sousa's Band. = Next Sunday night
Sousa's Concert Band will appear at the
Grand Opera House. Seats will be sold at
the box office tomorrow and the rest of the
week. BandmaSter Sousa's success and
popularity are doubtless much due to
his musical compositions as to his ability
as a musician and leader. He Is beginning
to be known as widely through his irresist-
ible marches as Is the Strauss family for
Its charming waltzes. Every band in the
country may be trusted in the march of a
mile to play two or three of Sousa's stir
ring marches, and no pianist's repertoire is
considered up to date" which does not
contain the High School Cadets" the
Beau 1deaP' and others of Sousa's compo-
sitions But nobody can play his own cem-
positions like Sousa himself. and this will
be one of the strongest reasons why our
readers Will turn out en- masse to hear
Sousa's Band when it appears in this city.

cided impression In the literary world. Mr..

lections portions of an unpublished story,

GIBRALTAR's DEFENSE.
Cannon In the Rock Galleries Would be
Absolutely Safe.

Colonel L. Mitchell in Temple Bar: En-
perimonts at Shoeburyness have shown
that an Armstrong shell can be thrown
Gig yards-about five and one-third miles
1t is therefore absolutely clear that if all
the fleet were temporarily absent either
on some special mission or dispersed by
Storm hostile ironclads taking up a posi-
tion within four miles of the eastward of
Europa Point might with impunity send
shot and shell into the outlying parts of
fortress and cause much destruction of life
and property. on the other hand, the gov
ernor of the fortress would not be idle, and
the experiences of the late civil war In
America have abundantly proved that the
cannon in fortresses, If they strike a ship
of war with their projecties even at long
range, may do considerable mischief, while
on the other hand many shot and shell
may strike fort and only do trlfiing dam
age,
1t is practically impossible to throw shot
or shell over the high part of the rock near
Spain, and the cannon ensconced in the
unique rock galleries, with their royal ar
tillery gun detachments would be abso-
lutely safe Even If the neutral ground
between Gibraltar and Spain were occupied
by hostile foe, comparatively little dam
age would be the result. During the writ
er's stay at Gibraltar 1t was considered de-
sirable to try the experiment of firing up
ward from the plain on the Spanish side
into the galleries, dummies being placed to
represent the necessary gun attachments.

Upward, 1t was fully an hour before any
of the dummies We're hit, after the expend-
iture of much ammunition.
In actual warfare, of course, the British
rifle sharpshooters must rave picked out
their foes by firing downward from the
