SOUSA'S CONCERT.

John Philip Sousa and his band gave
concert at the Lafayette Square Opera
House last night. 1t was a repetition in
almost all things Of other concerts he has
given in the past Every seat was sold,
crowds packed the standing room, the
encores were demanded with oidtime
vigor, and Sousa's own compositions made
the hits of the evening.
The program was in some respects
disappointment The Sousa audience is
sui generis. 1t revels in tunes, and per-
haps tricks. 1t likes TO see the trombones
thread their way among the cornets and
come toot their velvet blasts from the
footlights; it has partiality for descriptive
music, and is beside itself when the mr-
sicians sing, or whistle, or enact mimic
strike and leave the stage to the hand
master and the empty chairs.
A program of Wagner, Goldmark,
Sgamhati and Massenet is caviar to this
audience. But they crcumvent these OBJ
stacles by going in for the encores. AS
one man in the retiring crush was heard
to express it, Il didn't come to hear the
program: / wanted to hear the encores."
Withal it was a fine event and the
AUDIENCE en- Dyed it,. There WAS sprnk
ling of lei Cepitail,' which gave especial
sa abstraction, for this opera has the i'm
print of Sousa in every phrase. The ia
,niliar two steps Were all given in the
encore program, In fact, there. was but
one Sousa number on the announced pro-
gram.
The pieces which gave particular de-
light were a dainty caprice orchestrated
in the sole for two picolcs, Robin and
Wren,' and the Festival Overture by Lieut.

A BLACK CATS VISIT.
Fnte of n Woman Who believed 1t
Drought Good Lnck.

Fnte OF n Woman who believed 1t
Drought Good Luck.
The black cat superstition certainly
has n strong hold. a strange black cat
came to the residence of 4 Troy fnm-
lily during the present year, and ii was
occasionally fed by the kird-hearted
woman of the house. The cat kept
coming, says the Troy Press, and in
sisted upon domcsticating Itself, and
the woman laughingiy remarked to her
friends that it was q sign OF good luck
But she had no children, and did not
want to be troubled with a cat. Skc
told her husband that he must ret
rid Of it. They disliked to kill the cat,
and finally decided to take it into the
country and drop it.
Late one afternoon they put the
cat in bag and drove about FIVE miles,
when they united the bag and freed
the cat, after which they returned rap
idly. The woman died inside of hall
an hour after reaching home, an ac-
cident Detailing her.
If it be good luck for black cat
to come to ones house, it surely must
signify poor luck to take or drive =
away. The woman was familiar wilii
the omen, as she had repeatedly re-
ferred to it, but probably never stoppcI
to consider that such u sign wo"ld
imply evil consequences if the haThiu.
ger of good was turned away. At al
events, she took the black cat nwa%,
and was killed almost Immediate
thereafter. While we take no atnc'.
whatever in this popular superstition.
we know the facts to be as stated.
A few days after the funeral the cat
came back.

the wife of the captain, confronting an
aged juror on the staircase. Sprung
from an old and respectable Massa-
chusetts family, she was a singularly
beautiful. brilliant, dashing woman.
She had gone in early gir.hood to the
west and became enamored of the pic
turesque river captain, who did not see
fit to marry her and went off to Mexico
and opened his gambling house on the
Rio Grande. One day as he sat dealing
faro there his afIianced presented her
self. Disguised in a mans attire and
armed with brace of pistols, she had
made her way without detection to the
Rio Grande. She was Il skilled shot and
could hit dollar across room. Level
ing pistol at the recrcant lovers head,
she said in short, sharp voice: Marry
me, or take this in your headl" 2he

riage ceremony was performed that
day.
