1t ought not to be difficult this season
to raise a liberal subscription fund for the
symphony concerts planned. Last year these
somewhat doubtful and experimental ven-
ture. 1t was not generally known what
Conductor Schneider and his orchestra
could do and the public was somewhat
slow in offering encouragement to the en-
terprise. All doubts were removed, how
ever. with the giving Of the first concert
The most critical of music lovers were de-
lighted with the high-cass entertainment
offered, and it was found that the orchestra
and its leader were equal to all demands
Such music is not often to be heard out
side Of three or four large cities of the
country, and it should be matter Of PRIDE
as we'll as of personal qualification, on the
part of Indianapolis citizens to see that suf-
ficient financial support is offered to make
to secure series Of symphony concerts
as one of the regular attractions each win
ter. A series of local entertainments of
such high quality will dc more to estab-
lish the musical reputation of the commun-
ity than any number of festivals made
up Of imported talent. This city has a great
many music-lovers. but they are so divided
into clubs and societies of various sorts
and have so seldom had occasion to work
together that their influence has never
been fully felt. They should unite in this
matter and make common cause with the
Symphony Orchestra Society.

If We are favored with such weather as
this next week the attendance upon the
state fair will probably be the largest for
years. Thousands of people about Indianap-
oils are fond of coming to the capital once
in a while. This was the case years ago,
and it is much more popular now that the
town has grown to be beautiful city and
the railroads offer special rates. Besides,
Indianapolis Is made up largely of people
who themselves, or their ancestors, came
to Indianapolis to grow.up with the State's
natural center. There is not a community
in the State which can throw stones at In
dianapolis without hitting some OF its
neighbors. The state fair will have the usual
attractions and some novelties worthy of
the patronage of the public. What these
special attractions will be is set forth in
posters of wonderful device and coloring
literally exposed throughout the State.

The statements published yesterday show
that the local banks have large amounts Of
idle money in their vaults, placed there by
depositors. Usually when the loans and de-
posts of banks are nearly equal they are
regarded as in a sound condition. but the
last report of the Indianapolis banks shows
that, in the aggregate, the deposits are a
third greater than the loans. This means
that in period of unexampled prosperity
the banks carrying a large amount OF
loanable funds; and that means that money
was never so plentiful in this part of the
country as at the present time. If the trust
companies should make reports they would
show large amount of money which
awaits investment. Furthermore, the four
national banks are carrying 81 1857, 500 in gold
and some Of them pay, or would like to pay
current demands with gold Banks will give
gold for silver certificates. Consequently
there Is no ground for any complaint, since
on the gold basis, the country never had so
much money and never was there a time
when those giving adequate security could
obtain money at so low rates Of interest
The city is to be congratulated upon the
fiattering showing of its national banks. In
city do they show a greater financial
strength.

began with heavy rain at p. m, after

weather now is moderating and the barom-
amounting to 100000 has been done at the
dockyard alone.
Information from the dock yard says the
damage done there is very serious. The
breakwater is badly damaged On Ireland
and Boaz islands everything is more or
less injured. The damage Is roughly esti-
mated at 2100,000. At Somerset all the
boats and small craft have been destroyed
and trees demolished and houses unslated
or otherwise damaged At Prospect Camp
the damage Is estimated at $4,000. More
than half a mile of the causeway connecting
the mainland with st. Georges Is destroyed.
IT will cost E10000 to f12.0o0 TO repair IL.
News from ST. Georges, received by
whaleboat, says serious damage has been
done there to trees. houses. etc. All the
boats have been destroyed or badly injured.
Reports from outlying parishes are slowly
coming In. They all show there has been
great destruction of trees and serious injury
to houses and other property. From what
can be learned here, there has been no loss
of life.
1t is a curious coincidence that the great
gale of 1889 occurred Sept. il and II, and
this one was on Sept. IL and H. No correct
estimate OF the amount of damage to pri-
vate property can at present be obtained,
but 1t will be fully 100000.
