FINE IMPRoMPTu CONCERT.
trends OF Peter Roth Entertain Resi-.
dents Of His Neighborhood with a
Midnight Concert.

A number of friends of Peter Roth,
who went away and got married to a
charming lady several months ago
without letting his friends here know
home on Sixth street last night and
presented him with a testimonial of
their regard in the way of one of the
finest concerts that has ever been
heard by other residents of the same
street. who We're awakened on of their
well deserved rest by the booming of
a brass cannon, the awful discords
of a hastily improvised brass band.
and the clatter of tin pans, tin cans
and other music producing apparatus.
The concert vas opened with a blare
from the band, in which fifteen musi-
clans played each a different tune.
When this narrowing production had
been brought to a close through the
exhaustion of the musicians. there was
a presidential or some other salute
fired from the cannon which the am
bilious ~serenaders had dragged up
from the old city engine house. Then
the tin pan brigade rendered the Bird
al Chorus from L~ohengrin. until resi-
dents of the ne%ighborhood were lifted
out of their beds on the wings of mel
ody. In the meantime there we're
vigorous calls for Peter, and his
friends occupied their spare moments
by filling up the cellar areaways and
other vacancies roundabout with an
assorted collection of debris they had
gathered on their way to the house.
Peter finally made his appearance.
promised to celebrate the wedding
function with cigars and othe. ueces.
saries. and the party dispersed. after

The Trolly Line-Under the act Of
the legislature authorizing the trolly
line from the capitol to the N. P.
depot the board was authorized and
empowered to secure the necessary
right of way for such railway ver the
most convenient and feasible route"
The board caused surveys to be made
and have asked the council for fran
chise for Fourth street to Main and
east on Main to Washburn depot.
This route passes the executive man
ion the school house. the depots and
fortunately from a commercial stand
point is the best route that could be
selected to gather in the nickels,'
which is most important. If this line
is a success there will be no trouble
in obtaining further extensions at the
next session. but the route asked for
is the only one that the board will
ask for at this time as the a%ppropria-
ton will not warrant a loop" line and
tho route selected is considered the
most convenient and feasible" as re
Quired by the act empowering the
board to build the line. 1t is hoped
that there will be no delay in passing
the ordinance and chat the work will
be pushed to completion this fall. Act
ing on the request of the state board
and the requirements of the city char
ter consent of property owners on the
streets used has been obtained. The
ordinance desired by the state is be-
fore the council and it is believed with
a few slight changes will meet with
no objections.

Chicago, Sept. 15.Congressman J.

club. OF this city Saturday night, but
he carefully avoided committing him
self on national questions which are
likely to become issues in the next con-

showing the progress Of the world and
of the United States in the last century
and referring to the currency said:
sWe have more currency than any

we do ten times as much business as
France through our credit system. Our

Of this district on converting court here
this morning instructed the grand jury
to investigate the lynching of the
negro, wyatt, who came to his death
here some three r~nths since at the

THE TURK,

New York Evening Post: We shall
probably never know how many people
the Turks have killed in the Okhridi
district in the past month. Estimate:
varying from 10000 to $4,000 mean
nothing except that there has been
ruthless massacre, with what we are
pitifully obliged to call the usual"
outrages. Many villages have been
burned, the country laid waste and
more than hundred thousand help
less people have been driven out to
take the cruel chances of a Balkan
winter. The villayet of Monastir, and
particularly the mountains about the
lake of Okhrida have for generation
been the center of the revolutionary
movement. Doubtless the Turks re-
gard the present prescription as a nee
essary military movement; unquestion-
ably they had provocation from the
mountain bands. This leads well
meaning people to defend the Turks
But the horror of the situation lies not
SO much in the bloodshed of yester-
day and today as in the certainty that
such things must happen so long as
the Turk rules Christian population.
Relief lies only in the expulsion of the
Turk, and we should be greatly sur
prised if these last tales of rapine
should not incite Bulgaria to that
desperate but heroic work.
