amounted to fifteen thousand 1t has
all disappeared with some thousands
| besides. Had its finances and affairs
| since that date been managed with the
careful and judicious forethought which
| controlled during the decade preceding,
it is entirely safe to say that today it
would have twenty thousand dollars,
aside from the Davis fund, into which
serious inroads have been made. 1t is
to be hoped that if in the future any
person animated by a noble and gener-
Gus impulse, should give money for its
support, 1t will be so conditioned that
only the interest can be used. The mu-
steal association can have a future, by
discarding all trumpery, Fictitious and
sensational methods in its appeal for
public favor.
By recognizing the fact that the class
of music from which it's programs are
made, have little present and no per-
manent attraction for that crowd which
is ever on the alert for new sensation
by making note of the fact that the
greater number of it's patrons during its
days of prosperity were from that large
but serious and sober-minded class who
find six dollars great deal of money
to pay for season ticket, it is sub
mitted that in the enlargement of its
membership, other things being equal,
preference should be given to members
of the chorus, that meetings of the
association should be held at least quar-
terly, for the comparison of opinions and
the discussion Of it's interests, in which
all it's members are equally interested.
Probably the musical festivals have
given the city more and wider fame
than any other local institution. Its
annual celebrations, continued for
forty years, have given it, abroad, a
character unique All honor and thanks
to those in the past and present whose
love and labor have made it possible,
and especially to those few whose gen.
erous gifts enabled it to meet it's obli-
cations on its fortieth anniversary.
With few exceptions, the wealthy
classes have never given it the support
and consideration to which it is enti-
tied.
Considering that the elevating and en-
nobling influence which it has exerted
in this community, it stands second to
no church. Through all the fifty years
there has never been given trivial or
unworthy chorus and the words of much
the larger portion have been from that
book to which we all go for instruction
in the duties of life, the words which
give finest expression to it's joys and
sweetest comfort in its sorrows

A WOMAN'S SUFFERINGS.
Some of the AgOnieS They
NeedleSSly Endure.
Nervousness and Female Weak
nesses Ruin Many Lives.
These Poor Sufferers Have Found A
Sure Way To Get Well.

Female weaknesses are more common
today than ever before. Constant work
and worry weaken the nerves and vitality,
and female weakness follows. AS result
there is pain, discharges, suppression,
irregularities, weak back, infammations,
bearing down, bad taste in the mouth,
loss of appetite, faintness, constipation,
nervousness, sleeplessness and irritability.
Mrs. S. Taylor, of ISL West 18th ST., New
York City, says:
"For years have been unable to attend
to my household duties owing to severe
sickness. l was troubled terribly with
female weakness, suppression of the
menses for over six years, nervous exhaus-
ton, sleeplessness and general debility. I
had GOODNESS of limbs and feet, and was in
a helpless condition. 1 feared l should
never get we'll.

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Criticism and Renaissance by One OF
the Veterans OF the Chorus.

To the Editor of the Spy:-In the
financial statement of the Musical Asso-
citation, published in the Spy of Dec. 4
the managers express disappointment
at the result. as they had confidently
expected a liberal patronage" for a
scheme superior to any previously
planned"
Conceding this statement to be true
it is but a repetition of the annual an
nouncement for the past twenty-five
years or more, and only what the pub
lie had right to expect. Interest in
the festival had been forced to an ex-
traordinary extent by the engagement
of Media and Nordica for the seasons
of 95 and 90, and people had learned
that, whatever these might be, surroun-
ded by the glitter, glory and tinsel OF
grand opera, in festival program they
Were but little, if any, better than many
other singers of previous years; that
their great prominence as artists was
more the result of skilful advertising
than superior merit
A reaction was probable and to be ex-
pected, with greatly diminished re-
ceipts, as natural sequence, and
should have been met by curtailing ex-
penses.
Under the circumstances, it is difficult
to imagine what warrant the govern
ment had in mourning a greater ex-
pense that ever before A simple state
ment of the case seems to answer the
question whence its failure?" In an
article published in the Spy of Feb %,
1897, the opinion was expressed, and in
l,a ind NJ f,1o1 Of teaf ee ~
rons was substantiated, that the prices
of the tickets were too high.
That the article contained no hint of
any value to the government is evident
from the fact that there was no attempt
made to reduce expenses, and the prices
of the tickets remained the same as for
the previous years. Other influences
have come in to diminish public inter-
est in its festivals, for a proper under

Cross, the banks president, shot and
killed himself at sunny Slope" his
stock farm near town. The following
is statement Of the condition OF the
bank, made to the comptroller of the

bank had only one-half per cent. of its
deposits more cash on hand than the
law requires.
