Dreams" composed for Tristan

the hit of the symphony concert yes

Little more than a fragment, it's deli

enthralled. appealing as 1t did to all
phases of music love and all grades of
music culture. While the slumber
theme was maintained by the droning
of second violins, thephantasy sparkled
from the firsts and lighter woodwinds,
and the fitful lapsing of the dream was
alternately interpreted by oboe and
French horn until the diminuendo
faded to a scarcely audible sigh. Then
the plaudits thundered.

negligence. Each number on the pro-
gramme received all the instrumental
ton 1t was entitled to. For example,
the Brahms serenade was written for
flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, viola,
cello, bass cello and French horn. and
while the absence of the lighter strings
and heavier brasses was noticeable,
their presence would have been un-
necessary. For like reason only forty
eight instruments were heard in Mo-
zart's Jupiter symphony" and many
less than that number were needed in
the Wagnerian bit that won the stellar
honors. In the Ride of the valkyrs, .
however, even the full orchestra at its
highest concert pitch seemed too

PROBABLY because or the perhaps very
small quantity of impurity-rust or
otherwise-which il contains. The gold
needle invariably leaves no mark what
ever. Approaching these facts, efforts
in which surgeons particularly have
been interested have been made for
years TO contrive a process for harden
ing gold so that it could be used for
the blades of instruments of surgery
of all kinds.
This is just what DIR. Vaughn has
accomplished after eighteen years of eX-
perimenting and research. His method
consists of the employment of heat and
chemicals, but the tempering process
does not make an alloy of the precious
metal. Pure gold tempered by this
process remains pure, but the surgical
instruments which DR.. Vaughn is now
manufacturing and which are begin
ming TO be used extensively in hospitals
and by practicing physicians and sur
geons are of II carats fpeness, these
being as efficient but not as costly rs

QUITTING THE ROAD
Many Railway Mail Clerks Take
Up Other Lines of
Activity.
DISLIKE WORKING CONDITIONS
Signing Petition Asking for Remedyine
of Many Evils Now Com
planned OF.

In accordance with a national move
ment, the c., B. C Q. mail clerks of
Rock Island and other cities are sign
ing a petition addressed to the post
master general asking that many evils
of the service be remedied. Among
the changes which they are asking for
are:
That the government comply with
the eight-hour law in the postal serv-
ice.
That the clerks be allowed to hire
substitutes, as was the custom before
recent ruling.
That the system of fines be abolish
ed except where positive loss is proven.
That a number of other restrictions be
removed.
That the salaries of the clerks be
put On an equal basis with those of
commercial lines of the same par
a.iel
Pay Insufficient.
The mai clerks maintain that they
are not receiving the compensation
that they should and that they would
get il i'll other lines of business As
result. many of them are leaving
their runs to go into other business.
Railway mail clerks salaries are di-
vided into a number of classes. The
lowest grade receive $3.50 a year, and
so on up to $500. The highest salary
they can climb to is $1,000
The clerks risk their lives on every
run and they. are constantly required
to study in order to keep up with the
advancement of the service. 1t is a
school and examinations are required
every six months. In view of this,
the money consideration should be-
greater, they say.
Each clerk receives certain COM
pensation for his work. He has GER
tain run. Should :. train be eight hours
late in arriving at its destination, the
clerk is required to remain on duty the
extra eight hours without additional
pay.
Overtime Work Gratis.
There are a number of trains that
are late frequently, as the clerks are
working overtime on every run, and
this they declare is an imposition. If
the eight-hour law is complied with,
the clerks would either be relieved at
the end of that period of time or re-
ceive pay for the service he puts in
at the expiration of his eight hours.
In order to demonstrate that the
salaries of the clerks are not equal to
those in commercial lines of the same
parallel the cases of the Burlington
clerks who have resigned to engage in |
other business is cited. In the past
year eight clerks have severed their
with the service.

STEEL CUT WITH GAS.
Jets of Oxygen and Hydrogen EN-
plOyed Successfully.

Jets of Oxygen and Hydrogen EN-
ployed Successfully.
Saving steel Is a dangerous process
because of the great power required in
running the cutting tools in the case of
tempered metal and also because of
the small particles of steel which are
scattered through the atmosphere and
breathed into the lungs of the work
men.
French engineers have recently de-
vised method of cutting steel which
avoids these dangers. a small jet of
oxygen gas Is the instrument employed
and has proved itself most efficient.
The complete apparatus comprises two
pipes, which move along the mark to
be cut. From the first pipe issues a
jet of mingled oxygen and hydrogen,
producing n flame which first heats the
metal red hot. The oxygen jet issuing
from the second pipe literally burns
away the heated metal.
The cutting is very quickly done, the
heat not having time to be dissipated
and no fusion OF the metal taking place.
The section is rs clean as that made
by saw and of no greater width. The
method has special advantage in that
the section of the plate, pipe or other
object to be cut laay be made accord
ing TO aTly desired patterp

No Yaaui. Near cumpas.-pr. E

No Yaquis Near cumpas.-Dr. F. H. Van Dorn, of Cumpas, who is in town for few days on business, is very emphatic in his denial of the Yaqui stories that have been given out from parties coming from that district. He says there are no Yaquis anywhere near Cumpas that are causing any trouble, and the only trouble was the murder 54 miles beyond Moctezuma. which was committed with view to robbery. The story about one man at Cumpas being shot at four times originated as joke on a tenderfoot, whom several were trying to scare, and was not intended to be published as fact. The doctor says he trav- els all over the district, and seldom goes armed and he has not heard of any troublesome Yaquis in his vicin- ty. He says that when any one from down there asks them where he Yaquis are, they tell them the nearest are in Douglas.
