the Capitol Grounds-First Meeting
of the Com mission.

COLUMBUS, O., May 24.-The commits
sion created under the Hazlett act to
construct an additional state building
to relieve the present crowded condi-
tion of the capitol, held its first meet
ing in the office of Gov. Bushnell Mon
day. Gov. Bushnell and Attorney Gen
eral Monnett are members ex-otficio.
The other three members are Maj. A.
d. Rodgers, of this city; Chas. A. Bau-
er, of Springfield, and Lewis p. Schaus,
of Newark.
The commission permanently organ
ICED by electing Gov. Bushnell chair
man. and Maj. Rodgers vice chairman.
Mr.. Opha Moore, appointment clerk
in the governors Office, was elected
clerk of the board, an office which is
provided for by the act Mr.. Moore
was instructed to insert an advertise
ment in each of the three daily English
papers of the city asking proposals OF
sites for the building, to be opened by
the board Saturday, June4. The clerk
was further instructed to make the
statement in the advertisement that
the area required would be approxi
mately lS7 by 125 feet Monday after
noon the commission drove over the
city and looked at number of sites
which have been proposed. There is {
sentiment now in favor of building
the new structure upon the presen
capitol grounds.
The site is just east of the presen
state capitol, removing the esplanad'
for this purpose. 1t is claimed that by
preserving in the addition the style o
architecture of the old building th
present general aspect could be main
tanned. The new building according
to this project, would not be bull
against the present capitol, but 2
feet from it, so that none of the win
dows would be cut off from light

A swarthy man with jet black mus
tache that curled fiercely stood the 9TH
er afternoon In the crowd that watched
the war bulletins, says the New York
World. He wore a soft hat with wide
brim aud big black tie under the col
lar of blue shirt. There was cynical
expression on his face, and a Inenacing
look in his dark eyes. From top to toe
he looked like an "unspeakable Span
lard" The men near him did not ap-
prove CT his appearance. They drew
away and began looking at him with
defiance and dislike apparent in every
feature. A newsboy spat disdainfully
at the swarthy mans feet. A laborer
iostled him. Another man trod on his
feet. All Of these insults passed unno-
ticed. The swarthy man was busy read
ing the bulletins. A driver on truck
snapped his whip at him. Then the
swarthy man dropped his eyes and be-
came conscious of the unfavorabe at
tention he was attracting. Thrusting
his hands in his pockets, be looked
scornfully around. and. with biting sar-
casr. said:
"Phat the divtl are yez lookin' at?"
"Hurrah!" cried the ncwsboy, "he's
all right"
Thereupon the others laughed, and
the swarthy man laughed with them.
GIadstone's Body.
LONDON. May "a The body OF Glad
stone is in the library at Hawarden
castle, upon a couch covered with
white silk. 1t is attired in evening
dress. with the crimson silk robes of a
d. c. L. and an Oxford college cap.
The body lies on its side and the fin
gers are loosely interlcclsed across the
breast. The features are little
changed, except that the deep lines
have disappeared, giving the face a
much younger appearance.

HER POINT OF VIEW.

The Harrisburg ar-Independent
publishes a seditious editorial stating
that women are entirely to blame when
their husbands neglect them since it
is always recognized by girls that they
are expected to entertain their fathers
and brothers and make it pleasant for
these relatives as soon as they enter
the house. The married woman for
gets that and she bemoans her fate
when her husband is rather inatten-
tive. our contemporary neglects to
specify that to entertain and amuse
some husbands it would be necessary
to introduce into the house a continu-
ous performance comprising base ball
game. bucket shop, variety shows in
unassorted lots and brewery or two.
Miss Edith Brewer, in the Wilkes
Barre Times. makes a brisk compar-
ison between New York and Boston
rather in favor of the latter as a sum
mer resort. One of her comparisons
is regarding street cars. She fell in
the middle of the street from Bos-
ton car, because the New York cars
had taught her TO consider that a car
has stopped when II hasn't The Bos-
ton cars felt" just as in New York
when they have stopped all they mean
to--and she suffered the consequences
when she endeavored TO alight with
the alacrity necessary iu New York
She admires Boston Common for there
a man may lie on the grass and be
comfortable without the reproaches of
policeman TO disturb his rest as is
done In New York. Altogether she
considers the latter city hard hearted
with regard 10 the individual. The
contrast she draws between the appear

MUSICAL GOSSIP.

