Nobody for a moment doubts or denies the sort of backing he is relying on. Everybody knows perfectly well that powers like George iW.

NEY for music in the parke is well spent. } | { M The Park Commissioner announces that an increased j appropriation of $40,000 will enable the city to provide chore public concerts than ever this summer in the parks of Man- 4attan and Richmond. ‘ The regular Saturday and Sunday 4 o’clock concerts in Central Park can be started a month earlier—the first next Sunday. After une 30 there will be daily concerts for nine weeks until Aug. 31, shen the Saturday and Sunday schedule will be resumed and con- tinued until Sept. 29, a month later than last year. Two months thus added to the city’s open air musical season. Saturday and Zunday afternoon concerts have been arranged for the other parks in aManhattan and Richmond, beginning July 4. New York shows excellent sense in amplifying its summer music. ‘dpen air concerts are about the cheapest and best diversions of a big city during the warm months. In pleading for another safe and sane Pourth, Arthur Farwell, former Supervisor of Municipal Concerts in iis city, recently laid particular stress on the need of plenty of ic to make the day a euccess. But music of the open air, popular sort should not be restricted to holidays. Nothing relaxes and bright- ens up the tired mind and body like gay music ont of doors. We :night learn in this respect from our German cousins. In the chief & «ities of the Fatherland time spent at a late afternoon concert in the ~ park with a cup of coffee is thought to be worth more than money. ——_. 4 QUEER IDEAS IN JERSEY.

A man always remembers a girl's first kiss the longest, because that is the one which he had the most troubdle in getting.

But she soon found she had merely changed her battleground. Court, clergy and populace hated her. Louis way fickle and showed sins of growing tired of the new favorite. Then began her fight for continued power.
