An enterprising trio 01 Italians nave a new scheme for strict music which is proving very successful iu extracting coins from the dwellers on the upper west side of New York City. To the ordinary piano organ of the street they have attached a system of drums and cymbals. These are ver> effective when the manipulator of the machine grinds out the Sousa inarches and the rag-time airs that appeal so strongly to children ana others who have a | fancy for this sort of music. There is a slap and dash about the music that intariably draws beads to th>* windows of the better class of apartment house and tenements before which the players halt. The novelty catches the owners of these heads, and ae- a result there is an unusual shower of pennies and nickels for the operators of the machine, with frequent requests for a repetition of the numbers that strike the fancy of the nickel-throwers. As a result of this unwonted prosperity th<? machine has a crew of three men, one to do the grindiug cf the organ, while the other two pick up the small change which comes at the trio iu sufficient quantity to keep them busy. Dutch Chee?? at 1'arin Kxponition. Dutch cheese of various kinds was seen at the Paris exposition. The spiced Ley den cheese, Gouda sweetmilk cheese, the well-known Edam, was there. But all these varieties are m/n iijuuu uj^iuu iai iiirin vi ouutu Holland just as well as in rhe places from which they take their name. The farmers of Budegraven had a cheese exhibit at the exposition which for variety and excellence can vie with the products of the better-known localities. ftudegraven now does a larger cheese trade than any other district of Holland, the output last year being 50,070 pounds. Chese generally is estimated by the cat load. ' f lOiNFEKENCfc APPOINTMENTS Charges to Which the flethodistninisters Were Assigned. Chester.
