THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL CADET BAND. -Photo by Miller.

The Minneapolis Journal Cadet band makes i ts bow to Minneapolis: I t s first public appearance was this after­noon when the new band under the di­rection of C. C. Heintzeman, i ts direc­tor and foster father, gave T h e J o u r n a l a complimentary serenade. The Cadet band is the postgraduate course of the Minneapolis Journal Newsboys ' band, and will carry the honor of tha t famous troop of musi­cians to higher planes and more dis­t an t scenes.

From as lively a bunch of mischiev­ous and reckless newsboys as ever " h u s t l e d " papers there has been de­veloped by painstaking effort and in­telligent direction a highly finished band of skilled musicians. No raw ma­terial could hardly have been more un­promising than the Journal Newsboys ' band, organized in the fall of 1897. Every one was a typical newsboy in all tha t the term implies. They did not know a cornet from a tuba and knew just a l i t t le less about music than about Sanskrit . Their average age was about thir teen years, and this is about the worst period to t ake the boys, and an endeavor to form a band seemed a hopeless task. Strong faith, s turdy perseverance, and above all abili ty and enthusiasm were required not only to keep the boys together, but to teach them music. Those who re­member the first appearance of the lit­tle red band in the M e m o r i a l day pa­rade of 1898 will remember how they struggled th iu their elementary selec­tions and covered themselves with pers­piration and glor$ for their earnest ef­fort if not for their music. Those who heard the Journal Newsboys ' Band of seven years ago must note the vast dif­ference in the work of 1898 compared with tha t of 1905. There were 45 boys in the first band and the highest num

Now they are men not only in physique, but in years and having come "to man ' s estate they purpose in the future to claim a man ' s privileges. As the folder members of the Journal Newsboys ' band, they have withdrawn' to give the younger element the same chance they had. Every member has joined the Minneapolis Musicians ' Protect ive asso­ciation, and being affiliated wi th t h a t union, they are avahble for any occa­sion on which a mili tary band can' be used.

I n other words they are professionals looking for professional work, and in point of abil i ty are willing to take their chances wi th any military band in the northwest.

There are twenty-six in1 the organiza­tion, and they include the most capable of the newsboys. Most of them have been under Mr. Heintzeman's watchful care for more than seven years, and have studied assiduously. Their prep­aration has been systematic and intel­ligent, and each man is in consequence a finished player. Their first profes­sional engagement is for the season at the Wonderland, where they will give concerts every afternoon and evening, beginning May 27.

The Jourti&l Newsboys ' band will be continued, of course, and it will main­tain the high standard of excellence i t has a t ta ined. Ever since the first or­ganization, there has been kept in re­serve a preparatory class of about forty boys from whose number have been drafted such lads as made the best progress in mastering the instruments assigned to them. The preparatory school supplies t he newsboys' band and the la t ter furnishes recruits for the cadet band, in which a place will event­ually be provided for every newsbqy musician who shows enough interest in

ber ever called out for a public appear- his work to entit le him to promotion. ance has been sixty pieces, tho more than this number is available.

The Minneapolis Journal Cadet band is made up en tne ly of graduates of the Journal Newsboys ' band. They are the boys of seven and eight years ago.

HaVing already put in eight years of self-sacrificing work on his cadets, Mr. Heintzeman will continue unti l he has formed one of the finest mili tary bands in the country—second to none and equal to the best.

There are few towns of any size in Minnesota tha t the News Boys ' band had not visited, and in addition i t has traveled quite extensively. There is no boys ' band in the country more widely known. I t s longest t r ip was to the Pan- j them? American exposition a t Buffalo in 1902. a t which time the boys also visited Niagara Falls, and Chicago and won uni­versal a t tent ion as well as unst inted applause.

Other notable t r ips were to the Dick­inson, N. D., fair in 1901; to the Domin­ion fair a t Winnipeg in 1903, and to the St. Louis exposition last summer.