Mr.. George W. Colby, manager of
the famous Seidle orchestra, for the
last five years, proposes to give tour
of peace festival concerts in the larger
cities from Bangor, Me, to Mime
apolis. This orchestra is the leading
one of New York 1t will consist of
forty-five artists. He will also bring
some of the best solo talent in the
country. Mr.. Colby was engaged with
Professor Whiting in the great Bos-
ton jubilee concerts, as manager and
director under Mr.. Gilmore. He has
placed the management of the Scran-
ton concert in Professor Writings
hands, who will at once organize a
chorus of $50 voices. The first re-
hearsal will be announced in the pa
pers next week. This is splendid
opportunity for our singers, who have
good voices, as il will give them an
opportunity to hear one of the best
orchestras in the country and also
some of the best solo talent. Mr. Whit
ing WILL as far as possible, send spe-
cial invitations to those who are known
as singers. II any who do not re-
ceive such notice and would like to
join the chorus will please call upon
Mr.. Whiting at Mr.. Guernsey's music
store.

As will be seen by the programme
which appears in another column. the
list Of selections to be rendered by
Hauer's band at Laurel Hill park to-
morrow afternoon, will embrace more
of the popular style of music than
has been given heretofore. The pro-
gramme is longer than usual, and will
consist of band music exclusively. and
the concert will begin at 3 o'clock,
Instead of $50. The Laurel Hin con-
certs have proved among the most
pleasing of the enterprises of Bauer's
band and are largely attended sun
day afternoons by the music lovers
generally.

G. H.-Which European city would
you recommend as being the best In
which to obtain musical education?
Answer-That depends entirely upon
what branch of musical study you in
tend to make a speciality of. The two
leading musical centres in Europe are
unquestionably Berlin, Germany. and
Paris, France. I would never recon-
mend anY one to select Berlin as the
best place to study voice-culture and
singing. Paris and London are both
superior to Berlin in this respect. The
same is true with regard to organ
study. On the other hand. Berlin is
superior to either Paris or London for
the study of the piano. As regards
violin study. the largest number of stu
dents are found in Berlin, drawn
thither by the great Joachim and his
famous pupils. AS to the best place to
study the clarionet, oboe, GassoOn or
horn, opinions differ; some prefer
Paris, others Berlin. If you ask me
what CITY offers the best advantages
for hearing music, where one can
breathe ii in at every pore, where the
atmosphere is, as it were, charged with
music, l answer Berlin.

musical habits in regard thereto"
"Liszt's great point on pedal playing,
and one on which he sLrenuously in
sisted,'' says a writer in the Etude,
"was never to strike the chord and
the pedal simultaneously. strike the
chord first and the pedal after he
said. There are times when the pedal
must be raised incessantly." The meth
cd of pedal markings which
Mr.. Sherwood advocates, name
ly, sign which indicates to
the fraction of a beat where the
pedal is to be raised and pressed
down. can not, 1t seems to me, be i'm
proved upon. One can, after proper
instruction. be made Independent of
all pedal markings, but to become so
one must thoroughly understand
chord-formation and chord-relation, tn
be obtained only from the study of
harmony.

IN STANLEY'S FAVOR
Horton Convention Full of
His Friends.
Is FAVORABLY MENTIONED
Curtis Nominated For Con-
greSS on 710th Ballot,

Charles Curtis was nominated for con-
gress from the First district yesterday
at Horton on the 10th ballot. On this
ballot Cy Leland swung the counties Of
Nemaha, Brown and Doniphan, which
had supported Bailey, over to Curtis.
Leland has been bitterly opposed to Cur
tbs, and naturally the friends Of Stanley
in Wichita Will be interested to know
what the result Of the Horton convention
will signify with reference to The cam
paign OF w E Stanley for governor.
By some of the local politicians it was
suggested that the move Of the Leland
men toward Curtis viii not very mater
tally affect the campaign Of any one ex-
cept Hessin; that it viii mean simply
that the Shawnee delegates to the state
convention viii go over to SeatOn, whom
Leland is supporting for governor, when
1t comes to a show down. Leland's O.
position to Curtis has been a matter Of
state comment for several months and
this movement for Curtis is something
of a surprise. The general opinion Of
the result at Horton is that Stanleys
chances are enhanced. Il is hardly prob
able that the Leland men went over to
Curtis without some sort of an under
standing that the favor was TO be re-
turned. This return viii probably lose
number, of delegates to Senator Hessin
whatever may have been the terms Of
such a move. It IS probable that an at
tempt will be made to throw some Of
Hessin's support to LeIand's candidate
for governor. Leland has said he is for
Seaton. If the Hessin forces should
break or if the Seaton or Hood forces
should break it only simplifies the situa-
ton by reducing the number Of candi-
dates The Eagle IS advised from Hor-
ton that Stanley received much favora-
BILE mention at Horton by delegates in
the general lobby talk and that many
Of them signiied a strong preference for
Stanley for second choice for governor.
