ing the tremendous Wagner, who over-shadows the world of music like a .col-ossus, will be Interpreted In many of hisvariant moods. This will be the lastpurely Wagner program and £. great out-pouring of the Wagnerites—whose name islegion these days—is certain.

Wednesday afternoon willbe devoted toItalian classics—the gems of Donizetti,Bellini, Cherubini and Rossini that clus-ter so richly in the Sorrentino repertory.

Wednesday evening comes the climax ofthe week—Sorrentino night. The pro-gram will be constructed especially toillustrate the creative genius of thisfavorite maestro. A brilliant and at-tractive feature of It will be the appear-ance as a soloist of Maud Ulmer Jones,the favorite and foremost soprano in Min-neapolis. Mrs. Jones, as a compliment tothe great leader, will sing his beautifulsong, "Mine, Still Mine." She has beenrehearsing this composition with the bandunder Signor Sorrentino's own direction,and It goes without saying that the ac-companiment of the band will be so con-trolled and subordinated as to give her•wonderfully pure and sympathetic voicesupport without marring its effect. Npone understands better than Sorrentinohow to play a band accompaniment—which in passing it may be said Is a mostdifficult art. Another pleasant feature ofSorrentino night will be the presentationto the maestro of a beautiful medal as atestimonial from his friends and ad-mirers. The great leader has manymedals bestowed upon him at differentepochs in his career, among them onefrom the Kaiser Wilhelm and another be-stowed upon him during his 1599 engage-ment at Harriet. But it is safe to saythat in his entire collection there is nonethat he will more highly esteem than thatto be given him with due ceremony jWednesday evening.

Thursday afternoon there will be an- •other popular program and in the eveningthere will be a novelty in the shape ofa German program. This will introducethe band in a new light and will showthfet however much the players loveItalian music, they are musicianly enoughto give the masterpieces of other nationsa wonderfully sympathetic interpretation.Friday afternoon and evening, the grandfarewell concerts as already stated will j

Attractions at Como.

The Minnesota State band will enterupon its fifth week at Como Park. Theseason has been remarkably successful,and the music provided is generally re-garded of a first-class character. To-morrow's concerts, will be of tho usualSunday order, to meet the tastes of thelarge throng that congregates at Como.

There is a selection from "BohemianGirl" in the afternoon. Several marchos,waltzes, medleys and a characteristic,"The Dawn of Love," make up the after-noon's offering. The evening program isa litle heavier. It includes the ever-popular "William Tell" overture. JohnHanson will give a trombone solo, andtwo new pieces are to be played: "TheMosquito Parade," by Whiteney, and a ragtimer, "Cocoanut Coons," by Cnarles Ol-son, a young Minneapolis musician. Aselection from "The Fortune Teller" andthe potpourri, "Sweet Inniscara," mayalso be noted. .

Three special concerts willbe given nextweek. Tuesday evening there will be aG. A. R. program, given at the request ofprominent G. A. R. men of the twincities. Its numbers will be of the patri-otic order, and all encores will be takenfrom the repertory played at the G. A. R.national encampment la3t year. Wednes-day evening there is another request con-cert. The first part will consist of theworks of Verdi; the second, selectionsfrom the compositions of Wganer. Fridayevening the American composer is to havehis turn in what is to be a "popular Amer-ican concert."

Fun at Wildwood.

The engagement of the Miller family ofaerialists will conclude with to-morrow'sperformances at Wildwood. They havegiven two performances daily for threeweeks. Amusement Manager Hays willhave other similar attractions to announcebefore the end of the Wildwood season.

The six new bowling alleys have beenthoroughly tested. They are the best oftheir kind, involving an outlay of $2,500The alleys are in the old pavilion, aroundwhich runs the roller coaster. With thesealleys, Wildwood is at the head of thelist for equipment among the pleasureresorts of the northwest. Other featuresto be noted are: Water toboggan, watergymnasium, roller coaster.electric railway,bathing equipment, dancing pavilion, rowboats and steamers.

Professor Kasten is having excellentsuccess with his field and water sports.On Wednesday and Saturday afternoonsanother series of events will be pulled off.These will be for adults, and ?40 in prizeswill be distributed.

Professor C. H. Ross, who has chargeof the swimming department, has beenkept very busy. He gives free swimminglessons to all patrons of Wildwood.

The Wolff and Barrett orchestra willgive concerts to-morrow afternoon.

THREE GOOD REASONS.Albany Argus.

A Scottish minister who was indefatig-able in looking up his folk one day called1 upon a parishioner. "Richard," he said,

| "I hae na seen ye at the kirk for some? time, and wad like to know the reason."

