MUSICAL MENTION.

The action Of Congress in reorganizing
the Marine Band enables Conductor Santle-
mann to get back many of the former
members OF the band, who severed their
connection after John Philip Sousa's resig-
nation as leader. Among those who have
recently returned to the Marine Band is
Mr.. Harry Stone, the trombone player, who
is known as an artist upon that difficult
but highly essential instrument. Mr.. Stone
was the trombone soloist In the Dand when
Sousa was its director, obtaining his dis
charge In 1893. He remained in this city,
however, and was the soloist of Haley S
Band from its organization. Mr.. Stones
return to the Marine Band will give him
the same relative position in that organiza-
ton that Arthur Pryor holds in Mr. Sousa' $
band.
