No organization in this city has done
more to advance the musical taste of the
community than the Georgetown Orches-
ira. From small beginning 1t has grown
in numbers, and each year has shown
marked improvement in its concert work.
Since Prof. Kaspar became its conductor
there has been a steady increase in inter
est and constant advancement in musical
art. Each season has shown progressive
ideas, and more ambitious compositions
have been attacked
The orchestra can now be said to rank
among the highest amateur organizations,
and its work will compare favorably with
many professional orchestras. II depends
for its support upon the people Of Wash
ington, and that support has been gener-
Gus in the past.
The orchestra is in its sixteenth year,
and will give its fftieth concert at the
Lafayette Square Opera House Thursday
evening, May 3, assisted by Mrs Thomas
c. Noyes who will sing La Traviata"
aria with orchestra, and other songs with
piano. Prof. Gloetzner, Washington's emf
nent pianist. has selected the beautiful
concerto by Grieg.

THOMAS GoRDY's TARGET.
His Bullet Hit the Mark and the
Result wns Wonderful.

(From the New Orleans Times DemOcrat)
One of the most remarkable dynamite
explosions that ever happened occurred {
few days ago on the levee. where the
steam dredge Camors was engaged Sir
clearing away the river bottom.
It was in the quiet hum and drowsiness
/ of the monday hour. The monotonous
creak of the dredging scoop had ceased
and the lab0rers, wiping their heated
brows. sought the refuge of the lunch
room with a sigh of relief, and prepared
for the midday repast. Then it was that
Thomas Gordy. a clerk on the boat. also
desisted from his Iabors and became seized
with desire to recreate his wasted fac
uties by shooting with a Monte Cristo
rife. Taking the rife in his hand he went
on deck and commenced to plug away at
little fish swimming near the bank. See
ing a barrel on the levee. twentysix feet
away, he thought it would be pleasant
TO put a hole through 1t.
Now. ordinarily, 1t is entertaining on a
hot summers day to put holes through
a barrel. but marksmen should remember
that all barrels are not empty. This par
ticular barrel covered two boxes, each
containing fifty pounds of the most pow
erful dynamite, 70 per cent Of nitro
glycerine. Two pounds OF it is sufficient
to blow the toughest stump into atoms,
and good care is taken that all living ami
mails are 200 feet away when the explosion
occurs. It was this harmless looking bar
rel that Mr. GOrdy thought it would be
amusing to puncture. He took a careful
aim and fired.
That Mr.. Gordy lives to tell the tale Is
nothing more or less than remarkable
There was a terrific explosion that shook
windows in the Ursuline Convent mile
away Gordy's clothes we're stripped from
him in tatters. and he was thrown under
the barge. Strange to say, he retained

aboard. Although he suffered from the
shock for some time he now goes about
with only a slight limp as a result of his
injuries.
The dredgeboat was not appreciably in
jured. although by Measurement only
twenty-six feet away from the explosion.
Nearly every man or board was knocked
down, but no one was injured. watch

found that the crown Of his hat had besn

The dynamite played many queer tricks.
Besides breaking every glass and riece Ct
crocEery on the barge, it took away the
stoyepipe and legs Of the kitchen stove,
but left the body of the stove. The legs
were never found. twenty-five feet away
a negro was knocked out of his own skin
and swan ashore. Gordys gun was found
in the woods with a bent trigger and ham
mer. His WatIh case was also found. but
its works had been blown out.

TIE DOVE AND THE SNAKE.

The story of the bird that was charmed
dawn-light of yesterday morning the
Butte Miners dove OF peace percned upon
an olive branch and gazed confidingly
into the brilliant eyes of the Anaconda.
In their limpid depths the dove thought it
saw reflected the promise of sweet har-
mony: and the Dove cooed softly and told
the Snake that caucuses were to be held
and that the Dove and the Snake shout
attend them together. This was the bur-
den of its COO:
The coming presidential election is too
important to be complicated with such
disturbing clements as partisan quar-
rels.
But the Snake was a willy reptile. 1t
shook it's tail and beckoned from the bur-
rows of The Hill all it's attendants and
followers. And When the Dove came to
the caucuses there was no room for it
and it mourned. Theleupon the max
swallowed the bird and lett only the tai
feathers. .-.
This morning the Miner chronicled the
death of its Dove in this manner:
THE o~utrageous sce-es, the overbear-
ing, laWless, bulldozing methods thai
have become a feature of politics in Butte
when the, DAILY gang is ordered down
from the hill We're re-enacted.
And in it's editorial obituary the mourn
ing of the feathered tribe is thus tear
fully described:
Ii is the cry of a defeated democracy
beaten by those Who wear the cloak o
democracy to serve one man whose lem
ocracy has never been above suspicion.
The proceedings of last night were in
famous. How long do these people ex
pect democrats to submit to such meth

A SAFETY DEVICE.

= Cook and Wishon of Butte have receiv-
ed a patent for a safety appliance
for mine cages, relating to stopping the
movements of mine cages and being SO
constructed as to provide a means OF
holding the cage under the control OF the
cage tender.
Mounted in the framing of the cage be-
low the deck or platform are two shatts
to the ends of which are fixed dogs,
which have toothed cam surfaces adap-
ted to bear against the guides of the shaft
to grip them and stop the Gag To eacn
shaft is fixed a pinion which meshes,
with racks which extend vertically be-
tween the pinions and fastened to their
upper ends to a link. BY the movement
of the racks through the medium OF the
inks the pinions and shafts may be turn
ed and the dogs throw into and out of en-
gagement with the guides. The upper end
Of the link is pivotally Joined to a lever
fulcrumed on a stud projected from the
framing of the cage. The invention has
| beeen applied in the Spectator mine.

THE PLAGUE.

From the tenor Of a majority Of the pa
pers in San Francisco 1t would appear
that the so-called plague scare" Is al
political pipe Dream" cooked. not in
Chinatown where pipe dreams are a ha-
but in the meetings of q democratic
board of health. The object is said to be
to provide an excuse for a raid On the
city treasury and it is minated that IN
placing a quarantine against Chinatown
the sanitary experts are enable TO sive
color to the plague reports witaoucsDro-
voking the wrath of democratic VOTERS.
The scheme would not take 40 we'll il

The suspicious eases, Oh. Of which symp-

would be quickly pooh-poohed even by
this democratic board Of health If a.the
liberty of all the citizens of the Bay city
should be threatened. 40

| prisonment of the willy celestials. The
board of health might have made a valid
plea for funds IN the ground Of neces-
sity for precautionary measures without
resorting to the doubtful discovery OF
real cases of plague. Those conversant
! with the condition of Chinatown; its filth
its sickening tenements with their hordes
of pagan occupants; can realize the nee
essity of purging the city of such a pla-
que spot, but there is no ear for the wolf
cry that attempts to brighten a populous
community into the belief that the "black
death 'hovers at their door n yet only
claims a dozen victims in a months time.
