before, the classical students un- doubtedly sighed with regret because the number was not longer, but there were many in the audience who were not of the same opinion. The sym phony, for the reason that is played consecutively, and is relished by stu dents, is not likely to be ever fully appreciated by such an audience as that in the Buckingham last evening. But the orchestra and programme de- serve all the good things ttat can he said of it. The Boston orchestra Is something out of the ordinary and the audience would have been dis appointed if they had not rendered some such composition as Mendels- sohn's.
 Last nights concert showed plainly that the music going public of Wa terbury is desirous of the best in the musical world. Although early last week it looked as though the Music league would not make expenses, they knew by the sale of the past few days that the concert would bring even more than they hoped. The gallery Of the hall was sold cut early in tine week and down stairs was well filled, although there were some empty seats. There should have been none.
 The orchestra and their leader had nothing but praise for the reception rendered them in this city. Dr Muck. Manager Comee and several of the orchestra were entertained at The Elton after the concert. The or chestra left about midnight on q spec ial train of PulImans for Boston. where they will rehearse this after noon for the next concert in that .ifr

club of substantial increases in added money in almost all the stake events decided at the Sheepshead Bay track, starting with the raising of the guar anteed value of the Suburban handicap to $25,O00.

Prescott Courier: Sher1ff Lowry returned from Ash Fork last even ing, having in custody Peek Smdot. the cowboy who did the ".hoot up" of buildings at Ash Fork. Smoot had his preliminary examination before a local justice of the peace, who held him to the grand jury. Lowry says the shoot ing was more than at first reported, !, the glass front being riddled with shot, where was the main damage.
 Stafford Journal: A prosperous farmer of the artesion belt in- formed The Journal this week that he had two and quarter acres of ground planted to sweet potatoes. From this patch" he expects to dig about twenty-four tons of sweet potatoes. The market price of this commodity is 3 cents per fb on the average, which means that the gross yield will bring the grower $1440, or a return of S640 per acre. Land that yields such a profit is almost invaluable.
 Winslow Mail: The parties that attended the Moqui Indian snake dance at Walpi returned during the early part of the week. They report that the ceremonies were better this year than heretofore and that there were about one. hundred visitors present. There was also another dance given, which is known as the butterfly dance. This is the first time that this dance has occurred in about ten years and is said to have been highly interesting.
 Tombstone Prospector: "A re- markable weed has appeared in the southern part of the county following the recent rains, and although it is apparently crowding out the grass, the cattle thrive on it and they have never been in better shape" remarked Colin Cameron, who had just returned from the Santa Rita mountains, where he has a summer home. MT. Cameron stated further that the new weed which has suddenly appeared and which is a mystery to the cattlemen, Is from six inches to one foot in height and looks like a miniature tree.
 Arizona Republican: Leonidas Vega, who was arrested in the Buckeye country on charge of child stealing in running away with his seventeen year old sister-in-law, Amelia Vega, was taken before Justice Johnstone for arraignment. His hearing was set for Monday morning at ten o'clock. Vega thinks he will have no trouble in getting out of his present trouble for he says that he can prove that he did not steal the girl. On the contrary she went with him not only willingly but gladly. Vega will probably learn before he is, much older that the meaning of words in law are often slightly different from their commonly

Car and Auto Meet. - Alderman
Stouffer had a narrow escape from
injury Saturday when his automobile
and a Prospect park street car col
lided at the Corner of Fifth avenue
and Fifteenth street. Mr.. Stouffer
was driving his car east on Fifth ave-
nue. and at the crossing attempted to
turn south ON Fifteenth street. To
avoid colliding with vehicle. he
swung his car out to the middle of
the street. One of the wheels caught
OBJ the street car track and caused the
machine to "skid" headon into the
street car, which was travelling north.
The fender and front step of the car
were torn completely loose and the.
automobile was damaged, though to
only slight extent when the force of
the collision is taken into considera-
ton.
Horses Jump to Death.-Two horses
line were killed in a runaway Friday
afternoon. Mr.. Auer was using the
team in connection with some work
at the Catholic church at Thirteenth
street and the Bluff road. They were
hitched to an open wagon. While
| they stood in front of the church with
out a driver they became frightened
and dashed away westward along
First avenue Having passed through
the entire downtown district they
turned south on Seventh street and
ran madly to the brow of the bluff.
Evidently crazed by excitement they
executed a circle about a house and
at a dead gallop ran off the brow, of
the bluff. The fall was something
more than Is feet. One horse broke
his neck and died instantly. The
other sustained fracture of leg and
was shot a short time afterward
Saves Boy from lnjury.-Ed Slevin

disaster for young Anderson, who was
delivering groceries from pony cart
1t seemed to those who witnessed the
affair that no man could turn the run

tastrophe, yet the cabman turned the
trick. He kept the horse going as
straight as possible, but in turning tc

Iha.Christmas Tree.

