bravery as a soldier and my sincerity as
a politician, and waited upon him in the
usual way. He received me as one gentle
man receives another. and we proceeded to
the field of honah with linked arms. 1t

leg and made him a cripple for life:
mo less than three other affairs follow

strictly according to code. That is a thing
to the very letter. Some of my oppo-

nomination, selected ax-handles as wea-

CREATORE'S BAND.
Save an Excellent concsrt Before q Large
and BsIIghtod udIsRce In infantry Rail,

That most remarkable band leader. Gre
atore, and his famous concert organiza-
tion. gave a concert at Infantry hall last
night that war enjoyed 10 the limit by
the large and discriminating audience.
The band is the same which WAS the sen
sstion of the New York season solely
through the masterful leadership Of that
unique genius Creatore.
Description and even pictures can give
but n Joint idca OF the utter abandonment
OF this man TO the spirit OF the music and
by his masnetism and perronality hs
fairly drags the band with him trough
the various selections all following his
lead with n readiness and thoroughness
that Is rarely II ever seen.
In their very best form last night. they
rendered the program which Included
some OF the moot famous numbers IN their
repertoire IN n mnnner thnt evoked the
heartiest enthusiasm OF their hearers.
The following was the order In which
the seleotions were given:
March, columbus" Creatore: overture.
William Tell" Rossini Sextet from
Lucia" Dohizett. sisnorl DE Girolamo.
Aisla Croce. Luciano, Iaisco and Guart-
nj; gan cfrertorio. BatiGte; suite, Peer
Gynt.' Gr!cg. soprano solo-waits Par
Ia" Ardlti; grand selection. Carmen" ="
Bizet
During some of the pieces in which
there are many changes IN tempo and
movement the ricturesqGc methods OF
this leader were seen al their best, as he
Indicated the time not only with his bat
on but bO:h arms head ard shoulders and
In fact HIS whole body carried the swing
and sp!ri, or the grand composition from
which the band received their Inspiration

softcst passage or the gra a1dest climax.
The lyr.c soprano Nine. Barili rendered
her solo with great skill and d!splayed
her remarkable voice 10 Its best scvaE-
tage
The hearty reception which each NUM-
Der on the program received noorly dov-
bled the length Of the concert and IL was
a musical treat. such 81 seldom the pr!vi-
lege OF Providence people 20 enjoy. Two
concerts are 10 be given by the band to-
day.

WAS ALL A FARCE.

President Conroy OF the Textile Council,
on being told OF the state board report
said: ~ IL had been otherwise I would
have been surprised. The boards report
Is exactly what supposed II would be.
said from the first that the hearings were
farce and / think that belief was gen
eral, not only with members OF the Tex
tile Council, but with ell who attended
tho hearing or who read the reports OF
them. The agents answered only such
questions as they cared to and the board
made no efforts to have the agents an
swer such questions as would strengthen
our position. The abrupt ending of the
investigation and everything else connect
ell with Il was A case az lzIie, and was
tired Of Il after the FIRST day"
Agents OF the mills who were interview
cd said that the mills will not open Mon
day and that conditions are not changed
In the least by the report.
The news OF the unfavorable report, so
far as the striking operatives are con-
| cerned. or the state board has not caused
/ much disappointment to the strikers.
Judging from comments freely made to-
night. It seemed to he the general belief
/ that the finding was as expected Labor
men say that they will pay no attention
! 20 it. Whatever moral influence the ind
/ ing may have on the public mind. IL does
\ not seem likely that the agents will make
any change In the situation. Judging from
what thov said when interviewed tonight.
The agents OF the Elk mills that are
! shut down say positively that their gates
will not open Monday.
Agent Nourse of the Lawrence. whose
