Gus Schroeder, Duluth policeman
who was let out the first of the month
as result of the mayors policy of re-
trenchment is prospecting for gold
within the city limits, and he has al
ready found color. He is an old miner

Recently he crushed out a small piece

The festivities cnosisted of dance for
the major part, and FMS is what the Sc
lection is intended to portray.
1t opens with a deep tone with long
rests between the notes. This is a call
TO the dead 10 assemble. This gradually
runs into a stead cadence, which in
creases in volume as the dance begins.
1t is perhaps the most weird music ever
written. The dead seem to stir, then to
arise, and afterwards the cadence at
tains Its regularity, the dance begins.
The wierd and uncanny tinge pervades
the entire selection, and unconsciously
the witness seems to be a listener 10 the
strange scene. The music steadily in
creases in volume and speed until it as
sunes the widest abandon. The music
here is extremely difficult, and the least
error in execution breaks the spell. AL
though the music is heavy, there is not
the least intimation whatever Of any
other sound. Thee haracters seem 10
move with the greatest activity, but it
is all noiseless save the sound of the
music. 1t decreases slightly in both vol
ume and time when the crow OF the
morning cock is heard. There seems to
be a scourrying Of vaporous garments
as the dead hurry to their graves, and
the music soon drops to a few minor
tones between long intervals as the
skeletonic jewellers fall asleep.

future undertakings. The volume of

by clearing house exchanges, owing to
the extra holiday this year at some