A beautiful snow tree makes a most
fascinating spectacle, says Harper's
Bazaar. If the presents are hung on
1t, they must be done up in white pa
per and tied with white ribbon. The
candles are white and all the decora-
lions white. The base is covered with
cotton batting sprinkled with diamond
dust, and every branch is laden
with the same artificial snow. From
the twigs hang either glass icic!es.
which may be bought in some places
for about 6 cents apiece, or the cotton
may be pulled down to represent
icicles. The silver tinsel may be used
to drape the, tree. and silver stars,
balls, etc, can complete the decora-
tons. Instead Of a silver and white
tree we can have a gold and white
tree, with gold tinsel, stars, cornu-
copias, etc. and the white packages
tied with gold cord.

Suppression of Opium Smoking.

An observant traveller who reached
Hongkong, China, the other day from
the interior by way of the West river
tells of great change so far as the
use of opium is concerned, says the
North China News. He points out
that the edict issued by the throne OH
the subject has had marvellous effect
on the people, and especially those who
have learned the seductive power of
the drug. On the river steamers and
passenger boats, where hitherto there
has been free use of the pipe. there is
now a marked diminution. The steam
ers trading to Chiangmen have notices
conspicuously posted prohibiting the
use of the drug on board. and not only
are the notices posted, but they are OBJ
served. The traveller declares that on
a voyage on passage boat to Chang
men he did not see single opium
smoker. This speaks well for the &C.
ton Of the Chinese authorities.

Encroaching on Yosemite Park.

That what has been gained must be
vigilantly and vigorously defended is
evident from the scheme to draw the
future water supply of San Francisco
from the region of the Sierra, says the
Century Magazine. This was inevita-
BILE, and against the general idea there
can be no argument. The objection
ableness of the plan suggested is that,
with a large choice of streams for the
supply, the source selected has been
the wonderful Tuolumne river, both
the upper reaches near the beautiful
Meadows and the Tower stretches in
the Hetchy valley, which In i'm
pressiveness is second only to the
Yosemite itself. The fact that the
same waters farther down or other
waters to the north are available fol
the purposes implies spme disingenu
Gus aspect of this wanton invasion OF
the great Yosemite National park. II
is much to be hoped that the admins
tration will not consent to this need
less diversion of the park from its
proper objects, project which, by the
way, is strongly opposed by no less
practical an authority on the Sierra
than California's great naturalist. Johr
Muir. Once let commercialism into the
park, and there is no knowing what
ravages it will commit In the holy
name of franchise.

COACHING BLIND SENATOR.
How T. p. Gore of Oklahoma Studied
Senate and House Chambers.

Senator Elect Thomas ?. Gore of
Oklahoma, who is totally blind. visited
the capitol for the first time the other
day, says a Washington special dis
patch to the New York World. He was
conducted by friend to the Office Of
Colonel Ransdell. sergeant at arms Of
the senate, who left all his other du-
ties to escort Senator Gore through
the building. Colonel Ransdell indi-
Gated the location of the senate and
house chambers, the supreme court
chamber, the dome and the hall of the
statues of famous men.
Then Senator Gore wanted to get an
idea of what sitting in the senate
chamber would be like, of where the
presiding officers voice would come
from and of the environment so far as
it could be made clear to blind man.
Colonel Ransdell seated Senator Gore
in the rear and himself took the vice
presidents seat. from which he made
an Grafton. When Senator Gore had
mastered this point of hearing, he
ate chamber and was conducted to the
seats of well known senators by Colo.
mel Ransdell.
Senator Gore says that now he
knows his way about, and a friend of
his now in Washington says the sena.
tor will need practically no guidance
as his memory is marvellous.
