Those who have charge. of the local ar
New Orleans very properly want music,
and call for twenty bands. The bands of the
city all belong to union, and some of them
are composed of cOlored people. To supply
the twenty bands called for makes II neces-

that unless they accept the negro bands
along with the white they can march with

Misrepresentation in the title market seems
to be waning. like overspeculation in Wall

useful object lesson, like the Morgan undi-
gested securities. The press, the public and
the brothers of the Pittsburg bride showed
q tendency to examine the real nature of
the aristocratic stock disposed of in the
American market. The general decision was
that the earl was listed too high. He might
be worth something, but he was not worth
the price for which he was offered, a pretty
American girl with a generous income of her
own. The title was good, the prospects for a
still higher title were excellent, but the
other part of the property, the bridegroom
himself. was put down by examiners at a
low figure. STILL IL she conducts her invest
ment with executive skill, Miss Thaw may
come out with a balance on the right side OF
the ledger. All she needs to do is to reor-

in July, when Mcbride. in consultation with
