Hecker's Instrumentation.

10 the GaZeIte.
If any one would stop and reflect he
can see that in the Instrumentation of a
military band, the genius OF the leader
| and his musical perceptions are made
patent. A leader who loves music is
| driven to so balance mis- instruments as
to make soft, sweet and delightful har-
mony predominant. On the other hand,
machine musician, key TOUGHER, is
liable to choose such instruments as will
make the most noise. Drums are the
chief delight, and brass the only appreci-
alton he has of the beautiful. Hecker
has the only brass organization in
America in which strings, seeds and the
flute outnumbers the brass instruments.
What sweet harmony can one get out
of brass. Can one initiate the song of
the lark the limit, the bob o-link, the
thrush or the nightingale, with drum
or horn; what but the flute, the violin,
or a wooden pipe, can give the soft
sweetness of the human voice.
Let men take what suits them best,
but instruments which can initiate the
human voice, the song birds, and the
soft and gentle whispers of the wind, can
make music, fine music, delicate
music, inspiring music, elevat-
ing and enobling music. The
drums are useful to initiate
the discharge of artillery, peals of thun-
der and crashing destruction in general;
so of all the bass, baritone and brass in
struments in general, useful IN their
parts and in their place. But for music
in its highest sense, that is, harmony Of
sweet sounds, an organization such as
HeckeT- has created, with an instrument
taton such as he has made for the Elgiu,
is the only one which can interpret the
highest ideals of the great masters.
l was present at the Inauguration
of Governor Hahn of Louisiana in 1864,
the first Southern governor inaugurated
under the old flag after the rebellion
broke out. Gilmore had some $50 brass
instruments from the army military
bands, seventy pieces Of artillery and all
the church bells of the city ringing at
the same time. The noise was terrible.
the scene was impressive, rising almost
to the wild and demonacal grandeur of
battle; but it left upon me no impression
of sweet pity, tender love, or heavenly
inspiration. Not so with Hecker and
the Elgin g. To hear Hecker is to be in
spired; to hear the soft and sweet har-
monies brought forth by the Elgin IS, uu-
der Hecker's lead, is to be lifted up-to
be made happy. A LOVER OF MUSIC.

Case of Much Note and Long Standing
Settled-His:ory of Killing.

Case of Much Note and Long Standing
settled-His:ory of Killing.
Special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH. ARK, March 29.-The
trial OF Frank Morgan, a prominent citi-
zen of the Cherokee Nation, was set for
yesterday at the seguayah district court
house, about twenty miles from this
city, but when the case was
called a nolle PROSE- was entered
and thus ended case of great note and
long standing. On the 25th of April
1888, Frank Morgan, who was running
the steam ferry at this place, shot and
killed A. johnson, sheriff of Seguayah
district, Cherokee Nation. The killing
occurred on the sand bar on the On erokee
side of the river opposite this city, and
was the result OF an old feud. The
friends of Johnson swore vengeance
against the Morgans, and Frank left
the country for time, while his
brother, Gideon. moved to this
city, fearing to remain in the
Territory or On his plantation.
Frank returned and was arrested on a
request ISSuSu Dy LUG ODJCA Va tue OueTO-
kee Nation of Governor James H. Berry
of Arkansas, which the governor recog-
nized. However. Morgan was held here
on a writ of habeas corpus issued from
the United States court. A little later
he was released, Judge Parker deciding
that the requisition was illegal and that
no state governor could recognize a
requisition in favor of the Cherokee aH-
thorities or those Of any nation in the
indian country.
At the time of the killing the
Morgans and Johnsons belonged to OPP
posite political parties, the johnson
party being in power. hence Morgan IS
objection to be taken TO the Nation,
fearing he would be violently dealt with,
or, at best, could not get fair trial.
After Parker's decision he continued to
reside in this city. However, the Nor
gan party came into power about two
years ago, and Frank finally began ven
turing over TO his plantation OCCASION
ally. A few weeks ago he went over
on hunt, was arrested and
has since been held under guard. There
was great rejoicing among his numerous
friends over th4re, and he came to the
city this morning for the first time since
his arrest. The killing WIS done ia self
defense. as would have been shown had
the investigation proceeded.

Court Notes.


