A Great Musical Event.

There can be no question but what the
greatest musical event this town has
ever known will be the concert here,
March II by the famous Boston Ladies'
Symphony Orchestra. No similar musl-
cal organization has ever appeared here.
aud but for the concerted action of our
leading citizens, those who love good
vocal and instrumental music would
have been deprived of the great treat in
store to be furnished by unquestionably
the best organization of women players
| in the world.
The orchestra is composed of twenty
three artists, including one vocal and
four instrumental soloists and is under
the leadership of Frank Mckee, former.
ly soloist with Souse. In spite of the
fact that this will be the seventh annual
tour of the Boston Ladies Symphony
Orchestra it has never come as far east,
but this season it will play eighteen con-
certs in this state, and all of them in the
courses furnished by the White Enter
tainment Bureau of Boston, through its
agent, E. w. Rev.
The fame of this Ladies Orchestra is
known to most lovers of music through
out America. Its personnel has remain
ed practically unchanged since its first
tour, so that the ensemble work is well
nigh perfect. The players are attr, C.
tiv4 yannu uonlpn Ura1uatpG Of tho bia
conserVatories, and the soloists are re-
cognized stars in the world of music.
Mr.. George Taylor, the tenor soloist
with the orchestra, made his debut as
singer in Steinway hall, London, and
sang at many of the important festivals
in England before coming TO this coun
try. He has a singularly sweet ard pure
tenor of great compass. Mabel Beaman
Mckee, the violin soloist, besides bong
a superb artist is an exceedingly beauti.
full woman with a charming personality.
! The other soloists are E. Ralphena Par
sons, trombone, Caroline q. Kimberly,
flute and piccolo, and Adeline Nj. Meek,
coraetist, all players of marked ability.
The program embraces all STYLES of
music, from rag-time to the final from
! Italioh Symphony by Mendelssohn
! The appearance of the Orchestra on the
stage is always signal for . storm of
applause as all the artists are exquisite
! ly gowned in evening dress of white sa-
! tins or silks, with DAINTY little touches
of color here and there, so that both the
eye and ear are charmed at the same
| time.
I Those who do not hold course tickets
will be wise if they purchase tickets for
the Boston Ladies Symphony concert at
the first opportunity, for rain or shine,
seats unsold on the night of the concert
will be too few to be seen with the naked
eye.
Seats will be on sale at sampson 5
drug store, Friday morning, Mar. 9Th.

Mr.. Foraker, in reply, arraigned Mr.
Hoar's position, saying he knew there
would be trouble when the Democrats
agreed to vote as a unit on every mat
ter except when that vote interefered
with individual conscience.

Continuing, Mr.. Foraker said that he
did not know who would be the Dem
ocratic spokesman, but suggested, since
Mr.. Tillman yesterday displayed his
rare knowledge of all matters scriptu-
raj. that he would be the one.
Mr.. Foraker said he had felt no great
surprise when the attack upon the
President had been made on the DEM
ocratic side Of the chamber. but that
he had been shocked when the sem
ator from Massachusetts made the
character of speech he did. Mr.. Fora
ker expressed the opinion the speech
should have been made in executive
session.
TiIIman Referred to White House.
Mr.. Tillman gained the floor to ask
Senator Foraker If he had any knowl-
edge Of the mobilizing of 5000 soldiers
to march upon Bogota and whether in
formation of this character did not
come from the White House.
Mr.. Foraker said that nothing had
been given him on that subject, and

BERLIN MACHINE WORKS CASE.
Sent Back to the Lower Court BY
the Court of Appeals.

