FASHIONS IN SONGS.
More Hits than Usual of Late Owing
to the Musical Shows.

There are more song hits on the mar
ket at present than there have been
in years" said music publisher the
other night. This is due to the num-
Der of musical shows which are appear
ing on Broadway. There is not firm
of prominence in the business that
hasn't one or more popular songs and
musical compositions in it's catalogue.
I'm former years most of the pub
fishers relied on the musical shows to
make their wares popular. With the
decline of this particular class of en-
tertainment their only hope lay with
the vaudeville performers. Some of
the topliners finally demanded so much
money to introduce q song that the
publishers rebelIed and trusted to luck
to make their ditties popular.
"Of course luck is a great factor al
ways in deciding a songs fate. But
you have to have singers to use the
songs, so that the public can hear them.
If you want them to go.
every few of the present musical
shows in town depend solely on the
original score to win approval. The ma
jority of the songs are interpolated.
The managers realize this and are al
ways on the lookout for something
novel.
'"Only the other day a local composer
received SLIGO advance royalty on a
song which is to be introduced in a
play to appear at a broadway thea

Admission to His Meetings Hereafter
Will Be by Ticket.

New York, Oct. 22.-Two hundred of
Inc followers of John Alexander Dowie
indicated that they were tired of the
work of reforming New York City and
wanted to return to Zion City, when the
general overseer" invited all who
wanted to give up the work and give
others a chance to take it up to step
| forward at the early meeting in Madi-
son Square Garden, Thursday.
DIR. Dowe at that meeting said he
should endeavor to convert the people.
He added that he had received many
bogus checks since coming to New
York but that others had been good.
There is no need for followers to
rush back to Zion,' said DR.. Dowie,
because of those suits by merchants
of Chicago. They are against me per-
sonally and not against Zion."
The general overseer told his people
that 80 persons in the boxes at Wednes-
day evenings meetings represented
$50, 600, 900 in wealth.
Turning his attention to kissing, DR..
Dowie said people should be careful of
their kisses and use them carefully even
in the family. why, my son, Glad
stone never kissed a woman outside the
family" he said.
At the forenoon meeting, Dr. Dowic an
nounced that he would join his wife in
Adelaide. Australia in April. He spoke
moderately for while About 1000 of the
audience left the hall A group of young
men added to the disturbance by yelling
and pounding on the side doors of the
garden. DIR. Dowe closed the service
suddenly.
A great crowd filled Madison Square
Garden. tonight at the Dowie services
and a still greater crowd massed outside
the big building. Two hundred and fifty
police Were gathered there to preserve
order, but their services We're little re-
quired.
The subject of Dowic's address was
The Claims of Christ as Universal
King After his address he rccited a
number of lines of verse and spoke Il
prayer which his followers repeated af-
ter him a few words at a time.
Il Gesire to say that admission hcreaf

After that hour the public will be ad-
mitted if there are any vacant seats
There will be no charge for the tickets.
Here the audience arose and began to
leave and a brief benedicton was spoken
In spite of the announcement that Mrs
Dowie would start, today, for Boston. she
was still here, tonight and took part
with Nh Dowie in the meeting at Madi
son Square Garden. One of the Zion Off
Gals said that she would probably not
leave New York until Friday afternoon.

/ of the day. He is civil hydraulic en-
| gineer OF ~ years experience, who has
been connected as engineer with some
thing like 80 systems, mostly in New
| England. In Maine he has done work
! in Bar Harbor, Old Town and Brewer
and was associated with Mr.. Tidd at
| Caribou, Machias Pennington and
Calais. ..
Mr.. Coffin, like the other experts, was
well supplied with schedules to show
| the value of the system. Mr.. Coffin
mentioned one item of depreciation
which had been overlooked by the eX-
perts on the other side. He said that a
depreciation should be reckoned for the
| likelihood of abandonment or change
in operation. Mr.. Coffin's work COW
cred the same ground as Mr.. Wheeler's
and Mr.. Aliens did for the other side,
but the results We're noticeably differ
ent. Mr. Coffin made an estimate on
a filtering plant, which would be neces-
sary il the present source of supply
were continued and described the con-
struction of such a filter. The filter
would cover about 1-3 acres of land
and would be what is called a slow sand
filter. The lower layer of the filter
would consist of course gravel or brok-
en- rock and the various layers each
finer than the other, would be placed
on top of this, the top layer being fine
sand. The filter would consist of four
units to allow of cleaning one units
without shutting down the whole plant
1t is interesting to note that the filter
does not do its best work when perfect
ly clean, but that the slime which forms
on the top assists in the process of fill
tration.
The capacity of the filter would be
100000 gallons and the cost including
all extras, would be 100000
Passing from the question of filtering
his process of figuring brought him to
an estimate of not exceeding 1925 900, as
the value of the whole business.
Before resuming Mr.. Collins exami-
nation after the afternoon recess, H. p.
Cunning of Winslow, was put on the
stand to tell about the business of the
Ticonic Mineral Spring. Mr.. Dunning
recently sold this business but the
present owner is sick so Mr. Dunning
testified. Mr.. Dunning began the spring
water business in 1886, when he sold $16
worth of water and the business has in
creased each year so that there are
now some over 100 custmers taking
from 300 to $50 gallons per day, and it
requires one two-horse team all of the
time and another team part of the time
to make the deliveries.
After Mr. Dunning's testimony was
finished Mr.. Coffin again resumed the
stand and was Oss-eXamined until the
close of the days work, at 5 O'clock
Mr.. Baker trying to find flaws in his
system and figuring. The cross-exam-
inatior of Mr.. Coffin will be resumed to-
morrow morning.

hottest fires that has visited Tucson in years and even at the above late hour great crowds fiocked to the scene. Those nearby were slow in turning the alarm into the fire house so the department did not reach the scene for some litt.e time after the fire was first discovered. The fire is thought to have started in the store which has been selling a bankrupt stock for the past week. From here 1t spread in both directions. entering Miltenberg's bakery on the west, Ho- gan's tailor shop and the Dewey bar Der shop on the east. The fire was confined to the inside Of the buildings at first but when the windows were broken the blaze burst out furiously. Soon the roofs were ablaze and build ings on every side were in danger. The line of hose had been hastily laid and the chemical was brought into service. The heat was intense and yet the firemen held their ground and after two hours of fighting the fire was gotten under control. During the fiercest part of the fire the buildings on the opposite side Of the street were in constant danger of catching. The Legal Tender took fire three different times but was saved by the prompt work of the department Jacome & Manzo's store and the Weils-Fargo office were also on fire at different times. So intense was the heat that every window for oae-half block on the opposite side of the street was cracked.
 The firemen had some narrow es- capes during the fire. The heat melt ed the insulation off the electric wires overhead and they slipped down into the street Alex Rossi was severely shocked by stepping on one. The wires were promptly cut Several of the boys just escaped from under a ia ling board awning which the flames had released.
 Little was saved out of the build ings actually in the blaze. The esti- mated losses are as follows: Hogan, the tailor. $500; Coleman, the bar Der, s1GO0; Miltenberg bakery. $500; Legal Tender, S1.000; Jacome & Man 20, $500; and about $500 in plate glass by the several merchants. The win dows in most places were reduced to scales. The heated g'ass and cold water spattering on it caused this ef- feet Few of the merchants carried insurance on their stock. The gen. eral public seems to look upon the fire as a starter for the removal of the wedge. i-
