DIME.

Several days ago the editor of The
Cincinnati Times-Star received from a
reader the following significant request:
xviii you please state why Dixie,
when played by a band, always gets
more applause than anything else ?7-
COvington.
The answer which the editor returned
to this question is so significant Of the
change of sentiment which is taking
place in the popular mind at the North
toward the famous air and so full Of
courteous compliment to the South that
we can do less than publish in full the
reply of this broad-minded Northern
newspaper;
The remarkable enthusiasm which
Dixie nearly always arOuses in a crowd
of notwithstanding Americans, north
as well as south Of Mason and Dixon's
line, has been noticed by the average
American. In most cases, perhaps, he
does not take the trouble to figure out
the reason for this popularity, but he
is fully aware that it exists.
"Why is it that Dixie, when played
by band, always gets more applause.

The Democrat is pleased to note that
ROYAL c. Dunn, member Of the Florida
Railroad Commission, is making a
splendid record as an official. He has
9 head Of his own and performs his
duty without fear or favor, and is true
b tie people Of this state in the faith
ful performance Of his Official duties.
Mr. Dunn for 3 long time resided in
cur sister city. Madison, where for
yeas he was editor and proprietor Of
che Madison Recorder, and during his
residence at Madison he made many
friends throughout this section Of Flor
ida-friends Of long years standing
who know him to be a true, honorable
and able gentleman at all times and
under al circumstances.

than anything else!" Probably there
are several reasons. Certainly the sasp
and "eatehiness" Of the tune does not
altogether explain ''DiUe's', pOpu-
larity, althO duobltess it has muehto do
with it.
The enthusiasm for "Dixie" prOba-
bly, has in it something Of a tribute,
half unconscious, but still a tribute, to
the gallant losing fight of the South
during the Civil war. Fact or fiction,
moreover, has given the South an air
of romance that appeals to the man in
the street. One of our friends was
mean enough, when the popularity Of
'Dixie" was under discussion a few
days ago, to suggest that a Northern
belief in the "aristOeracy" Of the South
has something to do with the popularity
of Dixie" When the tune is played,
accOring to the pessimist, some people
in the average Northern audience al
ways applaud in the hope that the peO-
pie next to them will be struck by the
idea that in their veins run the best
blood of Virginia or the CarOlinas.
Perhaps again the popularity of
"Dixie" in the North is in part a trib-
ute from the vanishing AnglO-SaxOn Of
the Northern states to the still dOmin-
ant AnglO-SaxOn of the South. There
is no purer AnglO-SaxOn people in the
world today than the whites in the
Southern states of the Union. Lees
army of Northern Virginia was more
purely AnglO-Saxon than the army
which Marlboro commanded at Blen-
helm; than WellingtOn'S ''thin red
line" at Waterloo, or than the troops
which followed Roberts and Kitchener
in South Africa. In the North and
East the AnglO-SaxOn is being swal-
lowed up in the rush of newcomers
from the Old World. He has objected
mildly, if at all, to the prOcess-but

Suwannee county possesses that
which is necessary to make it the most
prosperous section of this grand state.
An that is needed is for the thousands
Of acres of wild lands to be converted
into fields of corn, cotton, vegetables,
etc. There is no better horticultural,
agricultural or live stock section in the
whole south, and the climatic cOndi-
tons, scenic attractions, mineral springs
and resorts, hunting and fishing are I'm
surpassed. Improved farms can be
bought here now at a very reasonable
price, and good productive wild lands
can be had from 81 to $40 per acre.
In very few years this whole county
will be settled up-nearly every acre
of land in the county can be cultivat-
ed-and there viii never be another

GETS BLACK
 HAND LETTERS
Police uuard Greenwich Italian Who
 Has Been Threatened.

Greenwich. March 18.-Peter Mitch ell, an Italian contractor of Mia.nus is being guarded day and night by constables because of Black Hand let ters.
 The letters were written in Italian and are postmarked New York, one mailed two weeks ago and the other the early part of this week. Both are signed "Black Hand'' and demand $1, 900.
 The police have given the New York police such data as they have It is understood that Mitchell went to the place where the money was to be left and acted as if he had followed the instructions in the letter, but no one was discovered.
 Mitchell was a friend of Petrosino. the murdered New York detective. MT. Mitchell came to Mianus many years ago and has been very successful in business. He changed his name to its present Anglicized form. He lives in a rather isolated place with his wife and three little children. His property adjoins the estate of H. O. Havemeyer.

RARE MUSICAL TREAT

Walter Damrosch's skill a, maker of interesting programs is well known to this public, but it must be admitted that he has surpa ssed himself in the treat which he offers in New Haven on March 24 in Woolsey hall when Mime. Fremstad, the great dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company will be heard in conjunction with the New York Symphony Orches- tra.
 In making her first appearance in New Haven Mime. Fremstad will have the advantage of being supported by the New York Symphony Orchestra under Walter Damrosch. In fact, Mr. Damrosch will play the piano accom- ,animents to a group of songs Mime. Fren.stad is to sing in addition to her two great arias, one from Don Gio- vani and probably an aria from Car men as an encore.
 The orchestra's contributions to the program are unusually attractive, in cluding Tschaikowsky's lively and pop ular Fourth Symphony, Beethoven's g Polonaise for string orchestra, and Rach's Gavotte in E. Major and MT. DamroSch's new concert transcription of the incident of Siegfried staying the Dragon from Wagners Niebelungen Ring The climax of the concert will be the grand finale from Tristan and Isolde by Mme. F'remStad and the or chestra.
 Seats may be ordered by mail now. Checks are to be made payable to Prof. Horatio Parker and addressed to 126 College street. New Haven.
