SCORED GREAT SUCCESS
A Big Audience Delighted by the Journa
Newsboys' Band.

NeWSpOyS 6dOO.
The Journal Newsboys' band appeared
at the Metropolitan last evening in its
sixth annual concert and achieved the
biggest success Of its career. The pro-
gram was long one and contained a
great variety of compositions, from Love
and Idleness'' to the "Poet and Peasant"
overture and the familiar William Tel"
TO say that the sixty boys who form
this famous organization covered them
selves with glory would be to express the
fact very mildly. Indeed, so great was
the demand to hear the band and so
pleased was the large audience which
filled the theater that the program was
almost doubled. One Of the most interest
ing numbers was the Grand Fantasia"
from Wallace's Mariana" in which the
barytone solo, with all its bewildering
variations, was played by Master G. Ma
thansen. This lad has become exceeding
ly proficient on his chosen instrumen
and plays admirably. Another number
which was greatly enjoyed was the over
ture to Bela's 'Lustspeil." The. William
Tell'' was perhaps a trif1e ambitious for
such young players, but was given an
unusually good Interpretation.
One of the features Of the evening was
the playing of am original march COM
posed by the director, c. G. Heintzeman,
and dedicated to the Little Red Band .
1t is a lively, stirring composition written
upon two contrasting themes, one 1T
which is distinctly martial and the other
more melodious. It was we'll played.
Miss Frances Vincent. was the soloist
Of the evening. Her first number, was
Faure's "Sancta Maria,'' which was en-
cored, and the singer responded with II
Love You Truly, Dear" The singer was
the recipient Of a lovely bunch Of liberty
roses and ferns tied with a broad ribbon
which exactly matched the brilliant car
mine of the flowers. AS an encore to her
second group of songs Miss Vincent sang
'The Last Rose of Summer" Mrs
Charles @Babcock accompanied the singer
very effectively.

PARK BOARD NOW
SECURING DEEDS
WORK IN PROGRESS ON LORING
PARK EXTENSION
Assessments Will Be Spread Over a
Large Area and as Soon as They Are
Arranged, the Actual Work of I'M
provement VIII Begin.

ii . ts4 ! n. 49, * .- s ~ - -
Considerable preliminary work will
be required before the Loring park
extension plans begin to take definite
form. Now that the park board has
formally designated the loWlands be-.
tween Lorking Park and Spring lake
for park purposes and has confirmed
the awards Of the board of appraisers,
the next step will be to secure deeds
from the owners of the several tracts
which We're not owned by Thomas
Lowry. This work is now under way.
There have been some rumors to
had threatened to appeal from the re-
port Of the appraisers, but it is, not
believed that there will be any
bitches that will carry the matter into
the courts. The owners will be paid
in park certificates due in ten years
and payable in annual installments
with interest. The banks stand ready
to take these certificates at Aiberal
rates.
When deeds have been obtained for
all the tracts, which, will be soon, the
board will petition the district court
to appoint commission to levy as
sessments. for the cancellation of the
raised is about s1O8,000 and it Is the
park boards desire that the assess
ments will be spread over such a large
territory that no assessment will ex-
coed SO per lot and from that to grade
down to 25 cents per lot. The assess
ments will thus, be so small that no
public spirited taxpayer will make any
pronounced objection. -
The opponents Of the park plan will
have the right to present their case in
court when the commissioners are ap'-
pointed and again when the court has
hearing on the motion to confirm the
assessments made by the commission.
tits the purpose of the park officials
to hasten proceedings as much as pos
sible so that actual work of creating
park out Of an unsightly waste may
begin as soon as weather will permit
and the park completed this summer.

WHEN SPRING IS HERE
1t Is High Time for You to Take
Notice of Climatic Changes.

There is no one in this section Of
the country, with the exception of the
coal man. who will not welcome the
return Of Spring. The winter has
been one Of the most severe in the
history Of the northwest. Weather at
ordinary 80 degrees below zero failed
to solicit a bit of unusual CONVERSE
ton. People were silently thankful
that it was not SO below. Many people,
not strong enough to Withstand the
ravages of terribly cold weather, have
been weakened by the severe winter.
Their bodies have been racked in the
endeavor to keep out the cold. On the
other hand, cold weather has been a
boon to many people. Young folks,
with fast-running blood, think no
more Of $50 below" weather than q,
swallow does Of summer shower.
They thrive on it and enjoy the win
ter sports and the winter snow and
cold.
But when Spring comes, that tired
feeling comes to nearly every one, and
it is a sure sign that the body Is in
need of a tonic to prepare 1t for an
other weather change. The physical
man becomes accustomed to cold
weather and winter conditions. There
are new elements to be fought when
Spring comes. Winter foods are not
so welcome to the stomach, and there
should be thorough "house-clean-
ing for the house Of flesh. In the be-
ginning Of Spring is it specially help
full to use Walther's Peptonized Port
that ideal tonic and health builder.
1t is composed, as the name implies,
of rare port and pure pepsin. It will
most surely cure you Of that worn
out" feeling and will set your stomach
at rest. Walther's Peptonized Port
comes in bottles Of two sizes, $1.0O
and SO cents. and is on sale at voege-
Ills two stores. Washington and Hen

