SOME MUSICAL NOTES.


The concert given by the celebrated Ital-
ian Banda Rosa, Eugenio Sorrentino,
conductor, at the Opera House, last even
ing. attracted representative audience of
lovers of music. The afternoon concert
was omitted. owing TO the late arrival of
the band, which was involved in a rail-
road wreck near Pittsburg. The pro-
gramme for the evening, changed in some
particulars from the printed schedule, was
as follows:
Overture-"Wiliiam Tell .......... Ross:ni
Loves Dream After the Ball. .Czibuika
Fantasia on Verdi's Traviata. .Loregilo
Clarinet Solo. ...........Sig. dc Carl
G.oconda-Grand Finale Act III. Ponchielli
Star Spangled Banner (encore) .....-
PART 2.
0O Mrs. Marshall Pease.
Trovatore-Act IV............. Verdi
WaltZ-Tres Jolie Waldteufel
Carmen-Grand Fantasia ............ .Bizet
The organization is a very capable one,
under the perfect control of the gifted
conductor, and gave the greatest measure
of satisfaction. 1t is peculiarly strong in
purely military marches. where the
brasses are both powerful and accurate.
In fact, the band was too big for the
Opera House, and would have been heard
to better advantage in the open air.
The concert given at the Y. N. C. A.
auditorium. last evening, by the Standard
Male Quartette. under the direction of
Prof T. L. Williams, attracted a large
number of musical people. and was dis
tinct artistic success. The programme
was very long, embracing no less than
twenty-one numbers, but each was we'll
rendered.
Among those who took part were Mrs
Flora Williams, Miss Margaret Hervey,
Miss Emma Connolly, Miss Annie Shaw
Mr.. E. j. Deenan. Mr.. l.. H. Clement, Mr..
D. W. Jennings, Mr.. John X. Rosser, and
the members of the quartette. All taking
part are to be congratulated upon the sue
cess achieved.

Last evening the stockholders of the
Riverside Steel Company met at the
Office of the Company, at Main and
South streets, the stock being very
largely represented.
John Waterhouse, Esq, presided over
the meeting, and ]. D. Culbertson act
ed as secretary. At least twenty-five
gentlemen largely interested in the
Company were present, and some stock
was represented by proxy. Mr.. F. j.
Hearne and William Hearne explained
the proposition made to the Company
by the j. Pierpont Morgan interests,
and the matter was generally discussed
1t ended in an option being given to the
prospective purchasers running until
July LIST next, and embracing two prop
ositions, viz: All cash for the stock,
at the rate of 5000 per share of 500, or,
two, per cent preferred shares of
stock and one share common stock for
each 500 share of the present capital;
or part cash and part stock, as may be
arranged.
1t is also a stipulation in the OPP
ton that Manager F. j. Hearne and j..
D. Culbertson shall be retained by the
new management in case the sale is
made, at their present salaries.
The details of the meeting were nat
urally very difficult to obtain, as those
present were reluctant to talk, but the
above is believed to correctly outline
the results of the meeting.
The directors of the Wheeling Iron
and Steel Company held their regular
meeting last night at the company
Office on Fourteenth street Ind trans
acted number of business matters of
routine nature. After the close of
the meeting, several of the stockhold-
ers of the Wheeling steel plant were
interviewed in regard to the report
now being circulated to the effect that
negotiations have been going on for
the transfer of the stock of the Wheel
ing steel plant into the possession of
the National Steel Company, of Chi
cago. One of the stockholders stated
that the report had no foundation
whatever, and that it was merely
newspaper talk; another stakeholder
said that nothing had been acted upon
by the company for publication and
the third stakeholder positively re-
fused to discuss the matter.

THE ADVANCE.

AS has been mentioned the employees
of the steel department of the Wheel
ing Iron and Steel Works, notified the
company on the 9Th inst. of their de-
sire for a restoration of wages from
the last reduction in 1897, granting the
company at the same time, thirty days
time, in which to consider the demand.
1t was stated yesterday that President
Russell C. Hubbard, of the Wheeling
Iron and Steel Company, would confer
with the men in regard to their de-
mand in a few days. In an interview
last evening, Mr.. Hubbard refused to
mention anything concerning the re-
ported conference, saying that he was
not at liberty to talk on such matters.

