Good Music in tho West.
From the Naw York Himas

There Is no more encouraging sign OF
the times than the development Of good
musical taste throughout this republic.

this fact. THIS Organization of So skilled
musicians has been kept together for five
years by a subsidy of 6 5000 yearly, pro-
vided by ,public-spirited citizens, with SO
good results that the arrangement will be
continued for another term of five years.
But more gratifying than Its success In
Minneapolis, where there is a abundance
of wealth and culture, is the result of this
through Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska and Kansas in which
nightly concerts were given in cities With
populations ranging from 1000 to 100, 900.
No concessions were made in the pro

Of the tour were $4,000. Considering the
large expenses of such an undertaking..
this showing is remarkable.

LETTERS REVEAL TASTES

Berlin. Special: Eleven hitherto I'M.
published letters Of Richard Wagner
have come to light in connection with
the Wagner memorial exhibit, now
being held in The municipal museum
Of history at Leipsic. All were writ
ten by the famous composer between
1854 and 1871 to his wine dealers. They
show that he liked good wine, and that
sometimes he had trouble in paying for
1t. The first letter, written in Munich
In November, 1854, Is typical OF all. He
addressed the dealer as most honored
sir" hanks him for the last shipment,
and continues:
Il beg you to renew as soon as pos
sible my supply by a considerable
consignment of half bottles Of the table
wine. From go to 100 bottles Of each
variety would about meet my needs.
Regarding payment, will you have the
k1ndnes to state your wishes. In
general 1t best suits my financial cir
cumstances to make a large payment
on a fixed day; this is easier than to
make smaller payments at indefinite
periods. You need have no uneasiness
If the reckoning climbs a bit, since the
peculiar character of my income makes
1t Easy for me to have a large sum at
my disposal at one time"
In June, 1867, Wagner ordered $50
bottles of red n the same amount OF
white wine, and in November Of the
same year another supply, but this
time in casks, since he was IL Luz
cerne, where wine in bottles is made
u~ntninkably dear by the cantonal
tariff"
In October. 1869, Wagner wrote to
his most honored sir and friend"
begging more time on an account. The
following April he again made ex-
cuses for failure to pay, and in Octo-
Der he was again forced to asked for
an extension.
The firm evidently granted the re-
quest, for Wagner wrote in January,
1871, from Lucerne. expressing his
thanks and continuing naively:
Tin order to maintain our business
connections, I wish you would send
me a cask (about 45 gallons) Of the
wine which I drink SO regularly"
This Is the last Of the IL letters.

paid the bill does not appear,

A novelist could find plenty Of ma
terial of human interest in the story
of the Gideon bibles. Here is an I'M
commonly dramatic n on file at
Gideon headquarters in Chicago:
"A wife and children were on the

cynical, half curious moment of a pass
ing fancy. Alone here in the room, I
became interested before I realized.
The minutes passed and I read on un-

upon me that I had an appointment I
looked at my watch. 1t was an hour

Pertinent to current discussions of
the life Of a young women in big cities

Last night, after fighting the fight
that every young woman with n APP

The hotel keepers approve, although

Red Bottles for Milk.
From Knickerbocker Press.

~" NIUII HAIIChGTUOCkVI fTVSS. y
The discovery is said to have been
made that milk kept in red bottles will
remain sweet and pure longer than
when kept in plain glass or other col
ored bottles Experiments have been
made with the spectrum to determine
which Of the rays Of light affect milk
and 1t has been found that it Is the
rays toward the violet and Of the
spectrum hat do the mischief. The
red ray is stronger and more pene-
trating and probably has some neutral
izing effect upon the Tactical miccrobe.
If experiments confirm the theory that
the red bottle preserves the milk bet
ter than the bottle now in use the red
bottle should be adopted generally.
Such a change will create a new set Of
