THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

Subscribers to the Symphony orches-
ira guarantee fund have been asked to
contribute enough to maintain intact
the balance of the original fund, ar
amount held in reserve now Of about
81 900. The purpose is to invest this
81 900 in some Understanding security
and keep 1t in reserve for any emergen-
cy that might arise The last concert
incurred a deficit, and the association
wishes to cover it without drawing on
the reserve.
Unquestionably the Symphony orches-
ira is of great value to the community,
not only in the pleasure its high-class
recitals give, but in their educational
and esthetic service. IT, may be doubted
whether any city of its class in this
country supports as strong an organiza-
ton or one as well worth maintaining.
Salt Lake has always beeen noted for
the number and exceptional ability of
its musicians; and the orchestra mas
been a large factor in sustaining this
reputation. The musicians themselves
derive no profit from their symphony
work, and their conductor gives his SER
vices to II largely as a labor of love.
The result has justified entirely the lib
erality of the subscribers. The neeos
of the association are not large, and
the amount they ask is insignificant
compared to the great good that can be
accomplished with 1t. Every music lover
in the city who is invited to join In the
subscription ought to be glad to do his
share.

and battered Arabs, each In his own
peculiar state of limping, stumbling
contortion, TO the esctatic delight of the
people.
But the White Chief hadn't yet got
out of the desert with his sweetheart
In the next act he cut a footbridge in
two with a slash of his scimitar, letting
the Arabs drop into chasm; he babe
the girl leap from a high rock, where
they held her, and he caught her in his
arms; he fought on horseback with the
entire tribe, armed with poisoned
spears, and seemed. to kill all who did
not flee; and yet they got him again
just as he happened to you in the night
mare I have mentioned.
By this time Mr.. Mont gomery Irving
had stripped himself to the waist, and
looked like another Sandow for muscu-
lar development. The villain had him
bound to rock. to be tortured to death.
Prometheus fashion, by the blistering
sun and the ravening birds; but the au-
dience could hardly be expected to wait
for such slow agOnieS as those; so
red-hOt iron was brought in sissing and
sparkling. Oh, there are other theatric
illusionists than Belasco. A criss-cross
of scared lines fried and smoked on
the hero's bare breast beautifully.
There was one more fight to be fought
in the White Chiefs nightmare before
he could be permitted to wake I'D in
Alexandria and set sail with his bride
for America. His horse had died on
the way. His girl was a limp burden
in his arms. He was carrying her
down the steep side of a mountain. The
villain and a dozen Arabs confronted
him with their thirteen swords to bring
bad luck to his single blade. Here
Kyrle Bellows record of Staying six
swordsmen in "a Gentleman of
France" and tumbling them down
stairway, is wiped out by Mr.. Mont
gomery Irving, who sticks thirteen ad-
versaries and sends them rolling down
the rocky steps of the mountainside.
All this was done so very crudely as
to seem to me nothing else than ridicu-
lous, if viewed not as an athletic show,
but as a drama of possibilities. Yet
some of those present were emotionally
impressed, as an incident proved. The
heroine came weakly to her senses and
begged for water. The hero laid her
down and went to get some from a
spring. The villain got to his feet
once more, and menaced anew.
"Ah," she cried eff my White Chief
were but here to defend me-
HE will never defend you again."
sneered the villain; che has run away,
and left you to me-"
Then a voice came from the audience
mot a saucy gallery boys, nor a Gym
ical balcony mans, but an overweight
woman's in the parquette; and it said
to the girl on the stage: Don't you
believe itP' The heroine didn't believe
lit, and the hero saved her for the final
time.

Two English actors, musty old as the
favorite ale of their country, Charles
Warner and Willie Edouin, have been
imported across the Atlantic for our
vaudeville market. Warner became so
addicted to Zola's Drink" thirty years
ago, that he has had delirium tremens
on the stage almost daily ever since.
American audiences have seen some of
his fits. Edouin was the comedian with
Lydia Thompson's blondes, and so is
the father of the present generation of
funny men in musical farces. That
these artists are oldish men isn't their
fault; that their style has become anti
quated is their misfortune; and that
they are still able to do variety show
stunts at presumably big salaries is
their good luck.