The remarkable success of the Jour­nal Newsboy's band is a high t r ibute to Mr. Heintzeman. I t would not be easy to give him due credit for his con­stant effort and intelligent management. The members of the cadet band freely accord to him the credit for the musical skill they have at ta ined. They look up to their instructor and drillmaster with the deepest respect, for to him they owe their position and the fact tha t they have a profession. The evolution of a high-class mil i tary band from a gang of gamins is remarkable, and yet quite logical in view of the systematic train­ing given by Mr. Heintzeman and the unswerving fidelity with which he has remained true to the boys. They have responded by giving close at tent ion to their studies, yielding implicit obedience and the result of the two efforts is the Journal Cadet band.

The Minneapolis Journal Cadet band is organized as follows: Pe ter Denis, piccolo; Arthur Olson, Eb clarinet; Charles Bushka, Pe ter Spertzel, Edgar Michelson, Edward Cutletts, Bb clair-inets ; Charles Rauch. Conrad Derus, W. A. Peterson, Paul Tonning and Will Goldberg, Bb cornet; Ben Cohen, Henry Spertzel, Har ry Rauch, a l to : Colie Na-thanson, barytone; George Gilles, Harru Crist, Alfred Swanson, t rombone; Wal­ter Marsch, F rank Cutletts. C. Rath-man, tenor; John Spertzel, Fred Grab-ner, Edwin Gochia, bass ; Ben RaucE. bass drum; Will Sobelman, snare drum.

A Scientific Exhibit of the Modern Method of Saving the

Lives of Prematurely Born Babies—Reared Under

Glass and With Special Attention From Physicians

and Trained Nurses, a Surprisingly Large Percent­

age Is Saved.

I t will not be long before every-1 yapr**rr%M.O.«*******,*.*;*..*..*.tAAMram body will be asking: " H a v e you seen | - Z the incubator b a b i e s ? " ! Z| ''4$fy/%fV,^?;%{~ "

They are to constitute a feature a t j • \ '*/#' '."~£& Twin City Wonderland amusement -park, a feature by the way tha t will be , * in no sense a " s h o w , " but rather a '• scientific exhibition of life-saving. Tiny mites of humanity whose lives under no other conditions could be saved will be nursed to health and strength, every breath being carefully watched by trained nurses and intelligent physi­cians.

The exhibit is to be made in a two-story building on the lines of a hand­some residence. I t will be sanitary in every particular. The first floor will be devoted to a room in which the incuba­tors , seven in numbeT, will be exhib­ited. A room adjoining will be fitted \~'Z' up as a model nursery and a third is » to be for demonstrations. The rooms ' Z upstairs are living rooms for the corps -of physicians and trained nurses. ' w

The physicians, by the way, are to' be those who have had charge of similar i exhibits a t Ear l ' s Court, London'; the Trans-Mississippi exposition at Omaha and the Pan-American a t Buffalo. Such exhibits will be made this vear only at Luna park and Greenland, Conev island; the White City, Chicago; A t - ! -lantic City, the Port land exposition ' * and Minneapolis. , z

There is nothing of the " f a k e , " catch-pennv idea about the incubators. On the contrary they a ie on a purelv scientific basis, endorsed by the entire medical fraternity. The babies are alJ of premature birth, having come into j this cold world, one. two or even three • * u ~ months before their time.

" H o w did they come to be in the in c u b a t o r s ? " " W h e r e do the doctors get t h e m ? " " A r e they really alive, the same as other babies not reared in in­c u b a t o r s ? " are the natural questions asked of the lecturers, who explain the scientific principles of the apparatus, the method of treatment and other fea tures. The public a t the outset will have peculiar notions. The term " i n cuba to r s ' ' to the uninformed is apt to suggest something more than the rear ing and preserving of life, and conse­quently is more or less confusing. The incubator is a glass mclosure of air space tha t can be kept at exactly uni form temperature under conditions best adapted to reduce the exertion of breathing to the minimum. The appa-atus is not the all-important feature by any means. Apart from trained nurses and wet nuises, the babies have the constant watchfulness of the physicians and a t night as in the daytime thev are fed from the breast every two hours.

All infants weighing: less than two pounds three ounces die on the day of their birth.

