THE CONCERT ORCHESTRA
The Cosgroye People Gave a Popular
concert AT Opera House on
Tuesday Evening

The stormy night prevented a very
large crowd from assembling at the
opera house Tuesday evening to hear
the concert given by the Cosgrove
Concert Orchestra. Those who were
not there missed a most excellent
musical entertainment. The or
ehestra plays some very satisfactory
Music and renders it in such a man
ner as to make 1T more than ENJOY
able. The orchestra is composed OIL
artists in every sense. The march
es, overtures and special pieces were
played with a vim and fine distinc-
ton that vas greatly appreciated.
The musical specialties were fine.
The cathedral chimes was a novelty
very much enjoyed and the per-
formers were called back time and
again. Miss Hazel Kirk Strayer. the
soprano, was very heartily received.
and her singing received the ap-
piause that 1t mefited. Her voice is
a pure, resonant soprano and she
uses 1t ~cleverly. Miss May Hudson,
abe violinist, is a lady OF fine ability
and she fully demonstrated her
powers with the violin. Rather &C.
centric in her playing, perhaps. but
she artistic playing is not absent.
She produces a beautiful tone and
her numbers in each instance were
encored. Mr.. Hayener played a
sornet solo and Mr.. Rudd rendered
a clarinet solo, both Of which were
ef Il high character. Mr.. Settler
caught the popular fancy With his
zviophone solo.
After the concert the orchestra was
Engaged to furnish the music for a
ahr@ilg party given in the Mitchell
Cub ro0:ns under the auspices OF the
Bachelor club. There was a very
large crowd present. and the dancing
Was kept up until 30 O'Clock, it De-
Eng about II O'Clock when the first

Sery enjoyable indeed and the time

WON THE ODD GAME
Mitchell and Alexandria Bowled for
Honors In Their Series of
Contests.

For several weeks past Mitchell and
Alexandria bowlers have been in the
thrOes Of a series of contests that
has worked up considerable excite
ment among the lovers Of the sport.
Two contests have been held previous
to the n of Wednesday evening.
Mitchell won the first by 43 pins, ano
they figured they had the second con-
test easily won. When the Mitchell
team went to Alexandria last week
to play the second contest they found
that there was some difference IN
bowling on a strange alley, and as a
result the Alexandria team won by
a score of 1913 pins. The third of
the series was bowled in this city
Wednesday evening. II the Alexan-
dria boys had any idea OF winning it
was soon dissipated after the first
round was bowled. There was a
pretty good crowd present to watch
the bowling, but in neither case did
the individual scores reach more than
an ordinary ones. The boys who
bowled for Mitchell, and we presume
it is the same with Alexandria, can
BOWL a game under ordinary circum-
stances and make from SO to Is more
pins. Getting into a contest seems
to make a big difference in bowling.
Following is the score for the rounds:

Alexandria.

The figures show that Mitchell won
the contest by 243 pins, and the
victory ought to be highly satisfac-
tory to our boys. Branson aggregated
the highest number Of pins in the
three games, and held the highest
individual score until toward the
close of the contest, when Stenwald
bowled the highest score of the even
ing by knocking down 1919 pins in the
last game. The Alexandra boys
TOOK their defeat good naturally.
They returned home this morning
well pleased with their trip.

Under the scheme of reorganization
the general staff will be divided into
sections. all having q chief of their
own, with all under the control of the
secretary of the navy through a chief
of staff, who will be the senior rank
ing line officer on duty at the navy de-
partment and will also exercise SUPER
vision over all matters relating to the
military side of the navy. Next in com
mand to the chief of staff will be an
officer ranking rear admiral who
will have charge of the first section,
or the division of the fleet. and will ex-
ercise the functions of the chief of staff
in the latter's absence. The direction
of the work of all the branches of the
general staff win be in the hands of an
executive committee consisting of the
chief of staff and the chiefs of sections.

time TO time prescribed by the presi-
dent The terms of this section may
indeed be considered sweeping. Under
them in time of peace the general staff
will make rigid investigation of all
branches of the service, will gather
data regarding the military resources
of the powers. will plan ina ginary
campaigns and will study the climate,
topography, etc. of foreign countries
SO that, should occasion arise, the head
of the army will find available all the
information necessary to the conduct
of campaign abroad. The theory on
which the general staff will work is
that preparedness for war is the best
guarantee of peace, and that the pow
ers, knowing that we have taken steps
to put the study of military defense on
a scientific basis. will be restrained
from any hasty action.
That the chief of staff will be an ex-
eeedingly busy man is patent from the
fact that in addition TO exercising su-
pervision over all the troops of the line.

erals. judge advocates, quarter

gineers and the signal corps. he is ex-
pected to be ready to perform such
other military duties not otherwise as
signed by law as may be assigned to

phase of the section of the bill relating
to the chief of staf is that it gives him
immediate direction of the supply de-
partments which were formerly indie

DEATH RATE LOWER.
Babies Have Improved Chance fol
Life in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE death rate of
Chicago infants less than one year of
age has decreased SOL per cent since
1891. The death rate of persons of all
ages has decreased 1872 per cent in the
same twelve years.
These statements are made in the
weekly bulletin of the health depart
ment Speaking of the causes favora-
BILE to prevention of infant mortality,
the bulletin says:
AN improved milk supply, the anti
toxin treatment of diphtheria and other
causes often cited to account for the
decrease of infant mortality are equal
~ inadequate and the department is
disposed to attach more Importance to
the education of mothers in the hygiene
of the young. The efforts of women's
clubs and similar organizations in this
education have been steadily growing
during all this period of decreasing in
FAINT mortality, and it is believed this
is the principal factor in giving the
baby better chance for life
In 1891 there were S,208 deaths of in
fants less than one year old. In 1902
there were 5,144 infant deaths.
This change. the department shows,
