cdation of Musicians at st. Louis rela-
tive to the Washington dispatch print
ed in the eastern papers, Sept. = last,
giving a new ruling by the war de-
partment, refusing to recognize labor
unions in the controversy over compe-
tition by army bands with civilian Or
ganiZations, and only recognizing mu-
sicians as professional where they de-
pend entirely upon music for liHeli-
hood. Mr., Zimmerman's message read:
HAS secretary of war ruled adversely
TO the interest of civilian musicians
since October issue Of the international
Musici;ino Answer Mr.. Miller wired
a reply yesterday. stating, Secretary
of war can not. did not dare to ses
aside the law" The officers of the

higher percentage of strings than
has obtained in the large eastern or
chestras in the past, Theodore Thorn
as orchestra for instance. making the
percentage 90, while this arrangement
is nearly "a per cent, However. the
proportion of brass and wood winds is
sufficiently strong in this latter divis-
ion. and the preponGerance of tho
strings is likely rather to produce q
pleasing effect. The matter will be
carefully studied by Conductor Nc

Walter. Sims. the veteran clarinetist.
and woodwind soloist in the Symphony
orchestra has resigned. as he finds
that his Orpheum duties necessitate
giving his entire time in that direction.
The conductor and members of the or
achestra generally regret very much
Mr.. Sims departure. as he is most
valuable man. His place will be filled
. by L. A. Engberg. the well known
#and promising young vittuoso while
the second clarinet will be played by
A. Is. Kelson. There are four cellos. but
there is a Likelihood of a fifth in Miss

herself at local musical entertainments.
Present indications suggest bright
future for the Symphony.

TO sing at the same time With her. One
day Gerster saw q poster With PATHS
name on it larger and blacker than
hers. whereupon she disappeared and
was not found for two or three days.
Patti declared that Gerster had the
evil eve, and that when they reached
San Francisco she would probably
cause an earthquake. Gerster. however,
got back handsomely. for when she saw
the governor of Missouri kiss Patti. she
quietly observed in PATHS hearing
that there was no harm in Il mans
kissing a woman old enough to be his
mother. They spoke no more, but re-
garded each other haughtly from
distance, Whenever Gerster's name
was mentioned. Patti would make the

methods of displaying her tender re-
gard for Patti. Mnpleson declared
that the episode was one OF the worst
he had experienced in career which
was as liable to cSclonic disturbances
as a. Kansas prairie.

For the information of the members
of both the festival chorus and the
Choral society Mr. Graham desires to
state that these singing bodies are sep
aratc and distinct. and that the Choral
society is not considered as the festi-
val chorus This il one reason why Mr.
Graham will reduce the membership
of the Festival chorus to 40 or 60 voices,
So that there will be field for both
choruses in this city.
Members of the Festival chorus are
being notified to register their names
with Mr.. Graham. that a meeting may
be called soon, for the purpose of know
ing the pleasure of the chorus members
regarding the coming festival, All
members who have not received notice
should take this as their notifications;
that their names be handed in to MI.
Graham before the 18th of November II
they intend remaining with the chorus
ANY member whose musical ability
might be questioned will be obliged to
