MARINE BANDS EQUIPMENT.
1t Is Well Provided for It's Present
Limited Tour.

Probably no band ever before Travelled
with the complete equipment which has
been provided for the present limited tour
of the United States Marine Mand, which
celebrated organization is to be heard in
concert in Tomlinson Hall Wednesday night
of the present week. The band itself, in
it's reorganized and enlarged form (the out
come of a special act of Congress), is prac-
tically unknown to the people outside of the
national Capital. except of course by repu-
tation. and the gentlemen having the direc-
ton Of the tour have. it is declared, made
preparations to introduce the band In an
unusually handsome manner. When the
men play in Tomlinson Hall Wednesday
night they will appear in the new full
dress uniforms which were presented to
them by Brigadier General Charles Hey
wood, c~ommandant at Washington, just
prior TO their departure from the Capital.
General Haywood is an ardent admirer OF
the band and presented these uniforms,
together with neat new fatigue uniforms,
as a token of his regard and as a recogni-
ton Of the valuable work accomplished by
them for the department. General Hay
wood, it is asserted, paid for these two
of his private funds.
The Marine Band is equally we'll cared
for in other respects. The tour Is being
made in a special train of four Pullman
cars, one named The President" which
is the reception car, and another, "Santel-
manu. christened for the efficient leader
of the organization. This latter is the din
ing car and is in the care of Major Gore,
commissary general. The third car is the
sleeper, 9TH Alpha" and the fourth car
ries the baggage, Of which there is no in
considerable quantity, as may readily be
imagined. A noteworthy feature OF the
concert will be the performance of Chopin's
marvellous March Funebre,' recently
rendered in this city by orches-
ira with thrilling effect. II is said to be
the greatest musical composition of its
kind ever written.

ODD RIDING HABIT
How the Empress Got Something
Different.

Some years ago the late Empress of Aus
tria. who was probably the most noted
equestrienne Of Europe. wrote 10 Yaus *
Gle, her tailors in Paris. demanding a rid
ing habit which should be entirely different
from any yet produced. The pleasurable ex-
element resultant from a Queens order
soon gave way 20 CONSERVATION in view Of
the seeming impossibility Of the task. In
his dilemma the master took into his con-
fdcnce one of the more experienced ~tailors.
and between them they planned a habi
which should be devoid Of all seams except
at necessary openings. 4 soft, heavy. ele-
CANT Jersey cloth was chosen. and with IL
the tailor fastened 10 Vienna.
The habit proved a success. the Empress
was delighted and the secret Of the design
was so well kept that another costume
like it was not seen for more than two
years.
The tailor who made the costume was an
American. who has since returned 10 the
States and made for himself an enviable
reputation among Chicago's smart tailors.
This week Mr.. Bouschelle-for twas he
who made the Empress's habit-became a
citizen OF indianapolis and the manager Of
l.. S. Ayres & Co.'S department of women's
tailoring.

IN AID OF TEMPERANCE
a MASS MEETING is HELD AT ROB-
ERTS PARK CHURCH.
Miss Matte Guild, of Chicago, and
-Epidemic of Right eeded

The mass meeting of the Young Peoples
Christian Temperance Union. held at Rob
erts Park NJ. Z. Church yesterday after
noon. was very largely attended. many
having gone TO the church with the expec-
tation Of hearing Miss Eva Marshall Shontz,
the noted temperance lecturer. who had
promised to be present and address the
meeting on the subject of Carrie Nation
and Her Hatchet.' At the last moment
however, Miss Shontz was prevented from
coming by the serious illness OF her father,
and Miss Matte Guild. OF Chicago. the
president of the Y. p. c.. 7. U. of Illinois,
was sent by the National Temperance
Union to fill her place.
Miss Guild did not attempt any set speech.
but spoke in an entertaining and uncon-
ventionai way of her personal acquaintance
with Mrs. Nation, telling of many of the
little peculiarities of the woman who she
said was absolutely fearless in doing what
she deemed to be right. Miss Guild said
hat she would not express her opinion
as to whether she thought Mrs. Nation
had been right in the course she had pur-
sued in Kansas, but the tenor or her re-
marks was directed towards Mrs. Nation $
justification. Whatever may have been

country from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and in doing that she has done the thing

Rev. j. Cumming Smith, pastor of the
Tabernacle Church, spoke. briefly of the To-
cal conditions and needs. He said there
had been growing up in the city during
the last fifteen years an epidemic OF what
is called light and convivial drinking. This
was due, he said, to social conditions. Wine
was to be found on the tables of many or
the best families in the city, and when
the youths of the city were given such
encouragement at home 1t was a hard mat
ter to attempt 10 correct the evil away
from the home. There is also growing up
IN the city, Mr.. Smith said, a lighter sort
of aristocracy, composed generally OF the
people who are without an opinion on any
subject; the people who never make q move
ment against anything that is bad. The
city cannot afford to encourage the growth
of this sort of people, Mr.. Smith said, and
the only way to overcome the epidemic OF
wrong which had assailed the city was
to begin an epidemic of right. The temper
ance movement, he said. was In need or

right and who would prove their ndeHty

laws of the State, but that she was JUS

means of calling attention to the greatest
lawbreakers on earth.

SPIRIT OF REFINEMENT.
"Now. If you are going to build the church
of Christ magnihcally, there is another
thing you must do. and that is 10 touch

a word we do not hear much Of in the
church and conative of a quality we do not
expect to find in a church. We expect the
churches TO be prosperous. and we are
happy If the financial affairs of our church
are in a good way. That church is called
a successful church. If a church has no
difficulty in raising its money. then il is
supposed TO be in a fair way. We hear
much about the popular church.. We want
the church to be popular. TO be a taking
church with the masses and a taking

the church OF Jesus Christ has sunk In

LARGER GRANT HELPS OUT
DAIRY AND FOOD DEPARTMENT
CAN Do EETTER WORK.

The coming year will witness a growth
in the state dairy and food department
that will be surprising for the reason
that, in addition to the general appropr1a-
ton of $1S,Q0G, the Legislature has seen
ht to appropriate $500. Said Labor Com
missioner Mcconnell yesterday:
For the past three administrations the
work of the department has been stead
lily increasing, and il has had to be sat-
isfcd with the same force Of men for all
the time Before no attention was paid
to jellies and foods and maple syrup and
liquors, and now this is one Of the most
important parts of our work. We asked
for an additional appropriation Of $4,000
men, but we only got $5,000 and will
have to be satisfied with that. AS mat
ters now stand, however, the department
can do about double the work that it
would otherwise have done.
For instance, in our chemical depart
ment, we are now unable to tend to all
the work that is piling up. From fifteen
to twenty tests are being made every
day and about double the number Of
samples are coming in. 1t will be an
absolute necessity to increase the help
in that department, or otherwise all the
work will not be DONE"
CommfssionersMc Mcconnell has not named
his new secretary for the commission as
yet, but he will be named before the
week is over. Tt is generally understood
that the appointment will be q St. Paul
