The committee appointed by Commissioner
Ross. in accordance with the resolution of
citizens meeting, to represent the citi-
zens in the arrangements for the knights
of Pythias encampment in August has or
ganized and will be ready for business when
it receives tonight an expected statement
from the Knights OF Pythias committee of
the funds already subscribed. contracts
entered into, and plans made for the gath
ering. The idea that led to the appoint
ment Of the committee was that the credit
OF the city was at stake. Thousands of
visitors are expected here. and 1t was
deemed important for the reputation of
the city that there should be no failure in
hospitality. The committee assumes the
work as public trust and should have the
cooperation Of every citizen. As the time
in which they must do their work Is short
the response of citizens to their appeals
should be prompt. II the business men and
other members Of the community will give
a hearty support to the committee there Is
every reason to believe that the coming en-
campment will be great success and be
recorded as another event illustrating the
hospitality of the people of Washington and
the capacity of the national capital for
comfortably entertaining large gatherings

Surely Editor Hemphill was a long way
from home when the Charleston News and
Courier said: The Grand Jury has found
true bills against Edwards and Shriver the
newspaper correspondents who discovered
the Sugar Trust conspiracy, and they will
be prosecuted in the criminal courts. 1t is
hoped that the jury will convict them on
the spot and that the Judge will send them
TO the penitentiary. II would do the cause
of honest Journalism more good than any
thing else IL these two champion slanderers
should be put in stripes" Everybody who
has read intelligently the history of the
sugar trust investigation must know that
Messrs- Edwards and Shriver were certified
10 the grand jury not because IL was al
legged they had been guilty of SANDER. but
because they declined to reveal to the COM
Inittee the identity of sources whence they
obtained Information the accuracy OF which
has 70 a considerable extent been sustained
BY the testimony Of Senators and repre-
sentatives Of the sugar trust, and by the
very infornants of the newspaper men
whose condolences they refused to betray.
Why is it that President Havemeyer and
MI Searles have not been certified TO the
grand jury for doing just what the news
paper correspondents did-refusIng to an
swer questions put them by the committee?
Viewed from a purely independent stand
point. it seems as though the Senate is in
tent upon Furnishing those who discovered
and exposed an alleged crime rather than
these who committed II. II the CORE
spoudents have in fact Nbeled anybody, let
them be indicted and punished for that Of
tense But the present proceeding. with its
gross discriminat lOn and inconsistencies, Is
unjust and farcical.

Once more has the House Of Lords tes-
titled 10 its unftnesS for legislative exist
ence; this time by again defeating the
deceased wife's sister bill. This Is a meas
Ure which would legalize the marriage Of a
British subject in Great Britain with
sister Of his dead wife-quite frequently a
most desirable occurrence, and especially
when the first wife leaves behind her
children of tender years. Agitation in
favor Of the bill has been ng-continued,
In the House OF Lords has always been
sufficient 10 defeat measure that has
frequently passed the House OF Commons.
More absurd sentiment than that which
stands in the way of this measure could
hardly be conceived of. and that same
sentiment contributes more than a little to
the rapIdly-srowing idea in England that
n complete enforcement Of church and
state must soon take place. English law
permits the marriage Of people who are
nearly related to each other by ties of
blood. and many OF the extremely aristo-
cratic families give continual evidence of
tine folly of such unions, but when a sensi-
bic Englishman desires to provide his chill
dren with a guardian who will care for
them with affection such as could hardly
be looked for from one not related to them.
he must journey TO Switzerland to have
the ceremony performed, and. should there
be children by the second marriage, has to
worry more than little over their natural
iZation- To unprejudced observers on this
side of the Atlantic it would seem as
though the House of Lords was doing its
utmost to commit suicide

There has never been a more popular
feature Of the Washington summers than
the concerts by the Marine Band on the
south lawn Of the White House Thou
sands upon thousands of stay -at-homes
have enjoyed themselves on this stretch Of
turf, listening to the music Of the govern
nent artists. and no doubt there has been
a great deal OF good done by this subtle
influence. There is one suggestion. however,
concerning the Saturday concerts, which
ought to be made to voice the sentiments
OF the people as represented by the as
sembled audience. Music Is sonnet thing that
cannot be appreciated unless 1t can be
heard 1t appeals to a very few through
the imagination. and there are. unfor-
tunately, not many in this age who can
absorb harmonies by means Of the occult
powers of the mind. Prof Fanciulli may
be governed by the best Of motives in try
ing to educate the ksener sensibilities of
the citizens so that they can feel the music
that they cannot hear. but he has under
taken. 1t is to be feared. rather large
contract Confidential music as 1t has
pten not lnaptly called. appeals to so small
a proportion Of the audiences that assemble
weekly on the White House lawn that 1t
Is not destined to increase the public es-
TEEN of high-grade compositions 1t may
De sad, but it Is true, that the American
ear just now demands volume enough for
1t to catch the strains of the melody once
In a while. Yankee Doodle, played loud
enough to be heard by three thousand
people, will give more pleasure than a
classical composition given in subdued
fashion for the special delectation of the
hundred in the bands immediate vicinity
The selections for out-of door playing for
a large miscellaneous audience should be
such as to carry a considerable volume Of
sound. so that as many as possible Of the
ostensible hearers may be hearers In fact,
and the greatest amount Of enjoyment
may be supplied to the greatest number Of
persons.
