WE MURMUR-

We murmur that the fieeting years
Have left but traces small.
OF high ambitions. hopes and fears.
There is no trace at all.
How oft, in dire disbursement
AT the tameness OF our fate.
We quite forget they also serve,
Who only stand and wait
The goal IL seemed we must attain,
The heights that seemed so near,
The hopes that but an effort claim,
The youth that knew no fear,
Are far OF now; the goal ahead
Is only heavens gate.
We still forget they also serve
Who only stand and wait"

The inaugural music committee played
its finale last evening at headquarters

ness was IN such shape that a full report

nittee tomorrow night.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that had it not been for the music COM
nhttee and the concerts it provided there
would have been deficit, inst cad OF a
surplus in the inaugural fund. The re-
CeiptS from the concerts were about S12-
600. 1t was stated that the tickets OF
admission were sold at too low a figure,
but as the idea was to let as many OF the
citizens as possible enjoy the various
entertainments OF the week, there was no
regret eX pressed at the tremendous crowds
that attended. 1t is likely, however,
that the tickets next time Will be at
higher rate. 1t was explained also at
the meeting that the great crush mt the
Pension office was caused by the tickets
not being on sale at a sufficient number OF
places, that they were bought late in The
afternoon and at the ticket offices at the

about forty chairs, and il is puzzling the
members to know how any people, no
matter how clever. could have success

persons and gotten them off, possibly as
souvenirs of the chorus.
The grand chorus was put on and re-
hearsed at a very small item of cost
Mr.. Percy Foster, the director of the chorus
OF 500, submitted a statement in which
he showed that it was Ill done at less
than 81 apiece for the 800 The splendid
chorus was composed of singers each one
OF whom was a fairly good sOlOist and
very many Of them artists Of great merit
The appropriation for the chorus was $500
and the expenses were less than that
amount.
The committee was engaged largely in
matters Of finance. Its work was done
with about $1,000. and it kept close to It's
means and as stated, gave entertain
mants. the receipts of which were over
$4,000.
At the conclusion of the meeting Mr..
Percy Foster proposed a vote of thanks
on behalf of the committee, 60 Chairman
CLANCY, for his courtesy and capacity,
which contributed so much to the success
of all its undertakings. The motion was
passed, Judge CLANCY making a fitting
response of thanks to the members of the

Commissioner.

ExGov. John T. Rich, of Michigan, who

place in the State of Michigan, and made
an admirable officer.
During Gov. Rich's stay in the city he is
doing what he can to keep down he lumber
tariff in the new Dingley hill. He is a
member OF the committee OF Michigan
lumbermen that is here working against a
high lumber tariff. They form what is
known IN the northwest as ''the Canadian
contingent because many of them are
heavy owners of Canadian stuEpage, and
desire to get logs from the Dominion free
OF duty, or, if that is impossible, as low
a Guty as possible, in order to preserve
the milling and numbering interests OF the
State.
ANY ambition of Gov. Rich to fill

barrassed by the fact that Senator Bur
rows, when he ran for election to the
Senate, had to face the opposition against
the whole State machine, of which Mr.
Rich, then governor, was the head. The
State machine was for ex-senator Pat
ton, and was defeated by the Burrows
organization.
