yet been claimed by any nation.
Capt. Miller had promised his guests an ex-
hibition drill and at 3 o'clock he redeemed his
promise by marching company d in on the

Of intricate evolutions. The applause which

tinued, and when the company broke ranks
Capt. Miller and the members of his command
received a shower Of gratifying commendation
The drill concluded, dancing was in order and

THE MARINE BAND AND MARIE DECCA
Both Are Highly Complimented by the Chi
cagO Papers.

Both Are Highly CompIimented by the Chi
cago Papers.
The Marine Band and Miss Marie Decca GRE
ated a veritable furore in Chicago, where they
appeared in the great auditorium. The Inter
Ocean, in speaking of the first concert, analyses
the composition of the band, commends its
general work and pays a high tribute to the
musicianly ability Of Mr.. John Philip Sousa,
its leader. 1t also says: "The large aggrega-
ton of brass and wood wind is excellently
handled. either for broad heroic effects, the
delicate phrases, or for the accurate and SYM
pathetic accompaniment of single force. Its
prime virtue is precision of attack and finish,
its second is roundness and purity of tone,
and the third delicacy Of shading, and the
fourth and final feature is the sympathetic in
terpretative ability"
OF Miss Decca the same paper saws: The
vocalist Of the evening was Mile. Marie Decca,
who came as a stranger, but triumphed in re-
firing as an established favorite. She has
pleasing presence, a soprano voice OF remarka-
BILE range and hexibility, used with the skill Of
artist of first rank. Her introduction was
the dazzling aria, the Bird Song from .'The
Pearl of Brazil" Miss Decca had a flute
obligato very artisticslly provided by Mr.
Henry Jaeger, and the instrument was almost
perfectly echoed by the voice. Her staccato
and trill were admirable, and the execution Of
vocal tours de force surprising; the notes run
ming up to Z in alt as clear a bell, the trills
and diminuendos being delightfully."- smooth
and finely sustained in tone. No singer who
has appeared in the Auditorium this season
won such an ovation as followed this brilliant
performance"

gether several Of the most distinguished of the
Methodist pastors and q large company Of rela-
tives and friends. Rev. George Elliott, the

One Of these incidents was Q vision on last
Wednesday evening, which she related the next
morning as follows: When asked il the light
hurt her eyes, she said: mo, can't see any
thing, but / saw light last night. 1t was
brighter than any electric light. 1t seemed
to be some festive occasion, and
was in great crowd and they were all dressed
in white" Referring to this Rev. John Lana
han, ID. D., the next speaker, insisted on the
reality OF such visions, and paid a beautiful
tribute to Mrs. Ewin, whom he had known from
infancy and at whose marriage ten years ago
he oficiated. Rev. Alex. Gibson, d. D., now of
ceived Mrs. Ewin into the church twenty years
ago, and made feeling and eloquent prayer.
The scriptures were read by Rev. John G.
Ames OF the Episcopal church and Rev. Henry
K Naylor, ID. D., presiding elder of the WASH
ington district. The floral offerings were es-
pecially elaborate and beautiful. The bearers
were Mr.. Seth E. Tracy. Mr.. Robert l.. Bains,
Dr. Vim. E. Dieffenderfer, Mr.. Fred Van Dyne,
MIR. G. Warfeld Simpson and Mr.. ]. E. Pugh.
The interment was aG Oak Hill at sunset, and

blessed resurrection"
