CITY PRIMARY.
The Executive Committee viii
Probably Meet in a Few
DAYS and Call One.

The city executive committee will
probablv meet within the next few
DAYS and call primary for the nomi-
nation of mayor and aldermen. The
committee is composed of 5. r. Chris
tie, B. +. Melton, W. c. Paschal and
J. A. Laing.
The election will occur on the second
Wednesday in December, and the time
in which to hold the primary is neces-
sarily short, especially if the commit
tee requires the voters to register.
Municipal politics were never quiet
er in Dawson, and there will doubtless
be no opposition to the reelection Of
Mayor Lowrey and Aldermen Dean,
Jennings and Nasworthy, whose terms
of Office will soon expire.

From the Triton Gazette.
Congressman J. N. Griggs spoke
to the voters of Berrien at Nashville
Tuesday during the noon recess of
court. His ADDRESS, while only of an
hours duration. was clear, forcible
and logical. 1t dealt principally with
the republican policy of foreign con-
quests, and the disadvantage of en-
tangling foreign alliances. His audi
ence was with him from the first, and
he was roundly and repeatedly cheer
ed. After the address he was kept
busy for quite a while greeting old
and enthusiastic friends.

steamer of the Observation-Disclosures
Steamship Company, Will take place
on Thursday. The finishing touches
are now being put on the vessel at the

expected that the vessel viii more than

the Union Iron Works early ID the
| morning and be given 4 squirt on ths
bay to warm up her engines and then
Will go outside the heads.
The trial of the Californian is of in
terest to the Coast for more reasons
than one. In the first place she will
establish new route for steamers be-
tween here and New York by way of
Honolulu. From here the steamers OF
the new line Will carry general mer-
chandise 10 Honolulu, then take sugar
to the Atlantic seaboard and return &c
San Francisco with general cargoes
The Californian is the largest CONNER
cial craft ever built on the Coast, but
the keel of larger vessel for the same
company has been laid at the Union
Iron Works.
The Californian, as soon as she has
been accepted by her owners will COM

To the Editor of The Evening Star
Rarely has a program been offered to
Washington audience SO rich in its attrac-
| tions as that which was missed by the mu-
| sic devotees who braved the storm of last
Thursday, to find the doors of the National
| Theater placarded with the dreary card,
| NO concert" There were promised, be-
| sides the distinguished violinist from Rus
| sia soloist, the novelties of two grand
orchestral works of a high character which
had never before been given in Washington.
| The disappointment was a bitter one to the
| lovers of good music in Washington and to
those who have pride in Washingtons 8
| good name as center of some culture a.
| well of political business. But how
much more bitter the disappointment if
| that single postponement means practically
| the postponement of all symphony concerts
or orchestral music of a high order in
Washington for an indefinite time to come,
Whether it shall mean tl,is or not depends
! on what the musical people of Washington
| give their verdict next Thursday in fill
| ing up the house for the postponed concert,
| and in making liberal subscription for the
| remaining three concerts of the proposed
| season. To think of Washington, with It's
gathering of wealthy people from the whole
| country and its pretentions to vie with for
| eign capitals in culture unable to support
| series of symphony concerts or anything
more than the passing shows of a country
| town. We wish Mr. Jungnickel would have
patience nd could afford to wait until the
symphoLe becomes fashionable enough for
| Washingtonians TO support, but II ne can
| not we do not blame him, and good, long
| deprivation of anything higher than the
coon songs and the vaudeville character
dance is only what will have richly de-
served if we fail to patronize the Baltimore
| Symphony series now awaiting its rate at
| the next concert. Let there be quick NIL
| ing up of the subscription list and a rousing
| good house to greet Mr.. Jungnickel next
| week and so let Washington redeem her
| good name and enjoy her symphony con-
| certs hereafter year after year as regularly
as the months come around.
