musical feast in the concert arranged by
[ Miss Pearl Benham. The programme was
| raade up of vocal numbers by Miss Ben

| and violin numbers by Mr. Raymond
Shryock, and in each selection the best
| possibilities of voice and instrument were
brought out by careful, intelligent treat

Miss Benham's centralto is such an es-

PRESIDENT WATERING.
Still Uncertain Whether or Not He
VIII Come West.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Nothing has
teen determined as to the president $
visit to Chicago. Mr.. Mckinley Is simply
awaiting developments. He is not ac-
cepting any more invitations, nor ar
ranging further the details Of the journey.
Absolutely nothing definite can be Sc
cured at the White house.
There is a growing impression here
that the Chicago authorities will with
draw their invitation, and leave the presi-
dent free of embarrassment. Whether the
president will then abandon his plan 20
go to the Twin Cities and the small towns
in Ohio and Illinois has not been deter
mined, but the chances are that he will.
Nothing has been seen yet of the union
card, making the president an honorary
member of the StOnecutters' union. If it
has come to the White house, it has not
yet passed the gauntlet of sub and as
sistant secretaries. The president will be
greatly disappointed if he is compelled to
give up this trip; for there is no denying
that it has a political aspect and the
friends of the administration have antici-
pated much good in the coming campaign
from the speech-making and enthusiasm
of the junket

Smallpox has developed at the Preside

the disease was smallpox and the patient
was sent to the pest house. Ward 1, In
which the man had been, was fumigated
and the hospital was quarantined A
number of Minnesota men are in the
hospital, but the doctors refused to say

COURTING DEATH.

Apparently in the prime of physical
vigor and at a period of life when many
years of activity apparently still re-
manned, the late Charles A. Pillsbury sud-
denly died The fatal complaint in his
case was that Of heart disease. He had
consulted the best experts in Europe on
his disease without effect and was under
treatment to the hour of his death
THIS, genial, large-hearted and amiable
gentleman surrendered his life in It's
prime to the demands on his physical AMI

devotion to large business interests. Hav-

Peter Murphy yesterday made appica-

resolution ordering the transfer. Mayor

and while the board of aldermen passed
the same over the mayors head the as
sembly refused to follow suit. City Clerk
Jensen refused to issue a license to Muir

will continue in his business and if ar
rested will test the ordinance which he
claims is unconstitutional.
