Even ancient Denmark is advo

There are several Hamlets in the
Danish Islands we are about to buy,,
but they are neither sweet nor philo

President'smessage was too preachy,
although there was considerable
ginger in it.
Mrs. Bonine continues to be the
only person in the world who knows
what did occur on the night in ques

The jury in the Bonin case will
simply have to find that the victim
is dead, and let it go at that, for
nothing else has been proven.
Shem and Japheth's descendants

INNES AND HIS BAND.

House in This City, on
January 8th.
Innes, who comes here with his
band on the 8th of January ,is one
of the bora musicians. He has
been either io or leading a band
nearly all his life. When he was
a lad in EDgland, he used to fol
low the gorgeously uniformed
band known as Her Majesty's

that this man held, his ambition

would be settled for life.
He ic-
duced his father
to
buy him a
trombone and when he tried to
play it he was the laughing stock
of the neighborhood. He tackled
popular airs and pathetic bits,
when the instrument was only
meant for percussionary effects.
Yet he determined to get music
out of that welded mass of brass,
and he did. He, not knowing any
better, continued to "blow him-

When Gilmore brought him to

but was little known here. Inside

ushered in an entirely new era
in band music. When it plays
here at the Messenger Opera

of this will be plain to music