"Yv'eel, sir," answered Richard, "I hadthree 'decided objections to goin.' Firstly,I dnna believe in being whaur ye does a'the talkin;' secondly, I dinna believe insi' muckle singin,' an,' thirdly, an' inconclusion, 'twas there I got my wife."

THEATERS.BILLS OF THE WEEK

"Uncle Tom's Cubln" at the Met-ropolitan.

"UNCLE TOM'S Commencing -withto-ruorrow evening's

CABIN." performance at theMetropolitan, David

H. Hunt's Pike Theater company willproduce "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on a mostelaborate scale. "Uncle Tom" seems tohave taken on a new lease of life since itwas revived at the Acadamy of Music,New York, last spring, where it was pre-sented for a number of weeks to record-breaking business. It was later presentedat the Auditorium theater, Chicago, tothe same kind of business that greetedits New York presentation, and sincethat time it has been revived by the ma-jority of the leading stock organizationsthroughout the country with the same un-varying success. When the play wasdramatized from Harriet BeecherStowe's famous story it immediately tookprecedence among the many successes ofthe stage, making such an impression atthe old National theater- on Chathamstreet, New York, that it ran at thathouse for almost three years. "UncleTom's Cabin" was given to the public ata time when all civilized humanity washesitating between its prejudices and theestablished modes of thought. ManagersHunt and Scott have had in contemplationa big revival of this play for some timeand elaborate preparations have beenmade toward this end. Seenically, theproduction of the play at the Metropoli-tan will be on a scale of magnificencefar ahead of that of any former presen-tation of the piece in this city, and thebig cast of the Pike company will belargely augmented in order to present theplay in a thoroughly adequate manner.There will be the usual Wednesday andSaturday matinees.

LOVERS' "Lovers' La n c,"the Clyde Fitch

Mr. Fitch for Sol Smith Russell andwhich, when ill health % compelled Mr.Russell's retirement from the stage, wasrewritten for production by the Wm. A.Brady's company contains plenty of goodhonest sentiment and good, wholesomehumor and will undoubtedly repeat themarvelous success of "Way Down East."The present engagement in Chicago willclose early in August and the play withall the original equipment will be senton a tour of the country. Minneapoliswill probably be one of the first citiesvisited.

SETTLING A DAMAGE SUITThe Enterprising- Lawyer Reached a

Ready Compromise.

New Orleans Times-Democrat."When I first put out my shingle," said

a New Orleans lawyer, putting his heelson the desk for a little chat, "Imade upmy mind firmly that I would allow no op-portunity to pass me by on account ofdiffidence. No matter when I saw a chanceto improve the situation, I promised my-self that I would nail it on the spot—or asnear the snot as possible.' Well, I wasstill full of this youthful and very ad-mirable enthusiasm when something—itwasn't business—caled me to Washing-:ton, and on the way up our train met withan accident. It happened just about dusk,and was not very extensive, confined, infact, to the derailing and upsetting of oneempty day coach; but. as bad luck wouldhave it, two men were crossing the plat-form at the time, and both were ratherpainfully hurt. One had his hip sprainedand received several cuts, and the othergot some ugly contusions and a four-scalp wound.. They were taken into thesleeper and made as comfortable as possi-ble while some of the train crew startedoff with the engine to get help. J Onecould see at a glance," continued the law-yer reflectively, "that the victims of theaccident were men in well-to-do circum-stances. The one with the sprained hipwas middle aged and gray and the other\u25a0was considerably younger, but they bothhad the air of business men or upper classemployes. Sitting near by in the sleeper,it suddenly flashed into my mind that herewas the chance of my life to get solid witha big corporation. I remembered, as byInspiration, a story I had once read of ayoung station agent who was one of thefirst people at a great railroad wreck andwho had gone immediately among the in-jured and secured written agreements ofcompromise from all of them at cut rates.He acted solely on his own responsibility,but he saved the road so much money thathe was made receiver or sixteenth vicepresident or something else equally goodand fat, and lived happily ever after.Providence seemed to have chucked a simi-lar opportunity on a small scale at my ownhead. Here were two well-dressed menInjured plenty for jury purposes! As soonas they reached town damage suit shys-ters would undoubtedly take them in hand,and "the road would have a couple ofmighty dangerous actions to defend. Sup-pose I nipped the thing in the bud by se-curing a favorable agreement to compro-mise!

