SOUSA'S BAND.

Perhaps the greatest charm Of the
SOusa concerts is the rare variety of Sc
lections and musical effects which char
acterSe them. Some leaders are dis
ting-uished for their rendition of CLASH
cal works, others for their popular
music. SouSa seems equally at home in
both, and either in his programs or his
encOres he alternates from grave to
gay, from lively to severe and in a
manner that never permits interest TO
pail for A moment. He recognizes, as
few leaders besides Gilmore has, the
virtue of variety, and does not consider
it inconsiSten with his character as
musical caterer TO follow up the heavy
courses of harmony with light confec-
tons of merry and foot stirring melody.
At one moment he is in the midst of a
Wagner overature OF Schubert SYM
phony, and the next he is rollicking in
lively plantation dance or one Of his
own inspiring and inimitable marches.
In this way he varies the moods and
emotions of his hearers, causing them
literally to laugh and cry in turns, but
neither long. But whatever he does he
does with a perfection and finish, and
that easy self pose which is the mark of
a master. That Sousa thoroughly COM
prehends an dominate the situa ton is
apparent in his every movement, and
his audience no less than his musicians
take the cue from their leader anu re-
Singh themselves to the luxury of alb
solute content and enjoyment unmar-
red by apprehension for the result. All
understand that with Sousa for & leader
they are sure to get there" and have
a jolly time on the way It is useless TO
attempt TO depreciate the Importance
Of a graceful, easy conductor. That
Sousa is a model in this respect we all
know, and he shines especially by con-
trast with some eminent conductors we
have seen.

PUTTING UP RATES

EST EVER KNOWN.

German Steamship Lines Put Up the Price

Proportion-Fact is of Interest in Con-

What a Prepaid Ticket Is.
New York, March 6.-The transatlan-
tic steamship companies have increas-
ed their rates for third-class, or steer
age, prepaid tickets. The German
lines have fixed the new rate at $3.50
from Bremen or Hamburg. The other
lines are in proportion, and dependent
entirely on the port Of embarkation.
This is the highest figure ever reached,
veteran steamship men say. A pre-
paid ticket represents one purchased
on this side of the Atlantic for the use
of some passenger who may be coming
here from the other side. The Increase
In the German lines is more than 81.
One of the steamship men, when ask
ed today why the increase was made
said:
There are several reasons. One is
that this VIII in all probability be a rec
ord-breaking year for third-class bust
ness. The steamship lines will have
more demand for steerage room than
they can possibly handle. Another rea-
son Is that the restrictions placed on
immigration, the 81 head tax which we
have TO pay 10 the government, coupled
with the fact that we are forced TO re-
turn many at our own expense, has
made the transportation of immigrants
unavoidable at the old rate"

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Fritz and Webster at the Crawford
Grand, played TO a small audience last
night, owing, no doubt, to the enormous
Coronado minstrel attraction imme-
diately preceding it. The show is an
exceedingly good one. and the special
ties were very clever. The company is
a strong one. They can all sing well, and
what is more, act well. Fritz and Web
ster are ably supported by company
of high-priced speciality people. They
deserved as big a house as has been in
the opera house this year. The show
is replete with new songs, very clever
specialties and good singing. They carry
their own special scenery and the COM
bina ton is strictly tirst-class one in
every particular.

CYCLE NOTES.
The Citizen Wants to Know Where Are the Phoenix Crack Riders.

The Tucson Citizen seems to wonder whether any of our creek bicycle riders are going to compete in the coming bi- cycle races at that place on June 2. For the benefit of The Citizen The Re publican will say that the sheet need not worry about our crack riders, as they can take care of themselves. The following is a sample of some of their bicycle notes:
 The question now is what will Phoe- nix do towards making the territorial enterprise at Tucson success? Let the Phoenix papers answer this.
 The Southern Pacific company will be asked to give their shop men an afternoon off in order to see the races next Tuesday.
 What has become of Slater, the Ari- zona wonder? Is it possible that since his defeat by Hartwell and Drachman last February he has entirely lost heart?
 Geo. Bovee, the wonderful Ell Paso rider, has again lowered the Texas state record for the quarter, this time bringing it down to 23 seconds flat.
 The Phoenix t& Maricopa railroad has fixed a rate of one and one-third fare to Tucson and return during the bicycle races, the same as the Southern Pacific company.
 Is Walter Kibby the only Phoenician who has the courage to compete with our crack-a-jacks in the coming races Where is Long, the winner of the two

mile handicap Xmas, and Will Rob- inson, the big novice.
 Charlie Drake and Ed Heaton have gone in training for the amateur races, although novices at track work they are by no means riders of no small. ability. It will be remembered that Charlie won the first road race ever run in Tucson and on the track he has a sprint, which promises to tell in the future Ed has a great reputation as a stayer, and no matter how hot the pace he will be with the bunch at the finish.
 In case the racing men arrive Mon day morning they will be taken to the old San Xavier church in the after noon and later in the day shown over the city. The party so far is made up of newspaper representatives, twelve riders and six managers. Several ladies will also accompany the party.

Mrs. Howe,s Husband.

Apropos of the "new woman,'' some body resurrected an old story the other day about Mrs. Juliet Ward Howe that may or may not be true. At all events, it was worth resurrecting. The story goes that Mrs. Howe was one fine morn ton, when she met a friend who asked her how Dr. Howe was. "Dr. Howe?" repeated Mrs. Howe, vaguely. Then, as if suddenly recollecting herself: 'Oh, he's quite we'll, I'm sure. remember seeing in the morning paper that he presided at some meeting or other last evening""

GENEALOGICAL SEARCHERS.
They Spend Hours in the Libraries Trac-
 ing the Family Tree.

 They Spend Hours in the Libraries Trac-
 ing the Family Tree.
 The attendance in the public libraries are kept busy these days by horde of callers who have suddenly developed a mania for genealogical research. In fact, says the New York Herald, it seems to have become fad to trace the family tree. The cause of it is not easily ex- plainable. It is possible, however, that circulars calling for heirs to large for tunes, scattered broadcast by many law yers throughout the country, may be re- sponsible for this fad
 The seekers look carefully through the old books, records and histories, and every little clew found therein is coveted with avidity. There have been rare cases where some startling and inn portant clew has been found, but they are few and far between.
 One of the library attendants told me that many of the genealogical callers were young men, who think a good family tree may help them along in the world, as he expressed it. However that may be, the fad. if it is really a fad, is by no means iippant, as 1t opens the avenue to much interesting and useful infor1Ha ton, and instTucts the searcher, even if his own wish for family informa- tion is not gratifed.

While in a stopping po- sition with his gun in his hand he ac- cidentally let the stock down between the ties and a moment later while in the act of bringing the gun to his shoulder the hammer caught on the lower side of a tie, and the weapon was discharged, the whole charge of shot entering the unfortunate mans throat, passing upward through his head and killing him instantly.

The fat men are supposed to be the sufferers in Phoenix during the heated term and they really do see hard tima as their clothes don't fit. What is more uncomfortable than having ones trousers about eight inches too short and wanting a few inches to meet around the waist and still worse to have their underwear trying to crawl off at both ends? The Alkire company has shown kind spirit by laying in a stock of summer clothing, especially for the big fellows. In the meantime they have not forgotten the lean boys and every man can be fitted out with cheap summer suits, negligee shirts and underwear
