Band Entertainment.

The City Band entertainment at
the Central Opera House on Thurs
day evening was quite a success.
As usual, the rendition of fine selec-
lions was excellent and commenda-
BILE to the members, as we'll as their
experienced instructor and leader,
Prof. Luscomb. Miss Rose Gun
ningham, with the melody of her
whistliug, as we'll as with her fine
vocal proficiency added much to the
entertainment. Of course, that fine
specimen of ply stature, the
man who carries that huge stick with
the golden ball, Mr.. Crom Curtis,
was there. That completed the COM
binstion for good.

AMERICANS IN EUROPE

From the Boston Herald
 The statement has been made that 10000 tourists have visited Europe this year, and that, as each of them has spent on the average $2,5OO. quite $50, ,Oeo0e0, in what through exchange would be equivalent to American gold, has been taken from Amer ica to Europe. We have no means of &C., curately knowing the number of Ameri- cans who nave made a European tour dur- ing lthe recent summer months; but one is justified in viewing with extreme suspicion such round numbers as 10000. For a few weeks in the late spring and early summer there was great tide of travel setting across the Atlantic from the United States to Europe, but it was not of long duration, and, unless second and third class passen gers are included in the list, we should deubt whether it approached the magnitude of tine figures given above. The exaggera- tion in this calculation is strikdngiy shown in the case of individual expenditure. There arc those who travea in Europe without

ANCIENT MONUMENT FALLS
The Great Historic Hypostyle Hall
 Wreck

Cairo, October 10.-News has just reached here of the recent fall of nine columns of the great Hypostyle hall of the Temple El- ISarnak, built by Zetee I, dynasty XIX. one of the most magnificent and celebrated relics of architecture of ancient Egypt.
 The great hall of El-Karnak, which is the most notable of monuments of Thebes of its class, is ITO feet long and 392 feet wide. The stone roof, now partially in ruins, was originally supported by 134 col- umns, the loftiest of which were nearly 70 feet high and about 12 feet in diameter It was built by Zetee I. and sculptured part ly in his reign. Work upon it was con tinued by his son and successor, Rameses II.
 The hall commemorates, not in its gran deur alone, but by its sculptures, the mag nffcence and power of these two Pharoahs The sculptures of the interior wall repre- sent these moaarchies making offerings to the gods.

HE WENT FOR THE GovERsoR
Dr. Broughton Made Most Sensational
 Attack

Atlanta, October s.-Dr. L. G. Broughton made a savage attack in his sermon to- night upon Governor .Candler and Atlanta society in general for serving wine at receptions.
 He said that whenever there was a society function in Atlanta there was always a convenient bar in the hallway, where a little lady would dispense punch, and that the same thing occurred at the execu tive mansion when receptions were given there. with the same hallway punch ar engagement and that the voters should see to it hereafter that Georgia should have more such governors.
 His listeners were at a loss to understand his reference to the little lady who served the punch but the impression conveyed was that she was bankrupt in religious fervor and piety
 He boldly asserted that there had not been a public german in this city since his pas- torate here that society ladies did not drink, and that on one occasion several got beastly drunk and that they had to be spirited home in close carriages.
 The sermon produced profound sensation upon all who heard it. He characterized waltzing as lustful, and said that all its votaries, with rare exceptions, were ac tuated by that impulse only.
 The tabernacle where the sermon was de livered was crowded to the doors, as the preacher had previously announced that he would preach upon "The Fast Young Woman,'' and the people that flocked to hear him expected a lively time, and were not disappointed. He advised parents to watch their daughters who entertained company later than 1O:30 o'clock. and said: "No young man had any business at white mans house after that hour"
 For directness of expression in calling a spade a spade, the sermon delivered tonight has had no equal in this city, where in the last few years preachers have been given to pretty broad references.

The Executive Committees Action.

The state democratic executive commit vention at Montgomery on the 18th of April; to hold county primaries on the l4th of of April, and provided that all the coun- ties should nominate members of the legis- lature on the same date, excepting, of course, counties which have already acted. It was left to the county executive com mittees to decide for themselves as between primaries, beat meetings and mass meet ings.
 The fair and just feature of the commit tees action is that all counties shall act on the same day in selecting all state off, cers, including members of the legislature. The committee did not attempt to dictate to the counties as to whether they should hold primaries or mass meetings. It is presumed that most of the county executive committees will decide upon primaries as the fairest method of granting to all demo- crats full power in selecting their repre- sentatives.
 The committee at it's meeting yesterday acted wisely and its decision will be ac- cepted by democrats as fair and just to all candidates and for the best interest of the party.