Warner has son-now here in Serv-
ice with Eleanor Robson-WhO is so
hight and easy a comedian as to throw
the fathers heavy, labored method into
extreme contrast. The senior Warner
is using a condensed drama, "At the
Telephone" which originated at An
tones famous Paris theatre of art Cd
dities. In the play as acted there, a
woman was shown in the first scene
alone and unprotected in a suburban
house. She heard robbers breaking in,
telephoned to her husband in town for
help, and when the curtain fell she
was COW ering at the instrument in ter
ror. The second scene was at a house
in the city where the husband, a guest
at a dinner party, was called to the
phone to hear his wife's pitiful plea
for aid, and to be unable to save her.
For vaudeville use, the essential first
scene is omitted. The start is made
with Warner telling that he has left
his wife at home unprotected overnight.
The actor thus deprives himself of any
prelude, and relies on his own unsup-
ported power of vocal and visual ex-
preston while informing the audience
OF the tragedy which is taking place at
the other end of the wire. Warner is
one of those slow, measured, deliberate
and everything but expeditions actors
of the old school, who tire you out with
their excellence, in case you are a
hurry-up American with nerves that
ache if they have to wait. Still, he gets
a hold Of the audience, and doesn't let
go, with the tragedy of the wife's muir
der by the burglars, which he is sup
posed to hear, but of which not s. sound
or glimpse is other than imaginary

Willie Edouin shows himself, at an
other vaudeville theatre, at first as he
really is-a feeble and uncertain old
man; and his stunt is the personation
of various men and women-London
types of character-who call at a life

to their physical qualification to become
policy-holders. He changes his gar
ments and wigs, as well as the make-up
of his face, while on the stage in full

ers a succession of ''wheezes''-as Eng
liSh music hall humorists term their
jokes. But he doesn't attempt to dance

ever have to stop dancing before he

Saturday night in Ironton and vi
entity was again featured last ey-
ing with shooting scrape in which
the victim is dead, and his slayer
is now in custody Of the Kentucky
authorities.
The affair occurred on log raft
which lies on the Kentucky shore
Just below Amanda Furnace, and the
principals were Alfred Stephens, the
victim, who resides on South Fourth
street Irontop, and Charles San
ders, the gun user, who resides on
a family boat near the Whistler q
Scearcy sawmill
1t seems that the trouble origi-
mated primarily from dispute over
money due Asa Hughes and Alfred
Stephens from Charles Sanders. who
had employed them TO help in gath
ering up and rafting logs for the
Crane Lumber Company. Stephens
and Hughes had worked portion
of five days for Sanders and they
went to the Kentucky side % the
river Saturday afternoon 70 get their
pay. They called on a brother Of
Charles Sanders, whose name is lie
for their money, and they were told
by the latter that he had no change
but would pay them Monday. This
did not satisfy the men, and. accord
ing to reports they began to grow
ugly and to insist that they be paid
without delay. A quarrel ensued
and in a few minutes Stephens op-
ened fire with revolver on Charles
Sanders. Sanders got a winchester
and shot Stephens. The latter was
carried to Ironton. and while on
the way TO the hospital he died
Sanders was arrested and is In jail
In Greenup.

SPEAKING OF FDooDs.-An old SOL
dier, whose cherished name was that
of two of our presidents, died here in
Washington recently, and his passing
reminds me of a story I once heard
him tell. Veteran of 81 as he was,
he had listened patiently 20 the very
long story a youthful veteran of the
Spanish War told. The account of
hardships left him unmoved
Just after the Johnstown flood, my
boy" said he, there was man in the
next world who went about telling
everybody how that Johnstown affair
had sent him where he was.
His listeners hung on his words
all of them, that is except quiet
looking little man who seemed so little
impressed that every time the john
stown man got through he merely look
ed bored and said, oh, shucks!'
The Johnstown man got tired of 1t
after a while. 1t got on his nerves
to have anybody act as If what hap
pened at Johnstown wasn't Of any i'm
portance. No matter how he told his
story, the quiet looking little man
merely said, oh shucks.'
AT last the Johnstown man spoke
to a fellow who had been there a long
time about 1t.
Say said he, who is that lit
tie man who keeps saying "shucks?"

been there a long time. Do you mean

SF The world is less familiar with
the Snake river of Idaho than with
any other river of Importance in the
United States, and yet it is our sew
enth largest river-more than thou
sand miles long, says the June
Worlds Work. 1t is one of the most
wonderful and impressive waterways
in the world. The few who have
tried to follow it's winding course
through wild and forbidding extents
of lava plateauX do not wonder that
so little is known of 1t. for no rail-
roads traverse the lifeless desert that
borders it, and no boats, for hundreds
of miles at a stretch, dare ply its wa
ters. 1t is navigable for only one
hundred miles from its junction with
the Columbia to the Idaho boundary,
and in several isolated sections Of
the interior. For the greater part OF
it's course 1t flows through old and
magnificent conyons of its own MAX
ing through desolate and awful
wastes, the result of vomiting craters
and of convulsions of the earth.
