MOONLIGHT PICNIC.

Miss Clifford Harroll gave a moon- light picnic at North Birmingham park last Monday night, which was most en- Joyabe affair. The oldfashioned games of tap" and base were induged In very freely by the most dignihed. after which a delightful supper was served from long table just above the spring. The table was laden with the most de- liclous and inviting delieacles, which. with fruit, a good supply of fresh spring water and jolly crowd, Is evidence enough of a pleasant evening. The party was chaperoned by MT. and Mrs. Arm strong.

Judge Parker-at Home.

From the Baltimore Herald
 Judge Parker has announced that he will stay at home during the cam paign. It was hardly necessary for the candidate to make this statement, for the country was confident he had no intention of appearing in public as a campaign speaker. In the case of MT. Mckinley the home campaign was quite effective. The great Ohio man received thousands in his front yard, and, though the grass was ruined. he had the satisfaction of talking to the electors as friends at home, and they heard good republican doctrine from one who understood the situation. The dignity of the office of President is such that the people are not pleased to see candidate make expensive tours all over the country arguing his own case. That has been done hui the effect was disastrous.
 Judge Parker can turn all the de- tails about the campaign, the orators etc, over to the national committee' and do wnat may be required of him

better from the front porch of his residence, on the Hudson, when he is called upon to talk, or in consultation with the leaders in private. Being a silent, conservative man, he cannot be led into making statements which the opposition can use on the stump. The audience In the front yard will be of the kind that win enjoy listening to good democratic talk, and there will be no need of brass bands, fireworks and whoops to warm up the orator These quiet, friendly talks from the front porch will probably be the most interesting deliverances during the campaign.

THE GUckENBERGERs
 IN BOSTON.


 The accomplished musicians. MT. and Mrs. Benjamin Guckenberger, formerly of Birmingham, but now of Boston, are ranking among the foremost artists at the Hub A Boston paper of recent date contains a most f1attering account of Mrs. Guekenbergers singing and MT. Guckenbergers piano playing at a classic recital
 MT Guekenberger contributes occasion ally to the Boston press. and the follow ing from his pen will be read by musi- clans and music lovers here with much interest:
 One of the greatest events in the musical annals of Boston will be the con- cert of the Boston Symphony orchestra tomorrow CTuesday) evening. No less a prson than pr. Richard Strauss, univer- sally acknowledged the greatest living composer and one of the best of con- ductors, will direct the entire programme.
 Tt was the writer's special good for tune to be invited by Dr Strauss to at tend the rehearsal which he held with the orchestra on Sunday morning. To go into details regarding all the wonderful surprises brought about by Dr. Strauss in the interpretation of his own works can be of no service to the community at this time. These things must be heard at the concert tomorrow evening.
 We can, however, assure the musicians and music lovers of Boston of the fact that such musical triumph awaits them as has perhaps never taken place In Bos- tone career-long, honorable and dlstin- guished as 1t has been In the past. There was a zest. inspiration and intensity of devotion manifested on the part of the players which quickly communicated it. self to the great director and composer. No wonder that the effects aimed at came about as if by magic It was the divine spark illumined through the genius of Strauss and transmitted to his faithful of the orcnestra. Such intense and yet altogether poetic conducting was mc -erially assisted by the intelligence and ability of the musicians in the first place. and in the second by the superb drilling of this peerless orchestra by the faithful Wilhelm Gericke. Dr. Strauss with his characteristic modesty and large hearted HeSSf WdS not SLOW lneTelOTe III expressing himself publicly to the men, by saying that Ito conduct such an orchestra Is an inspiration and a pleasurable task.'
 After the rehearsal he thanked and applauded the musicians heartily. Ono of the orchestra members was heard to say that It was q glorious rehearsal, and that it had made him feel twenty years younger. If the musicians themselves feel like this, will not the music loving people of Boston be amply repaid by at tending this notable concert? Our city Is greatly indebted for this wonderful privilege of having it's pride, it's match less Symphony orchestra directed by the worlds greatest composer. to the men themselves They have assumed all the risks, engaging pr. Strauss at great ex pense for this concert which, as everyone knows, Is given in aid of its pension fund. The special committee of the or chestra, which has had all the details in bringing about this concert in charge, deserves the lasting gratitude of a cul- tured and refined community. B. G.