much regard to expense, who have suites of apartments at the hotels at which they stop, and who purchase lavishly in all of the great cities: travellers of a class who come home with from twenty to thirty trunks, these largely flied with their Ea- ropean purchases. But this class is ez- ceedingly small fraction of the trans Atlantic travel. representing probably not more than 1 or ? per cent The great ma joIdty Of our eountrymen and country
 women who visit Europe for a summer tour do So on an exceedingly modest basis of outgo. Instead of spending $2,5O0. they probably do not spend much over $500 on the trip. It is commonly estimated that an allowance of S10 a day will cover all req sonable outgoes Tn sraveiing, this on the bas.s of taking fiTst-class railway compart- merats and living at first-class hotels. 1his, however. is, on the average, a more liberal outgo than the majority of American tour ists indulge in, and yet this, on the custom ary European trip. would not snvolve a gross outgo greater than S10O0 per tourist. Probably If s1.o00 was taken as the average rope, it would come much nearer the mark than the estimate we first referred to, and
 if second-class or steerage passengers were included in the army of travellers under consideration, the average of $l 900 of ex- pense would be an exaggerated one.

Revolutionists on TrIat in Paris.

The preliminary trial of Deroulede and twenty-one associates before the French senate is steadily progressing. It is to some extent a secret investigation. but some disclosures have been made by Procureur-General Bernard that show the nature of the conspiracy. The conspirators agree in but one thing, namely, the over tl9-ow of the third republic They are made up of Jew baiters, Bonapartists, Or leanists, Nationalists, Patriots and every sort of revolutionist that a seething coun- try contains. M. Deroulede wishes to set up republic based on direct voting. In other words, he does not want president elected by the legislature. The royalists led by NJ. Buffet are, of course, working for the pretending Duke of Orleans.
 The Due dOrleans is prudent pre- lender and his prudence is equalled by his

Complete Blockade of Luz0n.

Admiral Dewey believes, as does MT. Bryan, that the instruction in Luzon should be suppressed, and he believes that one of the most effectual steps that can be taken consists in sending enough ships there to blockade the entire coast of the island. The administration has accepted his advice, and enough vessels are to be sent there to blockade every port, every river mouth, and every likely landing place dn the island On account of the proximity of the mainland, especially of Hong Kong, small sailing vessels have been engaged in carrying supplies to the insurgents. This Is to be stopped.
 For this purpose the Asatic squadron is to be largely reinforced. The Brooklyn is to go, and she will doubtless take the place of the Olympia as the flagship. But more important still is the dispatch of light draft and fast ships-ships of the Nashville class and even lighter The island is to be surrounded by a cordon of smaller ships, until it becomes impossible to land arms or supplies for the insurgents. It is becom- ing increasingly difficult now, and when the ships already ordered to Manila ar rive, it will be impossible to land anything.
 This step is taken with a view to pre- vent tine reorganization of an army if General Otis succeeds in breaking up Agui- nados present force. Admiral Dewey un- . derstands the situation thoroughly, and his clear-headed advice is very valuable to the administration at the present time. The president is so mudh alarmed over the polit- dcal side of the situation, that he is willing to accept advice, even if 1t does not come - from the esteemed Otfs There is no one who needs help more than Otis, and perhaps it will be the fleet after all that recon quers the island. The fleet can starve tine insurgents into submission, even if Otis cannot Whip them to the point of disorgani- zation. Admiral Dewey is needed in Wash tngton. His knowledge of the situation and hfs good sense can be better utilized there than they could be in Manila

economy. He has barrel. and the agi- tators of the royalist brand are each and all urging him to open the bung. but he. stay ing on safe neutral ground in Belgium. re- fuses to do this. The funds needed in the revolutionary movements come not, it ap- pears. from the barrel in Belgium. but from royalist ladies in France. One lady con- tributed SO.Oe0 francs towards the cost Of the Deroulede movement in February, and promised 10000 francs more. Nearly all the revolutionary funds come from ladies.
 The entire outfit of revolutionists from NJ Guerin to M. Buffet have joined hands in efforts to start revolution through street mobs and the army The officers of the army are largely anti-republiean, but the rank and file is intensely republican, Herein lies trouble. Another trouble is found in asphalted streets. No barricades can be thrown up in such streets, and ma chine guns are feared where barricades cannot be thrown up. The riots of October and December last have been traced to the dSSbCldleu COHSpEdtOfS. anu SO lllc Deroulede effort last February to direct the army against the palace of the president To the same source should be ascribed the ridiculous self-imprsonment of NJ Guerin in Fort Chatcol." None of these efforts found any considerable popular support, and they were easily suppressed. The twenty-two conspirators who are to be tried by the senate were engaged in them. and it is believed a full history of their acts and of the acts of thei, associates will be unearthed and spread before France. The Due d'Orleans will be the chief sufferer out side of France, for none of his acts show courage or proper division of responsi- bility. His prudence and economy will, however, be fully established. Very con- siderable sums will be shown to have been disbursed, resembling in their gathering at least the funds secured by our own NJ Hanna in another but scarcely more wor- thy cause.
