THE THURSDAY MUSICALE PROGRAM

A more satisfactory program, all things
considered, has never been given by the
Ladies Thursday Musicale at any Of its
open meetings than that presented at the,
First Baptist church last evening. OF
course, not all Of its star members could
appear on such a program, but those Wilo
did suff1ced to give hint OF the, good
things the musicale is constantly enjoy
ing. Such an organization Is OF ines
Unable value to the community In which
it exists. Mrs. George e. Kicker, as its
president is a fit leader Of the organiza-
ton, and much Of its present success and
flourishing condition is due to. her execu-
tive ability and tactful graciousness.
Miss Gertrude San Souci commenced
the evening with double organ number,
which was greatly enjoyed. They We're
both played with Miss Sans Souci's accus-
toned finish and admirable Interpretation.
Mrs. Hazel Kirke McLaskey sang arias
from Puccini's La Boheme" and Mas
cagni's 'Cavalleria Rusticana." Mrs. Nc
| Laskey, while not in the best voice. sang
with ease and spirit. Singing in Italian
detracted somewhat from the enjoyment
of the numbers, and the disconnected
arias were thus less pleasing than they
| would have been in their proper setting.
The singers voice is warm and full Of
color, of good lower register, and while Of
high range, was especially good in the
mezzo qualities. ..ss4ss
Owing to the illness sof Mrs. Alice
Bagley Milford, the violin part in the
| organ, harp and violin arrangement of
the Bach ounod ave Maria" was taken
by Miss Mabel Augustine. The number
was very charming and was well played.
Mrs. Parthenia Dewitt, contralto, sang
two of Cigars songs, including Where
| the Corals Lie Mrs. Dewitt sang with
remarkably good enunciation, and her
voice seemed admirably suited to the Sc
| lections, the second being especially ef-
| fective.
! The piano duet, Saint Saens' "Varia-
| lions on Theme from Beethoven" while
! married by a slight accident, was really
| the best thing of the evening. 1t was
played by Miss Jean p. Wakeman and
Miss Blanche Strong with exquisite feel
| ing and artistic finish and with unusual
unanimity.
Miss Augustine played as a solo violin
| number Wieniawskis 81 Romance sans
Paroles ct Rondo,' and displayed I'M
| usual musical gifts. Her technical work
| was quite good for SO young a player.
Miss Alberta Fisher sang with her ac-
! customed finish two songs by Spicer and
Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, both very charming
| ballads, and each being given intelligent
| Interpretation and treatment. Miss Fisher
has rarely sung better. MRS Maud Orr
Nelson played the difficult List tran
scription of Mendelssohns Midsummer
| Nights Dream with technical skill
The program closed with Hildach's
| Passage Bird Farewell sung by Misses
Frances Vincent and Tenie Murphy The
voices harmonized we'll and the song was
rewarded by an insistente encore, the only
one responded to during the evening, altho
all Of the participants were literally APP
plauded. Howard Boardman.

CLUB GIRLS TO PROPOSE
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN FOR HUS-
BANDS STARTED BY A NEW
SOCIETY AT DUBUQUE.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Dubuque. Iowa, Jan. 20.-The Leap
Year club is the latest women's organ
ization formed in, Dubuque. Each
member is bound under oath to pro-
pose marriage to the youth of her
choice before Jan. 1, 1905. The first
girl TO announce her engagement is to
be feted by every other member of
the club, and the last girl to secure
a man is pledged to entertain all of
the other members.
In the case of a member who, fails to
secure a lover before the first of the
year, the unlucky girl will not only
be forced to pay for a dinner for her
more fortunate sisters, but will also be
expelled from the club.
There is similar scheme of reward
and punishment for the young men of
the city. The acknowledged lover of
any member will be welcomed and will
be remembered in all their social
plans. AS each man accepts an offer
of heart and hand he will be ban
quoted by the members. But for the
reckless young man who scorns an Of
fer of marriage there is a horrible
fate. Every member of the club will
refuse to recognize him on the street
and decline all invitations from him.

FRANCE HAS NEW
 LIGHTNING FLYER
AZURE COAST LIMITED RUNS 700 MILES AND HAS AN AVERAGE SPEED OF SIXTY MILES AN HOUR.

