It ts composed of the leading members of the famous Pittsburg Orchestra, which under such emi nent conductors as Frederick Archer, Victor Herbert and Dr. Emtt Paur, has achieved International rertjjwn. Mr. Radcliffe has been fortunate in securing with the orchestra the services of such soloists as Fran. Kohler, violinist, and Frits Goerner, cellist, who have toured with the principal orchestras of Europe as well as those of America and have played under such well-known di rectors as Edward Lassen. Richard Btrausaf Walter Damrosch, Victor Herbert and Emil Paur. The vocal artists from Nw York Cltv who hnve been enframed for this occasion have sung in nearly all the great music festivals throuphout the United Slates and Canada. Miss Florence Hinkle, the soprano, la the possessor of a beautiful voice of a quality which frequently reminds one of the famous Tetrazlnnl. Miss Hinkle was chosen to succeed Mme. Anlto Rio as soloist In the choir of Marble Collegiate church, New York City, a church famous throughout the country for Its excellent music. Miss Adah Campbell Hussey. the contralto, has studied under the best teachers of America and Europe and her rich, powerful voice, coupled with a high order of dramatic ability, has won for her a most enviable position. Mr Edward Strong, the tenor, and Mr. Frederick Martin, the basso, are both members of the famous quartette choir of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, of New York City, said to be the highest salaried quartette choir of America. . Each of these great singers ha won a national reputation both In concert and festival engagements Mr Strong's voice is a pure 1 r c tenor of most beautiful quality, while of Mr. Martin It ha. been truly eaid that he Ib not equaled by any other basso of America. f.-.tval The programmes for s festival, which will be announced in detail Jter are superb and insure a rich musical treat that will never be for gotten by those attending.

While the Owner of One Really Lfwe It. "The inhibitions of State an4 local prohibition law," remarked a thoughtful man. "have not yet been able to produce a state of absolute deaiccalluti in this city on Saturday nigrvt. Trie average citizen would cer tainly think so, for within his sphere, on strerts and In places of business or of amusement, he would not likely seer any contrariwise signs at all. But through Hie long and dreary or swift wine'l hours (according to the sort of t.me you are having), the local po lice are gathering in one by one those who have eaned to drink mineral wa ter exclusively and every little bit added to what they've got makes Just a litye bit more And taken as a col lection, the pile of warrants is an elo quent testimony to human fallibility, both as to self-control and as to at tempts to force self-control. The names have no news value, so let them pass, sufficing it to say that more wau a dozen pieces of flotsam ani jetsam float in at ths end of week of toil. Saturday night differs little In trinsically from any other, except for : the universal knowledge that 'to-morrow' Is to be an almost universal hol iday. This t the thought winch looses the bonds of restraint, whioh nils the streets with pushing throngs, Im pregnated with the wanderlust. "The streets gieam white with brightness and all the world is gay. Afterward come the awakening perhaps In unfamiliar quarters, the vari-colored taste, the head which sevms quite somebody's else, the pain ful realization that the story of Adam h3 been at ain for the forty-first time been re-enacted in one's own life, the struggle for bond and then, perhaps, frtedom again. "It is one of the Ironies of fate (ani he is an ironical scamp almost al ways) that the very persons least able to be visited with the penalties of the law bear Its heaviest burdens. The nuiu with a princely Income, to whom a $10 fine would be a mere bagatelle, goet through life enjoying himself In whatever way his fancy pleases and never contributes a penny to the city or State treasury through the medium of the courts While doing the things which get others In trouble, he yet 'does them like a gentleman' and not in such a manner as to brlna; him un der the surveillance of the law. If he rambles he dees it in private, per hapfc with wife and friends ejound the Preside, where the authorities have no means of enforcing the law. "On the ether hand the man who lives In a house to which a carpet Is a stranger, without a picture on a wall; the man whose weekly wages sre gone for household necessities before the mld dls of the week, whose children per haps will not go to school because of lack of clothes and fear of the heart less Jibes of snobbish playmates this man, to whom a dollar looks as large s a wagon wheel, is the one who, tiititt after time, is dragged into court for excessive drinking, for gambling, and similar Infractions. A former United States Senator some months S in admitting that the Standard Oil Company Is a powsVful influence In the politics of the country, said that this was right, being but the reward to which intelligence is entitled. That principle partly explains this condi tion, since the richer man uses bet ter Judgment as to when anJ how he en;cys himself. Meanwhile, the poor ("evil who has only ons talent ylelaa that up in fines and costs." DEATH OF MR. MOSES THOMAS.
