the downward flight became less rapid
and we sailed downward at about the rate
that the balloon ordinarily descends when
pulled down by the donkey engine. By
the tlmo we reached terra firma and
stpptd out of the car it was Just as
though nothlmr had occurred."
Although the passengers were not
alarmed at the escape of the gas, hun
dreds of spectators on the ground near
by were greatly excited, and as It became
evident that something was wrong with
the balloon they ran to the scene, expect
ing to t-r-o tho two men dashed to death
on tho ground.
W I en tho folds of the silk spread out
ami became a parachute, which broke the
fall, the crowd breathed easier. When the
car of the balloon settled lightly on the
ground about l') feet from the starting
platform, a cheer broke forth from the
crowd, and as the two passengers stepped
forth from the car. smiling and uninjured,
the throng pressed about them and over
whelmed them with congratulations.
Yesterday's mishap to the captive balloon
was tho tint that ever happened to it
while it was carrying passengers. The
management claims that no serious acci
dent could result from the escape of the
gas. because of the fact that the silk al
ways acts as a parachute in the descent.

BOSTON S0L0fSTSINGS
AT SYMPHONY CONCERT.
With Miss Pauline Woltmann of Boston
as soloist, the Exposition Orchestra ren
dered another delightful concert jesterday
aftcrnoon in Festival Hall. The audience
was large- and appreciative. These Friday
ssmphony concerts are growing In popular
favor and are securing a regular attend
ance In addition to the large percentage
of traindents who seek admission.
Miss Woltmann ha an engaging stage
appearance and sings with both finl3h and
f-rvor. Hers ! a contralto voice, very
rich In tone. Her principal number was
a theme from "Samson and Delilah" by
Stint-Saens. This has become a standard
work upon the European and American
stage and also has frequently been given
in concert form The music Is full of color
and has a decidedly Oriental character.
Miss Woltmann rendered this and her
other numbers In a manner wholly satis
fj Ing.
The American orchestral number of the
day was "The Kiss of Joy." by Johann II.
Beck of Cleveland, O.. who ls recognized
as a prominent American compo-er. The
theme was developed from the poetic saga
of the elder Edda. Tho re-sultlng music
has a wild character, though something of
a metric swing Like most coinnoitinnsj
which tell a slory, the listener, unless
thoroughly posted on the subject in ad
vanee, falls to catch the drift in any tan
gible sense. But then that U net neces
sary. The symphony rendition was the Sixth
Svmphony In B minor, ""Pathetlque." by
1. Tschalkowsky. It is a work of great
consequence in the world of music and
the last composed by the author, it was
first rendered at St. Petersburg in 1533
under the personal direction of the com
poser. Three weeks later the mu.slc
world was startled by tho sudden death
of the famous musician.
As its name would indicate, its chief
suggestion ls that of a brooding, all-pos-rcving
melancholy. Not alvvavs Is this
expression confined to the slow cadences
which suit this theme. It would seem
often that ,the drift of harmonies points
to a breaking of the clouds, to an uplift
ing and Joyous chorusing, but alwajs the
shadow descends again and mental
Images accompanying tho music ever be
come again sad and dark.
The nrst movement, although marked
by man changes of tempo, nevertheless
pursues the general scheme of the nonata
form, the customary ilrst and second
themes being stated quite dlstlnctlj, and
subsequently t-ubjected to an elaborate
development, which in turn Is succeeded
by the orthodox recapitulation and code.
With the eommenccment of the main bodj
of the movement the principal theme li
given out by the violins and violon
Cfllos. The flutes and clarinets answer,
and then comes a luxurious development
in which the trumiets. trombones and
tuba, and final!) tne drum), come into
action.
The orchestra now Increases gradual!)
to if full strength, proce'dirg to a pow
erful climax, which Is intensified by an
acceleration of the tempo. This rapidly
sub'.'des until the violoncellos alone ge
out an undulating figure, to an accom
paniment of sinister harmonies from the
trombones and tuba. In their lower ren
ters. This leads to the appearance of the
second theme proper, in the Urn violins
and v loloiecllo", over an accompinlment
from the horns and deeper wood-wind?.
Tho development of this second theme
Introduceti a new motive, vvhleh forthwith
1 worked over at considerable length,
leading In turn to a reappearance of the
hecond theme, now broadly scored, with
the strings unmuted. and gradually dying
away to the softest pianissimo.
The- third movement, in G major, al
though not the last division of this woik,
is In reality in the general form and s,;)Io
of a sjmphonlc lln.ile a composition In
which Tschalkowsky gave full sway to rls
extraordinary skill lit both thematic de
vil pment and Instrumentation.
The last movement, in B minor, is the
slow movement proper of the symphony
dm. the one from which undoubtedly it de
rived its title. This rmarkahle 'omposl
tlon may be described briefly as consisting
cf a passionate development of tvo
t-emes. the first being heard at the out
set in the strin2s. supported by tin: vvood-
wlids. The s'-cond I" the expressive nil lo

