Lazyday.

Nothing at all to worry about
When the skies are warm and blue,
And the hours come drifting in and out
Cause there's not much else to do.
When the locust sings On the bending
bough
Where the leaf is green and still.
It Is Lazyday that Is with US now,
Let them call 1t what they will.
Mondays a day to doZe away;
A dream is Tuesdays quest;
Wednesdays the date for lettering play,
And Thursday for simple rest.
Friday. Saturday. Sunday, too.
For loafing il an excuse,
For it's Lazyday the summer through
And WORKINGS no more use

m the Baltimore American

Raltimoreans are music lovers TO the
very last man Of them. When the season
is In full jog they patronize concerts and
symphonies. operas and oratorios. When
the hot days come and the pulse of nature
is beating low and the senses appear to be
in a swoon, the Baltimorean is no less a
music lover than in the winter season.
He gets his music in the open. that is the
only difference. The park concerts. at
tracing many thousands to their melodic
menus every week. are. the center OF the
open-air musical program. Here under
the direction of a most capable leader
are rendered selections from the classic
writer's intermingied with lighter airs
and patriotic numbers. The music that
has enchanted the world for 200 years is
purveyed along with the latest compost
ton that may run its racy course
lived popularity and then be forgotten.

was unable 90 do &C first. Al last.
however. the examination was begun
on Tuesday OF last week. and &c was
made a joint one, Actuary Isaac Da-
venport being sent 90 look into the
books OF the order. while Examiner
C.. c. Barksdale was having a glance
at uhe bank.
BY the next day the condition OF
affairs had become so evident 20 the
examiners that the Bureau of Iusur-
ance ordered the officials OF the True
Reformers not 10 put any more money
belonging 90 the order on deposit
with the bank Since that day an
moneys belonging TO the order have
been placed in another bank. AS the
examination progressed &c was found
that while the books are not in such
condition as TO permit an accurate
statement 20 be made. the amount
due the order is approximately $685.,
100, OF which S274.OOO Is in depos

QUICK RESULTS

Apparently this letter flushed the
application for the receiver for the
bank. An order was issued also on
Tuesday morning by the State Cor
poration Comission, giving the bank
ten days within which TO make things
square, but this time did not expire
until Friday of next week. On the
afternoon of the day prior to the one
on which, in all probability. the IL
cense OF the insurance order would
have been revoked, a receiver was
asked for the bank Thereupon, for
the protection of the colored public
prompt action was taken by the de-
rartment.