"I had to admit," the lawyer went on,•'that it seemed pretty nervy to tackle thesufferers before their wounds weredressed, but I remembered my resolution,dashed off a brief agreement in blank inmy notebook, and walked over to wherethey were lying. 'Excuse me, sir,' I saidto the elder man, 'I know you are In painand I am going to waste no words butcome straight to the point. Such mishapsas yours usually mean damage suits, withendless litigation, in which the lawyersget all the money. How would you liketo avoid all that, right now, by agreeingon a mutually satisfactory figure of com-promise?' As I made my little talk bothmen stared at me in evident amazement,but they gave me no surprise, for myproposition was certainly unusual. 'Areyou authorized to make us this offer?' saidthe middle aged man, finally. "Well—er—yes,' I replied, giving my conscience a se-vere wrench, 'any terms you make withme .will be ratified.' He reflected a fewmoments and then turned to his compan-ion. 'What d'y' think a<bout it?, the asked.'I don't feel very vindictive, do you?' 'No,'replied the young man, 'I'm not especiallyhostile. I'd settle for considerable lessthan the bonded indebtedness.' 'Supposeyou mention a figure,' said I, blandly. 'Allright," replied the older man; 'what doyou think of $15 and a new suit ofclothes?' I could hardly believe my ears,because I had expected him to demand$500 at the very least, and, needless tosay, I snapped at the proposition. M thinkI can assure you positively,' said I, 'thatyour offer willbe accepted and carried outas soon as it reaches the general office.Kindly sign this agreement and I'll for-ward it at once.' He put his signature atthe foot of my penciled memoranda, and Iturned to the younger man. 'Oh, well,'said he, anticipating my question, 'I don'twant to be hoggish about this thing. Ifagreeable to you just put me down for thesame—sls and a suit of clothes; nothingready made, by the way, 'but a.good, or-dinary, business suit.' 'You shall have it!*I assured him, overjoyed at the extraor-dinary success of my play, and he alsosigned the agreement. Then I eliip-pedaway, so they wouldn't have a chance tomake other conditions, and waited anx-iously for the relief train. It arrived in acouple of hours, and with it was the divi-sion superintendent. I rushed up the trackto meet him. "I want to notify you to payno attention to damage suit lawyers whenwe get to town,' I exclaimed excitedly,'because I have already secured an agree-ment from both men to settle for $15 anda suit of clothes!' 'The dickens you have!'he bellowed; 'why, you confounded gibber-ing idiot, that's our new general manager

! and his secretary!' "CHAS.

Ask any acquaintance -who has been toFlorida what he enjoyed most and, pro-viding he is a nature lover, and cares butlittle for golf or dancing, he will probablyanswer almost instinctively: "Oh, the ex-cursion up the Suwannee, Tamoka andother rivers. Just come home to lunch

\u25a0with me, and I'll show you some photos—some wilderness views that will astonishyou. They are grand."

There is something peculiarly fascinat-ing about these Floridau rivers aifter one

has left the "palmetto shrub" land behindand is drifting through the unbroken

—something quieting and ele-vating—something exquisitely lovely, butalways majestic and grand. To give thissomething its real value, it has to becoupled with memory of the legends thathave surrounded many of the rivers \u25a0withthe mystic glow of romance.. Stephen C.Foster leaned on his paddle, dreamed anddrifted until he called the world's atten-tion to himself by that song which tugsheaviest at the heart strings—"Way DownUpon the Suwannee. River."

On the banks of tlie St. Johns stands a

picturesque little cottage, once the homeof Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and oneIs almost sure to find Kirk Munroe, writerof Juvenile fiction, wandering with rodor gun in some "leafy solitude." Besidesthese, hundreds of artistic and literary

celebrities isolate themselves during thewinter months in secluded hermitagesalong these streams, while the world goesblundering on, believing them to be inthe Orient, Italy, South France, anywhere

but the United States.With the exception of the Hillsborough,

Halifax, Indian and St. Johns rivers thereis a similarity between the streams that

traverse the state, especially In the '\u25a0.•en-tral and everglade portion, and alteryou have seen one, you feel well ac-quainted -with the rest, providing theifnatural beauty only holds out a charm toyou and there is no significance in thelegends of "the days that tried men'ssouls."

Tlie Stories of tbe Guides.

The average touris-t visits the Suwanneebecause he has probably heard his mothersing the song that Foster wrote; but aft-erwards lie makes excursions on otherstreams and marks this pronounced &ame-

ness of scenery. The only way to makethese latter trips worth the while is tolisten to your guide, who if an expert, hastales galore at his tongue's end —tales ofwar and love, of massacres and pitchedbattles, of marytrdoms and heroic en-counters, figuring in each river's history—all equally exaggerated but told in a waythat makes one rather believe them thannot. Ofttimes the guide will point outsome ancient tower built of coquina »toae,

standing aione In the Eilent, unbrokenforest, and about it weave his tale. It isusually the last link between the presentand the past of some old mission, fort orsettlement. Such are the moss coveredwalls of the old Minorcan settlement atNew Smyrna and the ruins of the oldFranciscan mission, as grim, dark andsullen as the old monks that reared it

\u25a0were.

