VIZ MAKE MuSIC ron WENICO
A. Least ws send Them the Instruments
They Play On.

According to the American Consul at
Monterey, Mexico. everybody In that sunny
land has a love OF music. The common
laborer who works all day paving the
streets may be found In the evening taking
a leading part in an orchestra playing
classic music. II Ia a poor house indeed
that has not some sort of musical instru-
mept.
But with all their love Of music they
almost never make musical instrument.
Cotton goods. nails. steel rails and various
other articles OF commerce are manu-
factured In Monterey. but as yet the Consul
In quoted by Musical America as saying that
n obodv has ever made guitar here except
perhaps. some lone genius who manu-
factured one for his own Use.
Guitars and mandolins are almost ex-
ol,lsiyelv imported from tho United States,
though some come from France and spain.
Germany Is supposed 20 bs the nome OF
ments used in this part OF Mexico come
from that country. though an insignificant
number come from the United states.
In pianos. OF which quite number are
sold there. the United States has the best OF
the trade, the balance going to Germany In
organs the United States IL practically
unrivalled In this country. very few OF these
Instruments In any grade coming from
Europe.
But there is one general class OF instru-
ments in which the United States might do
q good business. but IA yet does practically
none, and that Ii the Instruments which go
20 the furnishing Of brass band.
As vet not much has been done in this
country In the way OF printing sheet music.
Most OF the danzas. songs, &c. composed
by Mexican authors are sent abroad TO be
printed. and the German music publishers
get the most OF this,
Music houses In Monterey have sent soma
manuscript to American publishers. hoping
TO get their work returned more speedily.
but they complain that II takes about az
long to get IL from the United States as II
does to got Il frum Germany.

The operator pointed to a stack Of similar

HAS BEEN IN FAILING HEALTH

Chicago, March John AiexaIl-
der Dowie, erstwhile overseer of the
Christian Catholic church, died at s
O'Clock this morning at Zion City.
which he founded on the north shore
of Lake Michigan. His passing away
was not entirely unexpected. The
aged leader of the Zion sect had been
lin state of dissolution for months.
Beaten in later years for control OF
the great properties he originated,
1.-THE prophet failed in health. Seized
with fainting spell at midnight he
became delirious. He thought he was
holding religious services and died
apparently without pain.
Tho closing hours of Dowie's life
were marked by the bitterness of de-
feat and, humiliation. The sole COM
forter in his sick room was a black
guard he brought from the tropics.
His wife and son are at Muskegon,
Mich. Stunned by his former al
most idolatrous followers and isolat-
ed from those he trusted, the old man
chung weakly to the friendship Of
This small band of believers.

in the terrible cyclone that recently
swept over Washington. Ark. Mr..
Sykes was holding a Lenten service
in washington, which is one of his
charges, and concluded just before
the storm commenced. Had he

rain would have detained them at the
church, which in a short time was in
splinters. Several people were killed
just across the street from the church
in a building blown down. The house
where Mr.. and Mrs. Sykes were stop
ping had the windows and doors
blown out, but no one was injured.
The day had been oppressively warm
before the cyclone

MARKET LIYELIER
THAN FOR WEEKS

The market was we'll stocked this
morning with fruits and vegetables.
Almost all the early vegetables were
there and the people were buying,
too. For the past two weeks there
has been a hull, but this morning the
people were down with their baskets.
Apples, potatoes and such products
are getting scarce and the prices are
raising accordingly. Jonquils could
be had at two dozen for Is cents,
and potted plants were represented
by the pansies, which sold at 10 cents
a pot. Eggs dropped from 20 cents
ito 10 cents a dozen, and celery sold
at three large lunches for 20 cents
The weather had some effect on the
people but many braved the rain to
replenish their stores for Sunday.
