Last MONTH, Weather.

Although Calumet people have been
congratulatlng themselves on enjoying
an unusually mild spring this year 1t is
nevertheless a fact that, on the average,
last month was colder than April has
been for several years back, with the ex-
ception OF two years ago, which was a re-
markedly long and cold winter and
spring.
However, the month was not at all dis
agreeable and the obseryances OF the
local weather man show nothing very
much out OF the ordinary. For the en-
tire month there were twenty days when
it was perfectly clear, as compared with
sixteen for March. Thenumber OF cloudy
days amounted to seven, and partly
cloudy three, In March there were eleven
cloudy days and four partly clouds
The prevailing wind was east, while in
March il was exactly the opposite.
Snow fell during the month to the
amount OF one and half inches, while in
March nearly foot OF the beautiful
came down. The total precipitation was
2.29 inches. For the same month las,
year it was SO inches. The temperature
was at its maximum point on the 9th
when it reached 73o. This was almos,
again az high az 1t got in March. The
coolest day in April was on the 9Th, whet
the thermometer stood at 30 above. Th,
mean temperature was 81 So as com
pared with % So for March. The near
maximum temperature was 1882 and
the mean minimum was 1929. Sleel
and hail fell on the 18th OF the month

Given Here.
Several Numbers Repeated
che Various Numbers Were Well
Rendered-Chroni

The Fifth Infantry band concert giyer
at the Opera House last evening was, al
it always has been in the past, the most
enjoyable musical event OF it's kind given
in the copper country. The audience
was very enthusiastic one and many
of the numbers on the program had to be
repeated so well pleased were those pre-
sent.
The new whiting" march composed
by the leader, Max Won LEM, and dedi.
Gated to s. B. Whiting, general manager
OF the Calumet and Hecla company, was
the first number on heprogram and was
well received. The overture Raymond"
10y the band followed and Mr.. Frank
Thaeker's tuba solo wasnext given Mr..
Hackers ability as a performer on
The bass was shown TO advantage and he
had TO respond to an encore. Miss
Childs' selection was well rendered, as |
her numbers always are, and the aud
fence requested an encore. The next sell
ection by the band added considerable
variety to the program.
F. W. Cowley in his cornst solo was
perhaps enjoyed as much as any number
on che program and he was required TO
give an encore. The descriptive selection.
Village Life in the Olden Zines" was
given for the first time and the band fully
sustained its reputation IN this parteu.
Tar lire oi musical work. The entire selec-
lion was realistic and was very pleasing
Fnot. Johnson's piano solo was rendered ,
lnthat gentleman's well-known style. i
One OF the most difficult selections from r
technical point of view was the over g
ture from civilian Tell, but il was rem
dered in snch manner that the most cri h
teal could enjoy and appreciate it, Mrs. n
Blossom added TO her already vel -estab- $
lished reputation as a soprano solost by G
her pretty selections. Sousa's "El CAM
tan, from which the popular two.step ia
arranged, was another pleasing number d
by the band. Mr.. Harry King rendered p
a euphonium solo in such manner that "
ne had to respond 10 an encore. The q
last NUMBER on the program was the pop u
ular descriptive selection, 1.-The Hunting N
Scene, which was rendered by genera! a
request NJ
Every number on the program was a a
mOdel OF high grade music and well worth X
hearing and the members of the band as u
well as their leader, NJ. Won LEM, are TO be
on having attained such 9
a wonderful degree OF perfection in the >,
rendition OF such difficult music. :,
lie will be pardonable il one fault is =,

The fact that the program was an excel .,

iess a fact that it was somewhat too
lengthy.

Opening Day May 4th, at Charlotte,
N. Glow Admission and Rail-
road Rates.
This is the day of expositions. They
are to be found upon every hand, but
it has been reserved for the Carolinas
to lnaugurate the first exposition to be
managed entirely by women. This en-
terprise, which was instigated by the
Women's Auxiliary of the Charlotte
Young Mems Christian Association has
its management vested in an executive
committee of sixteen represlatativ
women of Mecklenburg county and is
advised by an Advisory Board and
honorary committee of prominent men
from both States. The opening day is
announced for May 4th and it is expect
ed that all will be in readiness by that
time. The building, which is centrally
located, Is going up rapidly and will be-
an ornament to Charlotte, both during
and after the life of the exposition.

be exhibited in this department.. This
picture is valued at $50, 600, and is in
sured for that amount while on exhibi-
ton. Some of Americas most promi-
nent artists will exhibit, and the collec-
tion will number about 300 pieces.
The scientific department will con-
tain usual exhibits with copient

lections of Colonial War and Historical
Relics will be one of the finest ever
gathered in this section, and will con-
tain relics from all over America and
many foreign countries. A historical
portrait gallery will also be an ippor-
tant and attractive feature. u
The industrial department viii be
one of the most compact and complete
ever gathered in 30 small space. It
will include manufacturing goods and
will also contain some machinery in
operation. The lights will be furn-

and operated by the Charlotte Machine
Company. The electricity displays
will probably be the handsomest ever
seen in the South unless it be that at

The railroads will grant greatly re-
duced rates and the admission has been
placed ut 25cts. as it is the desire of the

cannot ordinarily incur much expense.

yet the buying has prevented declin0
exceeding 81 per share, and for trust
stocks 20 cents per share. The reports
OF railroad earnings for the quarter have
been somewhat encouraging, the aggre-
gate having been on roads within the
United States only 3.2 per cent. smaller
than last year, and the March returns
have been rather more favorable than
those for January or February. The
vote of the House in favor of new
tariff bill has made no impression on
business, since it has been expected
since November that some measure of
the same general character would be-
come law. If the bill stands with it's
provision making new duties applica-
bic April 1st, the chances are that for
eign imports and treasury receipts may
be for time considerably restricted.
The cotton and other textile manu-
facturers are slowly gaining in bust
ness, though print cloths and most sta
pie cottons remain unchanged in prices,
and the restriction of the output seems
ket.
"The iron and steel industry has been
staggered, 80 to speak, by the decision
of the Supreme Court affecting rail-
roads, since it is apprehended that pur-
chases not only of rails, but of cars, To-
comotives and bridge material will be
affected. The demand for rails is still
considerable, and one order Is pending
for 10, 900 tons for Japan, but the reduc-
ton in Messabi ore with the want of
agreement as yet among products in
hard ores, tend to encourage the belief
in lower prices for finished products
and SO to hinder buying"
