The Last Run.

The last seasons work at Lake Ia
hoe has been completed by the Car
son & Tahoe Lumber Company. 1t
is stated that the work of taking up
the track between Glenbrook and the
Summit will commence before the
week is over. This means that all
operations by the company are at an
end and is but question of few
weeks when fluming will be over
This in turn will close down the box
factory. The closing down of the en-
tire works is bad thing for this
City in many ways. The box factory
alone paid out many thousands of
dollars in wages. Every avenue of
trade will feel the effects of the cess
alton of work by the lumber com.

The Mule Knew.

Several years ago there lived in Gin
cinnati a mule which was employed by
a street railway company in hauling
cars up a steep incline. This animal
was hitched in front of the regular
team. and unhitched as soon as the car
arrived at the top of the hill. 1t made
a certain number of trips in the lore
noon G have forgotten the number, but
will say fifty for the sake of conven-
ience). and a like number in the after
noon, resting for an hour at noon. AS
soon as the mule completed its fiftieth
trip it marched away to it's stable with
out orders from it's driver To show
that it was not influenced by the SOUND
of the factory whistles and bells, the
following remarkable action on the part
of this animal is vouched for by the
Superintendent of the line, who gave
me these data. On a certain occasion,
during a musical festival, this mule
was transferred to the night Shift, ana
the very instant it completed its flfteth
trip it started for the stables. 1t took
the combined efforts Of several men to
make it return to its duty. At night
there We're no bells or whistles to IN
form the creature that quitting time"
had come it had counted the trips,
and, having finished it's full quota of
fifty. it thought that the time for rest
and food had arriyed.-James Weir, Jr.,

A BATTLE MAY SOON OCCUR.
Indications That Schley is to be
Given a Chance for Action.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, (On
board the flagship Brooklyn, off Fort
ress Monroe), May 6-To-day's develop
ments on the flying squadron would
seem to indicate that Commodore
Schley one of the best strategists and
most daring men in the navy, will be
given chance for action within a few
days. The cruiser Minneapolis arrived
here this afternoon at > o'clock, and
the New Orleans will be here early in
the morning. These additions make
squadron of exceptional fighting ability.
The New Orleans, as a fighting ship, is
superior to the Columbia, which was
detached, and the Scorpion, with her
splendid armament, helps to fill out u
squadron that will give a good account
of itself.
The Minneapolis was ordered up to
Newport News for coal Immediately
upon her arrival, and will be cOaled i'm
mediately, and, with the addition of
the tug Fowler, a water-bOat, and the
collier just attached, the flying squad
ron will be complete.
TROOPS MOVING SOUTH
CHICKAMAUGAN NATIONAL PARK
(Ga.), May 1.-THE Twenty fourth Infan-
try left this afternoon at 3 o'clock for
Tampa in command of Colonel Burt,
who, though officially notified of his ap-
pointment as a Brigadier in the volun-
! teer army, was ordered to accompany
his regiment South.
Other regiments now in camp have
been ordered to rid themselves of all
heavy equipments of every sort and
hold themselves in light marching or
der. No orders for movement came to-
/ day, but it is stated on good authority
! that all but two regiments will be sent
South within the next week or ten days.
Some apprehension is felt on account
of the lack of recruits for the regular
army The terms of a number of men
now here expire this month, and very
few are re-enlisting. Fifteen Of the
Sixth Cavalry go out of the regular
service during May, and not one has
yet signified his purpose of re-enlisting,
all expressing preference for the vol
unteer service.

Several Rare from bones Used.

The choir of trombonists, which takes
such an important part in the ceremo-
nies of Easter, is a distinctive Mora
Wan institution. 1t consists at the
present time of Ambrose H. Burch
Robert Rau, Charles H. Neisser Ed
mund l.. Oerter, Augustus Fl. Leibert
William S. Wolfe, Charles George, Ed
ward W. Hunt. Alvin Buss, Commenius
S. Chitty, J. Samuel Wolfe, Charles F
Beckel and Theodore w. Shields, all OF
whom are business men in Bethlehem
The instruments used are three B-fiat
soprano Tor treble) slide trombones
three E-fiat alto, two B-fat tenor and
five F-bass slide trombones. The B.
fiat soprano and F-bass instruments
are most rare. The former is not men
toned in any musical dictionary, and
the F-bass trombone is rarely seen out
side of a few places in Germany. The
soprano instrument is small, being less
than three feet long, with a total pipe
length of five feet. The alto is small
instrument equal in size and scale tC
the B-fat cornet in brass bands. The
bass trombone, when drawn out, gives
a pipe length of sixteen feet, and there
is a still lower position where B, a
half tone lower, can be played, max
ing the instrument about six inches
longer.
The first full set of slide trombones
used in this country was made for the
Bethlehem choir in Germany, in 100
A second set, which was used by the
players as far back as 1916, and was
not new then, is still well preserved
and two of these old instruments, the
soprano and the alto, are still in regu-
lar use A new set was made in Boston
expressly for the choir twenty years
ago.
The trombone is a most ancient in
strument, and is identified with the
sackbut, mentioned frequently in the
Old Testament 1t is one of the sim
plest forms of brass instrument. 1t has
been used for centuries as an instru-
ment like the organ dedicated to the
House of God, being especially fitted
for choral music, its imposing, heavy
tones being of more solemn timbre than
the music of the cornet.
Years ago the trombone choir at
Bethlehem was supplanted on special
occasions by flutes, comets and string
ed instruments, but now only slide
trombones are used.-NeW York Tri-
