Brooke and His Famous Chicago Marine
The Closing Attraction ofth Seasonal
Rare Musical Treat. Miss SRmmis TO sing

evening to enjoy the concerts given by
the celebrated Brooke and his famous
Chicago Marine Band. Everybody Is
talking about the return OF this great Or

two weeks since II was here, 1t seems
that the previous appearance was sam
pie enough OF what Brooke can do, to
warrant him thousands of listeners to-
morrow. The programmes as arranged
for the park engagement, are entirely
different from those OF two weeks ago

will be more than pleased at the efforts
of the musicians tomorrow afternoon
and night
Miss Sibyf Sammis, the beautiful and
accomplished mezZo soprano, will. of
course, appear at both concerts and the
mere announcement Of this fact alona
will be sufficient to attract thousands OF
visitors 10 the park. Miss Samni5 will
sing several of the very latest vocal com
positions, among them being those with
which she electrified the large audiences
that have attended the Pittsburgh expo
sition during the past two weeks. The
band will arrive here at 1920 tomorrow
morning. on special train over the Bal
timore & Ohio, and will leave on spec
lal for Boston, at midnight, over the
same line. In Boston the band has a
three weeks engagement.

UNTIL THE NEXT TERM OF
CoURT-oTHER COURT NEWS.

The rush of court work Is over and
next week will see an adjournment in
both criminal and circuit courts, and yet,
most likely the criminal court will lag
on to the last. And then the court, the
lawyers and clerks may loll at pleasure
and laugh as they never laughed before
at the idea OF the last grand jury being
an illegal one, the illegality of the state
constitution in reference to that point
covering the redistricting Of Ohio county,
II might dawn upon their minds that
everything IS illegal these days. And,
hence, an illegalite is the proper caper,
Those illegalites remind one of the coll

A SMALLER SCREEN.
West Virginia Miners want the size used
in Ohio,


The miners district board met at Ben
wood last night and considered the
screen difficulty. The visit to the Ohio
mines out the Baltimore C Ohio had
shown that the IL inch screen prevailed
there, while In West Virginia. the screens
run all the way from ia to TIC inches.
There is no law in either state regulating
the size OF the screens, but acrdss the

The local miners will try to get the IL
Inch screen used in this state, as n frac-

amounts to great deal TO the digger.
The men prefer being paid for run OF

paying for It screened, hence the move

Handel.

Handel once offended George I. so
seriously that he was afraid to ap-
proach the court, but through the
friendly interposition of Baron Kilman-
seggle, who was high in favor, he was
restored to favor in the following man
ner:
Soon after his arrival in England the
King was persuaded to make a short
excursion on the water. Handel was
informed of this intention, and, upon
the advice of his friend, he composed
some pieces expressly for the occasion,
and secretly conducted their perform
ance in a boat that accompanied the
royal barge. His majesty, upon hear
ing these compositions, which have
since become famous under the title
of the Water Music,'' was SO sur
prised and pleased by their excellence
that he Immediately demanded the
name of their author. The Baron, who
was on hand for that purpose. told the
King that they were the work of a
faithful servant of his majesty, who,
conscious of the cause of the displeaS-
ure which he had given, burst not pre-
sumo to approach the royal presence
until he could be assured that by
every demonstration of gratitude and
duty in the future he might hope to Sc
cure a pardon. This intercession was
accepted, and Handel was Immediately
restored to favor. His compositions
We're honored with the most fiattering
marks of royal appreciation, and the
King Immediately gave him a pension

which had previously been conferred
upon him by Queen Anne.-Harper' s

LANDSBOROUGH CASE.
1t VIII Go to the Jury This After
noon.

The evidence in the Landsborough
case on trial before Judge Gaddis of
Yolo, was concluded yesterday, and the
arguments will begin this morning
AT the forenoon session yesterday
District Attorney Ryan announced that
he had closed the case for the prosecu-
ton, and at once counsel for the defense
moved the court to instruct the jury to
acquit Pending argument on this
point, the jurors We're sent out of the
courtroom.
The motion was made on the ground
that c. E. Fordenwaldt, whose claim for
jury fees it is alleged Landsborough
raised, did not know how many days
he had served as a juror, nor how much
money he was entitled to. 1t was also
contended that the testimony did not
show that Fordenwalt's claim as pre-
pared by Landsborough was a fraudu
lent one.
The motion was denied by the court
and the prosecution permitted to re-
open it's case and put in further evil
dence in the shape of court records.
The defense called a large number of
prominent and reputable citizens, in
Guiding State officials, to prove the de-
fendant's good character, as was done
on the former trial on a similar charge.

A Fireproof Rope.

Canadian and Italian asbestos VIII
find a serious competitor in the blue as
bestos recently discovered in the cape
Colony since the South african product
is less than half as heavy and furnishes
fihers considerably finer and longer thah
any other The South African fiber has
been worked into webs, which are put
little inferior to those made of vegetable
fiber, and are absolutely fireproof- Rope,
cord and twine made of this blue asbes-
tos will not only resist fire, but also
most of the known chemicals, corrosive
vapors and atmospheric influences
These qualities will open a new field TOR
the employment of asbestos fabrics IN
chemical labor atories and for the caulk-
ing of chemical apparatus.
In order to test the resistance or the
new material, a blue asbestos rope Oh
about three-fourths of an inch In dlam-
eter was weighted at one end with ~
pounds and exposed to a constant name
from a large gas jet, so that the rope Tor
a considerable length was surrounded
by fire The cord only broke after tWen-
ty-two hours. Still it was a trifie hghtef
than a rope of the same diameter made
of Russian hemp. Compared with
rev hemp rope, the asbestos rope mas
two thirds of it's strength, but as the
ropes get older the proportion is altered
in favor of asbestos ropes, since they
suffer but very little from the influences
of the atmosphere.
Another novel application of this ma
terial is the working of blue asbestos
fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They
are cooler in summer and warmer IN
winter than those made either or AMI
NAL hair or vegetable fiber, and no YER
min can live in this mattress. Expert
ments are now being made of working
this fiber into cloth for iremens ap-
parel Of course, the long fiber OF blue
asbestos can also be employed for all
the uses to which white asbestos mas
been put heretofore. While trif1e more
expensive, its superior qualities make It
we'll worth the difference.-Philadel

The Hawaiian question is assuming a
phase that looks very much as if trouble
with Japan will result. Despite the de-
malls of her representatives in America
and Hawaii that she has nc Interior de-
signs upon the Hawaiian group, it is
evidently the part of prudence to act
as if she had. Certainly members of the
United States Senate think there may
be trouble, as the debate in that body
recently over armor plate developed a
srrong sentiment to equip the navy rap
idly, and there was some expression ia
Vorable to heavy expenditure to enlarge
the navy greatly That is what should
be done. Instead of discharging the ma
tional debt just now, let the country pre-
pare its navy in power ana number. so
as to command respect for the flag and
those whom it should protect abroad
This they do not now have level with
the regard shown to Englishmen and
Frenchmen, Germans and Russians. no
matter in what part of the civilized
world they may happen to be.