Chicago, November 6.-(special.)-A dis patch to the Daily News says:
 Among the representatives of the press invited to make the first trip on the new lightning flyer between Paris and the Riviera yesterday was The Daily News correspondent. The trip of 700 niles was made in thirteen and a half hours. During parts of the journey the train made a speed of more than ninety miles an hour until the officials on board sent word to slacken up. Eighty news paper men were guests of the company, which treated them after their arrival here by a theatre and supper party.
 M. Noblemaire, director of the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean railway, told The Daily News correspondent that the idea of the new train, which makes the trip to the south of France at last com fortable, was due to the following re- marks madc by W. K Vanderbilt: There isn't train in al, France equal to the Twentieth Century Flyer between Chicago and New York" Noblemaire boasts that the French have now got that beat soundly.
 At the stations both by light and day crowds were collected to see the train pass. The stations were decorated with flags, zengal lights were burning and there were the other usual symbols of welcome for the Azure Coast Limited" as the train is called. The new service means added prosperity for southern France Including stops it has an aver age speed or nearly sixty miles an hour.

STRONG COTTON GOODS TRADE.
Cloth In Manchester Is In Strong and
 Active Demand.

Manchester, November 6.-The tone of the cotton goods market last week was strong and cloth was in active de mand. There was a satisfactory and well-distributed turnover, despite the difficulties of delivery and advanced quotations. There were number of Indian offers, and the general trend of India buying was healthy. Standard India cloths are sold up to May in some quarters, and March delivery Is difficult to secure, except on the less known makes. China is buying on a smaller scale than recently, owing to makers long arrangements. South America and minor eastern outlets have contracted for standard articles to secure supplies for 1905.
 All kinds of goods for shipment are well sold. Yarns are in general in- quiry for most descriptions of Ameri- cans, and spinnings are in good de- mand, several important lines having been negotiated in advance.

Nn channe In Indiana.

Indianapolis, Ind, November 6-There is no perceptible change in the political situation in Indiana since Saturday night. The leaders of both parties appear confi- dent that their work has been brought to a successful conclusion. The final checking of poll books was the only sign of activity at the state headquar- CTS of either party.
 The vice presidential candidacy Of Sen ator Fairbanks, the co-incident candidacy for reelection of Senator Albert J. Bev- eridge. and the possibility of the election of the republican national ticket has in- iected into the political situation in this state a peculiar and unusual contingency. The possible necessity for the election of two United States senators has been the incentive for the democratic state com mittee to concentrate its efforts upon the legislative ticket.
 Many prominent democrats believe their marty will make serious inroads upon re- publican strength in the legislative dis tricts. On the other hand republican party leaders are confident that the re- publicans will have increased representa- tion in the legislature. Today 1t appears that Indiana is republican by safe ma jority. It $ the consensus of opinion that John W. Kern, the democratic can didate for governor will run considerably ahead of the national ticket. or converse.

Situation In West Virginia.

Wheeling, W. Va, November 6.-There are few developments in the election situ- ation since Saturday night. Committees man John McGraw and State Chairman Mckinney of the democratic organization are here tonight and both express the greatest confidence In the outcome oi Tuesdays struggle.
 The democrats claim they will elect S w. Walker in the second and Allen C. Murdock in the fourth congressional dis tricts with good fighting chances for Da- venport fin the third and Altizer in the fifth. Dovenor, republican, is expected to win over Barnes, democrat, in the Wheel ing district, the normal republican ma jority being between 40o0 and 5000. The democrats are making a great effort to capture the legislature and the republican reform disaffection is aiding them mate rially.

 The democrats, while conceding that President Roosevelt will carry the state, claim that William L. Douglas, demo- cratic candidate for governor will be elected, and that they vii secure five or the fourteen congressman.
 The republicans say that Roosevelt will receive a plurality of from 6o,OOO to 75,00O, and that Governor Bates will be elected, although running somewhat behind the national ticket, and that they will elect twelve out of the fourteen congressman.

Prediction in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Pa, November 6.-The work of the campaign having closed last night, the headquarters of the various political parties were deserted today. About the only interest in the national and state ticket fin Pennsylvania Is the size of the republican plurality The re- publican state chairman, Penrose, pre- diets plurality of from 3Oo,000 to S25,0O0 for the national ticket, and the same vote for John P. Elkln, the republican nomi- nee for supreme court justice. MT. El- kins democratic opponent Is Samuel G. Thompson, who holds the place by ap- pointment. The democratic managers have no estimates beyond saying that the republican prediction is too high.
 The democrats have made a determined fight In eight of thirty-two congressional districts of the state and hope to increase their present membership of the national house. The republicans claim the repub- lican delegation will remain the same.
 The legislature will remain overwhel- mingly republican. At present there is no indication of opposition in the republican ranks to the election to the senate in January of Philander c. Knox, who suc- ceeds the late Senator Quay by appoint ment.
