BIG CONCERT COMING.
The Veteran Corps Band Will be at
the Academy December 18th.

The Veteran Corps Band of Baltimore
with a female cornetist and soloist, will
give performance at the Academy
of Music on the night of December 14ta.
The proceeds will be divided with the
Daughters of the Confederacy and the
veterans of the Soldiers Home.
This magnificent Band was organized
in 1892, under the leadership Of Prof.
VIM. ii. Pindell as the 9th Regiment
Veteran Corps Band, and under that
lame it went to Richmond, in which
city it was said to have been the finest
band ever heard there. In '93 it again
appeared in Richmond at the funeral of
EX-President Jefferson Davis, of the
Confederate States, when it's superb rem
dition of Nearer My God to Thee was
published through the South as the most
magnificent piece of music ever heard.
In 1894 it was determined to put the
band in stock company, and it was
then incorporated as a stock company
under the name Of ''The Veteran Corps
Band of Baltimore City" This band then
procured a uniform which is one Of the
handsomest in America. The band has
been licked from the musicians Of Bal
timore, being the best in the State of
Maryland, and ranks to-day one of the
+nest bands in the United States. hav-
ing just returned from a trip through
Virginia where the critics place them
as the equal of any band in the country.

RAILROADS HAVE DONE WELL
Now Let Uncle Sam go do Likewise
With His Employees.

The railroads have done the proper
thing in arranging the ticket windows
at the Union depot so that agents can
wait on passengers without standing
before a wide-open window las they have
always heretofore had to do.
Now let Uncle Sam do as well and give
his mail transfer clerk, Mr.. r. %.
Lumsden, some protection from the
cold winds that come sweeping up un-
der the car shed from at least three
corners of the globe. The present ar
rangement for transferring mail at the
depot is a very great convenience to the
people and one that they would not
willingly dispense with; but it is worth
mans life to stand under that car
shed in all sorts of weather and dis
charge the duties Of a transfer clerk.
