ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1.-THE store and

grocer at 5115 Wilson avenue, were
blown to atoms at an early hour this

tary, and r. B. Jones, treasurer. Each
music lover and musician in the city
has promised his or her support.
A general meeting will be held on
next Thursday evening and at this
meeting further details will be worked
out 1t is probable the program, at
least tentative one, will be reported
then. AS generally outlined Thursday
evening, the selections will be largely
instrumental and vocal numbers by To-
cal soloists, and the Richmond Sym
phony Orchestra.
Since almost boyhood Mr.. Clark.
who is now living on South Fifth
street, has devoted his entire atten-
ton to the manufacture Of the deli
cate musical instrument. In many of
his violins he has turned out what
many violinists regard as the perfect
instrument His violins are highly
priced and some valued very highly.
Few violinists will part with their in
struments which are the product of
Mr.. Clark. For this reason there are
now hardly any on the market. AL
though he still finds his greatest en-
ioyment in making violins Mr.. Clark's
infirmities preclude the possibility OF
him making a living by his beloved
art.

Members of Uniform Rank, X. of

candidacy of this city, and now all
that remains is for Richmond business

Among the companies strongly urg-

third regiment. The Quaker City was
boosted from the time the third regi-

to pitch Its camp, until the stakes
were pulled. No other city put in a
strong bid because they were silenced
