A California Judge NJ akes a sensation in
 Court.
 One of the peculiar brand of judges peculiar to this peculiar community invested in 8 ready-made outing coat on his way down to court the other morning. As the day was excess sively warm, his honor concluded to slip on the garment just as it was taken from the window, and un- mindful that placard was sill at- tached to its tail, proceeded calmly on bis way.
 "Glad you don't make any bones about ssying so," remarked friend, skipping him on the shoulder at the next corner. "There's nothing like coming out fat-fooded and above. board"
 "What the blszes do you mean2" asked the court, but his friend worked off an indescribable wink and pa assed on.
 That's right!" warmley jaculated police court lawyer as the jurist reached the city hall. "Nothing like getting down to bedrock rates these hard times. See you later.''
 ''I always thought that man was crazy" unused his honor as he eu- tered the court room, where he ob. served that his advent created very marked sensation indeed. One of the regular practitioners grasped his hand excitedly and whispered: "That's the way to do business, Judge. Now, how about this Glucky vs. McCorken case? Would $75 strike you as about right?"
 ''Is everybody insane -or-or is this some dreadful dream?" gasped the bewildered dispenser of justice. "Have l."
 Just then the placard became de- tached and fell to the floor. Even the ragged vagrant in the dock smiled hopefully as the judge picked 1t up and read: "No Reasonable Offer Refused. ."-San Francisco Ex- aminer.

BANDS AND BANDMAsTERs.
French, German and English Militar
 Mu ic as it Sounded to an Expert.

French, German and English Military Mu ic as it Sounded to an Expert. John Philip Sousa, the popular bandmaster, who has been away on 8 trip to Europe, did not waste his time abroad. He has been studying military bands and music generally in various lands.
 II observed as whole," said he to me, 'that the French bands are the best. I think the Garde Repub- licaine Band, of Paris, is head and shoulders above any other band in Europe. The lightness and delicacy of its playing stows to very excel lent advantage, but if it has fault it is the lack of virility and power, and that is more apparent when it is known that they number over eighty instru. mentalists.
 ''The German bands, as rule, are entirely too brassy, and lean to the beer garden style of music. ''The English bands are more of a nondescript character. While not as commonplace as the German, they seem to lack coloring, and suggest brandy and soda. I think the rea- son of inferiority of the German aud English bands 10 those ot the French is that there is more attention paid to the soldier musician than the ar- tist musician. In France, it seems to be diff rent--the artistic side is first considered, and the soldier next. All the band masters of the French service are commissioned officers, while those of the German, and with single exception, Godfrey, those of the English are non-commissioned officers.
 ''I did not hear any orchestra in Europe which I would consider equal to tho Thomas Orchestra at it's best, and did not see any leader equal to Theodore Thomas, excepting Hsns Richter, who seemed to be giant among the conductors of Europe. While the orchestra he was leading in London did not show the finish of detail that we have learned to expect from our crack organizations, the wonderful ability and magnetism of Richter stamped him in my mind as the greatest living conductor. His interpretation of Wagnerisn music would certainly impress any musi- clan with his keen insight into the intricacies and meanings of the Wsg- merriam score. He seems to be a thorough master of all the posslbili- ties of this great German composer.
 'fOne of the most touching things which I met with in Europe, and coming next to the deference which the average European has for Ameri. can dollars, is the average English veneration for vocal ruins. I at- tended the Handel festival at Crystal Palace and heard some of the mag nificent vocal ruins in the way of tenors and baritones who had seen better days vocally, and while they sang out of tune with little or no power, they were greeted with rap turous applause" ."-New York Her. aid.

cause the monument of the great TO- nance writer has been defaced by relic hunters. There is reason to fear that lack of respect is one of our national defects. This defect is commonly charged upon the rising generation, but children of larger growth do not appear to be free from it.

An ounce of permanganate of potash, which may be obtained of any druggist, will make bucketful of as good 8 deodorizer and disinfectant as can be obtained.