If the weight is from two pounds three ounces to three pounds five ounces, nearlv half of them are saved by the aid of this apparatus

If the weight is from three pounds five ounces to four pounds seven ounces, 11 per cent are saved

If the weight is from four pounds seven ounces to five pounds nine ounces, 90 per cent are fared

With children weighing more than five pounds nine ounces the per centage of mortality is so infinitesimal that practi­cally all are saved

MISSES HECLOW AND WHEELER, Pietty song and dance artistes a t the Unique next week

Unique—Continuous Vaudeville. The Unique theater will remain open

continuously all summer, being the only playhouse in the city to follow this

ipolicy. The Unique has had a prosper­ous season, proving tha t the plan of hour-and-a-half vaudeville entertain­ments of a refined character repeated four times a day at moderate prices is decidedly popular.

For the coming week are announced the Misses Ileclow and Wheeler, said

to be extraordinari ly clever song and dance ar t i s t s ; John B. Murtha, a sing­ing and story-telling comedian and in­strumentalists who accompanies himself on various musical instruments; Leon-zo, the juggling butcher; the Hines-Kimball troupe of acrobats, four in number, and litt le Irene Mason in illus­t ra ted ballads. A laughable series de­scriptive of the adventures of ' ' Tom, Tom, the P ipe r ' s S o n , " will be fea­tured in the motion-picture exhibit.

In the nurserv there is a small phar­macy with contrivances for steriliziifg milk, ingenious feeding bottles and scales so delicately constructed that in­fant 's progress can be -minutely watched by weighing.

The hrst question as to how the ba­bies come to> be in the incubators can be answered by the assurance that they are sent by the advice of faimlv physi­cians as the only chance for life-saving.

" A r e they reallv a l ive?"—Most as­suredly so, the observer looking thru the glass case can watch the little ones noting the expansion and contraction of the t lungs as they breathe, lying upon their beds of down.

" W h o s e babies are- t h e v ? " This is the only question tha t will not be answered. Kindly consideration for mothers may necessitate a negative re­ply. The parentage of babies outs no figure in their t reatment . They may be orphans or foundlings, they ma r be of high or low degree. For example, milady of Port land avenue gives b i r th to a girl baby so weak and fragile tha t i ts chances of life under ordinarv con­ditions and the best conditions, too, tha t medical science can supply in the aristo­cratic household has very little chance of living. What can be don'e? Mi­lady 's physicians suggest the- incubator. If she is wise and adopts his sugges­tions, the infant aristocrat will be transferred from the mansion to the in­cubator at Wonderland.

Chicago, May 20.—Most gratifying evidence of the success of the two weeks ' engagement of Mme. Sehumann-Heink and her excellent company in " L o v e ' s L o t t e r y , " a t the Illinois thea­ter, is shown in the engagement of the organisation to remain in Chicago two more weeks. In order to do this, how­ever, it was necessary to transfer the company to Powers ' theater, and Man­ager F . C. Whitney accomplished it by buying up the time held by Charles F rohman ' s " T h e Other G i r l " compa­ny, thereby completing a full month 's engagement in Chicago for his great musical success. There is not a dull or uninterest ing number in " L o v e ' s L o t t e r y . " One can drop in to see the performance almost any minute and be st i rred by melodiously beautiful num­bers, sung as only the members of this company can sing them, or be feasted with comedy lines and situations tha t would tickle a hypochondriac.

No charge is to be made for the care of infants and the onlv tax in­volved is the slight admission' fee for spectators, which, while it bars the dis­interested and undesirable, is essential to the proper conduct and maintenance of the exhibit itself. All thev ask is that physicians and the public co-oper­ate with them in this laudable work.

The number of prematurely born ba­bies, physicians will tell vou, is much" laiger than is generally supposed, aver­aging fiom fifteen to "thirty in a hun­dred births. The medical profession regards infants as prematurely born that do not weigh more than five pounds nine ounces at birth. The number of deaths, until the introduction of the in­cubator system, was steadily increasing hi' a piojjressive ratio that seemed eon nected with the increased employment of women in industrial occupations. At any ra,te the time would appear to have come now to consider seriouslv anv plan that offers to save these little Jives and esoecially one tha t claims to save three-fourths of all placed" in its care.
