ADMIRATION OF GEN. GOMEZ
Extraordinary Demonstrations by Cubans nj
the Parade in Havana

HAVANA. Feb. 27.-"What will become OF
Gen. Gomezr" Ia n question that is agitating
some Americans. To one who witnessed the
popular demonstration ofsFriday. when Co.
mez stood on a balcony OF the Governor Cen
erals palace for four hours while thousands
did him honor and attended tho banquet. last
night, there cnn be no doubt as to what Gu
bans would do.for their hero had they their
will. The Generals health and strength are
both astonishing. After ten days OF journey

rades. holding receptions and attending ban
uuets. the old mar seems able to endure an-
other campaign without q rest. He has brok-
en- Town his staff and the horses are tagged
out. DR.. Emilio Nunez said: Really. his
strength is wonderful"
During that review Of Friday I was on the
balcony within ten feet Of Gen. Gomez. looked
into the faces upturned and saw the ado ration
shine upon them. Women would stop In the
procession when opposite their idol, fall on
their knees, and while sobbinR. frantically beat

Specific AeoIiau Wonders

Besides its ability to mimic orchestral and
solo effects. the Aeolian has qualities that
are unique-imitative OF n~othing-and which
diYerentiate It from any other musical In
strument. What we mean. can be readily
Rrasped by any one who will call and ask to
Danse Macabre. or Mendelssohn's Midsum-
mer Nights Dream Overture or Scherzo. or
naise. and other music Of like character.
There are points about the Aeolian TRANSCRIPT
tons Of these pieces which cannot be de-
scribed. but IL Ia safe to say that In some
respects they excel the PLAYING OF any per-
former or band OF performers, az. to instance
one only-that dream OF orchestral leaders,
absolute perfection Of tone-balance in plano
as well as forte passages.

Chicago Record, IAN American traveller

a place. When the American called for
his check. the waiter performed a feat in
mathematics and learned that three times
three made seventeen. The American
found fault with this system of multipii-
cation and stood up to protest. The young
woman who sold programmes threw her
self in front of him and seized his arm.

made a run for the stairway. There was
another computation. and 1t was decided
that three times three made nine.'

THE GROWTH OF TRUSTS.

One reason for the great Increase In 'he
number Of trusts IS the difficulty expert
enced in finding investments which pay a
fair rate Of .nterest-that is. Investments
which are considered git-edged FRS
class securities do not pay more than three
per cent and government bonds do not
pay that much. The promoters Of trusts,
knowing that there & a vast amount Of
money seeking investment and feeling
certain that they can dispose Of an almost
unlimited amount Of shares OF trusts by
promising high rates Of interest, are busy
making combinations Of all kinds Of bust
nesses and industries.
No doubt some Of these trusts will nay
a good return on the money invested in
them, but il IS certain that there are num-
bers OF them that Will not because they are
overcapitsllzed- \ few days ago the secre-
tary Of the Treasury and Senator Depew
took occasion in public addresses 20 eau
ton the people against trusts which are
overcapita lied, or. rather, against the
overcapita iization Of trusts. what they
rad IN mind MAS that a day Of reckoning
would come for the trusts which rest upon
a fraudulent or dishonest basis. Those
who have put their money IN such trusts
win lose il sooner or later, and the banks
waich loan money on The shares Of sucn
concerns will suffer loss.
Il ought no 10 be a difficult matter for
the public 10 determine which are the over
capitalized trusts and which are the trusts
which have kept within safe bounds IN
issuing shares. The truth about each Of
the trusts IS pretty well known in well in
FORMED financial circles. A person who is
not in a position to find out all about
trusts ought to steer clear OF them.t
It is certain that the times for trusts
will not always be as good as they are
now A little depression in business will
be all that is necessary to force some of
them into bankruptcy. Such depression
may come suddenly. The wise thing to
do therefore Is to give all trusts which are
not known 10 be able to weather a fnan-

Griggs said the other day That trusts were
more dangerous to those who put their
money in them than to the public. 1t
would not be at all surprising if time
should demonstrate the truth of this re-
mark. Some OF the most persistent enc
mics Of trusts now are those who have
faied to get in on the ground floor. When
the trust bubble bursts the greatest enc
mics of trusts will be those who have lost