JOHN DUFFY SPEAKS r

Thru a mistake in not announcing the

of the Carpenters and Joiners' union
turned out last night to listen to an adj
dress by John Duffy of Philadelphia, presf-
dent of the American Brotherhood Of Car
penters, Joiners and Affiliated Trades, at
Century hall, last night. 1t had been
intended to invite the public. but thru q
misunderstanding this was not done.
Union Il Labor was the theme upon which
Mr. Duffy addressed the assembly. He
declared Minneapolis to be a strong union
labor city, and complimented the wives
of union men for the support they were
giving for the good of the order -

LIGHT COINS HELD OUT
Local Treasury Officials Can't Accept
Light Gold Pieces.

There is one place in Minneapolis
where gold does not pass for its face
value alone. The laity usually accept the
yellow coins at the stamped denomina-
ton and ask no questions. At the office
of the collector of customs it is different.
Each coin is weighed carefully. and
when a light one is found it is thrown
aside temporarily. Collector G. r. Cooley
declares that at least 10 per cent Of the
gold received is light in weight
After the weighing, the abrased coins
are taken to the bank where it IS usually
an easy thing to change them for coins
no Minneapolis bank account, but ships
all gold direct to the treasury depart
ment asgfast as it is received. This ac-
counts for the careful weighing and sort
ing Of the coins

HE MISSED CHURCH
Visiting Clergyman Wanders While the

Congregation Waits.
Rev. q. Henry Lewis, NJ: A., of England,
at present a guest at the st. James hotel,
has grievance against the city directory
people,. He charges his failure to keep
an appointment at Calvary Baptist church
yesterday morning to an error in the city
directory.
Calvary Baptist church is at Blaisdell
avenue and West Twenty sixth street and
is reached by any First avenue S car. But
the directory says that it is at "Blaisdell
avenue, southwest corner Twenty sixth, y

A RECOUNT DESIRED
Twin City Maccabees Haven't Abandoned
- Big Tent Idea. ~

- Big Tent Idea.
Home rule is wanted for the Maccabees
of Minnesota, especially by the twin city
tents, and there is much Disappointing
over the second failure to secure q con-
vention for organizing great tent in
this state. There Is a feeling that the
supreme council and the state deputies
appointed by that body, being opposed to
the formation of a great tent in this
state, have not dealt fairly in this mat
ter. At the first election it was found
that tents not voting were counted with
the tents opposed to the movement, and
it is believed that this has been repeated,
hence there will be an investigation and
demand for a recount.
The order claims 10000 members in this
state, whereas only 5000 are necessary
for great tent. .,.... =, ~ -, ~. -,

Resolutions OF Respect.

Resolutions passed by the Board of
Directors of the Maryland Commission
Agency at their last meeting in mem,
DRY of Hon. Joseph s. Wilson.
RESOLVED. In the death of the Hon
Joseph s. Wilson, of Prince Georges
county, the Maryland Commission
Agency of Baltimore city has sustained
a loss which falls heavily upon its off
GERS and patrons. ~:
Mr.. Wilson has been Director and
the Secretary of this company since its
organization in 1890 and has always
worked earnestly and faithfully for its
success and his earnest work and: clear
insight into business has contributed
thereto. As an official he was ever
ready to express his views and fight for
what he conceived to be right, but was
always courteous and affable, respectful
to all and generous in the extreme.
Taken away just in the prime of life
with bright future and useful life ahea
and almost without a warning, his death
has fallen the more heavily upon his
friends
There is however the sweet comfort
that in his public and private life he leaves
beautiful record of which his friends
may be justly proud,
Resolued further, That in token of oul
affection and appreciation of his work
for this company that these resolutions
be spread upon its minutes and that a
copy be sent to his family.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result. and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases of ten are
caused by eatarrh, which is nothing but
