Scusa's Famous Band.-Sousa with his
famous land and his talented soloists will
soon appear in this city on the oath
instant, and their coming will be awaited
with with great interest The merits of the
Sousa Band are too we'll known to need
comment, for their fascinating, clean-cut
and spirited playing arouses enthusiasm in
even the dullest mind. With the finest of
brass and the sweetest of clarinets the
band appears to remarkable advantage In
all that 1t does. Sousa tests the resources
OF his players to the utmost, but gives
only the most satisfactory results Free
to follow the bent of his genius, which
he SO clearly manifested at the head of
the Marine Band, with unlimited resources
in the matter of men and music, and, above
all, with that personal magnetism which
seems of equal effect over audience and
players. Sousa has achieved national fame
as the foremost bandmaster, and made his
organization at once the most prominent
and popular of it's kind in this country
He has reached the acme of concert band
music in America, and competent critics
compare the present Sousa Band with the
famous foreign organizations.

band comprises thirty-five finished rnusI-
clans. using a combination of strinscd
and band instruments. and is in som. re-
spects unique. as it is a portion of the
band that has been attached to the i'm
perial palace Of the Car of Russia for
centuries. The men are members of a
Tartar tribe that have lived for hun.l,cds
of years on the borders of the Black sea
They are natural-born musicians, and rot
only play their wild national airs but also
all popular music Of the day.
Judge Tourgees Lecture.-A lecture will
be delivered Monday evening at the Israel
Metropolitan c. M. E. Church. 1st and b
streets southwest, by Judge Tourgee, the

turer, and his talk Monday evening will
