Friends of William F. Jocher, who
was for a considerable time during his
residence in Honolulu, the successful
leader of the Symphony orchestra, will
be glad to learn of his musical sue
cess in the east. The following from
the Philadelphia North American tells
of his selection to lead the combined
band of 5000 musicians at the annual
EFks gathering:
Yesterday, though day of rest,
was a day of enforced activity for the
committee which has charge of the ar
rangements for the reception and en-
tertainment of the great army of Wis
itors who will participate in the Grand
Lodge session and reunion of the
Benevolent and Protective Order Of
Elks, which will be held in this city
July Is to 90.
ut is the opinion of those who are
in the best position to know of the
great interest manifested by Elks
throughout the country in the forth
coming celebration that Philadelphia
is not yet fully alive to the vast pro-
portions it is likely to assume, though
thorough realization of it's fmpor-
lance is shown by leading business
men and public officials.
''One of the committee said yester
day that this convention viii be the
greatest ever held by any organization
in this country.
"a new, picturesque feature of the
festivities will be the gathering of all
the visiting bands of music en- masse
in the Court of Honor, near the City
Hall, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings of the
festival week. On these occasions
there will be a grand concert by the
combined bands, numbering 5000 mu
sicians under the leadership of one di-
rector. Professor William F. Jocher.
Promptly at 1853 p. m. all the
lights on the City Hall and in the
Court of Honor will be extinguished,
to blaze out again grandly one minute
later at precisely II p. m. The instant
the sudden illumination occurs the
massed band of 5000 pieces will wake |

''fazy," says a writer in the San Fran
cisco News Letter. He peppers his
diatribes against the smart set with
LAZY" and punctuates his ordinary
conversation with that same aceusa-
ton.
As a matter of face, the word 'lazy''

so soon falls out of step with the

it makes old Father Time dizzy to audit

Lazy. Ever since the morning stars

The genuine society girl knows that
laziness spells flesh. and flesh is the
particular abomination of this attenu-

of fat travel hand in hand, and the
society woman fees in trepidation from
the penalty laziness must pay. If the
demands of society, with its teas, din

sufficiently discouraging to the accu-
mutation of flesh, the society woman
grits her teeth and goes in for ath-
