| in this country and due to difference
| in Instrumentation. Its tonal climax
es are inspiring in their intensity. yet
| at no time are they Extensively
loud or blatant. MellownesS is char
acteristic of the tone of every instru-
mcnt. and the fourteen soloists in the
band make possible Il wide variety o.
musical numbers. No other band
travelling in America has half so many
soloists as Sorrentino.
The programs for the concerts con
tain plenty of music that is familiar.
but much that is new. Sorrcntino
has the earnest purpose of every man
in his band and the programs are in
terpreted with the spirit and enthusi-
asm of musicians who bring good will
TO the aid of talent. The Banda
Rosa plays with all the beauty and
finish of an orchestra. Sorrentino
has wonderful appreciation OF
dynamics and musical effects and he
refuses TO use the arrangements and
instruments common in most bands.
Comets Tabooed
Comets are tabooed in his band, as
are also slide trombones, and in their
place Sorrentino puts reeds and valve
instruments trumpets, clarinets,
valve lrombones, etc.-thereby in
creasing the purity of tone. The
members of the band wear red tun-
les and present a picturesque appear
ance when upon the stage.
Sorrentino is not given to personal
display. and although he has hand
some collection of medals, he seldom
wears them. He will show them with
pleasure when asked, but not other
wise. Their history is in reality the
history of Sorrentino as a bandmas-
ter. The story of how he was called
to the conductorship of the Banda
Rossa in the little town of San Severe,
his birthplace, and how he was sup
ported by the municipal government
of San Severe early in his enterprise
is familiar to many music lovers.
That was 16 years ago, when Soren-
tino was just of age, and had just
come from the conservatory ut Ma
pies.
But it was not until after the band
had been under SCREENINGS direction
for several years that it gained es-
pecial distinction. In 1892 it was de
cided by Sorrentino and his hackers
that il was high time for the band
of which they were so proud to sally
forth for conquest. The Columbian
exposition at Genoa. i'm celebration of
the sailing of Christopher Columbus
for America. had hung up some very
rich and attractive prizes for military
bands, and 65 from all parts of Eu-
rope entered the contest. Among
them, and unknown, was the Banda
Rossa. Sorrentino played Massenet's
suite, Scenes Pittoresques," and won
the gold medal.

ceptiOnal excellence, "A Ruined Life,
comes to the Illinois tonight. The
play is by L. Laurence Lee, for many
years n producer of drama, and this
latest work promises to prove far
more successful than any of his pre-
vious efforts. Since its initial per-
Torrance it has been acclaimed by
press and public alike as Il strong
and virile play. 1t possesses every
element of success. having an unusual
plot, stirring situations and uncon-
ventional dramatic scenes relieved by

Effie Shannon. who will appear to
morrow evening in William Gillette's
dramatization of Sir \. Conan Doyle's
famous series of detective stories I'M
der the title of Sherlock Holmes" in
which play they both have congenial
parts. As this great play is in the
very height of its career, ii would not
he amiss to give a little insight into
miracle of dramatic construction.
1t is ingenious, cunning and abound
ing in neat strokes devised from start
to finish to keep it's audience rapt and
startled into surprises. These devices
always succeed. for the dramatist.
William Gillette, is as clever as Conan

transferring Doyle's fragmentary. al

ed the latter's talent for acting
which has been in the family for
many generations before him. 1t is
very gratifying to Thomas the way
his efforts are being received. His
success on the stage is not to be won
dered at. as he has had every advan-
tage from childhood up. When very
small he played many parts with his

to the footlights again. and with the

THE GIRLS OF kAsAMlR.
why They Are Not a. beautiful a.
They once Were.

