Beach in 1899. Adolph Rosenbecker was chosen con ductor. Sixty concerts were given tthe first season, the Orchestra visit ing1 many important cities, including St Louis, Cincinnati, St Paul, Min neapolis, Detroit, i Louisville, Nash ville and Memphis. The following season the same section of the coun try were visited and an equal num ber of concerts given. In the spriug of 1901 a Festival Tour was made, the Orchestra being accompanied by a number of eminent solists, and so successful were these festivals, both artistically and financially, that each season since, tours have been made, extending from Montreal, Canada, to San Antonio, Texas. The season of 1902 the Orchestra made a tour to the Pacific coast, giv ing one hundred concerts, and visit ing every important city in the west. Starting by way of St Paul, Omaha and Denver where a three-day Music Festival was held; thence to Salt Lake City and the extreme northwest, appearing at Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia? Tacoma, Seattle and Portland, thence south to San Francisco, where five concerts were given. The San Francisco Press spoke in the highest terms of the Orchestra,-declaring nothing better had been heard in that city since the eighties , when Theodore Thomas gave the well-remembered series in Mechanic's Pavilion. Concerts were given in . Sacramento, San Jose and the Leland Stanford University at Palo Aljo. Los Angeles was next visited, and a series of three concerts given, the Orchestra returning by way of El Paso, San Antonio, Galves ton, Houston, Dallas and Kansas City. ' During the season of 1903 among the important engagements filled was a series of eighteen concerts in a "Cycle of British Music Festivals," extending from Halifax to Vancou ver, under the direction of Sir Alex ander MacKenzie, and the manage ment of Mr. Charles A. E. Harriss. The towns visited included Toronto, London, Hamilton, Ottawa and Mon treal. Under trying conditions the Orchestra made a most excellent im pression, and was engaged for a Can a idan tour the following season. For the past four seasons the Or chestra has made extended tours to the principal Canadian cities, and on two occasions as far south and west as Texas. Many of the leading musi rat cities and festival centers have visited, and one series given at the 1 Chicago Auditorium. The attend ance at this series was extremely gratifying and to such extent as to make it practically self-supporting. In (he spring of 1907 the Orchestra made a second tour to the Pacific coast, appearing at the principal points, as Salt Lake City, Sacramento Leland Stanford University, Univer sity of California, San Francisco, Fresno, Los Angeles; returning via Tucson, the seat of University of Arozona.

Howell, of Havana, Cuba, Recommends Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "As long ago as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy, but never in my life have I real ized its true value until now," writes Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba. "On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very severe cold, the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him .in the arms every moment Even then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning. At last I thought of my mother's remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it afforded prompt re lief, and now, three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the cir cumstances I would not hesitate a moment in saying that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and that only, saved the life of our dear little boy."

LATEST 111 SyiTIUGS Having returned from San Francisco with a splendid stock of spring and summer suitings of the latest style and having spent several weeks in studying the fashions prevalent in that city, we are now more than ever in a position to give thorough satisfaction to the most fastidious dresser. NOT IN WORDS, BUT IN DEEDS. HAUTALA & RAITANEN Tailors, Corner Eleventh and Bond Streets That transatlantic liner a quarter of a mile long wil shortly he seen in New York's harbor is no longer a dream of the imagination but a prov- STEAMSHIPS 1000 FEET LONG en reality. Record breaking steam- ships have become so numerous of late that it is difficult to keep track of them. The performance of a 25 knot boat is already dimmed by the prom ise of one to make thirty knots, and th seven hundred foot liner consider ed as a leviathan a few weeks ago is now dwarfed by the announcement of a ship to exceed 1000 feet in length, for the construction of which prepar ations are already under way. Al ready too are marine experts outlin ing the quarter mile long liner whose arrival is only dependent on the com pletion of necessary channel harbor and docking facilities. That these monster ships when they arrive will greatly reduce the best running time is not expected but in every other way they will introduce innovations of an . . . mi u t . amazing character, iney win nave real daily papers and ticker service too for brokers who cannot afford to get out of touch with the market. Because of their great length they will be equipped either with diminu tive trolly cars or moving side walks to carry passengers about the boat. Elevators will of course care for the vertical travel. There will be cable offices aboard to say nothing of after noon concert, " vau'deville perfor mance and opera. There will be tailor shops, boot shops, haberdash ers and jewelers' shops notions coun ters and facilities for stock trading. In short the quarter mile long liner will be in every respect a complete floating city a marvel undreamed of cither in size or equipment only a few years ago. NEW YORK, Mar. 14.