MUSICIANS FAII TO RESPOND.
Futile Efforts to Secure a Band for
District Regiment.

D10trhct Hc&thuchN.
The 1st Regiment of District Volunteers
will have no inspiring music to cheer them
on their way to glory. All efforts to se-
cure the enlistment Of twenty-four first
class musicians for the formation of the
regimental band have failed. This fact
was realized yesterday afternoon when the
hour fer mastering in the musicians ar
rived and only a knot CT ten reported for
duty As the requisite number was not
present and as the indications were that
no more musicians could be induced To Join
the volunteer ranks 1t was finally decided
that the District regiment should 80 into
the field minus this important feature.
When the proclamation calling for 125,0oJ
volunteers was issued the War Department,
in its explanation, authorized the enlist
ment of regimental bands These bands
were to consist of twenty-four pieces. and
the members of the organizations were TO
be enlisted in the ranks as privates ard
then assigned by the commanders or :he
different companies to form the pani. As
the pay of privates at present amounts TO
but $3.50 per month, il can be readily real
lied that it would be with some difficulty
that first-clasS musicians could be induced
to leave their lucrative employment at
home for duty with the army at such poor
pay. So 1t was with the District.
When 1t was announced that the District
of Columbia would be allowed to furnish a
full regiment Of volunteers 1t was at once
surmised that the recently organized Ma
tlonal Guard Brigade Band would volunte eer
it's services and accompany the Washing
ton men to the scene Of encampment, and
later to the front. An effort was made in
this direction. but without avail 1t Is said
that. In spite of reports to the contrary,
there has naver been chance of securing
sufficient number Of desirable musicians to
form the band. The National Guard Brig
ade Band will therefore remain at home
maintaining its Organization. and standing
ready to again serve the National Guard
brigads Of the District when 1t is reorgan-
lied at the conclusion OF hostilities between
the United States and Spain.

Company F of the District forces is
mourning the prospective loss Of Admiral
Dewey, the little bantam rooster they re-
garded as their mascot. Col Harries has

that no "mascots' will be taken to Chicka-

DIR. POTTS CALLED TO LOUISVILLE,
Beloved Pastor of Park-Plnce Church
Declines n Most FIattering Offer.

Rev. Thomas N. Potts, ID. D., the much
esteemed pastor Of Park-Place Methodist
church and popular gentleman. declined
on yesterday very fattering offer to
become the pastor of one of the largest
and richest Methodist churches in the
South, surprising in membership and
wealth any in the Virginia Conference
the Fourth church, of Louisville, Ky.
Bishop j. c. CRANBERRY came to see Dr.
Potts on Wednesday and made him an
offer Of the pulpit of the most fashionable
church of Louisville, and gave him until
yesterday, or longer IL necessary, to de-
eide so important a matter. Yesterday
morning DIR. Potts wrote his reply TO the
Bishop, declining to accept the proffered
call. The fact that DR.. Potts should have
received such an offer is not so much a
matter of surprise to those who know
him as a pastor and are acquainted with
his ability as a preacher, but 1T will be a
matter of sincere delight that he will not
leave Richmond.
Dr. Potts has been pastor of Park
Place for three years this November, and
has only one year more at this charge
He came here from the Maryland Con-
ference.
