TRAD NG THE PEOPLE'S MUSIC Singing Classes as Educators for the Masses. GREAT SUCCESS IN NEW YORK Astoria Might Follow Suit With Ad vantage So Says a Local Musician. That music is an educator and a reilncr Is exemplified oguiln in the :eulta ob tained by the People's Singing Classes in Ne'iv York City. The New ork Tribune says in regard to this work: "It has been generaiy agreed by stu dent's of music that one of the potent influences in beihallf of mvusdcUll cUture in any community is a 'Widespread Cove and practice df choral imiustc among the mis-es of the people.

Sohkibe's factory on Ninth street now employs a dozen men and boys and is turning out a thousand cigars a day. Half a dozen different grades are produced but oil are hand mado and Ciiean, and Astorlanw may be sure that they are using only pure tabaoco when they smoke any of thftm. To on Astorlan representative Mr, Schlebe stated In reily to numctrous questions, tliat he Imported his leaf for fl.Ier for the beat grude of goods is clear flier for the best grade of goods Is clear Havana. Two varltetifs of wrapper are used.