-On the sixth of next April New York, in a monster pageant, will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the advent of her first automobile, for it is just a single decade since the then ridiculed horse less carriages obtained a precarious foothold, or rather a whel hold, in this city. The tremendous growth of its use, however, is evidenced by the fact that today there are regularly in operation on the city streets more than 22,000 autos valued at $44,000,- 000. This tenth birthday of the auto will be one of the most remarkable celebrations which the city has ever known, resembling more than any thing else a Mardi Cras carnival. ' It will extend through an entire week and will include a great variety of events. There will be automobile parades, races, hill -climbing contests, tugs of war, dinners, dances, tourna mcnts, tricks and everything else that can be imagined. There will be ex hibitions of automobile squadrons be longing to single owners, for there are at least thirty men in the city who possess more than twenty autos apiece and more than 250 who find that at least ten cars are necessary to their needs. The most spectacular feature of all will be a night parade of more than 10,000 cars decorated with Japanese lanterns and separated into four divisions. First wil come the earlv specimens and then in classi fied groups those of later vintages. 1 Finally there will be a king and a Father Knickerbocker is not sport ing any diamonds at present for never since this city became a center for the gem trade have the imports of these precious stones falen so low. For the five weeks just ended dealers here imported only $379,974 worth of brill- iants a mere trifle when compared to the sum of $4,535,175 representing the value of similar import for the same period last year. There i little demand for these stones as a result of the panic although the pawn shops arc filled with them. So far has this effect been felt that there is a noticeable diminution of the former glitter along Broadway in cafes and theaters. New York is literally dia mond poor and anyone who has a few dollars tucked away in a stock ing can pick up stones with surpris ing cheapness. But in the mist of all this "Diamond Jim" Brady, the Rajah of the Crcat White Way, continue to scintillate without diminution like a walking jewelry store window.. The offulgcncc of this remarkable person who wears the stones which have made him famous, as would other persons common bone buttons, is to put it mildly, dazzling. Diamond studs, stick pins, cuff buttons, waist coat buttons, fobs and the like, arc the least among his bediamonded possessions, among which are dia mond h aded canes and umbrellas, diamond rhoe butons, diamond hand led pocket knives and diamond; set cigar and cigarette holders. He is the nearest approach to a walking diamond mine which this city knows, and his decorations of this sort arc worth a large fortune. So numerous are his jewels indeed that he employs a "diamond valet" to do nothing but look afteMhcm. The . excitement throughout the country over anarchist outrages and reported plots has been reflected here during1 the week in p lively discus sion of various immigration prob lems since most anarchists of the bomb-throwing kind are of foreign birth, The, National 'Liberal , Immi gration League took up the subject at its meeting here and advocated the deporation of aliens who commit crime whether they have been in this country less than three years, as the law now reads, or longer. The League is also in favor of govern ment aid for the distribution of kv borers, both native or foreign born, from the congested districts of the big cities to regions where labor is more in demand. PERSONAL MENTION J. G. Johnson, of Seaside, was a business visitor in this city yesterday. Mrs. W. E. McAfee, who has been ill with la grippe is reported to be convalescing rapidly, Dr. Linton came over from War rcnton yesterday on a business quest and returned on the evening train. Mrs. Norman A. Marrs, formerly of this city, is reported to have just issued safely from a seriously opera tion for appendicitis at Seattle, and is recovering nicely. For the Woman That'a Fat A Detroit physician says that the cheapest and safest mixture a fat woman who wants to get thin can use is one-half ounce Marmola (get it in the original half-ounce package), one half ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic and three and one-lintf ounces Syrup Simplex. The proper amount to take is a tcaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. These ingredients may be obtained from any druggist at small cost and make a combination that is not only excellent as a fat reducer, being able, it is claimed, to take off a pound a day without causing wrinkles, but is also a splendid help to the system as a whole, regulating the stomach and bowels (where the fat persons troubles begin), and clearing the skin of pimples and "blotches. No exercise is required to help the remedy in its work and, best of all, no dieting is necessary while takng it you can eat what you like. 17 on the Green B. P. O. E.
