The Symphony Orchestra in its
Ninth Year.
HAS SIXTY-FIVE PERFORMERS
Will Make Its Third Tour of the Pa
cific Coast This Season Including
Seattle and Portland An Oratorio
Quartet Will Accompany Orchestra
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra
was organized by Chas. 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. El Paso. Ft Worth. Okla
homa City, and Kansal City, after
which a number of May Music Fes
ttvals were filled.
The Orchestra, now in its ninth
year, has been augmented to 65 mem
bers, and has been engaged for
third tour to the Pacific coast The
important Colorado points, Salt Lake
City Spokane, Pullman, the seat of the
State College of Washington, Seattle,
the University of Washington, Port
lands University of Oregon at Eu
gene, has already secured the Or
chestra. The important cities in
California, Arizona and Texas and
Kansas will be visited. The Univer
sity of Illinois has engaged the Or
chestra for this year's Festival, the
fourth consecutive season; Knox
College, at Galesburg, for the sixth
engagement at that point
Jan Van Oordt, the well-known
Dutch violinist, will return to Ameri
ca and take up again the post of Con
certmeister and Soloist Franz Wag
ner remains with tne Urcnestra as
first cellist and assistant conductor.

musician and director, has been secur

Prof. H. A. 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." For
sale by Frank Hart and leading druggists.

That transatlantic liner a quarter

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.

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.
