LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
About the Marine Rand,

Editor EreRiag Star. wish TO take adyant-
age OF the space afforded by you to the pc lple
Tor the expression of their opinions, and " a
few words in regard to the Marine Band. { AXE
great interest In il, simply because il is our na
tional band, or rather is so considered. II is
often called the Presidents band. L sometimes
attend their concerts and listen to the beautiful
strains there poured forth aud enjoy them
Inuchly, and think the public are much in
debted TO the Secretary of the Navy for afford
ing us this pleasure, for the band Is under his
charge, and is ordered by him to give open air
concerts at the Capitol grounds on every We'd
nesdsy and at the Presidents grounds on every
Saturday.
There is not life enough, though, in it. Why
Is IL not increased to one hundred members
This should be done. why, look at the national
BANDS OF France and Germany; there are up
ward of one hundred musicians in each of
them, / understand. Now, if the national
bands OF those countries are so much larger
than ours, we should increase the number Of
men in our band also.
AT the Boston Jubilee our band did not OBJ
tam the prize for two reasons, viz: their play
ing was not as good as either of those before
named nor were they half as large or had they
instruments equal to or in as great variety as
those of France and Germany. L am glad to
see that two new musicians have been added
to our "Marines" and hope the Secretary of
the Navy will cause more to be added. Instead
of dismissng leaders and appointing new ones
more attention should be paid to the musicians.
lt IS not the director or leader that "makes the
music" but the musicians. Now, Mr. Editor,
the class Of musicians that belong to this band
arc SOMEWHAT below tue STANDARD, ID De sure
there are some good men in it, but yet there ar }
some whose services could well be dispensed
with, and the band could be much improved by
additional and better appointments. Better
salaries should be paid to its members, and by
Offering the inducement better men can be OBJ
tanned than we now have.
The appointment of Prof. Schneider to be di-
rector and s. Petrola to he leader has given
general satisfaction to all. I have had the
pleasure of hearing the latter perform, and
have been present when he has led, and he is
considered an excellent leader, musician and
composer. The director / have not yet heard,
and don't suppose | will ever have that pleas
ure, as l understand he in his capacity as di-
rector does not lead the band at its concerts,
but has general supervision over it.
The classes of pieces played of late have been
gradually improving, and we expect soon to see
one of the best bands of the world organized
from the marines-one that will compare with
any on the globe in point of numbers, excel
lencv of selections and their rendition.
Will the Secretary of the Navy move in the
right direction in this matter-fll the band to
one hundred in number, and appoint men tn at
are suited for the positions to be filled, and who
should, in my opinion, all be master musicians

saw Horace (the prisoner) and man named
Sargent; saw Horace take off his coat and 20
lnto the house; heard pistol shot; heard voices

another voice, ''Don't do that" and then the
pistol went OFF. Could not say he herr the
prisoners voice; don't know how many were in
the house; saw Sargent and his brother 90 into

CToss-examined.-The family were peaceable
and quiet; Horace was regarded as a No. man
John BrGIt0H.-HcSrd the prisoner, when he

night at toe corner; some parties brought HOr-
ace home, ard Sargent told him not to go out;
Horace said. ''Well, then, let me let the pistol
down before IL goes OF and shoots some one;"
they were all on good terms in the room; Hor-
ace did not make any threats; deceased spoke
after she was shot, and said that he did not
shoot her on purpose; the prisoner was mu-
stefan, and when out late at night carried the
pistol; the parties lived happily together; never
had any trouble.
Charles Sargent and Dennis Buchanan testified
