Ameeting to discuss the founding Of q perman-
ent orchestra in this city was held yesterday
afternoon at 81 Clinton place. Tho attendance
was chiefly feminine, but as the project has been
set on foot and up to this time carried through

The meeting was intended only to increase inter
est in the undertaking and to get tho opinions Of
different persons interested In tho subject.
Richard Watson Glider nominated DR.. William
H. Draper Chairman Of the meeting. and he
spoke Of tho necessity Of having such an
orchestra as tho one proposed in this city. but
urged that its organization be sought without

Some OF tho methods OF selling tickets for
charitable affairs are we'll known and none of
them Is more Objectionable than that by which
a certain number of tickets are sent with the in.
junction that they are numbered and will be
charged for unless returned. Nobody could, of
course. be held responsible for such an un.
solicited responsibility, but there is an un-
pleasant element attached TO the assumption
The most busnesslkeS phase OF. the. matter has
lately been shown In the downtown office build
ings, where women attempt to sell tickets with
tho same assduity which they exhibit In the
case OF books or other articles commonly In
trusted to the slleswOnen that frequent the
downtown offices They are selected with the
same regard for their capabilities, which means
that they are usually possessed Of attractive
ness enough TO insure them respectful hear
ing. One charity which is planning a large
benefit has lately sent number OF these solicit
tors downtown and their efforts are said TO
have been successful enough TO make tho Gladly

J. r. NEWBERRY.
The local war beard for some days
has believed the opinions Of the rank
and file of the regiment on the subject of
being mustered out. Practically they are
united In the opinion that. as the gov
eminent has no further use for them,
they wanted to return to their homes
and resume their various occupations.
They are not the kind of boys that de-
sired to do garrison duty for s13 q
month when there is no need Of such
service. However, We wanted a semi
official expression from each company
on that subject If the boys desired to
remain In the service we were content,
but we believe they did not so desire.
