Origin Of the Marine Band.

A naval officer, who has the history
of the service at his tongues end, SAYS
that the Marine Band owes its exist.
ence to the eccentr;cities OF one Cap.
tain Mcneil, who was u gallant if pc
culiar officer OF the United States
Navy at the beginning OF this century.
The story goes that Captain Mcneil,
when in command of the Boston, off
the coast Of Sicily, engaged band
belonging to regiment quartered at
Messina to play on his snip, and that
when it was safely aboard he sailed
away with it to America. and so the
Marine Band Was acquired.
What became OF this hnnd is not
written, but later, just before the
War of 1872, another naval officer of
reckless and vonturesome spirit, when
cruising along the coast OF Italy, sent
boats crew ashore with instructions
to impress band Of strolling musicians
as American seamen. This was done,
and the poor stolen Italians were
brought to this country. President
Madison failed to appreciate the
humor OF this escapade and ordered
the musicians returned to their own
country. They were, accordingly,
placed on manOf-war bound for the
Mediterranean, but on the way out
this vessel met and captured a British
warship, and, having to return with
the prize, brought the men back to
New York with he:. This victory,
perhaps, inspired the Italians with an
admiration tor the service, for it seems
they abandoned tie idea of returning
home, enlisted shortly aftervarl, and
subsequently were formed into the
Marine Band. There is no doubt some
truth in this story, although it IS not
much moro than tradition, for the
early records Of the band show on its
rolls the names OF thirteen italian
musicians. It's personnel to-day is al.
most evenly divided between Germans
and 1tali:ns, but its leaders have been,
with ono exception, Italians or Of
Italian descent. New York Tribune.

knew why her cousin had so suddenly

triumph made her heart beat quicker,

his face was pale with fear. She saw
look of agony in his eyes as he turned

Madeline was frightened at the look

for sprinkling the linen. 1t was kept
