Whx 1881 Was Chosen,


In 1881 SO called prophecy of Moth
er Symptoms was in every ones mouth:
The world then to an end shall como
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
A travelling tailor denied inspiration
to this prognostic, nor, as now appears.
was it remarkable for accuracy. But
he went further. He demonstrated in
the dust of the road why that exact
date was chosen. Not only was it
cabalistic, a multiple Of nine, ETC.. but
1t was the only date available to Moth
err Shipton which in Arabic numerals
was the same backward, forward and
upside down. Eleven hundred and
eleven was past, and not till 1881 would
the coincidence recur. The next Moth
er Shipton will select S00S, which is
not tomorrow or next day-London

The Test OF FriendshIp.
In friendship, as in most matters, it
Is the little things that count. Not
promises Of eternal fidelity. but thought
fulness about trifies assures us that our
friend really cares for us. The one
who knows instinctively what subjects
Of conversation may be unpleasant to
us. what subject we do not like to hear
TESTED about, who. knowing too when
we wish to be silent, humors US in our
wish-that is the one with whom we
love to associate. We can never retain
a friend long II we are not willing to
take pains to find out his peculiarities
and respect them. l.

A slight change in the bill at the
Murray was made today when the act
of DECENTRALIZATION & Co. was added.
The act is classed as comedy gymnasts
of more than ordinary ability who at
no time force their comedy beyond the
bounds of good taste. Many of their
tricks are extremely difficult yet ease
and grace mark the entire offering.

"The GiassbloWers."

Much interest is bound to be cent
cred in the announcement that at the
Gennett theatre on Wednesday, Febru-
airy IL. John Cort, proprietor of
many theatres and a producer of mag
nitude, will offer The Glassblowers,
new lyrical comedy in three acts, for
which John Philip Sousa, the concert
master and composer has supplied the
score. In preparing the new work,
Sousa and his collaboration, Leonard
Liebling, writer of both humorous
and serious fiction, spent over two
years, before they felt their effort was
ready for the public's approval. "The
Glassblowers" is termed, a lyrical COM
edy, to distinguish it from the prevail
ing idea of either musical opera, or
comic opera.

Minneapolis-Made Music.

MADE in Minneapolis is a slogan
of the northwest When it was found
that Minneapolis could provide music
for a large section of the world as
we'll AS flour for nearly all of it, the
slogan spread.
The Minneapolis Symphony Orches-
ira has so far outgrown it's birthplace
that now only a small percentage Of
it's concerts are given in the home
city. 1t is a regular annual visitor to
New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffa-
10, Pittsburgh and more than a hum
dred smaller cities. This year it is
booked in Philadelphia and it's regular
itinerary doubtless will soon extend
from coast to coast.
No American orchestra has had a
history Of such a marvellous growth in
artistic stature and in fame as the
Minneapolis orchestra. Probably such
rapid growth would be impossible
elsewhere. The attainment of nation
wide and international fame in the
space Of single decade is a distinc-
ton that belongs alone to the Mime
apolis organization.

TARIFF BILL WILL

Congressman Underwood, House
Leader, Says Conference on
It Will Be Brief.

The new traifr bill will become law
before September Is.
This was the prediction today of
Congressman Underwood. Democratic
House leader and author of the original
measure. He expressed belief that not
more than a week or ten days would
be required for the Senate and House
conferees to get together" on the
Senate amendments.
Il do not believe that Congress can
adjourn before the middle of Septem-
ber." said Mr.. Underwood. II think
the House will have passed the cur
rcncy bill and agreed to the tariff bill
by that time. Whether the session con-
tinues later depends upon the course
the Senate adopts with respect to the
currency bill"
Underwood gave the impression that
few of the Senate changes in the tariff
bill would prevent a quick agreement
in conference. He accepts passage of
the currency bill by the House as a
settled program, but said no currency
caucus has yet been requested.
