate the bond
ing of the city for the purpose, and the
question will doubtless soon be settled.