The State vs.. Mozart has been on trial
to-day before Special Judge Bassett in
the Fourteenth judicial circuit court.
Mozart is a hostler in the employ of the
Texas and Pacific. On the evening OF
December "a, 1888, he became involved
in row with the night yard master Of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. The
latter applied very approbiOus epIthets to
Mozart aud the latter shot him, infiict-
ing a slight wound. 1t is alleged that
the yardmaster had been in the habit of
smashing his lantern over the heads of
his fellow-workmen to enforce his
orders, and had threatened to make a
baseball out of McCart's head in the
same way. The defendant alleges that he
acted in self-defense, and the yardmas-
ter admits that he INDUCED in abusive
language, but disclaims all knowledge of
the lantern episode. The case is now on
trial.
Judge Bassett, who has been sitting
for the past ten days rs special judge
in the Fourteenth judicial district court
announced to-day that it will be i'm
possible for him to serve after to-mOr-
row, as he will have to be absent from
the city for a week or more to attend TO
personal business matters. Unless
Judge Burke is able to serve another
special judge will have to be elected.

AN IMPORTANT DAY.
First Blood In tn Texas Baseball league
will be Drawn -Dsy-Nereer and
Duane in the FONTS.

On the 1925 train this morning the
Fort Worth baseball team goes over to
Dallas to play the opening game of the
season. The boys feel q quiet confidence
in their strength, and hope to be able TO
give a good account of themselves in the
games this afternoon and tomorrow.
Mercer and Duane will be in the points
to-day. with Mallory and Bellmau for
the Sunday game. Manager Fogarty
said last night that he would
bring back one of the two
games anyway. He does not like 10
figure on too much at the start, playing
on strange ground and against unknown
men.
It Is not known who will umpire at
Dallas. The league has three umpires,
Jameson, Hengle and Daily. DAILY is
known in Texas, having umpired for this
league in 1885, Hengle was Western
league umpire, and is highly spoken OF
by those who have played under his rul-
ings. Jameson is not so we'll known III
these parts, but is well spoken OF ID
South Texas.
Mallory is doing better work than ne
did last year, say those who have
watched him at practice since he came
TO Fort Worth. Mercer also shows nne
points. Tobias though, Is counted on
for the Fort Worth's star twirler. de
has terrific speed, all the curves, good
head and is cool as a cucumber 10 TEE
box. Great things are expected OF him.
It Is thought good many Fort Worm
people will be in Dallas on Sunday
taking advantage Of the one fare excur-
sion rate offered.
The diamond on the Spring Palace
grounds has been put in improved shape
The grass has been clipped and the paths
from base to base more clearly denneo'
Some improvements in the outheid are
necessary and will be made before tae
first game is played there.
It is understood the management Oh
the Fort Worth ASSOCIATION are not
cramped for money; they start out pei
ter than any season since the league WIS
Instituted in Texas, having a clear SC
count from last year, and having oeeu
helped out largely by the sale Of season
tickets.
Interest in the game manifested ltseiL
quite forcibly on the streets last night
There was much discussion of the merits
of the different teams, and sumo pes
were placed, Fort Worth being tn9
favorite generally, odds OF ten 70 eigH'
being made on her.

IN the discussion of the Worlds fair
bill in the house Mr.. Cummings of New
York made some charges. He said in
effect that York had lost the fight be-
cause of Benedict Aruolds in her own
fair play; that he was not that kind of a
congressional boy who would hit his mate
in the neck with brick after being
whipped by him in fair fight. For his
part be would act a manly part; he
would stand by the committee because
as a member of congress from New York
it was right to do so. The bill has passed

