since played at practically every large city of the country For two seasons it was one of the leading attractions at the White City, Chicago, where thousands enjoyed the music. Just before coming to Birmingham the band filled a two weeks engagements at the Jamestown ex- position, where it won fresh laurels.
 Ralph Ricel was we1l-known in Italy before coming to America. He was one of the friendly rivals of Creatore, the famous bandmaster, and the two worked to- gether in many pieces. The 37 musicians under Ricci have been selected with more than ordinary care, and the result Is an organization entirely harmonious. John Jovine, manager of the band, is one Of the few members who can speak English fuently, the others having been too short a time in this country to know much of the English slangua The suc- cess of the band is due largely to his efforts.
 With the organization are two we'll known singers, Mary J. Maconochie, so- prano. and Joseph r ontana, baritone. These soloists will be heard this after noon in several selections, with band &C., compartment. and will render an unusually pleasing duet. The programme includes some of the difficult passages from grand opera, but is varied enough to please all tastes There will be special cars to and from the fair grounds and a large crowd is expected to hear these famous musicians

LIVELY DAYS FOR
 THE MUNICIPALITY
Another Council Meeting Comes Wednesday Night
! IS EXPECTED TO BE SERENE
On Tuesday the Police Commission Question Comes Up In Court and Saturday Parker Quo War
 ranto Will Be Heard.

These are live municipal months. With the close of last week the sensational graft charges had been cleared off, pro- ceedings had been filed in both the coun- cil and the police commission muddles sensational meetings of both old and new commissions had been held, and Satur- day closed with a yell to this week, "Lookin at yer.'
 Of course nobody knows what day will bring forth, but any week that boasts a council meeting coming it's way need not hide it's face. Therefore, the biggest leader on the billboard is sehed- uled for Wednesday night at the city hall 7:30 sharp.
 There will be no attempt to outdo the meeting two weeks ago, but the session promises 10 be at least interesting. There is no speculation as to who will occupy the chair or who will occupy the floor and the aldermanc seats. There are no rumors of other investigations, but-just anything may happen.
 Then Tuesday the hearing of the case of the police commission fight will come mp before Judge Lane, and it will be temporarily decided, at least which com mission isa in charge. Since 1t has be- come evident that the legislature will take up the matter, and since that body is the one which established the new commission, there may be doubt whether the old commissioners will push the mat ter further, should they lose in the first round
 The whole week will be filled up with rumors and rumors of graft evidence in connection with the investigation of the Southern Bitulithic company, and will end up Saturday with the fhearing of the quo warranto proceedings between the Parker and the administration factions over the council chairmanship. These and others.

MKEE WILL FIGHT SUIT.
Rich American Says His Wife's AlIega- tions Are False.

Paris. October 12-(Special Cable )-Hart Mckee intends to fight his wife's di- vorce suit strenuously. He has obtained Maitre Labori, Dreyfus' lawyer, to oppose his wife's application.
 Mckee was greatly surprised at his wifes suit and indignantly denies all her accusations of brutality. He said to- day:
 "There is no truth in my wfe's accusa- tions and the French courts will prove that by giving a decision in my favor. My lawyers forbid me to discuss the case, so l am unable to furnish you with the counter charges l am to bring against my wife. l repeat all her allegations about me are false, a fact which the courts will bring out"

BIRDS COURTlNG COLORS.

The primary use of the flashes O.
bright colors exhibited by birds il,

Troop their wings and expand their
elevated tails. thus showing off to
full advantage the conspicuous colors
Or markings.
It is diyerting sometimes to note
The tricks which the males Of variou,

to display all their charms. Pigeons
ior instance, are very magnificent in
'front.'. with rainbow gloss upon the
throat and breast; and these are
fully displayed in the act of cooling.
when the male bird sweeps toward
the female on tiptoe, with head erect
and throat expanded.
But the pigeon is also very hand

and broad. black barred tail. SO, as
he cannot display these when stand

PLEADS FOR CHANGE
IN DIVORCE LAWS.
Points Out the Growing DjSre-
gard for Marriage Relation.
BY James CARDINAL Gibbons.

The reckless facility with which
divorce is procured in this country
is an evil scarcely less deplorable
than Mormonism- some re-
spects more dangerous-for d.
vorce has the sanction of law,
while Mormonism has not. Nor
monism consists in simultaneous
polygamy. while the law of divorce
practically leads to successive po-
lygamy.
Each State has list of causes
or, rather, pretexts. There are in
all twenty-five or more causes,
most of them of triffing charac-
ter, and in some States, as in Hi
nois and Maine, the power OF
granting a divorce is left to the
discretion of the Judge.
The cancer of divorce is rapidly
spreading and poisoning the foun-
tains of the nation. Unless the
evil is checked by some speedy and
heroic remedy. the existence of
family life is imperiled. How can
we call ourselves Christian peo-
pie if we violate fundamental
law of Christianityl And if the
the sanctity and indissolubility of
marriage does not constitute a car
dinal principle of the Christian
religion. am at loss to know
what does.
Great stress is justly laid by NOR
alists on the observance of Sunday.
But what a mockery is the eXter-
nal repOse of the Christian Sab
bath to homes from which dOmes-
tic peace is banished, where the
mothers heart is broken and Il e
fathers spirit crushed, and where
the children cannot cling to one of
their parents without exciting the
jealousy or hatred of the other.
And these melancholy scenes are
followed by the final act of the
drama when the family ties are
dissolved and hearts that had VOW
ed eternal love and union are sep
arated to meet no more.
The facility with which marriage
is annulled is most injurious to the
morals of individuals. of the fam
lily and of society. 1t leads to i'll
assorted and hasty marriages.
1t stimulates disconnected and
unprincipled husband or wife to
lawlessness. quarrels and even
adultery, well knowing that the
very crime will afford a pretext
and legal grounds for separation.
FIERCE ENMITY FOLLOWS.
1t engenders between husband
and wife fierce litigations about
! the custody of their offspring.
1t deprives the children of the
protecting arm of a father or the
gentle care of mother. and too
frequently consigns them to the
cold charity of the world.
This social plague calls for a
radical cure, and the remedy can
he found only in the abolition of
our mischivous legislation regard
ing divorce and in an honest appli-
cation of the teachings of the
Gospel.
If persons contemplating marri-
age were persuaded that once uni
ted they were legally debarred
from entering into second wedlOck
they would be more circumspect
before marriage in the choice of a
life partner. and would be more
patient afterward in bearing the
yoke and in tolerating each others
intirmities. Prom the Dellneator
