SOUSA'S BAND

Gave Two Very Successful Concerts at
Wheeling Park.
There is magnetism in the name of
Sousa, judging by the attendance at
the two concerts given by his band at
Wheeling Park yesterday. His pres
tige as the foremost American composer
in a certain line has given him the
name of March King" and his COM
positions enjoy a greater degree of pop
ularity than the creations of any other.
1t is generally conceded that no or
ganization is so well qualified as
Sousa's band for the rendition of the
works of Soust and ether composers.
The visit of this incompatible musical
organization was therefore a genuine
treat, of which the people of this city
and vicinity were not slow to avail
themselves.
The afternoon concert began at pa
O'Clock, and the Casino was comfort
ably filled, the audience including all
the cultured musical people of the city.
Each number on the programme was a
veritable gem, and was rewarded with
hearty applause. 1t was so at night
also, when the crowd was large, in
spite OF unpropitious weather. The
solo numbers were given particularly
strong applause, and several numbers
on the programme were enthusiastical-
ly eneored.
The band rendered. both afternoon
and evening, Mr.. Sousa's latest march
composition, The Stars and Stripes
Forever" destined to become one of
his most popular works.

CHEATHAM ASKS FOR FEES.
The Recorder of Deeds Claims 81 300
From the District.


Henry P. Cheatham, Recorder of Deeds
for the District, has filed bill with the
District Commissioners amounting to ST.
300 which he claims as fees for filing ia
pers. The question of the payment of this
bill has been considered by Commissioner
Wight and Auditor for the District ]. t.
Petty, but no decision has yet been reach
ed as to the final disposition of the matter.
1t is also suggested that the claim be sub
mitted to A. B. Duvall, Attorney for the
District of Columbia and that his opinion
be obtained before the matter is disposed
of by the Commissioners.
When Recorder Cheatham presented his
claim to Commissioner Wight the latter
promised to investigate the matter. Since
then Mr. Cheatham has been informed that
the case has been put on file in the Office
of Auditor Petty. Mr.. Petty, however, is
reported to have said when the matter was
referred to him that, because of the fact
that the Recorders Office showed a surplus
each year there is no necessity for the bill
TO be paid, as the amount paid would nat
uraliy be returned to the Treasury as part
of the surplus for the current year. In
this opinion, il is said that Auditor Petty
is supported by Treasury officials who have
given the matter consideration. 1t is un-
derstood. however. that Commissioners
Wight has asked for the papers in the case,
but will not make any decision until aft
er he has received Auditor Petty's report.
In the meantime the Commissioner will
submit the question involved to Mr.. Duvall,
the Attorney fo- the Commissioners, and
will wait his opinion before taking final
action.
