INNES, BAND COMING.

A host of good fellows everywhere
will rejoice to learn that Innes, world
famed as the leader of his own concert
band, is amassing riches. Innes has
been popular for years in all the recep-
tiOns of the Mystic Shrine and Scottish
Rite Masons. The public hears very
little of his great work on the from
bone now. He persistently refuses to
play except an occasionalnumberatone
of his own band concerts, or in compli-
ment to some remarkable gathering OF
friends. Innes couldn't go by Whining
ton without stopping. 1t would be a
discourtesy to the thousands who went
all the way to Willow Grove Park
Philadelphia, to hear him last Summer
So. on his way to the Tennessee Cen
tennial, where he plays all Summer, he
leases Union Park for two concerts
next Sunday afternoon and evening.

There is a great moral force in ex-
ample, and for this reason capital pun
ishment was instituted for grave
crimes Many persons labor under
the false impression that hanging is
done merely to punish the criminal, but
that is the small side of the question
It is the deterrent influence upon others
who are inclined to disregard the laws
OF God and man which makes capital
punishment such a beneficial institu.

FOR THE NOMINEES

DEMOCRATS FOh Iib NOMlNiSn'o' D.
Both parties now have their city
tickets in the field, and II is fair to pre-
sumo that from this time out the fight
for supremacy in our municipal affairs
will be prosecuted with ability and
warmth on both sides. The Republi-
cans will endeavor to keep alive in the
Democratic ranks the animosities OF
the primary election held on Saturday,
hut Democrats are too sensible to be
caught by such chaff. They will vote
for the party nominees, regardless OF
personal preference. realizing that the
will Of the party is paramount to the
will Of the individual, and that the car
dlnal principal of majority rule holds
as good at primary as at general elec.
tions. Observance OF this principle has
always been a striking characteristic OF
Democrats, and there is no ground for
the belief that there will be any depart.
ure from it this time
But on the other hand the Republic
cans are not bound by any such tradi-
tion. They are now engaged in an ef-
fort to root out from their midst Ad-
dicks and Addlcksism, and recognizing
that some OF their leaders have made
an ignominious surrender to the dis.
integratng element, they will show
their resentment by voting the Demo
cratic ticket at the city election. There
is a certain proportion of the Republi.
cans who can be led around by the
nose by their political leaders, but the
vast majority of them will refuse tC
sanction the deal made by these mer
with the forces OF ]. Edward Addicks
We predict for the Democratic ticket q
sweeping victory, and urge every
Democrat to stand by his colors in the
coming election.

THE CHURCH AND CIRCUS.
WHY CARDINAL RICHARD AP-
PROVES OF THE TENTED SHOW.

PROVES OF THE TENTED SHOW.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Sun cables that Cardinal Rich
ard, archbishop of Paris, has forbidden
his clergy to attend theatres. He says
"The circus is allowed. 1t is the the
atre of childhood and the priest goes
there as the guide of children" Re-
ferring to this disciplinary edict, the
general press agent of the Adam Fore
paugh-Sells Brothers Consolidated
Shows, remarks: "As the circus and
theatre occupy distinctly different
fields and there is no rivalry between
them, cannot be classed as a preju-
diced or interested witness in saying
that Cardinal Richards action but en-
phasizes the fact that while the circus
has improved the stage has deterior-
ated, and, unfortunately, is largely
given up to plays, the dubious sugges-
tions and situations in which
would be hissed from the cir
Gus ring. The managers of the
greater circuses keenly realize that
their success and popularity largely
depends upon the patronage of the
children and the approval Of theh
parents. Hence, special effort is made
to delight the former by the intrOduc-
tion of fairy spectacles, clownish frOl-
les and funny animal performances
best calculated to harmlessly amusC
them, while anything to possibly offend
the latter is interdicted. AS a result
thousands of people never seen at Z
theatre attend circuses known to b'
first-class and reputable. This sort o
entertainment deserves the arch
bishops endorsement.

What Girls are Doing.

Prom Harpers Bazar.
Country girls, who certainly have
the art If getting up picnics, may
have plenty of them in summer, aud.
for all we know, in winter also. but
we are not positive whether they
have ever had yet what our New
York girls are calling a winter pic
mic" 1t is a great mistake to think
that New York girls are formal, and
above doing anything in the way of
amusement which may be by some
consider, d mot as other people do"
For real fun and innocent pleasure
they are always ready to try any
thing new, and are not afraid OF
public opinion. A winter picnic"
as it reads. conveys nothing to the
mind but wait until you hear what
it is, and then the fun of it all may
be appreciated. There is to be one
given shortly here in town. and
those who have been asked are in
eager anticipation of the result,
All the girls are asked to bring
some sort of food or refreshment,
and the one who IS at the head of it
has arranged the details SO sys-
tematically that there will be no
possibility of two girls bringing the
same thing. There is every pros
pect of a good supper. One girl will
bring sandwiches, another cake, an
other tea and sugar, another fried
oysters, another chicken or lobster
salad, etc, etc, just as they do at a
picnic in the country. The hampers
will be taken into the dining-room
ard unpacked there. No servants
allowed until after the meal is over,
and then they will come in to clear
away the debris Half the fun of
a picnic is the setting Of the table
and the unpackine of the well, filled
baskets.
All superfluous sofas, tables, and
divans. lamps and chairs, will be
taken out of the drawing-room and
dining room, leaving only whas is
necessary. Kitchen tables are to be
used, and ever green trees have been
ordered from the florist to put about
the room to give it a more rustic ap
pearance. The men have not oeen
mentioned vet, but of course plenty
of them have been asked to come,
and, not being as sanguine as the
girls, they are wondering whether it
will be q cce or a bore. One
Young man is very much exercised
as to whether a fellow will be al
lowed to smoke or not. They al
ways do at picnicsl !" Of curse
there will be the the inevitable Vir-
ginia reel, and there is some talk of
an impromptu vaudeville perform
ance, so much the fashion now.
Some of the girls have prepared
choruses to sing, and there will per-
.haps be a. little mandolin or. bapia9-
playing.
