GORMLY'S TRIUMPH.
Is Again Placed at Head of the Band
That Once Bore His Name.

The Mid-Continent band has offered
the directors baton to Charles e. CORN
ly and he has accepted It, When the
band was first organized 1t was known
as the Kansas State band and occupied
rooms on East Seventh street. Charles
Gorn1ly was the director and under his
leadership the band quickly came to
the front, and to show their apprecia-
ton the band changed the name and it
was for a long time known as the CORN
ly Cadet band. The band went to
Kansas City and was in the Priests of
Palace and Karnival Krewe paradeS
last fall. During the stay in Kansas
City some trouble between the director
and the band grew up over the matter
of the contracts and Gormly was de-
posed as director and a Mr.. Taylor was
elected director and the name changed
to Continent. He was in the po-
sition but a short time and he was in
turn deposed and E. c. Strickland, the
solo cornetist of the band, acted tenn
porarily as director Mr.. Gormly was
elected director of the reform school
band, and under his leadership this
band has rapidly improved and is now
equal to any band of that size in the
state.
Some of Gormly's friends quietly
worked up the matter among the Mid
Continent members and at their last
meeting his name was presented for the
position as director and he was unani-
mously elected. In speaking to a Jour
nal reporter Mr.. GOrmly said: ''I am
very glad that this has happened, as I
have always been very friendly towards
the band, and / sha try to make it one
of the best bands in the country. There
is good material in the band and we
have additional clarinet and saxaphone
players coming, and if we could receive
some encouragement from the people of
Topeka it could be made a paying
band. Since the organization the band
has had hard pull for patronage On
account of the competition. The uni
forms have lately been dyed blue and
project is on foot to have white duck
trousers for Festival week. Since the
organization the band has grown from
a membership of Is to As and paid off
about $500 Indebtedness. Arrange
ments are being made to go to Kansas
City for the Priests of Pa1las and Kar-
niva1 krewe and several other out of
town jobs. During the winter the
band will give its annual concert and
several promenade concerts.,,

CUT THIS OUT.
Tt is the Words of ga Hot Time in the
Old Town"

There is one thing which every per-
son who crowds into Hamilton hall next
Tuesday evening for the Karnival
knights mass meeting, will be expected
to know and that will be the tune of
the Karnival knights, which is, "There'n
be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" This popular song will be play
ed by Marshalrs band, sung by the
Modocs and the whole audience will
join in the chorus It will make the
roof of Hamilton hall shake when this
melody bursts forth from several thou
sand masculine threats.
In order that everyone in Topeka may
know the words of the song so that they
can sing it at the mass meeting and al
SO on Carnival night, the words are
here published.
There isn't any sense to them; in fact,
they are quite utterly idiotic, but who
expects sense on Carnival night.

leaped across the street to an enormous

it was evident to the firemen that they

attempting to carry to places OF safety

In spite Of the exertions OF the IRE

Postmaster General Gary's Postal Bank
Scheme Seems Popular.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Postmaster
General Gary is receiving many letters
regarding the postal savings bank prop
osition strongly urged by him in his
annual report. Many people throughout
the country have written him COM
menting on this projected radical ex.
tension of the postal service, and have
submitted some suggestions calculated
IN their opinion to make the scheme
more feasible. AS a whole, the corre-
spondence indicates rather general
commendation. Some we'll known
economists and financiers numbered
among the postmaster generals friends,
and who have heretofore opposed meas
ures of this character, have, in letters
just received, given "a qualified endorse
ment. Postmaster General Gary expects
some legislotion by congress on this
subject, possibly at the next session.
and believes that the extensive discus.
sion which has been given it through
out the country will render material
assistance to this end.

ALGER'S FIRST ANNUAL.

Makes Many Recommendations for Bet
terment Of the Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-In his first
annual report Secretary Alger makes
many recommendations for the better
ment OF the administration of the war
department, based upon the conclusions
Of his subordinate officers. He asks
favorable consideration for the PROPOSE
ton to add two regiments to the artil-
lery branch, pointing to the valuable
Notifications now being erected, which,
he says, should not be manned by
corporal's guard. He says of Alaska
that as many as 100000 people will be
gathered there next year and military
force should be sent to the territory and
large emergency powers should be
granted to the president to repress law
lessness. Secretary Alger recommends
the revival Of the grade Of lieutenant
general, saying that all the great ma
tions give their officers much higher
rank than does the United States.
He indorses the recommendation of
the superintendent of the military
academy. that the number of students
at West Point be increased by allowing
each senator to nominate a cadet. AS
an alternative, he suggests that the
president be authorized to appoint 10
cadets at large each year.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-One Of the most
disastrous fires in London's history
dnce the great fire of 1866 broke out in
large block of buildings lying east
ward of Aldersgate street, and between
that thoroughfare and Red Cross street,
just after p. m. The flames were

every floor of the 6-story buildings in
the old street. Consequently the con.
flagration gained headway with sur.
prising rapidity and for four hours and
half the flames had their own way
and 1t was only after moro than 100
engines had been put to work that the
Chief OF the fire brigade sent out the
signal that the fire was under control.
The latest accounts indicate that
Over Hundred warehouses
have been destroyed, while the loss
will probably exceed $4,000. 900. Ham,
sell street was the scene Of the out
break of the fire, which was due to an
explosion in connection with gas en-
CINE on the premises Of Walter Brown
o Co., mantle manufacturers. Their
factory was crowded with girls when
the fire broke out and it was instantly
the scene Of semi-panic, the fright
ened operatives rushing to the roof Of
the building and thence crossing to
other buildings and 20 effecting their
