The absence of the Eleventh United
States band from the Eagles parade


States band from the Eagles parade
this week was cause of considerable
regret, for with that fine band, when
is considered a local organization, lead
ing the parade, the multitude would
have gained even a better first impress
sion of the excellence Of the process
sion. But it happened that parties IN
terested in the local branch of the mu-
sicians' union decreed otherwise, and
a picked-up band was substituted. The
army band was barred because the mu-
sicians' union is opposed to marching
with non-union band in the line,
still the same band that did lead the
procession was made up of a miNtrue Of
union and non union players, as there
were not a sufficient number of COM
petent local union players, AZ there
the aggregation. Even a local band OF
amateurs that could not join the union
if they were so inclined were barred
from the procession, but non union
players were engaged by union men to
come and help ont for the day
The army band is the only organiza-
ton really worth the name in this city
or vicinity and therefore is not COM
petitor with any other fully equipped
brass band that is under the protec-
ton of the musicians union, as there
il no such rganization in the city.
The soldier band should have been al
lowed in the parade, even If conpar-
atiVely few men who play Instruments
occasionally and are engaged In some
would have been deprived OF few doll
lars for the DAYS service. Had the
Eleventh band been in line il would
have been a feature of the procession
that would have been appreciated by
many of the visitors who probably have
never seen A full-hedged United States
military band in regulation army uni
form.
1t is not believed that the action of
the committee in this matter had the
approval of the local Eagles, for IL is
not many years ago that this same or
ganization took the Niagara Engine
company band to parade with them in
the city of Providence. When opposi-
ton was made to the amateur band i'm
that city. at the instance of members
OF tile New London musicians union,
tine Eagles declared that they would
parade with the band or not al all.
There Was hoid-up and d hurried
investigation. and the New London
Eagles and the Niagara band fnarched
with the rest of the Eagles over the
regular line of march.

able to get together and form a strict

One of the Lost Ones.

The father of Senator Dolliver Of

One Sunday morning he was on his

to do good at any time, stopped his
horse and said: Good morning. my

A quaint story about guest who
1ad been invited to sup with Mr.. c.
q. Mccormick. the inventor of the
reaper, is told in the book Cyprus
Hall Mccormick"
"A very dignifed and self conferred
military officer was taking supper with
the Mccormick family. The first
course. as usual. was cornmeal musa
and milk 1t was served IN Scotch
fashion, with the hot mush in one
bowl and the cold milk in another
The practice was so to coordinate the
eating of them that both were finished
at the same time.
The officer planned his spoonfuls
badly and was soon out of milk. III
"Have some more milk to finish your
mush, colonel" said Mccormick. Sew
eral minutes later the colonePs mush
bowl was empty, at which McCormick
said. Have some more mush to finish
your milk" And so it went. with miik

How to Enamel Pantry Shelves

An excellent idea for pantry shelves
is to give them two coats of ordinary
white paint and then third finishing
coat of white enamel. AS soon as the
enamel dries wash it over with cold
water, and then it will harden quickly.
Do not cover these shelves with pa
per, but leave them bare and notice
the improvement. AS there are no coy
ers under which crumbs, ETC., can col
lect. there is nothing to encourage
mice. and the enamel is easily wiped
clean with a damp cloth.
