Messrs. SALESMAN and De Ford are very
much pleased at the impression made by
their pupils in the two, performances OF
"Iolanthe" given last week The young
sters did very weh with the score of Gil
bert ana Sullivan's bit of nonsense, and
their efforts were appreciated by the aud
ience which assembled to hear them. The
individual hits in the opsra were very few
as each of the performers seemed to think
il a part of his or her duty to play so that
their comrades should have show for the
praise if any was meted out to them. This
is probably as it should be, and is some
thing seldom seen in any performance.
Even on the professional stage there seems
to be n hankering after individual tri-
umphs that breaks up team work and de-
stroys the beauty of some of the best op-
eras. The performances of the amateurs
last week was much better than those usu-
ally given by amateurs, and the, directors
of the enterprise are congratulating them
selves on their success.

The next concert Of the Damrosch Socie-
ty will be given May II at the Lafayette
Opera House and 1t is expected that there
will be an excellent programme presented
For some time the concerts of the Dam
rosch Society have been events to be looked
for in the musical world of Washington
and the efforts of the society managers
have been amply rewarded by the patron
age it has received. 1t has been the idea
of the directors of the enterprise to give
the best music that could be sung in the
best possible manner, and they have been
very successful in their endeavors This
last concert will bring forth not only the
members of the society twho have been
heard here before with the best OF local
talent, but it will also enlist the services of
Clementine De We're, the well known prima
donna, and Mary Louise Clary. the famous
contralto. The society will be directed by

for the occasion is Archibald Olmstead.

DR.. KILMER'S SWAMP-RO0T
Is Not Recommended For Everything.
But If You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble it VIII be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear
when the kidneys are out of order or dis
eased.
Kidney trouble has become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon for a child to
be born afflicted with weak kidneys If
the child urinates too often, if the urine
scalds the flesh, or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able
to control the passage, and it is yet af-
t1icted with bed-wetting, depend upon it,
the cause of the difficulty is kidney
trouble, and the first step should be to-
ward the treatment of these important
organs. This unpleasant trouble is due
to a diseased condition of the kidneys
and bladder, and not to a habit, as most
people suppose.
So we find that women as well as men
are made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same rem
edy. The mild and the immediate effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t is
sold by druggists, in fifty-cent and one
dollar sizes. You may have a sample
bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling
all about it, including many of the thou
sands of testimonial letters received from
sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, mention The

LABOR MATTERS.
Two Unions Discussed Existing Conditions
Last Night.

The Journeyman Plumbers Union
met last evening, and a vote of thanks
was rendered National Secretary and
Treasurer William ]. Spencer for his
efforts to bring about a settlement of
the Kelley and Delehanty dispute
Joseph Gilchrist, Of the Boston Sheet
Metal Workers Union, asked for per-
mission to have the work of draining
and connecting beer pipesF1n local sa-
looms done by members OF the union he
represented.
The Strater company of Boston had
several jobs in saloons in this city, but
the Journeyman Plumbers consider the
work belongs to members of their un-
lon and refused to grant the permit,
as the Boston local union has done.
The committee on the outing at Jor-
dams pond, Aug. IL, will meet this eve
ming, and arrange list Of sports.
The Bricklayers' and Plasterers' I'm
ion held a special meeting last evening.
report was read from the committee
which had visited Drs. Kelley and Del
ehanty. The men were in favor OF
ceasing work on the block in Trumbull
square, and when the IL bricklayers
and plasterers leave, there will not be a
union man at work on the building.
There Is not enough work to keep the
bricklayers employed longer than a
week, but the block win be tabooed by
unionists and pointed to as "a monu-
ment to scab labor"

good as any on the grandstand, being
next to the finish line. The regatta
officials, looking out for the Boston end
have been anxious to get back the
tickets, as the demand has been great
Walter Simpson, president of the New
England Association, sent three tele-
graph messages to DR.. Higgins yester-
day, telling the latter to return the
tickets. He informed DIR. Higgins that
every seat in the stand outside OF
those held in Worcester, has been sold
and that offers of 50 a ticket are being
received in Boston. DR.. Higgins wired
back that he will have the tickets in
Boston at noon today.
Two of Worcester's delegation will
follow the races in the official boat
They are John H. Meagher, president
and DR.. M. p. Higgins, treasurer, of the
Waehusett Boat Club, who are mem
bers of the N. e. A. r. A., DR.. Hig-
gins being treasurer of the latter also
Mr.. Meagher will act as one of the off
cial timers of the races.
An intense interest was manifested
in Worcester sporting circles yesterday
on the race between Ten Eyck and Ma
guire, that one race causing more in
the regatta. There was all kinds OF
betting talk, but no money could be
found in this city. A few small bets
were registered, but the big rolls that
have been expected didn't show up
There was an occasional rumor of a
stack of Boston money coming to the
city to wager against Ten Eyck, and
among those who never wager money
themselves, betting talk was brisk. But
none of the Wachusett men who lay
money on their favorites could find Ma
guire money anywhere.
Considerable Wachusett money has
been sent to Boston of late, some of il
as far back as two weeks ago, to wager
on Ten Eyck, but not a cent of it has
yet been laid. One pile was of s100
which Worcester man sent to Ma
CURES home in Cambridge, and the fact
Of the money being there was freely
circulated. The owner of the roll
heard yesterday the money is still in
tact, and every attempt to place IL
against Mcguire has failed.
The Wachusett delegation is not in
splred with great hopes of placing
funds on Ten Eycl1 either today or to-
morrow, but will bring considerable
money with them and be prepared to
wager it on their favorite in large OF
small amounts.