the Court of Appeals.
Brunswick, Ca, Dec. 1.-THE United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, at
New Orleans, has reversed the decision
of Judge Speer, affirming the decision
of former Referee A. ]. Crovatt, of
this city, in the case of the Berlin
Machine Works VS.. the Hilton & Dodge
Lumber Company, ct. al.
The case arose out of a petition
filed by the Berlin Machine Works
in the bankruptcy proceedings of the
Brunswick Sash and Door Company,
wherein the Berlin Machine Works,
through their attorney Max Isaac,
sought to recover certain valuable MA
chinery that had been purchased by
the sash and door company from the
Berlin Machine Works on conditional
contract of sale. The referee, Judge
A. J. Crovatt, sustained the petition
of Attorney Isaac and directed the
trustee to deliver the property to the
machine works. To this decision the
Hilton & Dodge Lumber Company
and other creditors of the Bruns-
wick Sash and Door Company, the
bankrupts, took exceptions and appeal
ed to Judge Speer, who, after hear
ing the case reversed the ruling of
the referee and found in favor of the
obiecting creditors. On Monday, as
stated. this court reversed Judge Speer,
sustaining the referee, and ordered the
case remanded to the lower court with
instruction to carry out the order OF
the referee therein.

advantageous to the steel corporation
and the desire being to resell it to
owners, favorable to the steel COM
pany. though no special purchaser was
lin view at this time. Mr.. Steele,
though a director of the steel corpora
tion, professed himself ignorant of the
competitive or non-competitive status
of the Bethlehem and Carnegie arnor
plate plants, the latter of which was
owned by the steel syndicate.
Mr.. Untermyer asked what reason
there was that Mr.. Schwab, owning
no Bethlehem stock at the time, should
receive $30,000000 in shipbuilding bonds
and stocks at the time of it's sale, to
which Mr.. Steele replied that it was
in consideration of the risk Mr.. Schwab
assumed in making the contract for
the purchase of Bethlehem stock.
which was Immediately assigned to
Morgan & Co. Mr.. Schwab had not
told him that these securities would
give him a control of the shipbuilding
company.
Charles Alexander, of Alexander &
Green, the law firm concerned in the
promotion of the shipbuilding COM
pany, refused to answer questions
about the organization of the ship
building company on the ground that
he had no such knowledge as would
form testimony.

the purchase and sale of the Bethle-
hem plant by J. P. Morgan & Co.

REFORM ELEMENT
STRIKES AT SALOONS.
Changes Are Advocated for Those
in Macon.

Changes Are Advocated for Those
in Macon.
Macon, Dec. 17.-Representing the re-
form movement now theoretically
working here, attorneys acting pro-
fessionally, divines and laymen appear
ed before the Ordinance Committee
of the Board of Aldermen tonight,
urging change in the laws controlling
the liquor traffic in Macon.
Several days ago a petition, numer-
ously signed, in which saloon hours
were sought to be materially reduced
and other radical changes are enumer-
ated, was handed to Mayor Smith.
The paper went to the Ordinance Com
mittee and the petitioners were ad-
Vlsed that it was that section of the
local Legislature with which they
would have to deal.
When the committee convened to-
night Col Estes presented the views
of the petitioners, declaring at the
outset that prohibition was the object
of the movement. He asserted that
the liquor traffic in Macon was too
wide open and was conducted under
too few restraints. He wanted the
trade more guarded, and declared that
the hours were too long open at
8 O'Clock in the morning." said Col.
Estes land close at 10 would be de-
cldedly better; better both for the man
who sells and the man who buys"
The attorney indicated plainly the
changes wanted by the reformers.
Those changes as presented do away
with all screens, curtains, shades and
blinds. No lunch counters are ad-
visa1ble. In fact, lunch counters near
beer and whisky are as bad and ruin
Gus as barrooms themselves. A res
taurant should not be allowed on the
same floor with a saloon. These were
the decidedly pronounced points sought
by the reformers.
DR.. White, pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church in supporting Col. Estes,
exhibited great roll of names asking
for the changes, and in describing that
list (the names were not read), DR..
White said:
Every one of these names represents
a voter. The list is not confined to
the Baptist Church, to the Methodist
Church or to any church. On it are
all chuches, and on it are no church
men. On it are members of St. JOS
eph's Church, one of the political
powers in the city, and 1 desire to say
