DROPS THE UNEMPLOYED"

Democratic senators took opportunity
this afternoon in the Senate to dig the
ribs of the republicans for keeping on
the pay rolls employees who do no work.
The opportunity came when Senator
Lodge offered a resolution proposing to
abolish the offices designated as 'su-
perintendent of the folding room. AS
sistant postma ster," clerk compiling a
history of revenue and appropriation
bills" unemployed messenger and an
unemployed laborer.
Senator Burton. republican, started
the discussion by remarking that he un-
derstood The changes on the pay rolls
were not to take effect until August l.
| and he objected to present consideration.
Senator Lodge explained that il was SIM

Advances Another Proposition.
| When the discussion closed. Mr.. Lodge
| proposed another resolution declaring

made chief clerk at a salary of 81. 500 and
the man who is now assistant postmaster
shall be made messenger at the card

ROYAL WELSH LADIES CHOIR
TO ENTERTAIN LOCAL MUSIC
LOVERS Next MONTH At PARK

Welsh music as produced by the
Mountain Ash male chorus in this
city few weeks ago proved 10 be
one of the most popular departures
ever tried in this city The company
of singers that gave the well-remem-
bered entertainment was entirely
masculine. Just what the ladies of
Wales can do in the same line, Grand
Junction people can judge when the
Royal Welsh Ladies' choir make their
first appearance here January s.
This famed company of feminine
musicians comes under the auspices
of the Woman's club of this city. Like
the Mountain Ash choir it has sung
before royalty many times and has
achieved an enviable reputation in in
ternational musical circles.
Welsh music will not predominate
but the ladies will deliver several
folk songs in the vernacular while
the remainder will be the best pop
ular and classical compositions of the
time Their remarkable ensemble
work has brought praise from all
quarters and the solo numbers have
attracted attention wherever they
have appeared.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will go to the benefit of the Carnegie
library.
