4 M U.NiCIPAL BAND,

Philadelphia is called slow, but it is progressive in some things. For in stance, it is progressive in the matter of public buildings, and has been for the last twenty years. It is also pro- gressive in the matter of municipal music. We do not mean the kind of music that is common at meetings Of boards of public works, courts of com mon council, etc, etc, and which is sometimes called "chin music" We mean real musical music, such as the consolidated bands played on the New Haven Green when Bryan was speak
 ing. Philadelphia has what is called a municipal band. Municipal bands are common in foreign cities, but the one organized in Philadelphia last spring is believed to be the first municipally supported band in this country A further interesting fact about it is that Philadelphia finds there is econ omy as we'll as pleasure in the invest ment. The band is not J1ere collec- tion of cheap men, but is an organiza- tion of trained musicians with good
 bandmaster at its head. The experi- ment was started with an appropria- tion of $11, 900, and this is said to be less than the amount hitherto expended an- nually for band concerts and for music at the functions in which the muinci- pality takes part officially. During the past season the band gave sixty. six outdoor concerts, playing not only in the parks and fashionable quarters, but in the tenement districts also, and
 always giving high class music. So we'll has the band accomplished its purpose, so general has been the sat- isfaction expressed at it's work, that it will be made permanent, and next year it will have 8 strength of sixty pieces.
 New Haven has municipal band stand, or will have it when it is done. Some have thought that 1t was sort of platform such as they have on war ships, but it is band stand. It is pos sible that a municipal band to go with 1t or on it wouldn't be a bad invest

tered between Palmer and Lowering or are undecided or non-committal. The men canvassed were all in shops, fac tories or mills, and belong to the intel ligent workingmen of the State.
 Evidence that the farmers of the West are not so very different from the farmers of the East is furnished by a unique poll conducted by a Chicago firm of farm-loan nogotiators. It was unique in the fact that it was limited to farmers who are mortgageors, the class of voters to whom Bryan has looked most confidently for support, and for whose alleged benefit he would split the mortgage paying dollar. The result is what might have been eX- pected except by those who have been too ready to believe that the farmers, as class, are willing to be dishonest by statute. On the books of the Chicago firm were the names of 4,000 farmers in Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri who are borrowers of money secured by mortgages Each was asked to indicate on postal card how he intends to vote this fall and, to make the poll secret one, each was instructed not to place his name on the card. Of the 1,267 who have answer ed thus far 979 will vote for Mckinley, 1S6 for Bryan, 4S for Palmer, and, SS for the prohibition nominee, 21 being unde- cided Eighty out of each hundred of these mortgage" afflicted" farmers de- clare for sound money.
 These things indicate what is going to happen in November In western States that have been called doubtful. Sound, sensible and patriotic people the country over are standing together this year.

The convention of the National Household Economies association, to be held in Milwaukee in October, will de- vote much attention to an effort to in duce women's clubs to give a fraction of their time to the subject of house. hold economies. It is Q far-reaching subject, Miss Mary Lamson Clark of Milwaukee, one of the vice presidents of the association, says, and it Is not confined to the kitchen and the dining room, as some of the uninitiated may think, Household science, she explains, deals not only with the physical we'll being of the family, but also with the mental and moral health. The kitchen is only one room in the house. House. hold science treats of the location of the house, of the nature of the soil on which the house is built and what it demands in the way of drainage, of the arrangement of the rooms of the house. of the necessity for sanitary plumbing, of the best methods of heating, lighting and ventilating the house. Household science treats, too, of the decoration and furnishing of the house, of the household industries, of the cleaning of the house. It grapples with the ser want question. It studies the proper
 
 expenditure of the family income. It discusses the relative merits of coal, gas, oil and electricity for cooking pur- poses. In short, the whole round of correct living from cradle to grave from the feminine side of the question is its province.

FASHION NOTES.
An Unexpected Succession.

The abundance of elaborately trimmed summer dresses that August brought seemed so much like a final outburst of highly wrought effects that it prepared the analytical observers of fashions for succeeding period of high favor for simple gowns. Now 1t is found that the simple costumes are 'here, to be sure, but no general law for severity is in force, and the women that like fanciful wear are as much in their glory as they were in midsummer.
 They trim their dresses so elaborately

SOME STRAWS.

It has been frequently and vocifer- ously asserted that the farmers and mechanics of the West are of @ differ ent make from the farmers and me- chanics of the East and that in this fight for national honor and honesty they are on the wrong side. It begins to look as if those who have made this assertion have been wrong and that ''the masses in the West are animated by the same patriotism that animates ''the masses' in the East. Two very significant straws in support of this idea have lately appeared.
 The Chicago Times-R Herald has made a canvass of workingmen in nineteen of the principal towns of Illinois out side of Chicago. The towns in which this canvass was made are: Aurora, Charleston, Clinton, Decatur, Elgin, Freeport, Galena, Galesburg, Joliet; Lincoln. Moline, Ottawa, Paris, Ponti- ac, Rockford, Rock Island, Springfield, Sterling, Sycamore. In these towns 13,1s2 employees have been asked their preferences. Of these 10,917 declare that they will vote for Mckinley. 1881 are for Bryan, and SS4 are either scat

 The flowers of the pumpkin were cooked and eaten by some of the tribes or the American Indians, especially by the Aztecs, by whom they were highly esteemed
 The caulifiower, which has been known from remote antiquity, differs in remarkable manner from all the other varieties of the cabbage tribe, whose leaves and stalks alone are used for culinary purposes. Instead of the latter being used, the flower buds and Heshy flower stalks, which form them- selves into firm cluster or head vary Ing in size from four to eight or more inches in diameter, here become the ed- ible portion and one of the greatest of vegetable delicacies.
 The flower buds of Capparis spinosa, plant which grows on walls, etc, in the south of Europe, are pickled in vim egar in Italy, and form what are com monly known as capers. These are chiefly imported from Sicily, though the plant is largely cultivated in some parts of France

They are cleaned and then dried in the sun. uniform brown color is imparted by smoking them over a wood fire. The flower buds of Calyptranthes aromati- GUS, another plant of the same order, may be advantageously substituted

The New York Journal is bowling for Bryan with much vigor It asks: If Mckinley should be elected whose would the triumph be? Would the in- dustriouS, decent citlzens of the coun- try, who work honestly in their various ways with hand or brain for a liveli- hood, and want only what belongs to them, feel that a victory had been won over greed, dishonesty and the preda- tory interests that seek to manipulate politics and control the government for their private advantage?
 The answer to this is, Yes!

Did Not Disturb MT. Blaine.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER,
 The disturbance made by Yale stu dents at the meeting addressed by MT. Bryan was certainly disreputable and unworthy of gentlemen, but his Hart ford friends in their endeavor to ex- cuse or paliate the outrage have cer- tainly made a mistake is assuring him that the same disorder occurred when MT. Blaine made an open air address in New Haven. I was present on that occasion when he spoke, as will be remembered, from the steps on the southside of the old state house, and can testify that not the slightest dis order occurred. I was not in sympa- thy with his political. views, but remem- Der that he spoke with dignity and force and was listened to with atten- tion and respect. This correction is due to the fair fame of New Haven, and should be noticed by the Hartford papers. l..