The girls OF Kashmir ln former times
were sold ana carried away to che
Punjab, I'm Indldi They commanded q
large price, and parents in moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been in the habit of parting with their
daughters to place themselves In easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing TO escape
from a life Of penury and labor to one
of opulence and ease
A laboring man In this part OF India
cannot earn over 81 or - month.
while many receive for their daughters
as high as 81 600. There are some cases
where $1,000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from 500 TO $500.
The practice became so common as
well as so damaging that a severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun-
try, but II is said that the business
goes on now as 1t has done for hun
dreds Of years. and TO that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men of Kashmir are not as beautiful
as they once were.
The process Of taking all the beautl-
full girls away, leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones TO continue the
race. has lowered the standard OF beau
~. Most Of the women and girls per
form field labor as much as the men,
and their dress Is Of the coarsest and
plainest materials, consisting of gar
ment like . nightgown made Of white
cotton. There is no effort TO have 1t fit.
The condition of women In Kashmir
is very sad one, but one from which
there does not seem to be any present
escape. IL Is constant struggle TO
live, without the least hope Of any ac-
emulation or Of ever seeing better
days.
The men only receive about cents
day and the women generally about 3
cents. and that will provide only the
coarsest food.-Philadelphla Inquirer.

Useful Purposes of RosIn.

There are many useful purposes to
which rosin can be applied outside of
those Of general practice. AS non
conductor of heat 1t is used in the pro-
lection of water pipes, particularly in
crossing bridges, where the pipe is laid
In the middle Of long box and the
whole filled with melted rosin. Rosin
is also used in supporting basement
floors in machine shops, which may be
laid over some dry material. as spent
molding sand, which is carefully lev
eled of, and the planking laid upon
temporary supports separating 1t about
two inches above the sand.
Numerous holes about two inches In
diameter being bored through these
planks, melted rosin is forced through
them by means of tunnels until the
whole space is solidly filed, and then
the upper flooring is laid upon these
planks. In case the floor is subjected
TO shocks sufficient to break the rosin

WHAT WISDOM DENIED US.
The Most Fatal GIFT That Could ne
Conferred on Mankind.

Conferred ON Mankind.
Granted the power to do it, which
would be the most fatal gift that could
be conferred ON mankind?
Omnlpotence without omnisclence.
An omnipotent man, with the best OF
intentions toward his kind, could cas-
fly wreck the universe and probably
would, since, unless he knew every
thing, he would infallibly make some
mistake which could not fail TO have
very terrible consequences. Next to
this would be the power OF foreseeing
events. This would eliminate the great
est factor in human happiness, because
the man who could foresee everything
would have no hope He would not
only know his own fate, but that OF all
other human beings and also all their
feelings and intentions, which, of itself
alone, would make society impossible.
Equally terrible would be the power
Of prolonging life at will, since no man
or woman would willingly die so long
MS life remained even tolerable. This
is proved by the shocking conditions
under which people now consent to
live. The race would probably con-
tinue to multiply indefinitely until all
the habitable portions Of the globe be-
came overcrowded. Then would com
mence a struggle for existence which
no human imagination could portray.
War would be an impossibility, since
no man could kill another who did not
wish to die. and humanity would reach
some inconceivable climax OF misery
from which nothing but the interven-
ton Of a higher power could possibly
release it--Pearsons Weekly,

A MILLION PENSIONS.
The Pension Rolls Now Lack But
Few 70 Reach That Mark.

Washington, Aug. Son the 3lst
of July there were 999 446 pension
ers on the rolls That was the high
watermark in pensions. The number
has been reached by a gradual growth
and the best informed men about
the pension Office believe that II will
not be exceeded, although the last
congress was unprecedented In its
liberality in pension legislation.
This is for the reason that the
death rate among pensioners Is
very great. The last congress pass
ed 100 special pension bills and
passed two acts which, within twelve
months. Il IS believed, will add 10,-
600 pensioners to the rolls. one of
these acts is 10 pension the surviv-
.ofs OF the Indian wars, and the other
is TO pension those veterans who
served in TIE Confederate service
prior to their entrance into the
Union army
It is believed by some Of those at
the pension Office, that the liberality
of congress toward pensioners has
done much toward lessening the at
tacks on the pension Office, which
were formerly Of such common oc-
currence.
It is this congressional act that
has increased the number Of pen.
sioners from 999, ,ii6 at the end Of the
last fiscal year, although this period
was one in which the death rate
among aged pensioners was very
gradual From 991,5l9 in 1899, the
number increased to 997.735 in 1901
and to 999.446 in 1902.
