QUEEN VICTORIA'S BIRTHDAY WILL
BE CELEBRATED HERE.
BY GoDFREY's FAMOUS BANG
"ANGLo-AMERICAN ALLIANCE" WILL
ALSO BE REMEMBERED.
Music by England's Greatest Band
VIII Flood Convention Hall With
Harmony on Memorial Day,
Both Afternoon and
Evening.

Dan Godfrey at the head of Englands
greatest military band, will celebrate
Queen Victoria's birthday in Kansas City.
Her majesty's birthday is May "a, but to
the loyal Britons of this city the fact that
the celebration will not take place until
May 30 will make no difference. Rather
will the delay add Zest to the occasion.
for May 80 is a day enshrined in the hearts
of patriotic Americans. 1t is the day when
the nation mourns for its soldier dead;
when sons recount the deeds Of valor of
their sires; when bereaved ones laurel
the graves of their loved and not forgotten
heaves; when poems of praise are sung
in every hamlet, town and city in the
country in honor of the men who died in
order that the nation might live.
Dan Godfrey's band will by its music
cement anew the bonds of friendship
which unite England with America; it will
celebrate with harmony the Ang!o-Ameri-
can alliance, which exists in the hearts of
the two peoples if not in the archives Of
the governments. and which, as the years
roll by, will receive, as it did the other
day at Samoa when British guns roared
in unison with the blasts of those over
which Old Glory SO proudly fioated, en-
phatic Endorsements.
Godfrey's band Is to Briton what Sousa's
band is to the republic. Its leader has
been famous as a bandmaster for forty
years, and for that period the leader of
the band of her majesty's Grenadier
Guards
1t Is making a triumphal tour of Canada
and will appear in Chicago in about three
weeks. There the British vice consul, Philip
E. BurrOugh, Of this city, will go to con-
clude the final arrangements for the bands
appearance in concert In this city at Con-
vention hail. 4 contract for a day and a
night performance has already been signed,
but Mr.. Burrough, to whose efforts alone
are due the visit of the great musical or
ganiZation. will endeavor to prevail upon
the bands manager to devote two days
ume-two afternoon and two evening
concsrtS-to Kansas City. That Mr.. Bur-
rough will succeed no one doubts. He is
charged with Kansas City push from soes
of feet to crown of head and In addition
has stock of genuine British fervor and
enthusiasm stored away as reserve force.
Dan Godfrey, the Great Lender.
Dan Godfrey is now 63 years old, but he
wields a baton with the grace and ease
of a man of half his years. He became
master of his famous band in 1856, and his
1irst appearance on parade as such was
when Crimean troops were reviewed in Hyde
park, London. In 1872 Godfrey and his band
visited the United States and participated
in the Peace Jubilee. The band was an
enomous success, but its reception did not
exceed in enthusiasm that which will be
accorded the present band.
1t consists CT forty musician-soldiers;

court to investigate the beef question held
only one session to-day but nevertheless ex-
amined an unusually large number of wit
nesses, including several army surgeons

that, so far as they know. the health of
their patients had not been affected by
its use.
The court also heard the testimony of Mr..
Greenleaf w. Simpson, of Boston. now en-
gagged in furnishing beef on the hoof to the
troops at island points in Cuba, who stated
that he had had several interviews with
General Eagan prior to the letting of bids
for the troops at Santiago and had urged
the impossibility Of satisfactorily supplying
beef to the Cuban troops in any other way
than on the hoof. or on the block. While
Mr.. Simpson was undergoing examination
Major Lee sought to draw out informat ton
concerning his present contract. hut was
stopped by General Wade, president of the
commission, who said that this was out
side the time embraced in the inquiry.
