WORKED IN FACE
OF OBSTACLES.
THE TRUE STORY OF THE AUDI
ToRIUM CHAIRS.
Minneapolis HUSTLE Triumphed
When It Seemed, for a Time, that the
Audience Would be Forced to Stand
Thruout the Musical Festival-Cost
Was Monumental.

The story of the orchestra and par
uuet chairs, used for the first time last
night at the opening Of the Auditorium,
is interesting. Fate, elements and ev-
erything else seemed to initiate against
the arrival of the seats. The delay has
been mentioned, but the real story is
just out. Three carloads came by ex-
them from the factory, a thousand
miles away. Assumption of authority
by an agent was the first cause Of the
trouble. The non-arrival of the plush
for the seats was another factor in
causing tremendous amount of worry
to w. L. Harris of the New England,
and to the managers of the festival and
of the Auditorium.
The seats were ordered in November
by the New England Furniture Il Car
pet company, which installed them.
They were intended for shipment Dec.
: Is in expectation of the opening OF the
"The Messiah,''g by the Philharmonic
club. Owing to delay in the compile
ton of the building the time for deliv-
cry was extended for the accommodate
ton of the manufacturer. Early in Jan
uary instructions were given to have
the chairs ready for shipment by Feb.
l. The agent Of the manufacturer, how
ever, on personal inspection in January,
concluded that the building would not
be ready March l. Without knowledge
Of Mr.. Harris and on his own account
he postponed completion Of the chairs
'eImagine the sitnation,'' said Mr.
Harris this morning. The chairs not
being shipped Feb. 1, it was ascertained
that not only has the special plush not
reached the factory, but that the
frames themselves were not completed
Finally the factory, promised to make
shipment without fail Feb. 10, but ne
shipment materialized. Mr.. Kellogg
vice president of the New England, wal
at once sent to the seat of war. To thu
CONSERVATION of those interested he re
ported that the plush had not arrived
To make matters worse, snow blocked
all freight. Finally thru supreme exer
ton the plush reached the factory
which, by the way, is in an interio

ARE GAMBLING DEVICES
MAYOR EXPLAINS HIS INTEN-
TONS REGARDING REMOVAL
OF THE SLOT MACHINES.

Altho owners of slot machines have
not been notified that they must re-
move the gambling devices from their
places of business, they know that
Mayor Jones means business, and some
of them have already put the machines
under cover
Thru misunderstanding of the
mayors intentions many of the cigar
dealers thought the order applied to all
machines, including the vending ma
chimes which give value received. Two
representatives of the Retail Cigar
Dealers association called on the mayor
today. to get a clear statement. 1t was
explained that any machine that was
sure to give something for the money
deposited will be allowed to stay. The
order will only apply to those devices
that are merely games Of chance. Pea
nut and gum machines are not under
the ban. ... ~.
The representatives were satisfied,
and the dealers. will make no protest
against the order. .r -.
When the order is formally given out
the owners of machines will be given a
few days to get rid Of them, but after
that all machines found will be de-
stroyed.

The wife of an army officer who re-
Gently went to the Philippines writes
glowing account of the journey, and.
instead of discomforts, which one is

found the experience altogether novel
and interesting. Honolulu she de-
scribes as wonderfully picturesque

line is an avenue covered and shaded
by immense cocoanut palms and hor
yond tangle of tropical growth. Tho
natives were without garments, save
from their hips down, the women wear
Ing trailing skirts in an effort to equal
tze their clothing"
She describes the passage through
the San Bernardino straits, through
reputed to be dangerous one, as
very elightful-mountains as large as
the Alleghenies sloping up from the
waters edge and green to their very
tops. They wound in and out among
the islands a day and half, and so
close to land that they could distin-
guish natives on the shore.
Like most others, she finds life in
Manila very fascinating, but admits
that her first introduction to native
bed was not calculated to make them
lifelong friends. 1t has cane-seat bot
tom, where springs usually set; on
that is spread thin pad and then
straw mat, or one made of palm leaves,
upon which Is laid the usual sheets,
etc. She says the civil government peo-
pie would like to have the entire army
evacuate the islands, but that, in her
opinion, the army will be needed for
some time, and cites in that connection
the fact that the priests take the school
boys from the Luneta before THE Star
Spangled Banner" is played, which is
done at the close of every concert, and
that the Spanish native element also
leaves.

''About the first thing they'll run you
up against the California ripe olive.
Ever eat them? You can hardly get
them here because they won't stand

Most real olive eaters prefer them
to the ordinary green picked olive.
The ripe olives are picked also, you
understand, and come out of the brine
jet black.
After you have eaten and approved,
they will lead you on by remarking:
"'Well, If you like them that way
you'll like them better fresh. Just
stroll out to the orchard with me and
we'll have one
Then they will lead you out to one
of their long lanes of olive trees. /
pause to remark that you don't know
what olive green and olive brown
mean until you've seen those colors in
that slim, graceful little tree.
There are the fresh olives all right,
hanging among the gray leaves and
looking mighty tempting. You pick
one with the confidence Of the easy
mark and bite into it.
'Whew! Bitter? 1 can taste it yet.
It's all the quinine and rhubarb and
wormwood in the world, combined in
nasty, haunting bitterness that hangs
to you until you have eaten two meals.
1t is an oily bitterness that gets into
the corners and crannies of your
mouth and won't be washed out.
