A MEMORABLE MUSKET.

Dr. Paul Skiff Possesses One Nearly
 Three Hundred Years Old
 Dr. Paul Skiff of 666 Chapel street has in his possession an old flint lock mus ket which has been in the Skiff family for many years, in fact since 1883. It has seen much use but is still in ex- Cellent condition. One thing which makes this gun valuable and valued as a memento of the past is that it has been fired every Fourth of July day since the time of the commencement of the war for independence. It was fired yesterday by Dr. Skiff and made a very loud report. It is of the old fashioned kind, having been brought to this coun- try from England as 9 muzzle loader. It has been used many times in the hunt for Indians, wild deer, bears and other animals and has always done good service.

Phinney and His Band.

Phinney and his band will be at
Alameda Park June 27 and 2S, after
noon and evening.
The reputation of Phinney and his
band became national during his six
months engagement at Worlds Col
umbia Exposition, when millions of
people, representing every country,
listened to his superb concerts.
Since that time the band has played
at nearly every large exposition, nation
al and political convention and celebra-
tion. They have given over five thous-
and concerts and travelled more than
one hundred and eightyfive thousand
miles.
One secret OF the excellence OF
Phinney's band lies in the fact that
every member is an artist, many OF
whom are capable of executing intricate
solos, and each member fully under
stands what is expected of them by
their leader in every point of phrasing
and tone.