Mr.. Alexander Steadman of Fort
Worth. well known in that city, and
throughout this section of the state as an
able lawyer of scholarly attachments and
deserved prominence in his profession,
told to q large audience at the rink last
night the story of his recent conversion
during the preaching of Rev. Dixon c.
Williams in Fort Worth. He also gave
eloquent testimony in behalf of the
Christian religion rerOunting the won
derful and the happy change wrought in
himself by the power of the divine spirit.
He defended the authenticity and truth
OF the Scripture; placed faith higher
than reason, and showed by numerous
illustrations that the worlds scholars
and thinkers, and largest-minded men
were believers in the Christian religion,
and had left eloquent and enduring tes-
timony behind them. He drew a vivid
and startling picture of the temptations
that beset the professional man at every
step. and of the evil consequences TO
him as man and a lawyer. that
are sure TO follow habits of iHtempeI anCe.
He told of his experience with the demon
drink; OF the numerous resolutions he
had made TO quit, only to find himself
too weak to keep them. until he asked
God TO help him. Trusting in His mercy
and promises, he had ct last found
strength to resist temptation, and the
day he found it was the happiest day of
his life.
He appealed to his hearers TO believe IN
the Scriptures and look to Christ for re-
lief from the burdens of sin and for
strength to resist and overcome the
temptations besetting them on all sides.
Mr.. Steadman, earnestness deeply
impressed those who listened to HIM, and
all present felt that a man who meant
every word he said was pleading With
them to turn aside from the lives they
were leading, aud live a truPr, better
and purer life hereafter. AT the close of
MIR Steadman 8 address, in response of
a request by Mr.. Williams, about forty
or fifty came forward When he asked
for Christian workers to aid
him in speaking words of encourage
ment to those seeking 30 follow
Christ, only FIVE or six responded. This
showing apathy and disposition to shirk
rather than share tine burden of the work
here in Dallas, drew from Mr.. Williams
q singing rebuke and threat to preach
no more here unless protesting Christians
manifest deeper interest in the work
and Willingness to help carry it on.

The National and New York boards Of
trade have recommended the passage of
the Wanamaker bill tor the establish
ment of a government postal telegraph
system. The arguments presented by
tho advocates of this measure are mainly
deduced from the success that has at
tended this form of telegraph service in
England. Englishmen have by long her.
itage become habituated to a strong CEN
trail government and modes that to them
are in no sense obnoxious are not suited
to people whose traditions are opposed
to governmental dictum in church, school
or individual business. a slight opening
is sufficient for the fioodtide of centrality

the land to cattlemen for grazing pur-
poses, as it has ever viewed such leasing
detrimental to the peace and welfare of
the Indians.
As wards, the Indians have expected
and required guardianship against the
enorosohments Of superior race, and
while 1t is the duty of the government to
encourage the tribes to self-government
it has also been duty to protect them
against such action of private corpora
tions as might retard the real progress OF
the tribes.
A commission met the Indian bureau
at Washington on Tuesday and while not

cation and expel from the territory Of the Cher
okee Nation all intruders or persons not de-
clared by the Nation itself to be citizens thereof.
''2. That Joint commission shall be appointed
to determine the question of citizenship claimed
by the several thousand freedmen now in the
Territory.
SO. That the government shall relinquish its
right to settle friendly Indians on the Cherokee
lands east OF the ninety-sixth parallel.
-. That the government shall indicate a will
ingness to pay fair cash value for the lands
known as the Cherokee outlet.

Discussion About Religion.
Waco Day.

"ASO Oass
THE GAZETTE Is sensible. It made pro-
clamation when Sam Jones arrived in
Fort Worth the other morning that peo-
ple desiring to use newspaper columns
to criticise the Georgia evangelist need
not seek THE GAZETTE s columns unless
willing 10 sign their names to the arti-
Giles. It intimates that its fingers have
been burned ere now in such controver-
sizes and it VIII not 20 near the fire again
THE GAZETTE might have gone further
and possibly Jared better il It had an
nounced Its intention to abstain from
printing any communication, even with
a nom de plume, calculated to provoke
controversies in religious circles. The Day
pleads guilty 20 having in its time done
its share of such printing, but expert
enoe comes with years, and the Day is
convinced that il is not wise policy from
any standpoint. The matter OF religious
belief or religious methods, We begin to
believe, is something that ought to be
discussed in religious journals, IN pull
pits or anywhere else than IN the columns
of the secular press. We have handled
scores of these controversies, for other
people, and looking back over the record
declare in all seriousness that if any
body, and especially it the cause OF re-
ligion has been aggregatively benefited
thereby, such benefit is not apparent-at
least from our standpoint. We propose
to go THE GAZETTE one better in its ex-
cellent resolve and draw the line on all
communications, purely critical and de-
signed to bring religious opponent or
denomination into ridicule or contempt,
unless the people who write them are
willing to sign their own names to the
articles and pay for them at first-class
commercial ties. This Is brass tacks,
and we will monstrate If IL is possible
to live up to IL.