Ten miles above Daytona on the Halifaxthe palmetto dyed waters of the Tamoka

mingle with the briny flow of the other;and to the latter on almost every pleas-ant day of the winter season come launchparties, eager to view the beauties ofthat celebrated stream which negro,crackers and Seminole regard with almost,reverential eyes. Similarly one mightsay to the way the average Minnesotanviews the falls of Minnehaha. For alongthe Tamoka the aboriginies of Floridaquarried the coquina stone and built theiroyster mounds. Here the first Spanishand French settlers fasted, worshiped,quarreled, fought and died.

The entrance to the Tamoka is disap-

pointing. Low lying shores, covered witha rank growth of marsh grass, greet theeye on every hand, and with the exception

ofthe myriads of ducks, continually risingwithin easy range of the launch's bow,one sees little of interest. Gradually thestream narrows and deepens untiL thelaunch is in the timber belt and then thejoys of the trip begin to come home toone.

In the Heart of tbe Tropics.

You are soon moving through the veryheart of a luxuriant tropical forest, be-coming thicker and more interminable at

every turn, until at last you feel as Ifyou are in another world and are view-Ing things as they were in the beginning.The stream twists and turns like a greatserpent, from east to west and from northto south, with sullen recklessness. Trees—dignified forest monarchs —who inmighty battles with the elements havebeen twisted, gnarled and broken, hangso low over the water that their branchesmenace the caps of the enthusiastic groupon the cabin's roof. Occasionally an alli-gator is seen basking in the sun, and im-mediately there is a distracting snappingof cameras and changing of plates, or

possibly a deer, yet to make the acquain-tance of the huntsman and his dogs, re-gards the launch's approach with wideopen eyes and uplifted head and vanishesinto the forest.

Mr. Flngler's Los Cabin.

The launch turns an abrupt bend andthere, snugly encompassed by pines on theleft bank, is "The Little Old Log Cabinin the Lane," recently constructed by Mr.

Flagler, to be sure; but agreeing in everydetail with a typical negro cabin of theante-bellum days. There is a picnic tablein this quaint structure and a fire placein which coffee can be made. Here lunchis served and the sportsmen of the partytake the opportunity to try for the "big-mouths" that abound in the Tamoka.

Five miles further on there is a danc-ing pavilion—another testimonial of theNew York multi-millionaire's strides inthe wilderness. Here,- if such is the in-tention, the evening can be spent in danc-ing and refreshments served, followed bythe most delightful event of the day—theride down the Tamoka by moonlight—which beggars description and makes allexpressions regarding it seem stilted andout of place. —James Reed Hull

BUSINESS 0 FA WEEKThe Drought Was the Principal

Feature of Interest.

New York, July 27.—Bradstreet's says:The hot and dry weather in the great

surplus grain producing regions west ofthe Mississippi river has furnished the lead-ing topic of trade and speculative discussionthis week. Cereal prices quickly respondedto the flood of bad reports and stocks werecorrespondingly weaker, but good rains in thespring wheat and northern corn belt later oncaused reverse movements and the growthof a better feeling. Produce, particularly but-ter, vegetables and eggs, notes the effect ofunfavorable crop and weather conditions, andis high and of poor quality, while cannedgoods are in active consumption and tendupward. Sugar ia irregular in price for re-lined, while raws are firmer.

Other trade developments are rather morehopeful in tone. \u0084...,'.

While heat has operated as a disturbing fea-ture in some sections, it is likewise notedthat dry goods jobbers are in receipt of con-siderable reorders for summer wear goodsfrom other sections of the country. . .

The steel strike is apparently regarded asof less importance than it was a week ago,and the petering out of the coal mine fire-men's and the machinists' strikes have re-sulted in resumption of work in many lines.Building is active, and, while pine lumbertends upward, boots and shoes are movinsrinto consumption in large quantities, textilesare quite steady in tone and the foreign de-mand for our wheat makes it probable thatexports of this cereal •will go far to replacesmaller shipments of other grains.

Wool is in steady demand to cover ordersreceived by manufacturers for winter andspring weights, fine territory wools holdingthe lead in business. Fleece wools are quiet,but a fair business is doing in South Amer-ican quarter-bloods.

Shoe and leather trade conditions continuequite satisfactory, while leather has shownan improvement in demand. It looks as ifthe large shipments of cattle to slaughter inthe west would help tanners' to iq^&jlpwiitheprices of hides. ' " 5C

Summer dullness and the strikeifflfelnatesthe entire iron trade, but demainßßr fin-ished products, such as tin plates, andsteel bars, hoops and sheets, is reducing job-bers' stocks rapidly and causing high pre-miums.
