Foreign Musicians.

The Musical union has raised it's ad
mission fee in the hope that this &C.
ton may do something toward check
ing the increase in the number Of oy-
chestral musicians in the United
States. Not only does the increase CT
native musicians yearly tend to make
the supply much greater than the de-
mand, but there is never a visiting or
chestra that does moi leave behind it a
certain part of it's forces. The Banda
Rosa. Strauss orchestra and an or
chestra that came here with an opera
company all left some Of their men,
bers behind them, and it. is not in the
least unlikely that the same thing will
happen when the Leipsic orchestra,
now OIL it's way to this country, de-
cides to go home.
Sometimes the players are under con-
tract and must return to Europe, but
they generally come back to the United
States as soon as the opportunity Of
fers. 1t is to prevent this too rapid
increase that the union has raised the
initiation fee. because without being
one of its members no musician can
readily find employment here. In spite
of the excessive supply Of which they
complain, musicians are still SO much
better paid in this country than in Eu-
rope that it will be many years before
their emigration to this country comes
to an end.--New York Sun.

Society That Already Has Many
Thousands of Members.
Don't think two men. apparently 9th
erwise sane. are candidates for kaA-
kakee If you hear them talking like
this:
No. Are you a Buffalo?
No. 2-You bet your bottom dollar.
No. Where do you travel?
No. 2-Over the western plains.
No. 1sHow!
No. 2-Swift and plain.
No. fright you are. Shake!
Then they grip left hands, interlock-
ing their fingers in a way only known
to the initiated. Next, one Of them
leads the way to the nearest bar. where
they raise the glasses. with their left
hands.
The question. ".Are you a Buffalo?'
is probably asked 10000 times a day in
Chicago alone. The number of times
it is asked in the United States daily is
beyond calculation. for every Buffalo
is looking all day for new members.
AT the slightest encouragement he has
tens to initiate his victim. First he de-
mands II cents of him as an initiation
fee. AS it is not often that a man has
the exact change, he hands oyer any
old piece OF silver he happens to have.
mo change" says the Buffalo, with a
grin, and pockets the silver, leaving
his victim to get e in turn.
The initiation ends up with liquid re-
frcshments. and If a Buffalo is caught
lifting his glass with his right hand he
has to treat the whole crowd. Then
he becomes of the second degree.
Following IS the official pledge Of the
members:
Pm a member of the Order of Buffaloes

To observe these conditions with the utmost

Havana Has Been Clear of the Disease
For the Past Two Months.
Havana, June 22.-Owing to the alb
sence of yellow fever in this city. Ma
jor Gleason Of the marine hospital SER
vice corps has recommended that the
quarantine be raised on passengers from
Cuba destined to points north of the
southern boundary of Maryland.
There has not been fresh case of yell
low fever in Havana for nearly two
months and the cases which have occur
red this year have been light. Neither
are there any cases of yellow fever in
any part of the island.
The strongest objection against adj
hitting non-immunes from Cuba comes
from the boards of health of the south
ern states. These boards even object
to the entrance of such persons at New
York, fearing that these passengers
will go south before the lapse Of five
days.

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
Want a Southern Nan For the DEM

SEVERAL SUGGESTED
All Are Well Known Throughout the
Country and Either Would Make
q Winning Ticket For the
Democratic Party.

Washington, June 22.-COngressm man
yohn Wesley Gaines Of Tennessee. i'll an
interview favors the nomination of
southern man for president in 1904. He
says;
my proposition for the nomination of
n southern man in 1904 is taking like
like wild fire Since l made it week
ago l have received stacks of letters from
all parts of the country commencing
me. For more than 80 years this cOun-
cry was ruled by the south, and am
satisfied we can regain control if we go
about it in the right way The first
step in this direction should be the nom-
lnaiton of a straight, old fashioned
southern Democrat for president in 1904.
The man who says that the south does
not now possess an abundance of presi-
dental material is fool. can name a
, dozen men or more, any one Of whom
would make us winning candidate. "
Then Mr.. Gaines mentioned these
names: Senator of Alabama, Senator
gJockrell of Missouri. Senator Carmack,
and ex-senator Turley of Tennessee;
. Senators Culberson and Bailey of Texas,
Senator Bacon and Clark Howell of
Georgia. Associate Justice White of
Louisiana
"And," said Mr.. Gaines, you might
add to this list the name Of John Mar
shall Harlan of Kentucky who, though
appointed to the United States supreme
court as a Republican, has enunciated
the Democratic doctrines from the
bench more than once.
"The war is over and the south is an
integral part of the union and not an
insular possession or a Porto Rico, and
besides hav'nt numerous ex-Confeder-
ates served on the bench of the supreme
court and in other positions of the fed
eral Judiciary by appointment Of both
Democratic and Republican presidents?
Also, haven't several ex-Confederates
served in the cabinets of both Repub-
Iican and Democratic presidents? Con-
gress has been full of ex-Confederates
for 80 years. Surely if ex-Confederates
can be trusted to make and interpret
laws, they can be. trusted to execute

government is formed, when a recipro-

That soi1ed Ring on the MIX BottI,

Who ever knew of a milk bottle to
have a ring of creaminess left where a
dishcloth on the end Of a fork could
reach it? That ring always gets set
tied just at the one unapproachable
spot. It's the same way with glass
vases that are used for flowers. The
smaller the neck of the vase the more
fondness does the glass show for that
deposit left by the decay of the stems.
This is easily removed by powdered
pumice stone applied with small bit
of cloth on the end of a stick, provided
the stick and cloth can reach it. A lit
tie hydrochloric acid diluted in about
eight times its own bulk Of water is
very good for removing deposits that
are outside the range of an inserted
stick. but be careful not to put your
fingers into the ACID, concludes the New
York Sun.

that similar hill or range Of hills in