Music Wards or Fatigue,

A Philadelphia contractor, who has
recently returned form the Soudan,
tells OF an interesting fact connect ed
with the building by the English OF
the new military railroad in that
region. With every gang of 30 or 81
men are assigned two harpers and 4
fute player. Music is furnished al.
most continuously, and SO long as The
musicians play the workmen nearly
all negroes--do rot seem 10 feel the
fatigue, and their movements are CON
formed as nearly ss possible to the
time If The music. Asa general thing
the players get tired before The work
men do. To white man the melody
produced by these cheerers Of labor
would not be inspiring, for it is
peculiarly plaintive. The Africans,
however, find the music a great in
spi: alton, and work with cheefuIuess
and disra'ch. The Philadelphia
declares that the idea is one well
worth considering, for it is well known
that colored laborers anl stevedores
along the river front will work harde:
and faster If permitted to sing. As q

Cutting the Chickens Wings.

II a person cares 10, ii is possible TO
cut he wings when the chickens are
young so that their flying ability will
be efectually impaired for all time.
This will often prove to he a great adj
vantage, especially with fowls Of the
Leghorn, Hamburg and Micorca
breads. This is not difficult or pain
ful to the chick, if done at the right
time, and consists simply i'll cutting
the wing at the last JOINT; the portion
cut of is but triae when the chick
is young, bat when it is Developed II
make, quite material difference in
its wing power, 50 much so that it is
a comparatively small matter to cou-
fine them, aud so far as practicabi!jty
is concerned, it does not impair their
useful qualities in the least. II the
work is done when the chicken is
about ten or twelve days old, it Is
scarcely painful, and the chick soon
RECEIVERS its usual activity.

His experiments wee ve-y iastruc-
tive, showing that when eating 25

Dill as the rat1OQ was IUCI easel lrI
each two pounds of dry matter, the in
crease Of milk was about &c, and at
gradual reduction in the amount OF
dry matter to produce pound of
milk.
The conclusions Of the above turns
bright light on one grave mistake often
made, that Of deficient feeding.
A bright, clear headed man will
look into this question. and will see
that the milk costing the least is pro-
dGced when the COW is fed al abun-
dant ration, properly balanced. We
bare often heard farmers remark con-
cern;ng a reignbor who was liberal
feeder: "Ie=, I know he gets lots OF
milk, but it costs him all it is worth
in fee;ling.'
By the above it will be seen that it
took Just about half the food to pro-
duce a poand oe milk when the cow
was fed 32 pounds OF dry matte: that
it did when she was fed 25 pounds,
conditions icing the same. Many
feed their COWS o1ly about enough to

Entrances Fields,

In all country roal making there is
| usually much plowing up OF roadsides
and scraping Of the soil into the mid
die Of the highway to make good
! road bed. Most Of this work is worse
than useless, though there are places
where the open ditch beside the road
operates as drain and thus does some
good. But i'll any case the farmer who
owns land adjoining the road should
insist that i the ditch is needed the
highway orerseer must tridge the
open ditch so that it will not ob@truct
the entrances to his fields. Cut Of
those fields he will each year draw
many loads Of produce, and into them
a. many Of manure. 10 have good
entrance to hs fields is therefore
the most important part Of road max
ing for him. YET after the road tax is
workel out it is often found that
h gl but very narrow roadbed has been
made il the centre of the highway,
and ditch between it and the gate
tha: lie uses to enter lis fields. The
only way for the farmer then to do is
to make al his owlt expense calve t
for water to rass through, and cover
it nearly ss high as the roadbed. 1t
will make a bad place to turn if the
roadbed is narrow as well as h gh.
When a farmer has few sach ex-
perien:es lie will probably come to
the conclusion that VIC. king cut his
tax under the average path master is
about the dearest possible way to keep
roads il sood condition, even though
he does not have to ray oat any
money. Tie time is coming when
