Stackhouse, who has been breeding and rae
ing trottcrs for several years. has brought

FASCIrLLI'S MUSIC.
1t Is Made the Basis of n Criticism
on Congress.

on Congress
The current number of the Dominant
calls attention TO several recently performed
compositions of Prof. FanCiulh, OF the
Marine Band, and speaks of them as highly,
cretIitabIe to himself aud rejecting well
upon the whole body of bandmasters. Prof.
Fanciulh's great ability is used as the
basis for the statement hat while the whole
musical world accorus him distinction
and the newspapers ring with his praises,
the United States Government rates his
attainments as worth $50 month, and bis
status as that of an enlisted man. This
.ow official recognition of the worth OF u
talented musician is declared by the Domi-
nant to be Il disgrace to the country and an
INSULT to the foremost of the arts. /.
The argument is that the bandmaster
deserves a commission, especially in view
of the proposition to rate the gymnastics in-
structor at West Z oint as first tlieutenant,
and for the further reason that brains
should have at least an equal chance with