and violas, over a simple accompaniment

once the Ievving of an assessment of one-
half of 1 per cent, which will form a
fund to put into effect the order.
In every union office in the Jurisdiction
of the International Typographical Union
where the eight-hour clause is not agreed
to by January 1. 1307. the printers will
quit work. It Is for the purpose of carry
ing on the expected strikes that the re
serve fund is being collected.
Immediately after the roll call at the
opening of the afternoon session, permis
sion was asked for D. J. Spencer of the
Western Federation of Miners to address
the meeting.
This was. granted, and he spoke for fif
teen minutes on the conditions now exist
ing in Colorado. His speech and the pre
vious agitation resulted in the adoption
of a resolutior by the convention, which
censured severely the authorities of that
State.
THE RESOLUTION.
The resolution was recommended favor
ably over several others. It is:
Whereas. A condition ef lawlessness, aceem-
panled by violence, resulting la the tfrath f
many Innocent persons and the destruction of
property, prevails in the btate of Colorado: anj.
Whereas. Tbls condition U tna direct result
cf the followirs causes:
The failure of a corrupt Legislature to com
ply with the will of the peop e of that State,
as expressed at the ballot box. In Its failure to
enact an eight-hour law.
An Incompetent executive, the serviceable teol
of the corporation Influences, which, by brib
ery, defeated the lawfully expressed will of
th people: ih-rcfore, t It
Resolved. That the International Typozrapn
Ical Union. In convention assembled declares
Its tellef trat tre enactment and enforcemcrt
of an eight-hour lave In that State wil Irestor
peace therein: and ts? it further
Resolve-l. That the International T)po?raph
ical Union !ndor-e. the efforts of the labor r
csnlzatlons of Colcralo to ob"via an eight-hour
day. and urses tl-era to continue the stru(rsl
to compel the State authorities to respect and
carry out the provlskns of the Constitution of
th- state.
A resolution creating a memorial day
for printers was pased. and each union
was instructed to set apart one day each
year In which to pay honor to their dead.
UNION-MADE CIGARS.
The d!scusslon of the proposition to
give a strong indorsement to the cigars
bearing the union label brought forth a
spirited and humorous debate. The re
port of the committee Indorsing the use
of the label was finally adopted.
The next action of the convention cre
ated much comment, and was an Inno
vation In union circles, as it petitioned
for an Increase of salary of persons who
are at outs with the unions and who
work in opposition to the unions. The
question was on the proposition to peti
tion the members of Congress to Increase
the pay of the musicians in the Marine
Band. It seems that members of the la
bor organization" of Washington are for
bidden to attend concerts given by this
band, as the memoirs do not belong to
the Musicians' Union.
Many members spoke on the question,
some pointing out that it was probably
the best band In America, and that thi
members could not Join the union, as they
were sworn into the United States serv
ice. Other speakers declared that any ac
tion looking to an Increase In the wages
of persons who worked in opposition to
union workmen was not in accord with the
srlrlt of the organization.
Miss Wilson was one of the delegates
who spoke In favor of the resolution. The
motion was carried by a vote of 72 to 66.
Before the convention adjourned Sir.
Witter announced that the members of the
convention were Invited to attend the
"Louisiana" spectacle at the Odeon last
night and it was moved that the Invita
tion be acceded. The motion was car
ried with loud cheers, and the meeting .'
AtThe night session the question of rfc;
emp!o)ment in offices from which the
have been discharged was taken up agate
This question has become well known as
the "Priority Question." The convention
decided to submit the much disputed point
to the referendum, and every member will
have an opportunity to vote on It next
May.
