runs like clockwork.'
Not Up To Every six or eight
the Standard. months the local
Chautauqua circle settles into the
condition characterized by ex-
President Cleveland as "innocu-
GUS desuetude." It sort of boys
down and forgets it is alive and
when anybody speaks of it, it
drivels. The cause of these de-
plorable lapses is not clearly un-
derstood. The secretary says,
can unfortunate combination of
untoward circumstances;' the crit
ic says, Longing for home;" @.
O.. Dick says, LACK of self-conf-
dence;" other members say, "Sheer
laziness." Whatever the cause, the
disease shows itself at irregular
intervals. It was apparent last
Sunday in loosely prepared papers
and lack of intelligent discussion.
The musical portion of the pro-
gram saved the meeting last Sum-
day from extreme fatulence. It
was above criticism. The two
negro melodies were full of life
and tune, and SIX. Ms rendering
of Schubert's "Serenade" would
have been creditable performance
anywhere.
Of the papers read, only one
had any possible connection with
the studies the circle is pursuing.
That one was by "Pendennis, -
who can always be relied upon to
do his share of the work. The
address by the secretary was also
appropriate, as it came under the
head of substitute paper and
dealt with a topic in which the
members of the organization are
interested-the achievements of j T.
J. Hill. The other two papers
we're interesting enough, but were
decidedly out of place. AS is gen.
perally the case when meeting is
not up to the average, visitors were
present. One new member was
enrolled.
The concensus of opinion among
the members of the organization
is that one such meeting is of no
great portent. On the contrary
they say it has salutary effect,
as it exemplifes the plane of
mediocrity which will inevitably
become normal if all the members
fail to take an active interest in
the class books and constantly
work for the interest of the circle.
This steady work is being done by
the glee club, which invariably
furnishes an excellent program,
and those who are interested in
the welfare of the circle say it
should be done by all who attend
the meetings. The program in full
last Sunday was as follows:

Music in the parks, music furnished by
home musicians, free music amid sylvan
shades and leafy bowers, music among the
trees where the grasses and flowers "car-
pet all the way with Joy" such is the
noble scheme suggested by c. A. Quist and
Endorsed by many men Interested in the
cause of the common people.
In a letter to J. H. Eschman, president
of the Minneapolis Musicians association,
Mr.. Quist proposes to start a movement In
favor of music in the public parks. He
has observed that people do not go to
Lake Harriet or Como to look at the
scenery, but to hear the music. Such be-
ing the case, why should not people have
music in the parks near their homes?
The communication was submitted to
the board of directors of the Musicians
association, and they instructed President
Eschman to inform Mr.. Quist that "They
heartily concur in the movement and
stand ready and willing to render their
unanimous support and encouragement to
bring the matter to successful termina-
tion, providing that home talent be en-
ployed at such concerts ys=
: The idea is to have q committee, OF
three appointed to look after the business.

mayor, another selected by the park board
and the third by the Musicians associa-

Neao York SUI, Special Service
New York, March S.-Another midnight
marriage has united dashing young
femme de theater to the scion of wealthy
family who were looking higher than the
stage for a young woman to enjoy, through
him, their money and good name. Threats
of disinheritance have already come to
the youth over the wire, but he is too we'll
pleased with the present to worry about
the bridges of finance which in the future
may have to be crossed.
The groom is Howard Swift of Chicago,
one of the youngest sprigs of a branch OF
the porkpacking family of that name.
She whom he now calls wife is Gertrude
Dickson, until Thursday one of the tallest
members of the Toreador company at the

run over to New York and see what real
modern life was like.

STILL IN COUNCIL
Red Lake Agency Reds Hesitate to
Give Up Lands.
THEIR FIRST REPLY A REFUSAL
They Have Consented to Further
Hearing and the Council Will
Be Continued.

Special to The Journal.
Red Lake Agency, Mimi, March s."
The first council between Inspector
James Mclaughlin and the Red Lake. band
of Chippewas was held here on Tuesday
at 1 p. m. About 120 Indians, including
all the chiefs, were present. Many of the
Indians were in full ceremonial dress.
Each one wore the number OF eagle
feathers to which he was entitled by In
dian usage.
After a brief introduction by R. e. L.
Daniels, clerk in charge of the agency, IN
which he congratulated the Indians upon
having among them man whose knowl-
edge of their people, their needs and
their interests, is greater, probably, than
any other person now in the service, the,
inspector addressed the council.
At the conclusion of the Inspectors ad-
dress, chief Kay-bay-no-gins arose and,
shaking hands with the inspector, said.
We have now heard you. You have told us
why you have come to see u.s.. The Indians
of the Red Lake band now understand your
mission. 1t is not our purpose to answer
you at this time. We wish TO hold a council
in this building to consider your words.
The Indians then went into executive
session and continued in council until
8 o. m., when the major was, summoned
to hear their reply. Kay bay no gin in
| troduced Chief Moose Dung, who had been
appointed spokesman. The chief was
dressed in full robes Of ceremony and pre-
sent ed an imposing appearance. In long
and eloquent address in the Chippewa
language he presented the past griev-
ances Of the tribe and in conclusion stated
| that the Indians In council had decided, to
refuse any proposition for the cession Of
the lands in question. Major McLaugh-
| lin urged that the decision in this matter
be not made too hastily, and pointed out
I the advantages accruing to the band from
the sale Of these lands, whereupon the
Indians went once more into council and
continued their session through the next
| day.

tion. This committee to be known as the
Citizens Public Amusement Committee
Who'll Pay the Fiddler:
Mr. Quist, when asked where he would
get the money to carry out his plan, said:
.There are hundreds of people VINO
would willingly contribute to so noble an
undertaking. The idea is to have big
band that will alternate nightly in vari-
Gus parks of the city. For example, play
at Loring park one night, Riverside park
the next night, Farview park the next,
and so on.
II think the money could be raised by
public subscription. The mayor should
be willing to contribute something from
his contingent fund and the council and
park board should be willing to do their
SHARE"
The idea has been taken up with great
enthusiasm, and many people are already
interested. The musicians, in particular,
are elated over the prospect for recogni-
tion of home talent in outdoor music.
A definite plan has been proposed, and
with the hearty support expected from the
musicians and the music loving people
who would contribute to the maintenance
Of band playing in their, neighborhood, it
is confidently believed that enough money
can be raised to insure the success of the
undertaking. \

SIX YEARS OF FAMINE
First Declaration of the Little One
Unusual story From the
PODulist State.

Special to The Journal.
Harper, Kan, March s.-"six years Of
famine in Kansas is the startling six
word sentence repeated by the fve-weeks-
old baby of John Shelby, a farmer living
two miles from this place. The little one
first made this declaration while being
given bath by the mother and at periodi-
cal intervals has kept up the refrain.
Hundreds of visitors have called at the
Shelby home and marvelled at the child.
Many Of them have left believing the lit
tie one is repeating a prediction direct
from God and misery will come to the
needless. Some have been so frightened
they have made arrangements for leaving
the state, fully persuaded that a long
period of drouth Is certainty.
Previous to the startling sentence the
baby had not uttered a sound. 1t ex-
