HILL TO RETIRE.
Former New York Senator Declares
!, He Will Quit Politics on
January /.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Davld B. Hill,
In conversation with friends here Sun
day, announced that he intends to retire
from politics January 1, next. and that
NO matter what the result Of the coming
campaign may be In state or national, he
will relinquish the leadership OF the
democratic party In New York.
He added that In the event Of demo-
cratic success this fall he would not ac-
cept any position under the national or
state democratic administration or
again become a candidate for election
to any Office whatever.
Former Senator Hill made these state
ments on the eve of his birthday ami
versary, which is to-day. He was born
August 20, 1843.
In partial explanation, he said that
he had intended to take such action a
year ago, but was persuaded by some
close personal friends to defer doing SO
until after the presidential election this
year. Having been engaged in active
politics since his youth and having
served as city attorney, alderman and
mayor of Elmira, member of the legis-
lature, lieutenant governor, governor
for seven years and United States SEN
ator'for six years, he feels that he has
been sufficiently honored by his party,
and that he has rendered political serv-
Ice during period of years sufficient to
entitle him to be relieved of further ac-
tive political effort. He desires to de-
vote more time to his personal affairs
and professional duties than he has in
the past.
Mr. Hill will continue his work in the
present campaign, and to his friends
said that he would always maintain his
interest in democratic success, but only
as a private citizen.
Mr.. Hill will speak for the democracy
at the county fair to be held at Whit
ney's Point, in this state, on Wednes-
day Of this week, to be followed by Sem
ator Depew the next day for the repub-
licSns.

PICNIC SWEPT BY STORM.
Three Persons Are Killed and Several
Others Injured In Chautauqua
County, n. z.

Jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 26.-Three
persons lost their lives and several
others were injured In tornado that
swept through ChautauQua county

who took refuge under the trees at the
first sign Of the storm we're caught by
the falling branches and injured.
Many horses were killed in the same
manner. Some of the animals STAN
peded, trampling upon the injured peo-
pie, lying upon the ground.

rooted. Hundreds of forest and fruit
trees were torn up and corn and ,oat
fields were laid waste, entailing loss
of thousands Of dollars.
The tornado followed comparatively
narrow path. Had it struck the grove

been enormous. as 5000 people were in
the grove and 800 horses and carriages
were standing under the trees. A large
maple tree was uprooted in the grove.
its trunk and branches smashing six car
riages and killing four horses. Grin
Dalrymple, Miss Scott, his granddaugh-
ter, and Austin A. Pierce were instantly

Filipinos at st. Louis
Worlds Fair
Wonderful Music Rendered Daily by Islanders on Plaza
of Philippine Building.

| members of the civil police force wear
the khaki. 1t Is these little men In
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band we're all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
in his own line, and all of them had
seen service in the military bands Of
the Spanish regime. However, there
was tremendous task for the band
master. The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only small part
of concerted playing.
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning of the
attack" on which the effect of a
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and it is in
this that their playing Is so marvellous.
In the tender, sympathetic passages Of
selection tie tone, Is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which It
rises, without crash and without a
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the enraptured
listener is engulfed in a mighty bill
low of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst of melody in
such climax as that which occurs in
the sextette Of Lucia, and no band ever
handled its climaxes better.
In the most powerful tone, there Is
not the slightest suggestion of brassi-
ness 1t is all liquid music. This Is
due almost wholly to the instrumental
ton, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead Of the large num-
Der of saxaphones, the instrumental
ton includes four sarusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari-
nets are not used merely for accom-
paniment but actually carry the sec
ond voice.
The music produced Is not simply
that of brass band, but Is varied for
effect to resemble strings. human
voices and even the pipe organ.
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists. and the personnel
of the band is sometimes rearranged
into an orchestra of 20 men and also
into a guitar glee club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, Is ma
tive of St Paul. and graduate Of the
New England conservatory of music
To his genius and devotion much OIL
the success of the Constabulary band
Is due.
Would that every American either
might listen to one of his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor Of the best band
in the United States. yes, and stay tc
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressive part of the concert. No one
could listen to the playing of "The
Star Spangled Banner" by that band
of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other FilIpinos, their hats over
their hearts and their heads bowed, and
doubt that they are loyalty American.

No. to the class who dare not visit

convinced that the 81 men who com
pose its membership are far above the

ment. A nation or race may be
judged by its music. natural feel
ing for rhythm and harmony is not

In behalf of the Filipino 1t mus. be
said that he is a natural musician.
Even the savage head-hunters, in their
peculiar tribal dances, manifest a re-
markable feeling for rhythm. There
IS none OF the Indians wild noise and
broken time in their beating of brass
tomtoms and their somewhat monoto-
